Seeing boards like this makes me never want to hear shit about my 5 pedal board being too big ever again... Jesus
Nick is a fantastic guitarist.
Liam Wilson him and Jamie Hince are masters of making one guitar with octave pedals work stellar
and guess what.
There is another delay pedal right here. :D
Yea Rebecca is hot.
It sounds terrible on it's own, but it works for the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. That's all that matters.
1963 jaguar with 22frets... Is this even possible?
The open tuning is EBEBBe and the modified version is CBEBBe for Y Control.
Nick's tone is in his hands. If you have a somewhat noisy rig, it is the player who's rig it is, that will be the missing piece of the equation. It's a delicate thing.
I hope.so because his rig sounded like shit . You can buy fender frontman if that's the sound you want instead of waste a bunch of money
Tyson Rinker
Lol, as someone who owned a Fender Frontman for years, I can attest to this
There's something to be said for boutique pedals NOT made in China.
Like everything else produced overseas, the only criteria is low cost per unit, and such tech is designed for the landfill, so you will buy another sooner.The Line 6 and Digitech are renowned for their low quality,and the TC isn't far behind.Compare this to U.S . builders that still offer lifetime maintainece on hand assembled gear.Support Western small businesses instead of international corporations whenever possible.
Did someone say Pajo? Goodness gracious. It would have been great to hear more about him and what his role was here. We had that grey Papa M album on the turntable in our apartment most days.
Damn I miss Rebecca
What happened to her?
Dude I’m shocked that korg works did y’all see the bottom 😮
His crazy tone works for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs cause they are a crazy band!
Thats not a "Japanese copy", its a MIJ Contemporary strat (never made in USA, so their original model). System one bridge. Great guitars.
I always loved nicks sound
So many fucken pedals , shoe gaze? Lol
I think it's worth noting that some of the most legendary tones many people hear on records (even live ones) are done with some studio magic. A lot of guitar tones by themselves without the context of what's being played sound harsh or strange but when mixed in with a full band it sounds better and the rest of the band fills in gaps.
And let's not forget that most of the tone is in the fingers and Nick wasn't playing the guitar. His tech was.
I love that he's still using the First Act! I used to work there!
Neato.
If Scott pilgrim was real nick would be him
No he woudn't.
Literally so wrong
Johnny Marr really does regards Nick highly it seems, giving him one of his signature Jag. Nice touch
do the locust rig rundown!
yumadapaka is Joey still in that band?
yumadapaka they still exist? i played with them at abc no Rio a million years ago. like 2000 ish.
Nick fidgets like really wants to leave, but it seems like he likes the questions Rebecca asks.
I can't believe someone else is using a 1980s MIJ Fender Strat . . . well except for me. I don't see anyone at any level of fame use a Fender from that time.
You know those were just about the only Fender Strats you could get from 1985 - 1987 or so. The ones with the big bridges were "the" mass produced Fender Strats that were sold everywhere in the U.S. until Fender got there newly bought company/factory in the U.S. ready to go for mass production of all things Fender that we know today.
this guy keeps on saying overdrives are distortions and reverbs delays. it really bothers me
they sell that crap too, but they are mostly a custom guitar company, and they make awesome custom guitars.
Using a metronome doesn't automatically make you a robot. Using a metronome gives you a reference point to better feel the song and play accordingly. Some players obviously prefer to not use metronomes because they have natural rhythm. But some players will want it just to remind them where they are.
I am not a tone nazi, generally i think to myself that's that guys tone, but this tone literally sounds like broken shit. and again im not one usually bothered by tone, but damn that sounded bad
What makes her appealing is her flow of conversation which seems to get a very positive response from the person being interviewed
it's sounds horrible when the tech demo'ed the sound
Agreed. The missing ingredient is probably the man himself.
It's a rule. the tech can never sound better than the guy he works for.
Elliot Wibley Is that why I can never get a tech job?
he even said nick makes it sound better
I know
i love indonesia...
