"Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it."
Reeves Gabrels, a Grammy-nominated guitarist/songwriter/producer best known for both his work with David Bowie and his aggressive guitar style that combines the visceral energy of rock, the harmonic sophistication of jazz, the emotional honesty of blues and country, and an ear for the unusual. A furious cut-and-paster in the studio and an evil genius of atonal improvisation on stage Gabrels explores sonic extremes with a great, adaptive intuition for what each song needs most. He shows that his limitless technical and compositional skills can still shine without restraint.
Guitar Player's Editor In Chief, Michael Molenda says. "Gabrels is one of those guitar players that, quite simply, redefine guitar craft a bona fide 21st-century guitar god who deserves massive amounts of Justin Timberlake-style fame."
He will go down as one of the true originals in the guitar-hero pantheon, even as his fusion of fretwork and computer processing questions and redefines that instrument's very place in the rock canon. Among those who know him at all, he is either loved or hated but never ignored; this alone guarantees his staying power. You'll be hearing a lot more from him -- whether or not you know it's him you're hearing.
Reeves has also contributed music for film work by famed director David Lynch, and other bands and artists such as The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Brian Eno, Ozzy Osbourne, The Rolling Stones, Public Enemy and Natalie Imbruglia
Hi Sir, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the add. I'm glad to be the first one to "demand" a concert in Mexico City, I hope it comes true soon. Thanks for FUZZZZZZZ my times.
Hi Mr. Gabrels, the clean sound on One Shot by Tin Machine still haunts me after all these years. It's quite excellent imo, as are all of your tones. Could you please tell me what you used to achieve that fabulous shimmery tone?
Hi Reeves! Thanks a lot for the ad! I will always remember bumping into you, a few years back, at Jimmy Sloan's recording studio, and this nice discussion...know what? Taratata is back on air, so you should come and play in that show again, quick! ;) for our delight...Thank you for exploring the universe of sounds the way you do and bringing to us these samples from outer space - like Ulysses from his odyssey...

You guys rocked our favorite ex-laundromat tonight. I will have nightmares about Lucifer, speaking to me through that odd little device you always keep at your right hand side.
Hello Reeves Best wishes from the chilly, yet hopeful North of England. Your wonderful playing & music is a continued inspiration. I wonder if all friends are imagined? Paul
