the gum joke was 🔥

[@Mattdugas24]

I think Hans requested Billie’s rig to be skipped to troll back everyone from the last rig rundown lol

[@chris_kies]

We made it happen y'all! Big thanks to both techs Darian Polach & Gabe Monnot for carving out some time for the Rundown AFTER we had to go inside the stadium to wait out a thunderstorm warning/lightning protocol - some heroes don't wear capes and these gentlemen rule! I bet those G-3s are gonna sell like hotcakes!

[@Patrick-fm5dk]

Love your rundowns, bro ✌️❤️

[@melvined]

i know i saw you at the last performance, you gotta do a rundown with Kowloon Walled City, opening for Sumac at drkmtter!!!

[@reverb508]

Great job, dude! A little bummed that we didn’t get to see Billie’s gear. I know you said his rig hasn’t changed much, but Billie has picked up a few cool guitars out on tour. Saw them at Fenway last month (amazing show btw) and Billie had a bunch of new guitars. Judging by his instagram, he’s developed a nasty case of GAS on this tour 😂 Keep up the great work, Chris!

[@WheelBirbz]

Thanks Chris and Premier Guitar for doing this with the band again! UPDATE: Hans himself confirmed EXACTLY what PG said-no real changes to the rig itself except for the speakers, the iso cab boxes, and a few different P-90 brands. He’s also mentioned before that it’s basically been the same other than the changes below since either 21CB or AI, and that was mainly technical switching/power amp stuff for the cab backline AFAIK. There’s a rig diagram from AI that shows the setup out there if you care to see the changes, but it’s basically the same amp base as well. ALSO, the signature Marshall will be released (he mentioned “It’s Marshall Month” haha). Maybe by the end of September (would be fitting 😅)? Just FYI for folks, but Hans (Billie’s tech) posts frequent gear updates and insights into their tours. The main changes he’s mentioned in the comments are that they’re running 1960B cabs with G12T-75s (rather than V30s) in iso boxes and using a variety of pickups in the P-90 guitars. Same modded Marshalls run in parallel for distortion and definition, same lead boost (BD-2 that’s used for cutting through on solos), and basically the same switching/technical details in the 2013 episode. Guitars are obviously a bit different, but it’s basically all the same type (P-90s and humbucker substitutes for Blue) Also, shameless plug, but you can also check out Green Day Guitar Gear and Green Day Guitars for more gear interviews and magazine scans. We’d love to have more members and activity!

[@tengue]

[@GiorgioVerzotto]

Thanks, I was wondering about the speakers, such a key part of the final result.

[@WheelBirbz]

@@GiorgioVerzottono prob! I love geeking out about this kind of stuff. Also, there was an old 2004ish interview that confirmed that greenbacks and V30s were the primary speakers used on AI and that they didn’t blend the amps. Will need to dig that scan up again, but thought that was interesting.

[@sbag37]

"Matt Freeman, another bass player from the East Bay" come on man, dude's a legend and he was just tossed in like "we met this new up and coming guy".

[@chris_kies]

I mean, he is 'another bass player from the bay,' right? If my tone insinuated disinterest or ignorance to Matt Freeman's prowess or influence, wait for the Rundown I hosted with him ... I do my best to not be a sycophant. As a teenager in the 90s, Rancid was one of my favorite bands and a big reasons n was Matt’s shredding!!

[@hector_nimrod]

35:14 Hans come towards the camera, and see it, turn straight back. Dude had PSTD with you guys bullyed him so much about the gum, that we probably will never have him on the show again

[@anthonysclafani3963]

PG kinda lied about it in the beginning of the video, they spun it as "BJ's rig is basically identical" but his tech wouldn't let them see it. The tech kinda hates PG for 11 years of gum comments, which is kinda understandable. Seems like PG's annoyed they couldn't see BJ's rig (the main thing people wanted to see) so they made more gum jokes to piss the tech off cuz they were bitter. The gum was annoying but it's been 11 years, let it go. And the way PG buried the tech not letting them see it in the comments is kinda shitty.

[@fireballmx]

@@BananaWaffle99 that is 10000% Hans

[@theplourde]

To be honest he was the unprofessional one chewing the fuckin gum in the first place. Were the gum comments over the last 11 years unwarranted? ehh. But to say 90% of the rig is the same when eagle eyed people (in these comments nonetheless) have notice changes is a straight up lie. Im guessing they said so only due to maybe getting Billie Joe on himself (with no Hans hopefully) in the future for a more length one on one or to keep PG from being PNG'd from Green Day access for press altogether.

[@italolima8967]

O homi ficou traumatizado

[@weakweek85]

Billie is rocking a bunch of new guitars though

[@soapboxparishrecordings5287]

All with the same mod set up as all his signatures really apart from the Gibson SG semi hallow body.

[@OMB_Music]

I think they just said that bc the tech was pissed about the gum jokes

[@TheRealgSe7eN]

Billie’s new thing was to go to local music stores on tour and buying a guitar and using it on stage that night. So badass.

[@soapboxparishrecordings5287]

@@TheRealgSe7eN I mean he did that once but ok.

[@TheRealgSe7eN]

@@soapboxparishrecordings5287 He did it many times on this tour. No shortage of music stores posting the pictures and then watching Green Day official reels showing the guitar being played that night.

[@xxjaydoubleuxx]

Thank you guys! :D Literally just two days ago I went to you guys´s channel to search for a rig rundown tour 2024! Now here we are!

[@nickpinto3837]

Thank you for doing Jason’s rig

[@Mr_Ashley]

Thank you for addressing the Gum! I still hear it as I lay at night.

