The power of yellow. Photo: Michael Putland/Getty Images In 1976, nobody ascended to a sonic astral plane quite like Peter Frampton and his luscious locks: His live album, Frampton Comes Alive!, catapulted him from a respected rocker to a sex god among guitarists, with songs like “Show Me the Way,” “Do You Feel Like We Do,” and “Baby, I Love Your Way” becoming virtually inescapable from the airwaves unless you covered your ears.
With “Do You Feel,” I didn’t realize I was writing the best hangover song ever. That’s what I had when I wrote it! [Laughs.] That’s why the beginning is: “Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand / those are the good old bad days.” I’m now 18 years with no alcohol and I’m very proud of that. It’s one of those songs where it’s everybody’s song. They all sing it. It’s an “up” song. Most people know what I’m talking about with the hangover and full ashtray of dead cigarettes by the bed.
Talk-box song that gave you the most mouth discomfort It’s not that bad at all! I would say it’s pretty comfortable. [Laughs.] It might not look like it. I’m basically biting it with my teeth to close it down and open it up to get different sounds. The first song that we introduced it into before anything was recorded was “Do You Feel.” I had not done the Frampton album [1975] at that point, which I used on “Show Me the Way.” I remember the first time using it during a performance.
Most melodic guitar solo Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s the solo from “Lines on My Face.” It’s such a powerful number and such a big part of me. That one is always different every night. I never play the same thing twice and never wish to, but that one is something I always feel I do a pretty good job on every night. The song has been with me so long. There has to be a reason for why I wanna do it every night and I don’t know what it is.
He was better on the Humble Pie Live album.
Fun fact: Steve Marriott tried to add Peter Frampton to the Small Faces lineup, rest of the band said no, Marriott and Frampton formed Humble Pie instead.
Surprisingly good
