Ep. 59 - Max Loebman & Dmitri Panoutsos from Rookie
This episode is a complete delight, featuring our first multi-remote-guest recording with our newest guitarbuddies Max and Dmitri from Rookie. We get into some deep Rookie talk, including forming out of Yoko and the Onos, their gear journeys (namely the importance of the Vox AC30, touring with a Rhodes and Hammond, and treble boosters) songwriting in a 6 piece band, touring with Cheap Trick, splitting guitar duties, and working through the quarantine. Your buds also discuss the controversial practice of putting stickers on guitars, swapping pickups in a cheap axe, Motown and Jamerson, Run the Jewels, politics in the gear world via Fulltone and Keeley, the Light 4 Sound oPik pickup, Squier Paranormal Series, a whole mess of Terry Kath talk, and even have a brief check-in with Neil Young(ish). Dave and Hank got the script flipped and had some questions asked of them this time, hoo buddy! Rookie’s debut self-titled full length LP on Bloodshot records is available everywhere, an absolute must-listen for fans of the rock and the roll. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
