Bob Rock
Gibson Icon
“Being alone and listening to records and trying to figure out how to play the guitar,” rock explains int the new Gibson series. “It was a big thing for me as I realised...my sister was older than me and she went to the clubs, I’d go with her and the guys would let me in so I saw a lot of these blues bands. There were some amazing players and I got heavily into the Blues because of certain records that made such an impression on me.”
Bob Rock famously produced Metallica’s “Black” album. “I just came in to help them with a record. If we’re doing Led Zeppelin, that’d be a different story for me. I’d be so enamoured with them, I’m not sure I could do it. With Metallica, they were just guys to me. I didn’t cater to what they were. I catered to what they wanted to do. That’s ultimately what a producer is.” he said.
