I remember Troy when he played in a band called Tongues & Tails (many nights in the kibitz room then 7-11 @ 2am). My really good friends were the drummer and bass player respectively, they were kinda like country/rock, good band, but look at you now. A bona fide rock star! You made it man, living the dream. Congrats....
@@joelkeane3160 based on what do you define what makes a great guitarist? Technical skills? You know, he doesn't have to be playing all that technical stuff to be amazing. Less is more is a great example. You don't have to be great at everything, but you have to good at your own thing.
Better Art I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. But I’m making a point concerning what people consider “amazing”, or “great”....The guy is a very successful musician who has been working at the peak of the rock n roll industry for about 2 decades. Massive props and massive respect to him.
@LowLinK yea they were definitely trying new things in terms of sound recording, always looking for new ways to do things, I admire that! Yea the drums are so present, very much in "your face" as they put it, one of my favourite albums from them for sure! But I was just saying what I saw on an interview, Troy reacting to someone playing Qotsa riffs with a lot of distortion and fuzz - basically he said that they play very loud, its like a natural distortion, and not so much from pedals I guess. But yea they sure use a lot of fuzz and heavy machinery ahah especially live playing these old songs.. Miss old qotsa man, I dont hate the new stuff and I get it, an artist should take risks and try to innovate, I respect Josh for that. But I really love Kyuss and the Old Qotsa.. So much balls maaaaan, and they already had a perfect balance between "pop" and rock, very much unique Have a nice day man!

***** hey do you know what pedal josh uses to get that crazy robot reverb? is it his PDF1 filter or is he EQing the guitar differently? any help would be much appreciated. you can hear it clearly on any 2014 performance of little sister or no one knows
This you realise is state of the art...not in the normal sense..but gigs are running huge fx and gear....so much that the joe playing air guitar cannot imagine...this is like Film making...or sculpture ..or Architecture ...where so much impact of the tools and materials define the output. And mind you these are tools to get the sound you want....enlightening!
I watched this a few years ago. Watching it now that I know so much more about gear, and pedals especially, it's so much better than it was years back!

6:14. ...all the amp sounds are from the ac30? Poker players note....he starts fidgeting and twirling his ring ! Says yes...but he's definitely lying !!
Old threads are still good for getting sounds from different eras.TVL actually uses mostly common gear, - lotta Way Huge, some EHX, EQD,- with a few boutiques likely acquired as endorsements, or endorsement attempts.For someone in his position, it's a humble set up,- down to amps and Fender/ Echo Park guitars. In Alt these days, you see a LOT of dubious snobbery and gate keeping with all that is available, if you're willing to spend the money.But in live situations, you soon learn that most of those relatively subtle differences are lost, - and that you spent thousands for no reason.It might look prettier, or impressive, but there is no need.
"Longtime QOTSA fans will no doubt be bummed, though unsurprised, to hear that Homme didn’t take part in our interview-he almost never gives guitar-oriented interviews." link in desc.
Who the heck says that? Some of the most well known rock guitarists have used the VOX AC30 and as others have said, most professional guitarists have used an AC30 at some point in time
I think you mean some people say Vox only does clean tones (it does more than that). Listen to the Stooges' Raw Power album, that's all done with a cranked AC30 and it rocks
As a fellow Dutchman I feel the need to express to Van Leeuwen on how the Dutch pronounce that name. Not "Van Loo-wyn" but "Van Lay-wyn" The name comes from the word "Leeuw" (Pr. Lay-wuh) which means Lion. And "Leeuwen" is the plural. The word "Leeuw" alone sounds really proud when you pronounce it in the Dutch manner.
So none f these guys have high end pedals like Strymon it looks like for the road they use cheap ones but I'm shure in the studio they take out the high end pedals cause that's why they're meant for no?
And to think I was about to go to bed. Shiiddddd *watches repeatedly* Now I can stop asking/trying to take shitty camera photos of Troys setup at live shows. Yay!
I don't think vox changed anything since the first made ac30s in 64/65..other then speaker changes maybe,there's no vintage year/production period with them..there's only handwired and standard pcb mount options.
+jamesylew listen I don't mean to be rude but I make pedals and amps,I fix amps and I sell pedals I make from pcb I make..,I don't need to google anything because Ive been over the schematic a few times over the..there's is no vintage year ac30..the only changes are weather it piont to piont hand wired or the components are mounted on pcb...other changes include speaker selection..but other then that they are all the same..you want to treat them like vintage guitars go ahead,I don't care

That's fuckin awesome
All I use is organic hand wired pedals and amps from free range electronic workshops.
Wahahahaha
I love Troy! Such a cool dude and an amazing guitarist!
what are you an about?
He’s not an amazing guitarist. He does cool stuff in a good band. Good on him, but he’s not a great guitar player by any means.
@@joelkeane3160 based on what do you define what makes a great guitarist? Technical skills? You know, he doesn't have to be playing all that technical stuff to be amazing. Less is more is a great example.

