Steve: I don’t really know what that is, or what order it’s in. Host: Cool, let’s move on to Mark. Mark: Oh, Steve knows way more about this stuff than I do.
Always love how a lot of the guys who’ve made a real, lasting impression on rocknroll seemingly don’t know, or don’t really care that much about their gear.
Mudhoney is one of the best bands ever, thank you for posting this. One of my favorite memories is seeing them in Ballard at the Firehouse when I was a kid, my Dad dropped me off and I had to use the payphone to call him after the gig to come pick me up. Mark gave me a high five, which literally changed my life. Thank you Steve and Mark for inspiring me and countless others. Their guitar tone and playing is absolutely perfect.
Yes, they are. Hearing Superfuzz Bigmuff and Tad - God's Balls changed they way I listened to music, along swith Sub Pop sparking my interest in regional record labels@@clintwilson6380
I remember listening to Superfuzz Bigmuff when I was in high school and learning about fuzz pedals. So...Mudhoney is responsible for all of my terrible financial decisions since. Thanks a lot guys!
So happy for this rundown! For a while I was using a hollow body guitar with high amounts of fuzz and reverb because of Steve's sound. He's right it screams a bit but just enough to control and sound great in a mix
MH and Green River were the originals.I remember seeing them and Flipper long before Nirvana or any of the other NWest bands. The stock Filtertrons on Gretsch's,- especially semi hollows,- lend themselves to Fuzz and clipped sounds; they maintain articulation with added harmonic content. Good to see all the Catalinbread pedals designed by Howard G ; don't get why he'd use a EHX Muff when they make better Fuzzes, - as is the EQD Hoof.The CB Octopussy remains one of the best octave types out there.
Recently saw Mudhoney at the Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma as the first gig on their Plastic Eternity tour. Such a great band and killer vibe. Very humble too. Spoke with Steve about his book and Mark about “the freewheeling Mark Arm,” they graciously signed a couple 45’s. Really appreciate the music and energy. Travel safe and keep on rocking!
So absolutely happy to see this! Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jr made me buy a guitar literally, they don't get their fair shake. Go listen to their new album!!! Support these legends!!! And Buy Steve's Book he put out this year if you didn't know!!!
I don't listen to these guys much but there's a reason why Superfuzz Big Muff is one of the most iconic grunge albums of all time, Steve and Mark get such killer fuzz tones and also make me appreciate my own Big Muff (I have the Big Muff Pi which I bought back in 2016 at age 17 because my band at the time was covering "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins and I wanted to get that same sound (plus I always loved that tone in general because of guys like Billy Corgan, David Gilmour, Dan Auerbach and Jack White) as well as a Ram's Head Big Muff that I bought this past summer since I wanted a smaller fuzz pedal on my board (still attributed to David Gilmour because the fuzz tones he got on later albums like Animals, The Wall, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell as well as The Wall 1980-81 tour, Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse are all fucking insane and I live it)
From the sound of it he was using a V6 big muff during the earlier days which might be the most underrated big muff circuit. For another great example of how good they sound pre-Pink Boris albums for the most part are all the V6 muff judging from photos of Wata's pedalboards from that age (before the Elk Big Muff shows up in her rig).
I’m a little obsessed with single coil and humbucker type pickups in a hollow body. But also obsessed with martins. Anticipating I’ll be thinking that way for awhile.
0:15 What I would give to be a nihilistic high school freshman in 2003 and hear Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More for the first time again. I know, I got started on grunge late. I was into pop punk and then once I got to high school I found the real punks and they showed me what's up.
@@zdave6083 I'm a real punk, dude. Broken home, broken soul, broken dreams. I check all the boxes. Maybe you should hop on the Trutone Train while it's still punk before I inevitably sell out for the money I could never make while trying to placate some arbitrary ideals.
So great their stuff is basically just kluged together from whatever they can get for free, recycle, tuneup, buy off eBay, keep patching together... barely know what half of it is and yet they've created legendary music
Sometimes the algorithm wins. I've really been enjoying the flurry of videos and articles about Steve and Mudhoney this year. There's always a tension between being a band or musician who is always restless and curious about new sounds and styles and then also a band that stays true to what we love about them. I probably do not want to hear Mudhoney's flute record.
Ibanez soundtank pedals arent junk soncially. Some sound killer. The mods are all analog and solid, the echo machine fetches a very high price on the vintage market, the crunchy rhythm is an underrated jem waiting for rediscovery. The ts5 is still my favourite tube screamer to push a rat harder as the frequency boost is slightly lower than other screamers and teams well. The black noise is an awesome noise box. Most the gains are at least good sounding. But yeah, call them junk without ever actually playing one. It's not like that line od danelectro pedals you compare them to did have sone jems in it (best cheap univibe you can buy, tone machine clone that sounds great, a solid tremolo, a pt2395 delay that puts a lot delays 10 times the price to shame and that you can voltage sag to get 12 seconds of bit crushed nightmare delay out of).
I love that they are not too technical. Interesting to see they’re messing with stuff after so many years. Different strings and guitars, pedal boards etc Great band. Wonder if stone used that exact tube screamer on anything?
11:52 where the wah wah is twice as loud as everything else..... yeah last time I saw them it even drowned out everything including the drums. The songs without wah were great though.
They are a great band Indeed, they don' t act like they don' t know about gear, they really don' t have a clue about pedals brands and stuff like that!
Barer of bad news alert, sorry they were there 2 months ago, to the day. I just looked up dates for Mi ,can't believe I didn't hear of these dates. So bummed I missed them.

