Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. is a dual-guitar ensemble featuring Carlos O’Connell and Conor Curley. At first, the duo used similar guitars, amps, and settings in an effort to work as a symbiotic saw buzzing their way through songs. The indistinguishable incisions lacerated their earliest work with angsty piss and vinegar. But as the quintet’s musicianship has evolved, they’ve embraced wider influences, adding different knives to their collection of cutlery. And more specifically, they’ve learned when to slice, when to dice, and how to work off each other.
“I think we’re trying to be more patient and more conscious of the texture,” Curley told PG in 2022, describing how he and O’Connell have worked together to refine their sound. “The first album was very much in a fighting mode,” he continues, “with the two guitars EQ’d the same and just smashing off each other. On the second one, we learned to play together a little better. We’re still working on it, and sometimes we still try to become as one almost, when the song needs it, but I think now we’ve learned to fit in with how we’re EQing everything. It feels really good.”
Ahead of their opening slot priming crowds for the Arctic Monkeys, O’Connell and Curley invited PG’s Chris Kies onstage at the Ascend Amphitheater in downtown Nashville. Carlos covered his favored Fender solidbodies, while Conor showed off his eclectic hollowbodies, and they both walked through their respective pedalboards.

Carlos is dressed like he's auditioning for 3 different nu-metal bands after the interview.
I wouldn't goto walmart looking like that
Chris looks like Ricky from trailer park boys
He looks cool af
He sounds like shit too
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reading the comments from the trolls, who love to bash any modern creative thing is both the most entertaining and depressing thing about these videos. This band has put out back to back fantastic albums, and they’re really good live as well, and the songs are crafty as hell, but watching the old folks scream that rock ‘n’ roll is dead because it doesn’t sound like the thing they like just kills me. And I’m old.
this.
The same dudes that think Zeppelin is the pinnacle of rock and roll, but won’t acknowledge how much Zep ripped everyone else.
100%. They are the same people who claim to champion guitar music but at the same time are terrified of anyone doing anything new.
@@sweezlesqueeman I feel the same. You get it. Cheers
Guys, are you familiar with the band The Fall?
Thanks for doing this! As a gear nerd and massive Fontaines D.C. fan, this means a lot to me. Their guitar tones are truly unique and interesting
Rock on!
I love how excited Carlos seems about the songwriting process and his use of effects.
Fontaines is one of the best new bands around! Very interesting discussion with the guys, love seeing the gear!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Carlos just got done time traveling from the late 90s
really enjoy Carlos perspective
Man, Curley has epic taste in guitars and gear. Could listen to that guy talk about gear all day.
Chris is a national treasure, I've gotten into quite a bit of non-traditional music with the rig rundowns he pursues
VERY cool! One of my fav newer bands.
These guys are super humble, great interview.
Great Rundown - I really dig hearing Carlos discuss his approach.
🖤 Fontaines!
Thank you for this! Love Fontaines!
Love Fontaines D.C. I am stoked to watch this rig rundown. Inspiring.
Great video, Gillaband just started an American tour would be amazing to see their gear rundowns!
Camera guy thanks for actually showing the pedal board..
Amazing band, amazing video!
yeaahhhhhhh, ve been wanting this video for so long
Great piece I enjoyed that and love the sounds and how they both think outside the box
The lads come across really well. Super band
Amazing!!!!
my favorite band for a long time so thanks for this post. i find the framus extraordinary, should be an old one made in germany
Been waiting for this for too long 😮
Fucking loved this video, carlos has the most interesting guitar arrangements live imo, so it's so awesome to see his rig
Fontaines D.C. are THE next and biggest band to come out of Ireland. I wish those lads success on the next album!
They've been around years. Anyway, they seem like nice guys, I like the music but don't like the vocals much and can't seem to get past that.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 Well to each their own. I personally don't like the Arctic Monkeys because of the vocals. Everyone has their preferences
@bayekkenway7514 indeed. I still have plenty of respect for them though.
They are certainly one of the bands from Ireland
This is great. Reverb before drive, trem square wave maxxed out, killswitches. Love it. Well done rig rundown. I actually bought the same Moose electronics reverb from Dublin because of these guys. And just like Carlos says…it crashes like crazy. Excellent.
Reverb and delay before drive was often used in shoegaze music, it's pretty cool because you essentially distort the delay and reverb because you're feeding it into distortion. More people should try it. I like tremolo before drives too!
Thank you!!