His signature Jazzmaster is by far my favorite guitar,love the oxblood and black color scheme.
It plays like a dream, too.
Saw qotsa live, really liked the All red amps on stage
they should do a rundown on Mikey shoes' bass rig!
Saw only "Rig Rundown - Queens of the Stone Age" and thought my dream of Josh's rig had come true, Troy is still an amazing player though
Homme is very secretive about the pedals & gear he uses to get his sound. I'd be very surprised to see him do an interview about it.
Ray Koren apparently they don’t use much gain either, which is unlike what a lot of people may think.
Ray Koren lol
@LowLinK Troy said it himself in a interview, it was not that distorted, just very loud, even in those heavier albuns

A Rig Rundown with Brian Molko of Placebo...please do it
Cool that he's a convertee to the Green Rhino. Hands down best OD pedal
+Mac I'm still using my Maxon OD808 live.
Josh is so god damn secretive about his rig!!!
***** can I see it?
***** Joshua...I gotcha now!
Thanks a bunch, chum! that really helps a lot.
***** Josh's Lydian Scale!! FINALLY!!!!!

I like this guy, he seems to have a sensible outlook on pedals and equipment in terms of not being biased toward new or old.

do you play? wanna jam? where you from?
I watched this a few years ago. Watching it now that I know so much more about gear, and pedals especially, it's so much better than it was years back!
A Rig Rundown of RATM's Tom Morello and/or Tim Commerford would be freaking awesome!
Think u might be right about that.
Jonas Wohlfeld RATM would have to tour in order for PG to do a rig rundown for them.
they did one for his Prophets of Rage rig a few months ago
They did Tom and Timmy C both individually but a Rage rundown would be cool since they recently got back together
JCM800, original whammy 👍🏻
I love his work in Failure. if you're not a 90's kid, check them out. very underground
the touring he did?
he never recorded with them, only touring in 1996 and 1997 (and again in 2015 for old time’s sake).
@@cactus-mcjacktusoh hey, i see you literally all the time on bj russell’s videos as well!! what’s your instagram @, cuz i feel like we might be mutuals
Troy Van Leeuwen is the coolest guy on the planet.
What an amazing interview, wow. Really nice job PG.
The fact that all his Fuzzes have the volume MAXED
that one is a really inspiring interview. too bad Josh didn't do it.
Finally! A QOTSA Rig Rundown!! Thanks PG!
That is an Echopark Guitars model that Dean uses when he plays guitar during shows.
I have waited long for this one!!!
He really liked his tortoise shell pickguards doesn't he?
6:14. ...all the amp sounds are from the ac30? Poker players note....he starts fidgeting and twirling his ring ! Says yes...but he's definitely lying !!
do a josh homme rig rundown!!!
tame impala rigrundown !!!
I'd kill for that.
Yes. Kevin Parker is a genius
+Lucifer “Satan” - you forgot to put the after is
Lucifer - i don't drink, so of course
Yes! Tame Impala sound Amazon live. I'd love to also see if any of the synths used in Tame are going through effects.