Hometown heroes for sure!
The Days!!!!
Dude, The Ballard Firehouse!! Man you just took me way back. Made my day!
I remember listening to Superfuzz Bigmuff when I was in high school and learning about fuzz pedals.
So...Mudhoney is responsible for all of my terrible financial decisions since. Thanks a lot guys!
These guys are just consumate pros. One if the best live band ive ever seen. Great vid to see.
Couldn't agree more!
Love these guys. And it goes to show that your gear and pedals and sound can evolve over time, and yet you can still sound like you.
So happy for this rundown! For a while I was using a hollow body guitar with high amounts of fuzz and reverb because of Steve's sound. He's right it screams a bit but just enough to control and sound great in a mix
Yeah Mudhoney! Amazing band, and Steve Turner is one of my favorite guitar players.
Hell yes! Thank you for catching up with these pioneers.
MH and Green River were the originals.I remember seeing them and Flipper long before Nirvana or any of the other NWest bands.

Been trying to get a Real Cool Fuzz for the last few years, thanks Steve for making it even harder
20:30 Love that Ibanez fuzz, sounds great!

This was a fun one! Thanks again to Chris "Always Prepared" Keys! Simple and effective setup(s)!
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG Mudhoney….finally!!!
So absolutely happy to see this! Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jr made me buy a guitar literally, they don't get their fair shake. Go listen to their new album!!! Support these legends!!! And Buy Steve's Book he put out this year if you didn't know!!!
Love mudhoney i saw them twice and got to meet them back in october when they played in Cleveland they were amazing and mark and steve are very nice
That screaming trees shirt😢❤ you are greatly missed Mark
Thank You !
Some of my absolute favorite guitar tones.
Awesome 👏 watched it twice already. Excellent vid!
Little bit of the intro to Revolution by Spacemen 3 which they've covered
I thought he was playing that!
Great video! Such legends. Just saw them live in Milwaukee in October. Sound as great today as they ever have.
Cannot wait to see the whole episode!
Cool down to earth guys. Thanks PG😎
So great to see these guys still around. Fakken ay, guys!
I love them. They're still just like "Yeah we love the Stooges. That's... yeah that's about it"
OMG. I want a super fuzz❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been looking for that sound forever!
great episode, thank you.
Love the Tym shoutout!
This was a good one! Merry Xmas yall!
Grew up worshipping Mudhoney. We got to open for them in n Minneapolis, and I was too intimidated to talk to them lol

Great video Mark and Steve are legends. Im reading Steve's book now which is a great read so far
Cool to see someone using those Gold Foil guitars!
I have never clicked on a video so quickly!!
These two guys are ridiculously humble I had a cassette with touch me I'm sick on it in 1992 that got threshed

Shout out Hank's Music Exchange! Great guy.
Saw them live at Key Arena (Seattle) in 2000 when they opened for Pearl Jam - loudest set I have ever heard. Wall of sound.

