    Sent to Destroy #16 w/Leah Shapiro and Peter Hayes

    Chris sits down with Leah Shapiro and Peter Hayes – two thirds of the rock trio Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. For those not already familiar with the band, BRMC has been cranking out dark, gritty, authentic rock and roll for over 20 years.  If you’re a fan of the band and you ever wanted to hang and really get to know the incredible musicians behind the music this is your day. It was a great conversation.

    WATCH The Songbook: Peter Hayes of BRMC on Gibson TV

    GuitarWorld reported that Gibson has launched Gibson TV, an online television network dedicated to guitars and music culture:

    Hosted on YouTube and featuring all-new series Gibson promises that it will break out of the gear demo, interview and behind-the-scenes content trifecta to offer guitarists something new.

    Those looking for something performance-based should check out The Songbook, which features stripped-down acoustic sets.

    Upon Gibson TV’s launch, The Songbook has performances from Samantha Fish, Peter Hayes of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Patrick Park (and his dog).

    Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club first picked up the guitar at the age of 14 when he began trying to figure out how to play his mother’s classical guitar. As he continued to play, his mother showed him flamenco and finger picking styles that had a strong influence on his playing and technique.

    Peter would eventually go on to play with The Brian Jonestown Massacre and eventually form Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with Robert Levon Been in 1998.

    In this episode of The Songbook, Peter stopped by to perform the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club song “Shuffle Your Feet.”

    Haunt

    Take yourself apart from me
    Down into a flame
    You’re everything one could keep
    You’re worn with every face

    Rapping like a scarecrow’s wings, you unwind
    I’m thrown to a seamless wave,
    And it’s written on a sea of love
    And It’s all I can leave you babe
    ‘Cos the world was never yours
    I just keep playing that restless haunt
    Nothing I can change

    Swallow what’s still brave in you
    Like metal in your jaw
    Trying not to melt away
    Beginning to unthaw

    Dead flag, ship of fools you command
    I’m trying not to wither away
    And I’m wondering if I’ll feel the grace
    I’m trying to unlove this world
    But it has no other place
    I just keep playing that empty hand
    Nothing I can cheat

    Can you touch
    Can you stay
    Would you weep, for the day
    You knew when your eyes closed
    But you knew when your eyes closed
    Can you want
    Can you stay
    Would you reach, around me

    Light another melody
    And drown into the sound
    I’ve buried every living thing
    Deeper than the ground
