Social Distortion's Ness Looks Back on Tour With Neil Young
. "It was a great experience," Ness said. "It was also a dues paying experience, because back then, even if we did have 500 fans there, which would have been large for that period of time, they were scattered because of this prearranged seating thing that our fans were not used to. Second of all, we were going on at eight, where most people were just finishing their dinner and figuring which off-ramp to get off at." Still, Ness says that he learned a lot on those tours: "I know we got some converts from that, but the main thing that I got out of that was that was the main period of time where I was going back and forth searching for my guitar tone, amps and all that. I really learned a lot from those guys � from Neil's guitar tech � as far as Fender amps, Gibson P-90 pickups and Les Paul Deluxes. And the other thing was, it was right when I was becoming very 'groove aware,' realizing that if a song doesn't have a groove, you're just bashing through chords. I would watch Crazy Horse basically turn their back on 10-to-15,000 people, face the drummer, get this groove and then come back out." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
