Welcome back to the UG exclusive video-show, In The Element, where we take you behind-the-scenes with your favorite guitarists in a light never seen before through the eyes of your host, UG Multi-Media-Guitar-Mad-Man Chris Buono and the omniscient Doug Osborn.
In Part 2, after finally finding a place to park, the dynamic duo step onto the Shadows Fall tour bus with rhythm guitarist/vocalist Matt Bachand. Parked out in front of the Pearl Street in Northampton, MA, the band and crew are gearing up for the kick-off gig for the Sounds of the Underground Tour.
After making the journey to the “lounge” at the back of the bus, Chris and Doug sit down with Matt and talk about the glories of life on the road and what you need to survive things like a full scale disco, the bottom bunk, and the Black Tooth Grin.
Be sure to check out the lesson/interview Chris did with Bachand and Donais in the December 2007 issue of Guitar Player magazine, which is available now! Hey, while you're at it, go get a copy of SF’s latest opus, Threads Of Life, on Atlantic records!
I have to concur with the previous statements of my colleagues. I did like the "blooper reel" aspect of the end, though I thought some of the actual interview could've been a little bit better edited. It was good, though Thanks for contributing so much to UG, Chris.
Hey, hey: Matt's a good dude for sure and a good friend. Not everyone comes off stellar on camera and it was a LONG day. Let's cut the brother some slack
O, I HATE Bud Light--I'm a bit of a beer snob actually--and he knows it. As for Doug ... he was holding the camera??? I don't know!
