Like most people in the late eighties hair metal scene I had a Floyd and over used it. These days I like a good Strat type trem and a roller nut. After watching Jeff Beck abuse the shit out his trem and hear it returning perfectly in tune I couldn't see the point of a Floyd
Is it bad that I think pos 2/4 on an RG sound better than normal strats a lot of the time?
I gigged a pair of Ibanez RG560’s back then & to be frank they are still the most reliable instrument I’ve ever played live. As long as you set them up properly. I ended up not using a tuner onstage, because they were so consistent.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Beat It (guitar solo)
Walk this Way (Aerosmith & Run DMC)
You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi)
and there's probably one by RATM though I'm struggling to think of specifics - maybe Bullet in the Head
...and then I got stuck. Maybe something by Metallica?
I guess that makes it the ultimate poster-child for locking trems...
He didn't use a Floyd obviously on Eruption but a Floyd would have made his life a lot easier on that album had it existed at the time. Probably why he installed one as soon as it became available and used one for the last 38ish years.
I didn't actually realise that wasn't even a floyd in use. So definitely doesn't qualify, song or not!
Phil X does pretty well without one.
