I just want to say that Ty Segall gave his guitar to some kid in the audience after his set at Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011.
He just said something like “somebody take my guitar, don’t even give it back to me” and took it off and straight up handed it to someone in the front of the stage.
Don’t know if he had been having irreparable, malfunctioning guitar trouble syndrome, wanted to make a random fan happy, just got a Fender endorsement, or what the story was, but it was the first time I’ve ever seen a musician just hand out the instrument they just unplugged and walk away.
And of course he was great live, too. Now I’ll just cross him off of the top of my list of favorites to see live the first chance I get.
I’m content for awhile after that and seeing Thee Oh Sees back to back.
But Hot Snakes are back together…
