Brooklyn, NY show (5/16/12)

Is that an Ibanez Alex is playing now? For any guitar players out there how much does this differ soundwise from a Gibson Les Paul he used to play?

Oh yeah you'd totally think people would get crazy especially if they paid scalper prices. But even during Bruce Springsteen at the IZOD, which people fought tooth and nail over to get tickets for, saw people leaving before the show's end. I was surprised, but then again not really.

The theory is NYC crowds (and I've heard this about L.A. too) are jaded because everyone comes through town, whereas in the other areas of the country, bands aren't in town every few months, so they appreciate the show more. The best crowds I've seen were small clubs in the South. People go ballistic and it's awesome. Brooklyn's crowds have been even better than Manhattan's. That Frank Turner crowd at the last Knitting Factory was intense.

I always associated Ibanez with hair metal.

Alex's guitar looks like a Gibson SG Junior. and it looked like Brian was playing all Telecasters again. I'd assume from Nash but someone will have to ask him.

If you checked on all of their instagrams, all of them ( including Ian) got guitars/bass from Nash as gifts.
