We need more guitar collection videos
i dont think the man can fit more guitars in that room haha
I woul like to see Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds guitar collection
I’m going to be starting a new guitar review channel very soon . I will be featuring Ibanez, Jackson, Kramer and possibly a few others. Stay tuned 😊
@@GeorgeBonezhave you started this channel yet?
What an awesome dude and amazing musician! Im so glad he's in The Black Dahlia Murder!! ❤
Brandon seems like one of the most level headed guys in the industry, just seems like a top bloke who would join you at the pub
And he has or did have a Porsche 944. My guy has good taste galore
Can confirm - after seeing TBDM the other night, after the set he hung out having a beer and chatting with the shredder dudes who made a bee line for him to talk guitar. A gracious, chill dude who can play guitar like a motherfucker
I would definitely consider myself a boring traditionalist with guitar designs, but that gold crackle is ridiculously cool. Excited to see it up on stage Saturday night
I’ll be there Saturday too. The anticipation for this show has been driving me crazy. This’ll be my 9th time seeing them over the years!
@@metalgetsmehigh Hell yeah! I think this will be number six for me
@@metalgetsmehigh Checking back in, that was an awesome fuckin show from top to bottom, though I was *SUPER* bummed that Phobophilic had to drop
@@Drforrester31 Agreed, it was a great package. I was bummed about Phobophilic as well, luckily I had seen them in December so it stung a bit less.
His new Jackson custom is amazing......I really hope they do a similar signature model of it for us normal people.
imagine how expensive itll be :(
For real. I have his green crackle and as soon as I saw the new gold I was like whelp “guess I gotta save up again” lol
Shut up and take my money
I cannot seem to find a picture of it
"normal people"
I realized that all guitars in his collection are so clean and looks cool. He also knows how to collect guitars. He deserves a lot of respect. And his playing… words are not enough to describe… Well done Brandon 🎉
He does work on his guitars HIMSELF? like us peasants? That's so COOL
Gotta remember that EVH also did the same thing!!
I do as much of my own guitar work as i can so i know its set up exactly how i want it. I've been so disappointed everytime i paid a professional to set my guitar up. Their idea of playing great can be completely different than what you prefer. My dad used to take his guitar back into his tech several times until he got it just right. And that tech said he liked working on my dads gear because he had to try harder to nail a certain feel, when most customers had no clue and took it home first time happily.
You scallop your own fretboards? I don't imagine that's easy work.
@@NinjaRunningWild Scallops are overrated, but if I were to scallop a fretboard I would practice it on a cheap guitar before digging into something I'd actually play. Even Yngwie recommends this in his old instructional vid. Yngwie scalloped his own when he was starting out. Seems like these days people are afraid to work on guitars and experiment... Hell, EVH was not only crazy enough to fully customize his guitars, but also screw around with amplifier electronics, which isn't a safe thing to do...
Ellis is a true G. Kid does it all ❤
His Jackson is probably the only Kelly body style I’d own. I love love love his finishes and the specs he demands. And the fact that he works on his guitars HIMSELF makes being a fan of his that much better!
The Jeff Loomis Kelly is sweet, but very expensive.
I completely agree, they're awesome
16 Minutes of ahhhhhh , ohhhhhhh , mhhhhhhh !!! Impressive Collection in the right hands !!!
Yesterday I was literally thinking he should do a collection video and here I’m blessed with this today!
Is anyone else pumped for a possible new album!?
i can't wait to see what Brian has to offer as a lead vocalist instead of a backing vocalist. i've watched a few videos of him singing live and holy damn -- i'm sure Trevor is proud of him.
with Knight back in the band, i suspect that the possible new record will have a bit of older BDM writing mixed in with the (really solid) newer stuff.
3:13 holy shit in my 20 years of playing I had no idea the sustainer could be played WITHOUT being plugged into an amp!!!!!!
Haha, me neither. I know what I'm doing on my next visit to the guitar shop!
Gibson MIII, Yamaha Blues Saraceno, Hamer Scarab and all the crackle Jacksons and Vesters - Brandon is a true shredder guitar connoisseur. Love all the DIY stuff too.
Blues Saraceno is a name I haven't heard in years. I thought the same when I saw those pole pieces. I always wanted one of those yamaha sigs
Thanks Metal Injection for reminding me which band Brandon Ellis plays with again.
Brandon is the perfect definition of a modern metal musician.
Brandon walking into a guitar shop: "Do you have anything in crackle?" 😂
I see Brandon I hit like. Dude is an amazing player.
This dude deserves in fortune that comes his way, and I hope it’s a lot!
What a cool tour, he knows his guitars like old friends, each one comes with endless stories and nostalgia. I love the fact that he works on his own guitars and does some amazing mods most guys would never consider. I don't know a lot about Jackson guitars, but I do have a Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX on my wish list, with through neck design and so many nice parts it will make a nice addition to my tiny collection. great to see someone so passionate about guitars!
