KILL TO GET CRIMSON

and maybe infos I compiled Ingo's site in the "Gear used on all songs for all albums" section   :
http://www.mk-guitar.com/gear-on-all-songs-for-all-albums-wiki/

coincidentally, I just updated this section last week, (before Guy posted his diary page), by adding 4 albums :

NHBs, neck and neck, ATTR, and Privateering

I will add the MKnews links in the albums pages

And  to Jarle, congrats!

You all know these two little creatures that sometimes sit on your shoulder, that little angel on the right and the little black devil on the left, talking to you? I had the imagination of Guy Fletcher today, in both variations...
The bad Guy was arrogantly saying to Glen Saggers, ah, give them the list, I have this boring competition for the get-a-lifers and really don't feel for working it out, Glen was on the spot providing the list, and Guy posted it without even looking at it... you can probably imagine what will happen to Glen in THIS dark world...
On the other hand, we have the bright friendly world, and the Good Guy was thinking, those poor fans had to wait for three months now for this diary entry, I will give them something for compensation...
 

Really, I have no idea how this could happen.. Do you think Guy does not even care about which songs have been released (as bonus tracks) and which not..?

Now more seriously, I listened to Two Skinny Kids on YouTube first time since years, and it is really so touching. The idea that MK came back to this after the Phil Everly died has something sad and is so typical MK. It is obvious that now it was the time to do it once more, properly.

Do you think this song will be recorded with pedal steel, therefore with the magic Paul Franklin again? Would so love to hear him again on an MK album..

It will be interesting to hear it from the new album and compare it with the old version - remember Secondary Waltz, there was not much resemblance with the first "Golden Demo"... I would love to hear it the same style as on the YouTube version.. with undoubtedly better vocals of course...


And talking about Paul Franklin, the track name "Bonfire Night"  let's my imagination go off for a new On Every Street...

Btw, Bonfire Night is now deleted from the list

[LoveExpresso]

yeah, wanted to post that in the same minute. Strange enough, the other three songs are still there, whatever that means..

I still miss the old times at TR 

Don't you cry Border Reiver... most of the T-Roadies are here 

[H97]

Aaaaah I did the first six guitars but stopped because I had no time.
And yes, these were all right

I was astonished about some guitar infos Guy provided. I always thought the blue Pensa "D" really was used on Yon Two Crows. Also I never knew about the
Gretsch on In The Sky and Seattle..

Me too!  It also made me think how Mark has managed to reduce the number of guitars he takes on the road with him.  The red Strat reissue takes centre stage now and covers many bases, replacing a lot of guitars including the '54 Sunburst he used to take on the road for OSL and SFA.  Most of the guitars he takes on the road now are pretty new (aforementioned Strat, Don Grosh and the Pensa's) except the Les Pauls.

I wonder if that song titles are from new songs (or songs for the next record) or songs left out of previous records...

Here's original post with songs:

[LoveExpresso]

Yeah that's the web, nothing's ever forgotten..

maybe Bonfire Night was sacked because of the similarities with  the world number one hit Bonfire Heart by Mr. Blunt...