There are no real punks. Just posers.

One of the best or one of my favorites EPISODES :)
Hell yeah, Mudhoney rules!
Best band ever. Period.
Still one of the best live units you could ever hope to see. Mudhoney rules.
oh my, and a like wtf .. this is f*cking amazing :-)
thanks so much, love mudhoney, best band e v e r
These guys seem to be the same after all these years and it's great
Would love one of those Ibanez fuzz, sounds great
tone sounds awesome, even the cheapo ibanez rehoused pedal
Mark Arm is slowly turning into Lenny Kaye! (both legends)
It's amazing how Mark Arm can still scream sing at his age. That's usually the first thing to go for a rock vocalist.
i've almost seen this guys live like a dozen times but something always comes up or i just forget the day of the show

Nice to hear a real amp cranked and on the stage!
Amazing episode. Love Mudhoney (im a 90s kid) but pitty you missed bass
We barely got Mark and Steve due to time constraints… next time!
Absolute legends. No BS.
I love that they are not too technical. Interesting to see they’re messing with stuff after so many years. Different strings and guitars, pedal boards etc Great band. Wonder if stone used that exact tube screamer on anything?
I love mudhoney they rock long live grunge ❤
Mudhoney! ❤
Oh man, Fender should release that faux-silvertone as a signature model or something. Or maybe a Squier paranormal model inspired by it.
I love MudHoney! America's greatest Band!!
Absolute kings
legends!!
Mark arms pedal board is the business!!
Legends
Mudhoney rocks!
Hey my buddy Johnny makes Daredevil pedals! Awesome.
That Alice Cooper ''I'm Eighteen'' intro riff sounded pretty cool.
you can hear ron asheton big time in steve turners playing
Woohoo!!! Now we are talking : )
the SOUNDGARDEN T-shirt was the best thing in the video
11:52 where the wah wah is twice as loud as everything else..... yeah last time I saw them it even drowned out everything including the drums. The songs without wah were great though.
Mudhoney’s gear aesthetic impacted customer requests for instruments like the Fender Pawn Shop.
FINALLY!
They had a jazzmaster a few years back with a bigsby, limited run.
yeah Dunlap those guys! Steve Rules - Mudhoney so good
Woah that’s actually really hank from hanks music exchange used to produce records for my dads old band
Nice
Hank's shoutout!
are you talking about the Ibanez soundtank pedals i love those things
Ther is no bigger popularity to guitar skills ratio than this. LOve Mudhoney!!!
Steve is one of the nicest guys in rock
Great band, and remember, guys: don't text and drive, don't drink and drive! Be safe, stay alive!
He's a Finder dude, like me!
10:50 He needed someone to set that up for him? Ok, I guess lol
They are a great band Indeed, they don' t act like they don' t know about gear, they really don' t have a clue about pedals brands and stuff like that!
Ha I just saw that Carol Burnet episode too.
Me encanta, Mudhoney, Nirvana y dinosaur Jr por siempre...
Such humble rock stars.
I married my bigmuff
I want to hear about the weird tuner pedal they both have!
I love this band, they need to come to Ohio!
Barer of bad news alert, sorry they were there 2 months ago, to the day.
I just looked up dates for Mi ,can't believe I didn't hear of these dates. So bummed I missed them.
@@STRATMAN1969 🥲🥲🥲🥲
The first time I heard of these guys was from Black Sheep
I surely hope Mark didn't trip over that cable
Mark = Saúl Goodman + beetlejuice
I'm seriously a little confused by how great this one sounds. WTF?
