Today we have for you a guitar pick from John Lodge and The Moody blues!
Here's a look at the front and the back of this guitar pick
The Moody Blues are widely recognized as pioneers of progressive rock, famously bridging the gap between 1960s pop and symphonic rock. While they began as a rhythm and blues act, they redefined their sound with the landmark 1967 album Days of Future Passed, which featured the London Festival Orchestra and the hauntingly beautiful hit "Nights in White Satin."
Central to their lush, atmospheric sound was their early use of the Mellotron, a keyboard that played tape loops of orchestral instruments, allowing them to recreate a grand, cinematic feel even during live performances. Over the decades, the band—led by core members like Justin Hayward and John Lodge—maintained a reputation for philosophical lyrics and intricate arrangements, earning them a permanent place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Here's what eBay had to say about this guitar pick
This collection is a remarkable physical record of rock history, featuring a diverse array of guitar picks gathered from some of the most legendary North American tours. Each piece represents a specific moment in time, coming directly from the hands of the most influential touring bands of the last 20 to 40 years. From the thrash metal precision of Megadeth to the grunge-era icons like Eddie Vedder, these picks are more than just gear—they are tangible artifacts from the high-energy arenas and stadiums that defined a generation of music.
The significance of these picks lies in their connection to the peak of live performance culture across the continent. Over the past four decades, touring reached a massive scale, and these picks were used by artists who headlined the most iconic festivals and venues in the world. Whether it's a specialty "Batmobile" design or a classic tour-stamped plectrum, having items from bands that shaped the sound of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s makes this a curated chronicle of modern rock’s touring legac. I'm putting this guitar pic together. Alphabetical order over the next few weeks and months.