First thing I noticed about the pedalboard was the Pitchblack tuner instead of a TU-3
I love when TH-cam works
Josh Homme rig!!!!
The "eeu" part in Van Leeuwen is pronounced as the Letter "A"
shaun toggelma just because he can't pronounce it doesn't mean it isn't actually pronounced like that
"Longtime QOTSA fans will no doubt be bummed, though unsurprised, to hear that Homme didn’t take part in our interview-he almost never gives guitar-oriented interviews." link in desc.
thanks PG, awesome stuff!
'Candy Ox-blood' has to be the coolest guitar colour EVER!!
Some people say vox can't play rock, that is total bullshit. Look at Troy, it sounds freaking badass!!
Who the heck says that? Some of the most well known rock guitarists have used the VOX AC30 and as others have said, most professional guitarists have used an AC30 at some point in time
Nobody says vox can't play rock you madman.
Wowo Mah I know, but some people online said it and some guitarist i know. Very foolish off them, I love vox amps myself.
I think you mean some people say Vox only does clean tones (it does more than that). Listen to the Stooges' Raw Power album, that's all done with a cranked AC30 and it rocks
I like how they put Seans name huge at the bottom instead of the person they are interviewing.
Seriously, thanks for this PG.
I love the colour of that Jazzmaster!
i always wanted the sa 503 tvl but i heard complains from everyone and never saw troy use it
11:25 illuminati confirmed
...but grab the latest issue (vol. 98) of Australian Guitar. There's an interview with Josh about his gear in that magazine.
Anyone knows the tunning used in his lap-steel?
Troy.. You know.. you know..
She left Premier Guitar a few weeks ago, so there won't be any rundowns by Rebecca Dirk anymore...
Kinda stinks that Josh didn’t do one, man, I would’ve liked to seen his gear as well
He’s afraid someone will steal his sound. Kinda irrational.
@@75YBA Really? Interesting
Can we do another John Mayer rig rundown please! His latest tour has some more interesting variables, again.
Nice cool dude and such a great guitar player.
Could be a private vid shared on the PGS website or in a mail. Might have been just 'publicated'. A lot of uploaders use that trick.
Josh also plays one of those same modeled Echopark guitars on some songs live....I wanna say for Tail or Ocean, I can't remember.
Read the description man, they got pics.
So does he run all of his pedals into the front of his amp? Or are some in the loop?
I feel ya. It's Van Leeuwen, not Van Loewun.
So stocked you guys did W
...what is the Tele shaped guitar shown here?...doesn't look like a fender headstock..but its fookin gorgeous !!
if you have the patience, watch the video :)
Tame Impala ! please
It seems Shawn didn't want this meeting to end.
Such a cool dude
Great rundown! I'd really love it if you did a Tame impala one, they're touring with the flaming lips in october
homme is notoriously secretive about his sound and setup
Does TH-cam have it's days wrong this video was published september 3rd but some comments say 4 or 5 days ago
Josh never reveals all his secrets, it's a closely guarded secret, known only to Josh, which is a shame
Hi PG stuff! I'd really really love to you guys make rig rundown with Foals! Rare guitars and nice effects and great sounds!
Gaslight anthem rig rundown!!!
Zaid Ali lots of vox and fender amps, lots of les Paul
Bass rig, bass man+8x10+Pbass
You forgot to do a rundown of his suits!
Anybody knows what's that black pedal sitting on the shelf with Q-zone and Green Rhino in the rack? Can be seen around 3:20 or 12:35.
Kapetan Kolja It's called a HBE Germacide.
Johnny Asher Thanks, I managed to find out myself, but forgot to post here. Cheers!
We..need..Lord Homme..
Strong Alan Ruck vibes.
This is really cool, but we need to find some way to convince Homme to do this. haha
Foo Fighters rundown guys!
Premier Guitar, Dou you guys think you'd be able to do a Rig Rundown for Paramore? No one else has...Thanks!!
FINNALY!
Anyone knows when the signature Jazzmaster is due date?
It's like explaining how you cut skin as a surgeon.
So stocked you guys did QOTSA.
You know???
Was this shot through a dirty window? Did they just smoke a blunt?
As a fellow Dutchman I feel the need to express to Van Leeuwen on how the Dutch pronounce that name.

Troy and Qotsa fuck yeah, cheers.
Anyone know some pedals that I can use to sound like josh under 100$
So none f these guys have high end pedals like Strymon it looks like for the road they use cheap ones but I'm shure in the studio they take out the high end pedals cause that's why they're meant for no?
Ferris buellers sidekick went goth?!
What kind of bike does Josh ride?
Jacob Trcalek a huffy?
And to think I was about to go to bed. Shiiddddd *watches repeatedly* Now I can stop asking/trying to take shitty camera photos of Troys setup at live shows. Yay!
Damn, I've been using herco flex 75's since the 90's... can't beleive the dude from QOTSA and (Jimmy page) uses them too.
Where is Michael Shurman's bass rig?..............
At 6:10 what year ac30 is that?? Anybody?
I don't think vox changed anything since the first made ac30s in 64/65..other then speaker changes maybe,there's no vintage year/production period with them..there's only handwired and standard pcb mount options.
+Daniel Allan So wrong.
Ok how?.....there are no vintage year ac30s...I've never heard of anyone saying "I like a 65 over 70"..it doesn't happen
+Daniel Allan you are talking when when you should be googling. Go do work and come back later
+jamesylew listen I don't mean to be rude but I make pedals and amps,I fix amps and I sell pedals I make from pcb I make..,I don't need to google anything because Ive been over the schematic a few times over the..there's is no vintage year ac30..the only changes are weather it piont to piont hand wired or the components are mounted on pcb...other changes include speaker selection..but other then that they are all the same..you want to treat them like vintage guitars go ahead,I don't care
troy rules. long live FAILURE.
Yes... my son sent me failure freeway.. he is 16..i was cracking up.
didn’t expect his voice to sound like that!
I was waiting for him to start snoring
this is sick
What about Joey???
Can you please do Les claypool's rig us bass players would love to know :)
You guys should interview Pearl Jam
Fuck, I was just looking for a JM. That one is perfect. anybody know when it's coming out?
That super ego pedal is nasty
what type of tele is that?
Echo Park
I've heard Josh doesn't like giving away too many secrets to his rig/guitars/etc.
Sick shoes!
