What was one of the more challenging Foreigner songs to really get ahold of? "The answer is probably going to throw you a little bit. There are a couple that don't have prominent guitar. They're keyboard-featured songs. I had to come up with an arrangement on the guitar in the capacity of a keyboard-featured song. They are very intimidating because there's no guitar on the recording that I can hear. The approach I took with those is just to try to stay out of the way. I wanted to be colorful. I wanted to be accents. I wanted to be the things that you're not really paying attention to. I didn't want to take away from the keyboard orientation of those songs because they are so identifiable. The two that I am talking about in particular are 'I Want To Know What Love Is' and 'That Was Yesterday'. Those were very challenging songs to embrace on the guitar for the simple fact that there was no guitar prominent on those recordings." - Michael Staertow, guitarist for Lou Gramm --- From episode 18 of the Bands To Fans podcast  Comments are closed.
