Interview with Bernie from Andertones.

Skip to 9:00 in for his 59 Les Paul aka The Beast.

All I'll say is; Joe, if you can't find your setlists, you better call up Bernie.

I watched that video just yesterday. Bernie Marsden really seems like a great guy, and that LP, the Beast, is amazing. Seeing it has me GASsing for an R9 really bad. When he removes the poker chip and reveals how much red is under it you really get a feel for the amount of fade that happens to these classic Les Pauls from that era.

How I’d love to see you smile....

So, 47 minutes ago I opened this thread.  That was good!  I am fortunate enough to have seen him live, what a player and what a guy. 

Rusty, going in I was anticipating the red reveal under the chip.  I wasn't expecting that though!

Thanks for the link Xavier

Re: Bernie Marsden's 59 Beast (and Joe)

Totally brilliant interview with one of the nicest guys. Also refreshing to see and Anderton's vid that isn't an attempt at a musical Top Gear. :lol