Super rad collection. I love that Brandon unapologetically is this into the shred guitars. Although I own four or five total “blues lawyer” guitars and love them, my heart is with 80s inspired shred guitars and I feel they don’t get enough love these days. Glad to see someone nerding out this hard on these guitars for a change versus a bunch of djent or vintage guitars.
100% man. Right there with you. I have two old 80s Hamers, two 80's ESPs, 80's Vester! Always collecting more! 🤘
Finally ! That's the video was expecting for years! Thank you guys! You're great!!
so glad you took us through your collection! always wanted to see :) thanks Brandon.
He’s not the guitarists that we asked for… he’s the guitarists that we needed 🤘🏻
He seems like such a cool and down to earth dude. I'd love to hang out in his guitar dungeon for an afternoon
I swear Brandon has the best taste in axes! #ItsInMyBlood
Holy crap, as a metal kid of the 80s this is a collection of the guitars I used to dream about. Super impressed with the HM strats and M3.
WOW, what an incredible collection! I had my 1992 Jackson USA Soloist stolen out of my home several years ago. I absolutely LOVED that guitar. No matter how aggressively I played that guitar it just always played like silk, so it truly helped me take my playing to a whole other level. I had saved for years to afford that guitar, and unfortunately because of the cost, I was never able to replace it. All these years later I'm still heartbroken over losing it. They took my Jackson, my 50W Marshall JCM800 head, my TV and my stereo. The only thing they left of my gear was my Marshal slant front cabinet, which I subsequently sold in order to purchase a cheap guitar and practice amp. I haven't been in a band since. I still wake up some morning just crushed over losing the Jackson and the Marshall. The rest of the stuff I couldn't care less about, but to me those two pieces were irreplaceable. Of course life and kids took priority, so when they stole my stuff that day, I lost a huge chunk of who I was. Boo Hoo, right?
I love that Brandon is a hands on diy type of guy!!! Obviously he knows the instrument inside and out in every way. Really rekindled my love of crackle and Kelly guitars! Great video!
Love the music and now come to find out he’s a fellow 944 owner!
Dude, I posted like ten seconds in. Wow! What an amazing collection. Very nice
Much respect! Thanks for sharing Brandon!!
First Deserve then desire. Well deserved
Oh man this is so cool! I had the LAG Arkane 200 which ripped
Thank you Metal Injection for covering one of my all time favorite bands!
this is awesome! Please please do more of these!
Man, what a pro and how down to earth. Love seeing someone be so knowledgable AND a great player.
Really cool seeing all of Brandon’s guitars!!! Out of dumb luck, I stumbled upon BDM playing Tap Tap Revenge on my phone back in the day, tapping away to Necropolis. Brandon is such a good dude and one heck of a guitarist!
I've been waiting for this video for years!
Man it’s so nice to see a guitar collection so similar to my own. I get so tired of seeing 60 different Les Pauls and 300 Fenders.
I’m primarily an Ibanez guy but I have my fair share of Jackson’s and Kramer.
Great collection and thanks for showing us around.
Different strokes for different folks! If i were to have a collection, it will have different shapes, not so much into brand loyalty.
@@TheSunMoon I guess I have a little brand loyalty but like you I’m more into different shapes colors styles etc. Although I mostly play big hair shredder style music I recently bought a couple of hollow bodies. They are a really fun to play. I don’t really have anything against Fender & Gibson. It’s just that those kind of collections dominate TH-cam. It’s really nice to see a more diverse collection like yours.
@@GeorgeBonez agreed! Rock on!
Out of all of them guitars I want the Fender Strat the most. It’s stunning. I would love to own a Fender Telecaster more than any other guitar though but that will Neville lots of saving. One day though.
This video is a dream come true! I've been following Brandon since about 2016 when he would post these short but incredible shred clips. Even back then I thought this dude had incredible taste, I love all the 80's shredders he has. He would have a different one in every clip!
What a cool collection! Thks for sharing this with us!
Now let's see that amp collection. 😎
Sickest guitar collection in the metal game by far. And one of the best players
He deserves all these and more honestly. He’s the best guitar around right now
I mean...lets be humble here haha. theres a lot of axe wielders out there.
his color variation is amazing, reminds me of dimebags collection
Such a cool guy. There is literally not one guitar I would want to own in this collection but I avidly watched all of this. It's cool to see somebody with a different taste than the ordinary.
The Blues Saraceno is extremely cool. I haven't seen one of those in a long time.
LOVE Aria as a brand. Some of the hottest humbuckers I've ever played. Rock on Brandon. Great collection!
I’m gonna go out on a limb & say he deserves/earned every one of those guitars! 🤘❤️
I was happy to see that he has more guitars than I do. Then I realized that he’s a professional guitar player and I’m just a guy who does something else for a living.
