Vince Gill has opened up about his role in the Eagles, explaining why “restraint” is vital to his success. The country star joined the band in 2017 following the death of Glenn Frey. During a conversation with Guitar World, Gill admitted it’s “pretty surreal” to be part of such a legendary act, while also explaining how he changed his approach to fit in. “This is an interesting gig for me with the Eagles because I only play a little lead guitar,” Gill noted. “There are only two or three songs that I solo on, which is different from what I’m used to, where it’s solos all night long.” With Joe W...

Let It Be director Michael Lindsay-Hogg said a famous spat between Paul McCartney and George Harrison captured in the 1970 film about the making of the Beatles‘ final album was no big deal. “Nothing was going to be in the picture that they didn’t want,” Lindsay-Hogg told Grammy.com. “They never commented on that. They took that exchange as like many other exchanges they’d had over the years … but, of course, since they’d broken up a month before [the film’s release], everyone was looking for little bits of sharp metal on the sand to think why they’d broken up.” During the often tumultuous reco...

Original director Michael Lindsay-Hogg confirms that the shivering little hair on the microphone as John Lennon sings “Across the Universe” in the new Disney+ remaster of Let It Be was meant to be there. This potentially distracting moment arrives about 17 minutes into the Beatles film. “At the beginning, we talked about taking that out – because they can take it out,” Lindsay-Hogg tells Variety. “We talked about taking that out and then we thought, no, it actually was there – this little funny bug of hair, which is on the kind of felt of the mic or whatever the covering of the mic is. So, lea...

Ringo Starr has been issuing EPs since 2021 but is now pledging to return with an album-length project. He’ll follow up the April release of Crooked Boy by circling back to country music, a genre that helped define Starr’s career with the Beatles and as a solo artist. “I’m working on it with someone very special – T Bone Burnett,” Starr tells USA Today. “He’s doing stuff in Nashville and he comes to L.A. and it’s all working out. He came to me with nine songs. It won’t be out until October, at least.” Starr also recorded 1970’s countrified Beaucoup of Blues in Nashville. His sophomore solo rel...

During an appearance on the Talk Louder podcast, Johnson — who first played with Cooper in 2004 — recalled his hair-raising debut with the shock rock icon. “We had three days of rehearsal and there’s all of this, all these notes about the production,” the guitarist remembered, adding that he was told where to stand for various theatrical parts of the show, including the use of a guillotine and sword play. “I was like, ‘Wow, man. This is like ...

Steve Perry has enjoyed revisiting songs from his time with Journey in recent years, updating “Only the Young” and “Separate Ways” in an innovative fashion. Sometimes, the opportunities present themselves in unusual ways. That was the case when he found out that his longtime friend Trev Lukather had plans to record an updated version of “It Could Have Been You” — originally a deep track from 1986’s Raised on Radio — with his band, The Effect.
