FLYING HIGH…
The evolution of Foo Fighters guitar tone in five classic tracks
I’ll Stick Around
(Foo Fighters, 1995)
Dave Grohl used a variety of Gibson electrics, most notably his mid-60s Gibson Trini Lopez, which has featured on all Foos albums, but also Les Paul Customs, too. Indeed, at the 1996 Phoenix Festival, I’ll Stick Around was performed on a black Custom LP. Either way, the recipe is to throttle the amplifier – a Marshall JCM900 preferably – don’t scoop the mids, and use heavy strings so you can hit those chords as hard as you can.
