CME Sessions: Shiner | Live At Chicago Music Exchange

[@chicagomusicexchange]

THANKS FOR WATCHING!! SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CHICAGO MUSIC EXCHANGE!! NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK!!

[@Daveiam76]

Looove Shiner. My little rooty poo of a band had the pleasure of opening for them 22 years ago in Fort Collins, Colorado, on the CSU Campus. Houston was also on the bill.

[@nedim_guitar]

I'm rewatching this for, like the fifth time since the video was published. There's just too little Shiner live with professional sound. Thank you CME! And thank you SHINER for always rocking out!

[@dryremark17]

How I wish there was a decent quality video and audio performance of theirs from the Splay or Lula era.

[@nedim_guitar]

@@dryremark17 Oh yeah, that would be really cool! But I'll be happy with A LOT of new videos too. :)

[@dza6010]

AWESOME! I grew up listening to these guys, even got to see them live a couple times and my rinky-dink band opened for them once. Most people have Zep or Sabbath, for me it was bands like Shiner, Failure, Plexi, Traindodge, Riddle of Steel... Amazing upload, thank you so much!

[@CFChristian]

Had to look up Plexi. Was not expecting *that* sound to come out of *that* band. Lol.

[@juanticimo]

Dont forget HUM =P

[@justaguy3665]

Super cool to hear someone reference Riddle Of Steel. They don't get enough love. Traindodge and Failure are also excellent obviously.

[@dza6010]

@@juanticimo absolutely Hum! "Downward is Heavenward" is on my all-time shortlist

[@nedim_guitar]

We have a lot in common, my brother. Only, I found all those bands since 2013 onward. And I'm very happy about that!

[@DangerAmbrose]

Props to the sound engineers at Chicago Music Exchange Studio. This sounds fantastic.

[@TheRoroCuz]

It’s probably Nathaniel 😂

[@nedim_guitar]

Totally!!

[@ericsanger4408]

Disagree completely.

[@rufusrose]

Seen these guys they didn’t need a lot of help rock on guys

[@Jackson-eh3gv]

Sounds very close to the record

[@HalfStepTides]

Can't believe we get some HD Andalusia after all this fucking time. Absolutely amazing.

[@matthewcarrico8468]

I saw these fellas at Spacebar Columbus a couple years ago. There were maybe 20-30 people total in the entire place including the bands. I was shocked but the show was fantastic.

[@Mime619]

Off timing pioneers of heavy alternative. Frontrunners. You couldn't even describe this. Absolutely amazing.

[@calixohiggins9843]

Great band, great mix. That drummer's snare might be the most perfect sounding live snare I've ever heard.

[@matthewcarrico8468]

Something in the water up in those parts. Bryan St Pere from Hum always had an amazing snare sound too. Tim Dow is another great drummer from that area.

[@silverwheel]

Allen's Tele should be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@chadwickwright2833]

It’s a Hohner actually.

[@nedim_guitar]

Oh man, how I love this band! The soundscapes, the beats, the bass, the chords, the voice, the songs!!

[@ifly65]

This is the best live production Ive ever heard from Shiner. I wish every live show sounded like this, especially the vocals. Rock on Allen....we've met a couple of times.

[@rockgtr35]

Saw these guy in a bar in 2002 opening for someone else. They were amazing. Been a fan since. Glad to see them rocking again.

[@MyNameBibo]

Christ Sized Shoes is so so good. Hell, this whole set is great. These guys rock!

[@lemures111]

Fun to watch! I've seen these guys live over the decades many times and they are definitely an awesome band. It's not tricky anymore by today's standards for heavier bands but the tones are there and the song writing is there for sure

[@adee2569]

Love this band and that Albini snare sound :)

[@ararfilms2519]

Absolute heroes!

[@bobbyboombeck]

Shiner is one of my all time favorite bands. SOOOO great to see them still playing. I can only hope I can see them live again in CA! They still sound fantastic.

[@atrainbrady3208]

These guys are really good, I'm glad I came across them when googling hum and failure.

[@eelmobeel7646]

Same!!

[@cityboyee]

The verse part in "Andalusia" in this performance might be the platonic ideal of an overdriven guitar tone. Damn that sounds good. Band is tight af, esp for these gents who are starting to get up there in years. Never could truly get into this band like their contemporaries in Failure or Hum but I respect them and I've spun "The Egg" a fair amount in the past 2 decades. The first track here from the post reunion lp sounded quite good too.

[@westwoodmusic604]

LOUDER! MAKE IT LOUDER! super stoked to hear Unglued especially

[@XavierCastillo]

Incredible. Was fortunate to see them live a few times pre pandemic. Also love the life and times. Hope to see Alan again live soon.

