K.K. DOWNING Looks Back On Stealing A JIMI HENDRIX Fuzz Face Pedal On In The Trenches With RYAN ROXIE
August 15, 2021, 3 years ago
On the latest episode of In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie, during the section 'The One That Got Away', former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing tells Roxie of his piece of gear that went lost. As a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix, when he was very young he spotted a Fuzz Face pedal on the stage, exactly like the one he’d seen Jimi play a few weeks earlier at the Royal Albert Hall, and after the show was over and the band left the stage he stole it. Sensational turn of events: it didn't last very long as someone stole it from him as well!
Check out the clip below.
In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie is a podcast hosted by Alice Cooper guitarist Ryan Roxie. The show features in-depth conversations with the world's hardest working musicians and entertainers... the ones that grind, the ones that commit, the ones who make their dreams come true... in the trenches.