Nice... Dr. Sheldon Cooper is now in a band... cool
14:23 Greetings from Indonesia 👋🙏 17th Aug 2023 = 78th Independence day (78 Tahun) #50TahunSTICKERS
ternyata beneran ada stiker indonesia ya bang, selama ini selalu penasaran setiap nonton live nya YYY di utube eh ternyata beneran dong, kepo kenapa bisa ditempelin di gitar favoritnya nick
@@dittobaguspradana2409 ane tau YYY dulu pas kuliah temen deket ane yg fans banget haha (doi pakai T Shirt YYY) tahun 2005 klo ga salah 😆
nick is got to be one of my favorite guitarists
I’ve got the exact same black Japanese Strat as Nick, albeit a little more original than his is now 😂 For anyone who loves playing a Strat, if you ever get the chance to pick up one of the early E series like this with the schaller system one, trust me you’ll never buy another. Probably a $1500 guitar and I’ve picked up Strats 3 times the price and nothing comes close
OMG, I have a black MIJ Strat just like that one except my fingerboard is maple!
Plenty of drummers use click tracks. Tesseract and Animals as Leaders for instance, are they not real drummers?
Is anyone gonna talk abt how attractive Nick is? Anyone? No? Just me, okay....
Since when do you need tone to sound cool? I think his guitar sounds badass all the time and has a really unique sound.
That's not awkward. check out the J Mascis interview...
I personally think this was a great rundown.
For fucks sake guys! Not all rigs have to sound perfectly crafted and like everyone else. There is room for people to experiment with sound. And for all the bedroom guitarists who have never actually gigged, don't judge a sound until you've heard it in the mix. The sweetest solo guitar tones can get swallowed up in band mix. And some rigs of brilliant guitarists who sound awesome with the band, suck in isolation.
Strymon Big Sky for a Slap back lol . Why not just get a DD3
I dont think any of you haters have ever listened to a yeah yeah yeahs song!
Sounds fucking gnarly
I love the tone. It sounds like his amp is a speaker in a trashcan back stage.
Calling reverbs delays killed me
I’m looking at the pedals and just thinking… Y
If i was gay, then i would soo be about nick
+jackson pulp I'm happy being straight whenever I see Rebecca. But everyone to his / her linkng :)
It still has an effect even with the mic well inside the drum. A tight front with a loose rear can yield amazing results.
Perv
I happy to really love that tone. It's just monstrous and feral, I love it.
Not as interested in his pedals as I am in her rack.
I have a L6dl and its a great pedal, but I don't understand why so many pros use the looper! I find the looper rubbish on it. Plus you could just get an actual looper pedal instead of buying multiple L6DL..
pretty sure it’s because it’s easier to step on knobs with more surface area then a regular looper
the interview with nick was pretty incredibly awkward...
wtf a first act guitar??
VinylGuy 105 there custom shop i found out is really cool!
He just plug and play...
Look, Sheldon Cooper's brother....hahaha.
Does he have a booster or a duffer?
It's pronounced "Gorr-donn"...
You can hear in her voice how weirded out she is by the first act guitar though. ha
Terrible sounds.
This interview felt so awkward to watch overall. It felt like she was having such a hard time getting anything out of him or anything, and it was pretty much a stagnant interview. And it's slightly disappointing to see someone with all of that gear and have such little understanding of how it works. And all of those guitars, could've really been just limited to two or three with an actual understanding of gear. Bummer, he didn't even talk about his open tuning either which is one of the biggest factors in Nicks sound.
Jeaaaaaaaloussssss...
hahaha! anthony, god bless ya man. I've read some funny stuff on the internet but, WOOO man, that was funny. good looks anthony, thanks for the laugh. let me know if you have other comments like these somewhere else!
He admitted to not knowing much about all the gear. He doesn't have to prove anything to you or anybody else. He's doing what he loves and living the dream. Just because you're the Einstein of guitars doesn't mean you can write better songs than him with all your amazing knowledge.
You don't have those many pedals and not know anything about them. this guy in the yeah yeah yeah is definitely trying to hard to be weird and shit. it's definitely a front.
@@tysonrinker8089 i kinda just thought he was a humble guy. of course he knows more about them.