The logo matching the paint job is really cool.
Also, I couldn’t see the Porche sticker he pointed out
Brandon is one of the best guitarist out there today! Such a sick tone! Keep on ripping brother!
Gotta love the Spinal Tap moment with the Sustainer. "You hear that? Just, rings out forever."
More videos like this please! That was awesome! 🤘🤘
I swear. If you took a shot every time he said the word “crackle”. You’d be high-fiving Jesus in the morning 🤣
I love how he is his own guitar tech, whenever he wants something done he does it himself
Love how excited he is about guitar. Dude is dope
great collection and great work! congrats and thanks!
Beautiful collection!
His gold crackle is on another level, it's completely over-the-top and somehow tasteful at the same time. Killer collection and what a great player, thanks for sharing
That Guild is SO sick!! Great collection, bro... cheers!!
Y’all need to do more of these!
Such a chill dude.
Awesome player and collection. My favorite- the Greco LP copy. Absolutely perfect
I remember seeing TBDM for the Unhallowed Resurrection Tour which was the first tour Brandon was on and he was sick, saw them a couple weeks ago again and it's dope seeing TBDM still killing it.
Awesome collection dude!!!!!
That latest signature gold is just sick.Blues Saraceno plaid guitar rare collection there.I really like that he kept the room really neat,respect 👍
I heard about hantug tremolos from talking with Brandon on patreon last year. I have them on my USA Dimebag guitars now. Brandon is awesome, super humble and one of the best guitarists we have alive right now.
That Titanium Han Taug tremolo on the snakeskin Kelly is wicked. I do love a Kelly with a reverse headstock. Cool collection for sure!
Met Brandon yesterday at the Canadian leg of the black dahlia tour. Coolest guy ever 🤘
Absolutely amazing player. Had a pretty gnarly Amp collection too from what I’ve seen in his videos.
Lag, Peavey, Yamaha, Vester, and Aria guitars. Mr. Ellis clearly you are a man of culture.
Holy fxk yeah brando! As a Patreon sub u have no idea how much I needed this 😊
Jackson/Charvel , no other makes can even come close to their superior badassness
Thanks for the video!
Reminds me of my guitar collection LoL, crazy colors galore. Love it. 🤘🏽
Can’t wait to see some of these guitars in a week and 4 days!
These are the kinds of guitars I grew up with. And a few more pointy guitars. Yeah, I’m old AF. Just glad to see the younger generation appreciate these type of guitars and keeping music heavy. I salute you 🤘🏻
Hey Brandon (since you seem to read these comments), do you still have any of your Caparisons? Weren’t those your favorites once upon a time?
I do not. I liked those guitars, but I never found "my" caparison. I talked to them about an endorsement once aeons ago when I was playing a Dark Night TAT... they were basically unwilling to do anything for me and I moved on.
Pretty much his whole collection lol…that’s the most insane ax collection and it fits because Brando is simple one of the best shredders in metal period
Awesome collection! I was able to see that gold Kelly in action last Friday in Dallas 🤩 y’all killed it btw!
Man I was stoked when you got to the Greco and the Burnie...I've played both similar coming thru the shop I worked at!
Love the tight green crackle jack and the teal Strat jackson too! What an interesting collection you have! This is just rad!
You are a huge inspiration Brandon. Rock on buddy 🤘🤘
That crackle ESP Mirage is my favorite of the entire bunch! Incredible collecion!
Killer collection. Love the old Japanese stuff. Those Aria Pros were the jam back in the day.
Killer collection, cool to see a few strats and LPs in there as well, always need a few classics.
This dude is so down to earth... I mean he's one of the best our there and he's so humble! CheerS!
Incredible collection! The Blues Sarraceno Yamaha exploded my head bro!
Clearly, to be successful in music, for the long haul, you gotta be obsessed. Never stop practicing, and stay enthralled.
Got pretty puped when he showed off the greco les paul, and burny les paul. i have a triple pickup black beauty burny, a greco 335 copy, and greco thunderbird. all awesome instruments and have impressed anyone who has played them. He is a man of fine taste
Brandon is the man!
New appreciation for the Crackle!!! So cool that you really do it all in your guitars as well. If i practiced as much as i tinker on my guitar, i might be able to actually play it.
Brandon's awesome - love he fact he works on his own stuff too , nice
Really fn' cool collection. This dude has class and taste.
The nicest collection I've seen ...!!! Love to see some Aria Pro II's !! I love these old japanese guitars!
man oh man what a load of awesome guitars 😍
+1 for not playing annoying background music during the video!
sick collection, cool dude....awesome vid, cheers!
Hell yeah, my first crackle is the same Vester Rainbow. My coolest crackle being my 1988 Lawsuit ESP M-1 Custom in Red and Black. Great collection Brandon has!
Man what an incredible collection. I would kill to be able to go in that room and just pic one to keep.
