Hahaha the chewing gum guy ..he's legends in the rig rundowns

[@asherbeal8357]

That’s cocaine. The gum is a cover. 🤮🤮🤮

[@commanderphilbo1471]

@@asherbeal8357 he's chewing cocaine ?

[@asherbeal8357]

😂😂😂 he is chewing gum because of the coke 🤷‍♂️

[@commanderphilbo1471]

Well he should lay off the soda ..to much sugar in coke

[@commanderphilbo1471]

@@karlsmith7016 he seems like good dude ..people are triggered by the gum ..I couldn't imagine having to live with some one thats triggered by gum

"Nothing sounds better than old speakers and these are like 5-6 years old". Me: old = pre Rola.

[@noi5emaker]

Hahha yup. I've got socks older than those speakers. They're not old!

[@nathanmarshall3739]

“It’s the dookie mod, it adds more gain… and we added an extra tube on this head for even more gain”……… 1 minute later…. “Billy’s tone is surprisingly clean and isn’t about gain” 🤔 🧠 🔥

[@anthonyc3496]

Early stuff high gain, later stuff considerably less gain

[@diegopereze98]

high-gain amps used sparingly tend to have a warmer tone with more harmonic richness even in low-gain settings than the cleaner amps that sound a little less dirty but since it's green day we want a lot of character even for the less overdriven tones

[@actionjackson8439]

Also when asked about the difference in sound between a straight and angled bridge pickup, "I'm not really sure I'm still trying to figure that out."

[@mikemichel]

My brain always freezes when bands build miniature electronic cities simply to achieve a clean and dirty tone. Keeps people employed I guess.

[@graxjpg]

Techs do like to have things in big rack cases lol. there’s only so much pride they can have in the music being that it’s not that great lol, that may be why they have to get huge rigs.. to compensate!

[@powerdog242]

Hobbyists can afford to have only one amp, or maybe a second as a backup. Pros on a $350,000,000 world tour? Nope, they need backups, because one amp breakdown isn’t going to stop the tour. All the fans paying $150 per ticket want the band to sound like the records. And the guitarist used THIS amp on the first record, THAT on the second and third, A THIRD ONE for everything else until the last album, when he used X... So now one amp turns into a dozen, everything’s racked and sitting in flight cases, you’ve got roadies, and everything is just easier to deal with that way.

[@mikemichel]

@@powerdog242 i was a tech for major bands. Its just philosophy and personal tastes. Some people bring 2 amps on a major tour. Too each his own. My confusion being a tech for heavy hitters was all of the rack and switching gear for guitarists who are in punk bands basically. Why did one guitar hero I work with who wrote Stairway to Heaven have a 1/2 stack and the same pedals for decades. Why does Tom Morello use 5 pedals and Marshall Peavey rig? Why does a guitarist who doesnt really use a ton of diverse sounds use elaborate rigs to get clean and dirty? Everyones brain is different. Its just silly to me. Whatevs.

[@allrain]

@@mikemichel Agreed, and his tech hitting pedals for him? Utterly buffling. Must be he thinks it's not gonna make a huge difference if the tech misses out.

[@BruceKnouseMusic]

Would love to see Billy compare these heads with his signature Dookie Pedal

[@bonek350]

I was gonna start hatin' on Green Day until he pulled out Billy's worn guitar. That's the weapon of a warrior.

[@Jason_Andrew_Relva]

I’m glad you didnt

[@bobbarcus8310]

Saw them in 1994 just plugged into a 800 with that beat up Strat Sounded cool They threw a lot of grass and dirt at them

[@DerpDart]

Love this rig rundown. Gum smacking and all!

[@matheusabdanor8746]

AWESOME!!!

[@daddyosink4413]

A tech saying "I dont know" is scary.... with the gum smacking I honestly think that they interviewed the coke dealer that "kinda knew some stuff".

[@jakp8777]

Hey 2 different mics per cab? What kinda mics are they?

[@anthonysilva5312]

My $75k fender champ emulator

[@mykelc205]

Green Day rig rundown..who woulda thought

[@Thecarolinapiper]

Saw this years ago on rig rundown literally the same video

[@Heka41]

That guy sounded like a bull about to mount farmer browns cow in the back 40

[@asherbeal8357]

Cocaine.

[@houseofshred3725]

2:35 Holy crap the tone knob on that BD-2 is cranked. RIP ears.

[@BETTER.ART.]

Why this reupload?

[@reverb508]

I want a “Gum Rundown”. What you chewing, bro? Big Red? Bubblicious? Fruit Stripe?

[@dragoonphotography5847]

CHOMP CHOMP smack CHOMP lick CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

[@RhythemNBlues]

Painted a vintage Marshall cab! OMG!

[@donaldmoser212]

Exactly!

[@jacobgainor5219]

They're 90's reissue marshalls, not vintage.

[@lastgreathand-drawnproduct3843]

Seriously, I was actually bummed as hell when I saw that pink job on the PETE head (yes, I read that sentence). That amp's appearance with those two white Es was legendary.

[@peelarat9578]

Why didn't he throw away that gum .

[@chaz32]

one of those unfortunate occasions where nervousness comes off like priggishness, interesting mods regardless I bet they sing.

[@joakimjensen249]

Released 16 h ago? New Clip? Pressing play and hear the smacking. Nope.

[@mikelawct]

Gum

[@asherbeal8357]

That’s blow. The Gum came after the rails.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i didn't like this rig rundown much cos it was just hans chris and eden talking over the gear that the members used i never like when the road crew do the gear, it takes the fun out of it IMO. and yes i was slightly annoyed by hans chewing the gum. still it's a good video either way

[@samsantanamusic]

It’s not always easy to get the actual artists to do the rundown. They might be busy. But of course it’s a lot more fun when the artist can do it.

[@mikemaz6121]

I feel like most of the time when the guitarist is doing the rundown they rarely even know what gauge strings they play haha

[@Danielrunion]

I really enjoyed listening to him chew his gum with his mouth open. Gross.

[@OldRunt]

Me too. Classy. Thanks guys.

[@adamziolkowski2549]

I wish they would just stack the cabs with the heads, the old school way....

[@dinnerwithcats]

Why?

[@thejusticeization]

All this to play "punk-distorted power chords?

[@Jaidezilla]

You're doing an interview. Spit the gum out.

[@brinepacer]

He's breathing like he uh inhaled some of that pick powder, so he probably needs the gum.

[@asherbeal8357]

Way too much blow to remember.

[@Mamo878]

Huh, didn't know they hired the intellectually disabled to help out with gear when on tour.
