3:36 onward. Dayum son. This is the stuff gods listen to.

[@Mlugo156]

@TeleMA50c I think that's it. His strings also appear to be a thicker gauge than usual. (Probably like 11s or 12s) To add more depth. Its a pretty smart way to make up for the lack of a bass.

[@theravenandkites]

Thank goodness for KEXP. Can't wait to gander through all these JEFF the Brotherhood videos.

[@kenmasters831]

is that kelso and eric foreman??

[@TheHungarianHustler]

Caught these guys when they came and played Meredith2011. And wow they were the highlight of the weekend!!!! hope they come back to Australia soon.

[@bl3005]

I missJBT :(

[@markbabin3753]

Did they split up?

[@RhinestonePickupTruck]

Just saw them two nights ago, they just released a new EP. They’re VERY much so still going! And better than ever imo

[@bl3005]

@@RhinestonePickupTruck I saw they were doing these dates just now, after they hadn’t done any playing for awhile. I live up in PA though and can’t travel farther than a couple hours for a concert so I’ve sadly never gotten to see them

[@TeleMA50c]

So is he using the bass amp in addition to the guitar amp just to add some depth to the sound since he has no bass player? I saw them open for The Raconteurs and he had the same general setup there, and it sounded like there was a bass up there with them. It was super heavy.

[@kcswain1967]

much love!

[@LoveMyMX5]

this was jakes old Ibanez guitar. But i think it got stolen a year ago or so. Now he has a tansparent gibson SG with half a pickup (Just the three strings). Pretty fuckin rad. Oh and i think they're ampeg cabs, not sure about the head unit though

[@mlopresti5]

the head is a sunn concert lead

[@imgonnagrapeyouinthe]

i need these tabs!!!!!

[@andrewsmith9727]

this band rules :3

[@keviwevi93]

i love how i can see them behind the smoke

[@southrules]

@DeathPullThePlug Admission is a good step toward help!

[@ACleverName17]

i feel like an idiot for not giving these guys a listen earlier

[@fatguyaaron]

Max Cavalera from Sepultura/Soulfly has been doing it for a couple decades except he had 4 strings, I bet you aren't doing anything significant in music right now, If you are comment with a link to your awesomeness, I'm betting you are commenting out of jealousy these guys are doing what they like to do and gaining notoriety. This is not the first genre I listen to but they are great at what they do, what are you?

[@TheHungarianHustler]

You need a Bassist for your soul because it come across as emty. Jeff The Brotherhood are a 2 and always will be 2. They Fucking rock live. TRUST ME im from the otherside of the world in AUS and they killed a festival show over here. and i mean KILLED!!!

[@asipaleadeci2.0]

OH MY!! I MUST HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN THE PAST O__O

[@MrViperpuppy]

wow!

[@hailmasch]

Wow. I just realized he was playing with only three strings.

[@sketchead2]

link me to the video where they say they think they're sonic youth

[@DeathPullThePlug]

@southrules thats truee...

[@asipaleadeci2.0]

dat 70's rock fuk yez

[@southrules]

You know why they're so fucking good... racoon tail

[@fatguyaaron]

agreed.

[@TheHungarianHustler]

They remind me of Wolfmother before they got massive!!!

[@manillascissor]

Tanooki Jeff

[@fatguyaaron]

By the way if you take the 3 high strings off there is in fact no "B" string.

[@duderdudeedoo1984]

Anybody know anything about his guitar rig? cant really tell what the guitar or amp is. Hamer? Idk.

[@mlopresti5]

the guuitar is an old ibanez guitar, and the head is a sunn concert lead

[@cam6389]

As much as this song is awesome. I think they need another guitarist. There's so many harmonies happening in the 'We Are The Champions' album. Makes so mcuh more rich.

[@DeathPullThePlug]

@southrules yeah two comments... i'm obsessed

[@nirvanaluvr7205]

His scream reminds me of Kurt Cobain's.

[@RonStrauss]

This is my first time hearing these guys and i don't know how the studio version sounds like but they REALLY need a bassist for live performances. This sounds empty.

[@calebdavis727]

Cobble cock רון שטראוס

[@deadkennedyy]

this riff sounds a little bit like black sabbaths paranoid, but who cares, i love it.

[@mexojay]

3-string guitar, just like PotUSA. Who needs 6-12 strings!

[@beatlezrawesome]

if they suck then why dont you leave and stop hating? thanks. we'd all appreciate it.

[@hailmasch]

@TheChimpvanzee Yeah... I'm pretty sure that was a joke.

[@DeathPullThePlug]

haha, it's cool man.

[@southrules]

Nah, it's 2013

[@596lizardking]

@98moshi no

[@NecroCuntPunter]

Too many arguements on here. I'm a musician and I can say that I have no disrespect toward any music. Just give it a fucking chance. You never know you might like it.

[@bagelbruin]

What the hell?

[@ACleverName17]

no

[@ACleverName17]

soundgarden sucks

[@twirkaholiczar]

Bored

[@DeathPullThePlug]

i admit the punkish sorta sound is pretty cool. but they need a bassist i hate these little two piece bands these days

[@DeathPullThePlug]

hahaha. sounds just like the black keys. cliche drums... cliche blues riffs.

[@calebdavis727]

andrew balgh and again cobble cockle
