Uwe and Oliver...
Viel Glück mit der Jagd...!
Okay, so I have stated my case re "Doug "Piranha" Fyghter's (please don't nuke Luton; I know it's not the prettiest place in the UK , but...) imminent enhancement to his collection but seeing that beauty on Uwe's wall does turn my head, in a distinctly envious fashion...
Skynyrd...? Allen Collins used his Explorer for the UK '77 tour and Knebworth... I vaguely remember seeing Def Leppard supporting Sammy Hagar in '78 (ish) with an Explorer bass... certainly remember Neil Young with one in '82, but by then they were springing up all over the place...
