TOPIC: Rollum on the Gee-Tar
Posted  Wednesday, April 16, 2003 at 11:36 AM
Post 1 of 18
So, there's several pics of Rollum with a guitar in the new photos section (live in the studio pt 2) of the awesome new website. While in most of them he's obviously clowning around, there's some where it actually looks like he's laying down some guitar tracks. Will he be lending his guitar skillz to the forthcoming album? Has he done so in the past? Or I'm I just a complete gullible moron?

Also, he appears to be doing backing vocals in some shots. Am I right?

Speaking of pics, we need more Parrish.

There are too many pics of Rollum with guitar. I meant to weed those out before the site went live but lots of stuff came up. He does not play any guitar on demo/studio tracks. Where you see him with the guitar in front of a mic (clowning or not) was simply a way for him to sing backing vocals. He seemed to be more comfortable playing the guitar part while singing. And, as it's obvious now, Rollum does lend backing vocals to several of the demo tracks, and I would expect him to do so for the full-length.

Sorry for the confusion there Carl!

Oh yes, more Parrish pictures would be nice, but when these were taken I was around Rollum more so than the others so he wound up in front of the camera more.

however, he is actually a very good guitar player. i wouldn't be suprised if there were a rollum haas solo album in the distant future.
You know you have problems, with both money and alcohol, when you find yourself shoving beers down your pants outside a Features show.

A great mystery has been solved! Somehow, a picture of Rollum using the red "Bat-Phone" has slipped into public view. This conclusive evidence, found on the "In The Studio 2" photos page, shows that Rollum Haas is indeed "Robin, the Boy Wonder".

Secondly, I desperately want the Chesterfield cigarette poster on that photo page. It is fucking cool. I have an old pack of Chesterfields that I proudly display on my shelf.

Is that Pelham's bottle of Courversier(?) in the Exit/In photos? Maybe he has been hanging out with Jay-Z. huh.gif

Can he play the bagpipes? 'Cause that could be very amusing to watch.

I heard he could tear up Ravi Shankar on the sitar.
