Hey, quick question: What kind of strings do you use?

I'd bet you anything that he doesn't know.

Whatever his tech puts on there.

Hey Christine, sorry to bother you…
….but can I ask why the hell you and Lindsey didn’t just put the Buckingham McVie album out as a Fleetwood Mac album? In hindsight, don’t you feel frustrated you didn’t stand up to Stevie and go ahead and just do it?

Maybe a lame question and I’m sure it would have garnered a tame, diplomatic answer.

I can’t think of anything good at the moment, but one silly question I’ve always had for Christine: Why did you play a Roland EP-10 in the Rosebud soundstage songs (Go Your Own Way, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Rhiannon)? Was your tech testing the first all-electronic combo model for you to replace the Pianet? Why didn’t you try the latest in that line, the EP-30, which was at least touch-sensitive? And why did you go back to the Pianet for the next several years of touring? Think back and think hard, Chris. You probably don’t remember a damn thing about this, so make up a cool-sounding answer. The EP-10 has to be the tackiest low-tech thing you’ve ever played since becoming a multimillionaire.

Maybe the Pianet was in the shop? Plus, if she was substituting the Pianet, was touch sensitivity necessary?

OMG, Christine, what was the name of the cat you terrorized while screaming in your apartment when the Swedish DJ dumped you?

No--seriously...

Often it comes down to the reliability of the instrument. I supplied Fender Twin reissues for an artist for about 10 years. He used to request the original vintage amps, but eventually changed his tune to requesting the newer reissues. Because they were more reliable. There's nothing worse than your gear crapping out mid show.

Tobin Sprout’s Hiwatt died mid show (first night of a three show leg) and had to plug into a DI box. He bought a Blackstar the next day.