@@MooseElectronics The man behind the pedal. Thanks Moose. Great pedal.
i've come back to this five times in the past month, these guys are at the most interesting edge of guitar tone right now imo
Facts this is the video that made me finally organize my pedalboard
Gracias!
Been hoping for this video for ages, thanks a lot premier guitar, its like Christmas
Ho ho ho!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!! DO shame NEXT!!!!!!
Did exactly the same to my Johnny Marr jag for the same reason! Also mine is about as battered as his too
I love the music these guys make and really appreciate the rig rundown. Keep on keeping on.
Very interesting to hear Carlos approaching guitar sounds as if his guitar is part of the drum kit
Y'ALL MADE MY DAY. BEST FUCKIN BAND TO COME OUT IN AGES.
Check out 'i love you' from this year's Glastonbury. Although it speeds up from the rhe studio version it's still pretty powerful. Good band and BJM and black angels some pretty good influences
Fontaines DC are incredible. thanks for this.
Someone’s gonna look back in 5-10-20 years and be like “WTF was I wearing”
This is gonna be a great RIG (rundown)
I love the natural road ware on that American Vintage 61. I want to get one in Fiesta Red if I can find one around 7.5 lbs and without QC issues that seem to plaque these guitars.
Fucken love these guys.
Hopefully the Fontaines buddies Gilla Band will get a Premiere Guitar Rig Rundown in the not too distant future🤘
.
Absolutely loved this one, I’m excited for what you guys have next, I gotta recommend another Greta Van Fleet rig rundown! In terms of what they’ve changed just from their last tour is definitely something worth checking out. Keep it up y’all!
How did Curlys dry loop work ? Only got one amp but effectively got a wet/dry sound with the clean coming through? Someone pls explain
I believe he is putting the fuzz “in parallel” with his main board, so you have the dry alongside the fuzz. In a conventional board, the fuzz comes at the start of a “series” of pedals, losing the definition of the dry signal. Many devices are available to do this. I have a GigRig Wetter Box to experiment with the parallel method.
Thorpy trem sounded great
GREAT BAND
Oliver is incredible
Do an episode with inhaler, they're a very good band and i think they have good gear
Ping is from the top loading bridge?….
ah ah I remember the coronado in the Some Neck shop in Dublin, I asked the price and told the guy, "give me a day or two to think about it" and bang this guy bought it !!! LOL it is in very good hands !!
I know moose! He builds pedals for my friend!
I wish I had the money for any of this I’m stuck with a 45$ Strat copy
Please tell me you did Arctic Monkeys Rig Rundown while you were there!!!
0:23 Is that Head from KoRn?
Carlos needs a diamond tremolo. Tap tempo, kill switch and more.. the plus most important thing a volume knob! i hate shite tremolos that drop volume when you engage.
Mine has a volume knob.. 😊
How do you wear those pants without them getting filthy and frayed?
"Like, you know"
Shout out for spaceman 3, who new?
oh sickkkksksks
No Bass rig rundown? His pedalboard is literally RIGHT THERE in the opening playing segment. C'mon.
Probably because Chilli Jesson was standing in for Deego, who wasn’t able to join them on tour this time.
@@racheltildeannethat was really unlucky. Carlos mentioned in another interview that Deego’s pedalboard is really interesting. Maybe the next time?
6:42 this one pings to 11
Very cool. But how could the Johnny Marr Jaguar not have enough “ping”? It has 2 high-pass filters! 😂
Love these guys’ music.
This is the Fontaines man, Fontaines DC. ( respect n'all to the Godfather )
Carlos O'Connell sounding exactly like you would think someone named that would sound lol
an incredibly humble person who has no problem giving his time .
Weird just lined up Elliot Smith to play Figure 8 ✨
😢 fender wont return my demos
JNCO?
Mustang? or Duo Sonic? 🤔
i didn’t know jonathan byers was in a band
He's not! It's a bad comedy routine!
Hope this means we get an Arctic Monkeys rig rundown
Some commenters missed the memo that you don’t have to be a virtuoso to play the right parts that compliment the music.
Yeah. They suck tho
Seriously. This was like finding 2 kids who started playing guitar a few months ago and just doing a show on them. But if they keep coming up with stuff people like then more power to them.
Opening g ripp sounds like new metal
did you get to do one with the monkeys?
They unfortunately passed.
Love how creative carlos is
👍🏿🤘
arent mustangs supposed to have 22 frets?
