Īnother guitar that stood out was his red Gibson Firebird Studio, often used live to play songs like "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph You)". His XL-5 was a uniquely shaped walnut-bodied electric with an aluminum-framed neck with wooden inserts. Reynolds played several guitars, including his 1980 Kramer XL-5, mostly used for performances between 19. Health Īt the beginning of the year 2020 Paul Reynolds suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital. In 2019, Reynolds reunited with his former music companions to record an album called Inflight (The Extended Essentials).
The album features the main songs from the band's career accompanied by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2018, Reynolds and the other original members of the band met with Mike Score to record a new album, the first with the complete classic line-up since 1984, entitled Ascension. Before the performance, Reynolds was interviewed about why he left the band he claimed that he was too young for the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" and that he was exhausted from all of the performances.
Reynolds and his fellow ex-members did, however, reunite with Score for a one-off performance in London in 2003 for VH1's Bands Reunited television program. When it was reformed in 1989 by singer Mike Score, Reynolds and the remaining members decided not to rejoin. Reynolds left the band in 1984, after the release of The Story of a Young Heart, two years before the band broke up. Reynolds, whose "textural wash" contributed significantly to the group's sound, was praised for his "echo-laden" "unique guitar style", which differentiated A Flock of Seagulls from other synth-heavy bands of the period. By the time he was 21, the band had released an album, won a Grammy Award, got two more hit singles, and had embarked on a worldwide tour. The group's popularity soared in the early 1980s with the release of " (It's Not Me) Talking," and in 1982 the song " I Ran (So Far Away)" was a hit in the US and at home. Then at the age of seventeen, he joined the new wave band A Flock of Seagulls, a few months after the band was formed, and came to replace the original guitarist Willie Woo. Paul briefly joined a local Liverpool band called Visual Aids. In his teens, Reynolds always enjoyed playing the guitar, but in his spare time he enjoyed writing, drawing and was also an amateur photographer. Paul Reynolds was born on 4 August 1962 in Liverpool. He is highly praised for having a unique guitar sound that differentiated his band from others of the time. Paul Reynolds (born 4 August 1962) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who gained worldwide fame as the lead guitarist of the new wave band A Flock of Seagulls.
