As a Filipino dude who is a guitarist, listens almost exclusively to alternative rock and was brought up on classic rock, Joey is a hero to me. Much more than Pacquiao since I'm not a fan of boxing or sports.
JOEY IS THE SOUND OF THE PIXIES.Sorry Kim..love you girl,and with Dave you couldn't ask for a more versatile drummer,but you take away Charles INCREDIBLE song writing,and u take away Joey .no more Pixies.which would be a shame..
I just can't believe how in the beginning of The Pixies, Joey Santiago went from having to borrow Kim Deal's Les Paul through a Peavey combo amp to the rig and choice Gibson guitars he uses now
I'm a broad church guitarist and like many I know a multitude of guitarists - and I have to say, Pixies music is one of the most iconic guitar soundscapes, truly original music, with mostly accessible effects, a fantastic homage to a fantastic band
For the love of god I wish I could have done this interview. Didn't seem like this guy knew anything about the Pixies . However I 'm still glad we have this video.
Great rig rundown. I love Pixies. I love the way Joey describes what his pedals do. The feeling they project and what they say. Very simple but spoken like an artist.
How can the lead guitarist in the greatest band of all time possibly be this nice and humble?!?
Previous yt video, Billy Corgan: "Touring just destroys your guitars". Pixies: "Yeh we tour with 1950s Martin's and 1960 ES335's, s'all good"

The hell is wrong with the audio?
I met Joey after a Pixies show in Memphis back in 2011 and he gave me and each of my friends one of his custom picks. Class act.
Great rundown! Joey seems like such a down-to-earth and FUNNY guy.
The old man closeup was like Tim and Eric.

How come a magazine that's all about sounding great and stuff always has such shitty audio? ^^
Joey is such a nice guy and one of my all-time guitar heroes. I wish him well ! Get well soon !
Wow, what a dude Santiago is. I love that he describes his pedals by what face he pulls and what colour the sound is!

Duncan Swift is also Jonny Greenwood's guitar tech. Awesome.

Duncan is guitar tech butler. "It's very kind of you to say so, sir. Thank you very much sir."
Great Rig Rundown of one of my favorite bands. THANKS!!!!
I saw Pixies live in January 2014, and that was the loudest show I have ever been to. From this relatively modest setup.