[@luismanuelalvarezpedrosa434]

Chris Kies always does better than good, but in this case he had to make a special effort to get some answers in the face of the shortage of words of the interviewees (sometimes). As a fellow professional speaker, I can only acknowledge the magnificent work done in this case. It's in these situations when you can tell who's got what it takes to get the job done. Great Chris!

[@bayleyaustin2202]

“Billie’s Rig remained 90% the same” really? Because I only saw like two guitars from the 2013 RR when they played in Pittsburgh lol. The guy has an insane amount of new guitars!! Every time I’ve seen them he’s kept updating.

[@EricMerrow]

Definitely a bummer we didn’t get BJA’s rig but I don’t blame Hans. I’d speculate it was caused by a bunch of jerks in the first one. Either way, love the video!! Good job Chris & company!

[@MrSnake9419]

probably because PG continues to make comments on it like 0:47

[@andrewpappas9311]

The 2013 one was one of the first Rig Rundowns I watched and is still a personal favourite so seeing one of their new tour makes me incredibly happy, I was at their show when they came to Toronto and I fucking loved seeing them blast through both Dookie and Idiot. Would’ve loved to have seen Billie’s gear but if it was similar that’s fair as well (Obviously I still remember seeing him with Blue for the Dookie stuff but he also had some other cool Les Pauls with him, he had a really nice red Standard and I dunno if the white Junior he had for Idiot was a custom one or even his original from back then but he still had a lot of really cool stuff regardless), but hearing Mike rock his new G3 (he had the silverburst one when I saw them) and getting to see the original as well is just so fucking co

[@JeremyLeech]

We’ve all been waiting for this!!!! Hell yeah!!!

[@tubee1811]

only took 11 years for a updated one!! LES GOOO!!!

[@marcreno893]

I saw on one of these gear reviews that Brian Baker from Bad religion has been touring with one of BJ’s old Marshall heads for along time. I thought that was pretty cool. Brian Bakers the man 🎸 🔥 🤘

[@JeffBee1]

Saw them in Milwaukee on this tour, and they crushed it! Sound was incredible.

[@MrJingles021]

I'm not a huge Green Day fan, hardly a fan. In fact, not really a fan. But my goodness, the guitar tone on American Idiot is so damn good.

[@MrJingles021]

@muffinstuff6195 oh I get it. I recently have Nickleback a chance. When I was a kid I liked their Silver Side Up era....but I just didn't like them. Not to say their tone wasn't good. I typically listen to heavier stuff.

[@markbundy1694]

This Channel is Superior!

[@MrAll300]

Yeah that was nice.....The only thing I would like is for the big players to show off their guitars themselves. But i can understand why not. Thank you guys!

[@tiki2777]

I think it's fair to say that PG should have noted (in the preview posts) that BJA's rig wasn't going to be included in an update. That's a VERY fair criticism. Many of us were wanting this, since the RR tour, FOA tour, and now Saviors. Itd also be nice to go through Kevin's rig. Glad to see JW and Mikes stuff though!

[@beatletrainfan129]

I was waiting for Billie’s rig. Don’t have Billie on the Thumbnail if he’s not gonna be a part of it.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

❗❗ I hope this means we're getting a Trè Cool Drum Rundown too ❗❗

[@colinmcdonald7591]

I was so looking forward to Hans in this one! I think the 2013 RR is an absolute classic and highly entertaining. Guy chews gum, so what. At least he can string more than 6 words together and didn't sound stoned lol It's been a minute, BJA's rig can't be all the same. I mean, maybe amp wise, but in 2013 they weren't using iso cabs yet I don't think and still had wedges so not everything is the same.

[@zietgiestnewspeak6143]

Crazy that i played with Mike in a side project, been in his home, been in Billie's studio and I can't remember any of these bass guitars even though I thought I'd recognize them all. Tipical drummer.

[@Zdoesbass]

I went to Austin! It was amazing!!

[@andrewpappas9311]

[@henryherrero8942]

Its a little dissapointing they skipped over BJAs rig even though its mostly the same. I mean, JWs amp rig has also stayed pretty consistent apart from a few pedals and guits. Would've been nice to see some of Billies new axes. Nevertheless, amazing interview from Chris as always! Also.... We get a new Green Day RR, but wheres the Drum Rundown with Tre Cool?!🤨

@@DavidOakesMusic Because BJ's tech wouldn't let them see it, not cuz it was identical. People have been shitting on the tech for the gum chewing for years so he didn't do it.

Billy Joe hasn't changed his setup since the last one in 2013. Why would they just show it again? If anyone originally missed that rig rundown, it's still up. Go watch it. People need to stop complaining. Excited for Mike's new Epiphone to hit the market.

[@Nick-fb9uq]

He's using a lot of different guitars for this tour. Would've liked to hear Hans talk about them but I understand why he didn't lol

[@notasoxfan]

Love these vids, but gotta agree with some others, been waiting for an update for a long time, big whiff not going through Billie's stuff again. No one wants to go back and keep listening to the infamous gum chomping. Keep up the great work tho PG, great seeing new bands and old revisits.

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Kind of a dick move to keep doing the gum joke, it's been like 12 years. Yeah it was kinda annoying but let it go. Seems like PG was annoyed BJ's tech wouldn't do it so they stuck in another gum joke at the beginning of the video which is a little shitty.

[@petecritchell]

White G3 looks beautiful. Want it ao bad

[@anthonysclafani3963]

You didn't do BJ's rig cuz his tech didn't want to participate, not just cuz it was identical. The gum was annoying, but it was over a decade ago. 11 years later and y'all are still giving him shit for it to the point that artists no longer want to do Rig Rundowns. Nice job guys.