[@deepspacepilots]

Amazing sounding. Good job everyone involved.

[@DrumNamaeste]

So good to see these guys still killing it

[@elongatedmusket7430]

GREAT band!

[@Panzerpuppe]

Sooo Cool, i love your Music so much! 🥰

[@ZachWish]

So sick!

[@BiffolomewNasty]

Just found these guys. So much to listen to in this group at any given moment!!! what kind of bass does Paul have here?

[@arjunapartha]

Not sure.. but, I am sure that his main bass is and always has been a Fender Precision Elite (yeah Elite- with active electronics) His main amp Mesa 400+ and tube screamers that are modded and blacked out, with the knobs ripped off - no one can ever see the settings.

[@arjunapartha]

If you really, really want the secret goods; check out Season To Risk : In A Perfect World

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

a bit late but it’s made by a guy called Justin Mantooth (who, if you’ve watched the Shiner rig rundown, did up the neck on Paul’s Squier P)

[@dontthroworanges]

Subscribed just for this. What an awesome little Shiner retrospective! Thanks CME!

[@bretlanahan6417]

All hail Shiner!

[@siryba8855]

Holy shit. These guys are amazing.

[@paulschedlich]

Sounds incredible. Great mix!

[@regu6681]

holy shit (literally), Christ Sized Shoes sounds so good here

[@waltoguilty2148]

🔥🔥Meraviglioso!!! ❤from Italy🇮🇹

[@arjunapartha]

Q: Alan, Paul, Josh; How many pedals? A: Yes. All of them please.

[@The_Kiosk]

Been a fan since Josh Newton was a part of The Full Effect. Truly amazing band.

[@alfredrivera4895]

The first song reminds me of a Catherine wheel with more algebra

[@TheZatrahc]

I opened for the Life and Times in 2012 in like, the absolute shittiest music venue in New Jersey. It lead to the dissolution of that band soon after as I tried to get us to change our sound to be as similar to this as possible. It was a real a-ha moment for me.

[@alexschrodt]

The DARK MAVIS !!! (a.k.a. Mark Davis) = baddest sound engineer/raddest dude I’ve ever had the privilege of working or traveling with, and it makes me incredibly happy to know these Thunderbringers have him in tow… Did the Mavis run sound for this little shindig?

[@MikeFittery77]

One word for Shiner, THICK!!!

[@gabriest]

Heroes.

[@Eigengraudoom]

Brutal

[@tres311]

The Hipsters of BrookLyn probably were passing around the shiner cassette for years waiting on the reunion!

[@soweyesee]

Choice!

[@edog1994]

how i never saw this…

[@rangeboy7210]

Reminiscent of Oceansize❤

[@louiemac9455]

They came before Oceansize. But both bands are admirable.

[@mickimilkyway2640]

❤️

[@R1GAMBLER]

rad

[@mintower]

I love this guys!

[@coffinperson]

Is that just an SM57 on the snare? How does it sound that good?

[@ebbeeriksson2243]

Nobody plays a snare like Gerken

[@GregsGuitarLessons]

r88 overhead helps!

[@CFChristian]

@@GregsGuitarLessons Pretty much the authority.

Fuckin yeah!!!

[@dasbear10]

Nice bass, anyone know what it is?🤔

[@waltlockhart1651]

Search for Rig Rundown: Shiner - they just recently did one and Paul goes all the way through his gear

[@theystretchformiles]

@@waltlockhart1651 yeah but that one ain't in it. also curious

[@shonkornfeld]

Mantooth Guitars

[@angelcakes5747]

What kind of bass is that? Almost looks like a dunable judging by the volume knob but the headstock tells me otherwise

[@BiffolomewNasty]

i want to know the same LOL

[@cose-di-e7445]

Mantooth Guitars!

[@angelcakes5747]

@@cose-di-e7445sweet! Thanks :)

[@Vobejda1]

OMG : )

[@wakizashipwreck]

I thought they originally stopped playing because of Jason’s car accident?

[@soweyesee]

Fuck I’m old

[@juanticimo]

shiner on your channel, equals a sub and a like!~ thank you!

[@TapesTree]

The songs are excellent. Listening to Shiner talk is great and informative. The interviewer makes me cringe though. He is awkward. That bit about “we started this thing off very weird“ sounds rather inappropriate. I did not perceive anything very weird before he said that. The only thing that was weird to me was him saying that it started off “very weird”. Then the comment about “too many switches under the feet“. I would’ve chosen different wording. Maybe “lots of” or “tons of”, but “too many” is pompous sounding and judgmental. No need to trash talk Failure, even if it’s a slight.