I think he was also just letting her run the interview, and she definitely seemed like she enjoyed asking so many questions, instead of only getting to ask a few that he gave LONG answers to. That can be really annoying when you have questions. (I do that too much, make mountains of molehill questions)
also, sorry to be the misogynist, but did she seem super wet for him? They had some GREAT tension there,
all that gear to sound like that? what the fuck are people listening to these days
The Eventide Space and Strymon BlueSky are not delays. Some tech he is.
woah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitch Cavanaugh *technically* reverb falls into the broad category of delays
so cool. love zinner & the YYYs. thanks!
10:25 "dont worry this is a typical loop" as the rig enters self destruct mode
Wish we could have gotten some clean sounds, that sounded gross...
Some of them do, some of them don't. My guess is that since they throw samples in the middle of songs he plays with a metronome in order not to f**k things up.
that makes sense! he's in head wound city so he's gotta be noisy!
Yaaaayy. Nobody talks about the awesomeness which is Head Wound City. Saw them in October. They killed it. Nick played his first act
yeah I cant wait until their new album!
+Jake yeah absolutely
I really want to do covers of part of their album. I didn't know about this band until a few years ago.
+Jake I didn't know about them till January 2015! Hahah
actually yes but their custom shop guitars are actually pretty good, one of the guys from mastodon plays one too i
Nick Zinner is The best guitarris !!!!!
Mexico loves The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
You are so funny, as they say he plays a Squier sometimes I was thinking lets have look some Mexicans will love that.
TONE IS RELATIVE. Watch the video "tone is a lie" by justnickmusic. It doesn't matter how great or how terrible your guitar sounds on its own, it only matters how it sounds in a musical context. YYY isn't your typical band, and that trashy sound is what they're going for.
... can't see how she is awkward... she's cute & smarter than most of the women journalists in the music industry...
dave pajo is now playing guitar for gang o four.... just saw him in sf a month ago :)
Always blows my mind when I see someone who has a job as a professional guitar tech but has no idea how any of the gear works or even what half of it is...
Matt Pike of High on Fire is a customer of First Act Custom. And he usually plays Les Paul Standards - so he wouldn't play a crap guitar - unless you hate LP's lol... peace
I knew he was a birthday party fan, I mean his hair is kinda like nick cave even ha
... why is PG reposting this vid again? BTW apparently Rebecca is not the web editor @ PG anymore...
I know this guy. He works at Guitar Maniacs when not touring. He fixed my Fender Twin.
Getting some serious Heroin vibes from Nick here. Hope he's doing better as this is 5 years old
Not saying you're wrong, but a lot of why it sounds so thin is because the camera mic is mostly picking up the sound coming from that wedge monitor. Wedge monitor is usually set to sound that way to cut through the mix.
Fun job when you have to find which patch cables the dud
Profession? HAHAHAHA, HE PLAYS IN A ROCK BAND. Get off your high horse. There are no rules to ROCKING AND/OR ROLLING.
Why is the guy tuning the front skin of the bass drum, lol? Or what is he doing there.
INDONESIA!
There is two videos from Dunlop, if you can stand their horrible video effects
dont worry about it the aint worth your time
Anyone know? do drummers in big bands like these usually play with a click track? Just wondering...
'get a thumbnail' well aren't you a pro, wish I was cool enough to have a thumbnail. Clearly i'm just not on your level
Nice to know. Doesn't really matter for the setup my band has, as we mic it inside the bass drum. :P
How do you know he's not?? This is TH-cam...it's anonymous
I played this first act neckthru I thought the tone was pretty interesting
Never heard Heads Will Roll? That's their most famous song.
that is one well used Microkorg !
his tech needs to learn the deference between delay and reverb
Take a drink every time someone comments on Rebecca dirks
Tone *is* the thing that sounds either cool or awful.
Nice that you always ask for the signal flow now. Pretty cool.
I went to that show! My pedal board, however, is not so big.
Thanks for the heads-up. I was wondering about this the whole time.
Dave Pajo, Zwan!
Zwan was awesome.
he was putting on way to much of a front
