“It was a half-hearted effort. I knew he would clock it”: Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett once tried (and failed) to trick Joe Bonamassa into believing he had bought a genuine ’59 Les Paul Burst

Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett’s new EP, Starry Nights & Campfire Lights, features his own rendition of Thin Lizzy’s Cowboy Song and Hanoi Rocks’ Don’t You Ever Leave Me.
