Talking about how the band recorded a version of the Trapeze classic, Medusa, Joe revealed how he captured the guitar sound.
‘’The amazing thing about Medusa is that I used Mel Galley’s guitar on that. Glenn has Mel’s original Les Paul and he brought it down to the session. I mean it’s THE guitar, the black Les Paul custom. We re- strung it for that song so that guitar has now been on the two versions of that song. I used some tremolo effects and I tried to put my own stamp on and also pay tribute to Mel and the Trapeze legacy. It helps of course to have one of the original members of the band there, so I could say to Glenn ‘’Am I doing anything sacrilegious here ‘’. I love that track.’’