I think this is a 22.5" scale length Mustang.
And the bass Player ??
Tommy Schlug wants his shoes back #1 & if this lovely lad played the producers Fender Mustang on most of an album & then bought a..... Fender Mustang how was he confused by it's size when he got it. He played a Mustang, liked it, bought a Mustang, now it's really small??? Confused.
The Mustang he played in the studio was 24” scale, this one is 21.5” (limited numbers left Fullerton in the 60s with that scale length).
@@premierguitar excellent, an actual interesting answer. Appreciate ye.
Now this is the non boring band! Use analog pedals, amps and crazy obscure guitars
Some of the sad negative comments, so what, it isn’t your sound move on and go back to SRV or John Mayer or whoever you w**k over in your parents basement. Some guitars don’t have to be ‘technically’ amazing to be good, some guitarist play for the song. A lot of the parts Carlos plays in this are from their songs and sound odd out of context and to those uneducated I’m their music understandably nothing special. Take a moment to listen to their music and it all comes together and works, I defy anyone not to listen to Jackie Down The Line and like it, indie alt rock might not be everyone’s thing but neither is seeing fast you can pick.
*not like it!
Exactly. You don’t have to be technically proficient to be musically interesting. I wouldn’t open the curtains if John Mayer was playing outside my window.
anyone know the riff at 14:21? the chord progression is so sick
That’s his verse part from Big Shot
Lookin and sounding cool as fuck
where is the bass ....
What about Bass!!?
One of the best guitar bands currently out there, them and Viagra Boys just have that spirit thats been present in all the best rock and roll
😂
Y'all need to do a Rig Rundown with Dany and Ale from The Warning.
That's a very smart way Carlos labelled his Flanger pedal for sittings.
We need a Blink 182 Rig Rundown
You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that, do you? On a weekday?
so?
Terrible tone imo
They're clearly a terrible band as they didn't play any fast pentatonic licks. I'm outraged 😂
Clearly they're no Joe Bonamassa 😴
WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?
YEAH complete garbage!
Yaaaa I was thinking he was trolling premier guitar with that “playing”?
Here we go again - Like Like Like Like , couldn't watch it.
The best band with the worse dress sense!
What garbage tone. Out of tune, hitting wrong notes, and just noise.
Pretentious
The one single thing I admire about Fountaines DC is that they have no impostor syndrome whatsoever. The fact that they even signed off this rig rundown for the world to see it, is astonishing . Absolute amateur level of musicianship.
We found the pretentious music fan
@@JADBeats if there's anything pretentious, it's these fontaines douchebag cunts
Plays like a 13 yo beginner
Jesus...
Nothing wrong with their playing, perfect for their music. Do you want more boring cliche blues links?
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55perfect for them and their fans, like you. But on a public platform like TH-cam, everyone is entitled to comment and on rig rundown. To me they sound absolutely terrible, I’m only at Carlos. But good luck to them. From a fellow Irishman. Guitar gear wasting on them. He should only have a squier. Rory Gallagher signature guitar, fckin criminal
@@pmck3438 jealous
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55typical reply. Your a fan I get it. The use of effects just covers up all the bad playing. They are terrible sounding.
@pmck3438 I'm not a fan actually, their music doesn't do much for me, but you reek of bitterness. I like seeing people succeed from their work and effort.
Who ???? Looked like a 5 yr old trying to play guitar..lol nice outfit. Lol 2000 called and wants it rap rock outfit back !
Got em
Good one! Hope they see this, man!
He's on the same talent scale as a Mumble rapper
he's in the best band on the planet today. and nobody calls it mumble rap, it's 2023
Wow they sound like CRAP did someone hand them their instruments for the first time 10 seconds before the interview??? This is a prank right?
Yeah, I’m not sold on this bunch either. Shows just how far Rock and Roll has fallen if these clowns are considered “the next great thing”.
@@Annunaki_0517 I think you guys should watch the Bonamassa rundowns instead lmao, good thing you missed 70s punk, 80s new wave, 90s grunge, 00's pop punk, and 2010s brit alt if you think this is so egregious
@@toolittle7204 I think joe is a tired blues bore all been done before to death R&R IS DEAD
@@toolittle7204 listen to the STOOGES the only band that matters or ever did
@@scooter2377 Ha it sure did in the 50's, you might be surprised to listen to the actually extremely Oasis songs this band does. I think maybe the ultra-cringy Greta-Van-Fleet is more your speed
