Show Notes
In this episode of the Fingal’s Cave Podcast, Kyle Viveiros hosts a conversation with Jay Stapley, the lead guitarist of Roger Waters and The Bleeding Heart Band from 1985 to 1987.
Starting with Jay’s most recent projects & tours, the conversation moves from the origin point of his love for music and guitar playing, to the philosophical aspects of being a working guitarist in the increasingly digital age of the 1980s.
His recollections of meeting with Roger Waters in 1985, then working with him into 1987, are interwoven with personal insights on what playing guitar means to him, as well as reflections on having spent his life doing exactly what he wanted to do from the age of 15.
With stories ranging from his time working with nearly every Floyd Tribute band, to tales from The Bahamas in October of 1987, this episode is one not to miss. Not just for Roger Waters enthusiasts, but to learn from an industry professional about the art of creating, not recreating.
