http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/deerhunter-roll-out-mellow-monomania-tunes-in-atlanta-20130516 The above link is pretty spot on, with regard to Deerhunter's set. I had seen them before, maybe ten or twelve years ago, back when they were basically noise terrorists. I was not a fan of them back then, but I could tell they were striving for something greater. I was very happy to see that they have become a band with real songs, great melodies and capable musicians. It was very satisfying to see that. I was a little nervous about the Breeders set, after seeing their lazy, too slow

That film played in Atlanta a couple months ago. Definitely worth seeing. The man is a lunatic.

Robbie Krieger on a Gison semi-hollow instead of the SG he usually plays.

I think that's a Fender Bass 6.

Johnny Ramone, playing what appears to be a Rickenbacker instead of his Mosrite.

^Fucking sacrilege, James. What does Curt normally play? I've never seen them, unfortunately.

They were (very poorly) keeping Deerhunter's opening slot a secret for some reason, but it was finally announced last week after people had figured it out. They're on the same label, there's a new Deerhunter record, Deerhunter is opening Breeders dates in nearby cities, there's an existing relationship between the two bands, etc., so it isn't surprising to see them share a bill. I like Deerhunter, but I'm not sure I would go to one of their headlinig shows, so I'm glad to get to see them tonight.

Maybe in his professional wrestling era. Even the script writers have to be massive. That's definitely a Gibson neck. It looks to me like a Les Paul with a reshaped body.

The Breeders and Deerhunter

I knew there was one out there somewhere.

Springsteen on a Gibson. I'd love to find a picture of Les Paul playing a Fender.

Bo Diddley

Good question. That brown guitar next to him is not an SG, either. Is that thing photoshopped?

^^LOL.

Monster era? I had forgotten he played a Les Paul for a while. Me neither. Nice find! And yes, that's an SG.

When you are creating a post, there's an icon above the text area that looks like a Polaroid photo. You click on that and a box will pop up in which you can paste the photo's url. Garcia's a good example. The Tiger guitar (or whatever it's called) became his iconic guitar, but there are photos of him playing all sorts of other guitars.

Willie Nelson playing a Strat. I guess I don't know how to embed youtube videos...so here's a photo of him playing a Fender Jazzmaster:

Everyone knows Jimi Hendrix is associated with the Stratocaster. For Springsteen, it's his Fender Esquire. For BB King, it's Lucille. Willie Nelson, Trigger. etc. But sometimes they play something different. Let's see some photos of guitarists playing guitars (or other instruments) other than what they are best known for. SRV

If I was M. Ward, I would want to keep this band going for as long as possible, for non-musical reasons.

http://thetalkhouse.com/ Not sure if you guys are familiar wuith The Talkhouse, but it's a site where artists write essays or reviews of other artist's work. Here's one on deerhunter written by someone I've never heard of.

If he was a midget, wouldn't a 4 foot stage be plenty tall enough?
