Twin brothers Matthew and Gunnar Nelson released their debut albumon June 26, 1990. One day before the official anniversary date, the duo turned back the clock and tuned their guitars to play their biggest hits.
"I promise you, we still rock now. We're going to prove it!" Gunnar directly responded to a fan who commented on the livestream that"you guys rocked in the '80s." The two still sport longer blond hair, but nowhere near the length both 'dos once were at the height of the twins' career.No. 1 and debut single" Love and Affection," and title track"After the Rain" for the half-hour set.
Performing in their purple-lit recording studio, Nelson teased what they've been recently mixing in there -- a project titled First Born Sons.
"People think that this was actually played on, like, a 12-string; it actually wasn't," Gunnar said, demystifying the performance technique."We talked to our friends in theand Crosby, Stills & Nash, and they used to cheat a lot in a great way when they were making their records. One guitar was in Nashville tuning, which is a high-strung guitar, and someone would play that guitar in a different position. Then the second guitar, which was tuned down lower.
