Gibson Reunited

Glenn is working and reuniting with Gibson guitars after many years.

Glenn tells us: “It was all about the Gibson 335 whilst in Trapeze. The Medusa album was written with this instrument, in the pic I am playin’ the Epiphone Elitist and will be playin’ it on the Rock’n’Roll Fantasy Camp tour….they have sent me a Cherry Red Gibson 335…..You Are The Music…was written on a ’71 Gibson Les Paul, so it should be obvious to everyone that I am goin’ “home” to the sound that is appropriate for me….I am playin’ more guitar now than ever…and I am honored to part of the Gibson family”.

You can read more on the Epiphone Elitist and see the pic he refers to, here:

Glenn Hughes Autobiography

British author, JOEL MCIVER, and co-writer of Glenn’s autobiography was this week’s special guest on Bruce Dickinson’s (Iron Maiden), BBC 6 Music radio programme, “Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show”, which is scheduled for airing on FRIDAY, AUGUST 15TH at 9:00 p.m. GMT (1:00 p.m. PDT / 4:00 p.m. EDT); McIver’s segment is featured from 11:00 p.m. GMT (3:00 p.m. PDT / 6:00 p.m. EDT).

Joel and Glenn have been working on the book for the last two years and, as the author tells Dickinson, “Glenn has led a life that you literally would not believe. He shouldn’t be alive today. This book tells the story of his downfall and miraculous recovery to his current state of sobriety in full, technicolor detail with no punches pulled.”

You can listen to the “Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show” live via the internet at:

The show is archived at the same page for several days after broadcast.
