I am meant to be submitting the interview to their website at some point (http://www.starcastlemusic.com/) Hagler used a Gibson Firebird for the the first album (Lady of the Lake). I still need to finish transcribing the interview for submission.



What ever happened to this interview? Did Hagler talk about the lyrics much? When I met that band after a performance in 1976, I asked about the lyrics and if memory serves me correctly, he wrote most of them. By the way, I agree with what people are saying about the delicate duo-lead guitar passages on the first album especially-- intricate harmonies and totally unique in the rock field.
