Lee Malia Of Bring Me The Horizon [Interview & Rig Tour] - That Pedal Show

We visit Lee Malia of Bring Me The Horizon to talk about his guitar sounds and gear at the band’s HQ.
Life too short for long KZbin videos? See ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ info below.
Welcome! In this episode, Dan and I load the TPS charabanc and head north to visit Lee Malia of Bring Me The Horizon. In case you’re not aware, BMTH are a phenomenally successful band who formed in 2004, having released six principle studio albums and won a slew of awards along the way. As we write this they are both Brit and Grammy nominated for 2020.
During the interview we get an insight into Lee’s world of huge production for giant stages and how that determines the gear and tone choices for his rig. We also get a look at Lee’s signature Epiphone guitars.
Massive thanks to Lee for making the time for us, and also to Joey for the tech support and help. What an awesome day!
Enjoy the episode!

This is why TPS is great. They get artists in regardless of genre to analyse tone. BMTH isn't my cup of tea much like Mick and Dan, but this was fascinating. I feel like Lee got a lot out of it too.

Thanks Guy. We were both genuinely fascinated by Lee’s take on things.... not least discovering once again that there’s way more that unites guitar players than divides us. Les Paul, Klon, Marshall, volume. We are all siblings at the end of the day!

[@musicmann1967]

I don't know the band Lee is from, Bring Me The Horizon, so I checked them out on Spotify. I was very surprised. The music did not sound at all like what I was expecting after listening to him in this video. The newest album is very electronica, and actually pretty chill. Some of the other albums have heavy stuff, but it's not by any means a strictly heavy sounding band. They changed quite a bit over the years. Very good episode, guys. Very enjoyable.

[@thepigeon6798]

they've changed A LOT, not a single band has gone through a more drastic change than BMTH imo, they've gone from deathcore to electronic pop. all tracks on their demo album and the first two "official" albums (Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season) consist of extremely heavy (for the time) songs, bar a couple exceptions. really interesting band with a lot of fun tracks, even though most of their newer stuff isn't my cup of tea

Ten times more informative and interesting than these technical blues guitarists you some times feature. The guy from Radiohead, Blur and now this, music not just a guitarist. Ace, learned loads and a genuine insight.👌

What a lovely guy. Soft spoken, humble, genuine.

[@whiskeytennisfoxtrot7356]

From an old time metalhead that watches your show, thanks for representing the metal. There is, actually, a whole lot you could talk about with metal tones. It's not just all Metal Zone sounds. There's tighter sounds, there's thick sounds, there's vintage sounds, there's gained-out sounds. Here's an idea for a show: 5150 style amp vs JCM 800 style amp. You could explore how each reacts differently to the different gain types (boost, drive, distortion, fuzz). You could explore how they sound with different distortion sources (amp vs pedal, or a blend of the two). And even though it's all probably been done before on dozens of other channels it would be nice to see it with That Pedal Show's enthusiasm for the exploration of tone.

[@theunexpectedua]

What a gem of a video! How come I've never seen it before? Loved to find out all the little details about Lee's playing. Now I know what makes him even more special) Thank you so much for this, TPS!

[@saedt]

I love Lee Malia’s playing, he reminds me that guitar isn’t always technicality and more about taste. Such a chill guy

[@gimmickmusic8827]

I think that the fact that Lee has no idea why he likes what he likes is kind of awesome. He likes what he likes, and that’s good enough for him. I’ve been obsessed with his tone since BMTH’s There is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It album. It’s so meaty and punchy.

[@SocksworthRiffs]

Lee's sound is monstrous even in the video, can't imagine it in the room. Man! Excellent video, haven't clicked so fast in a LONG time! P.S. Lee mentioning the looks like a 16 year old thing was fantastic

[@bKoelle689]

One of the most influential guitarists for me. Always love to hear what Lee has to say.

[@DrakeBergman]

A few takeaways I have from watching this whole video. 1.) I love seeing Dan and Mick's enthusiasm when it comes to a style that they don't know. It's refreshing to see people with a passion to not just be the teacher, but to take learning just as seriously. Absolutely phenomenal interview! 2.) Every interview I've ever seen of Lee he is very awkward and reserved, and that's probably just a character thing, but despite this one starting that way by the end he really opened up and got excited about what he was talking about with you guys and that was great to see. Not just that, but a testament to how great you two are at what you do. All that being said, keep up the good work gents, and I'm hoping to seeing more "heavy" music end up on this channel in the future!

[@TobysGuitarGearDemos]

This is one of the best guitar rig videos on KZbin. Amazing how much thought he's put into his rig, when most metal guys would stick a tube-screamer in front of a 5150 and call it a day 👍 Gonna be trying my Klon clone for high gain now!

[@andipetrikov7205]

one takeaway I got from this video: everyone could use a "Joey" in their life

[@stuartnarduzzo4868]

My two takeaways from this video: 1) The Klon circuit is just amazing. It can do so many things in so many different situations and always sounds fantastic. 2) There is a reason I love my Friday mornings and TPS. Dan and Mick continue to impress with these deep dives into touring musicians gear. It doesn't matter what the genre is, tone is tone and they are going to get to the bottom of it with smiles on their faces. Shout out to Lee as well, seems like a great guy.

[@erickwalsh9258]

Id love to see more artists bigger with younger audiences on the show - Arctic Monkeys would be a great one for me. Cheers from NZ!

[@taylorwyatt333]

I think it is so awesome that you guys did this video, I would've never expected you do someone like this. I'm primarily a metal player, with a lot of hard rock and some blues and classical thrown in there, and your videos have really helped me achieve some dramatic improvements in my tone and taught me how to get certain sounds that I just couldn't get without your videos. For what you guys do, there may not be that much of a market for you guys in the hard rock and metal community, but there are some out there that I'd love to see you guys do, John Petrucci being one of them, and yes he and others have covered his rig and pedal board, but you guys haven't, and you guys ask questions and bring up points that others do not. I don't think he'd ever do it, due to his reclusive nature, but Adam Jones would be another good one for you guys as well. Awesome video though, keep up the good work.

[@theblockyrocker9060]

Lee seems like a really cool, hardworking dude. Thank you guys for taking us along to meet him. Like I said on instagram, I haven't listened to the band in years, but I always love the perspective you guys get from your guests. I will give their new material a listen. Oddly, my tastes evolved to enjoy the even more heavy and absurd technical death metal, and other noisy sub-genres. When I pick up my guitar though, I'm usually playing bluesy rock stuff.

OMG an hour of Lee content! Great video! (and it was uploaded on my birthday! Yay!) I love Lee. I like how you guys can keep the whole episode running without any awkward moment. Lee is usually quiet but in this video you made him open up more to share many interesting things. I'm new to electric guitar and I learned a lot from this episode alone. (Yes, I just learned that I hold pick the same way Lee did... and it's the wrong way to hold one. Oops. Also kudos for the timestamps. They help a lot) I might get his signature one day. Anyway I found it adorable when he said that people at the club thought he's 16 lol. Forever baby-face! Good to hear that apart from touring with his band he still does cover and plays at the club from time to time. Now I kinda wish that he would release some cover video for fun or start a class, it would be a dream come true. Great job, guys!

As someone who has grown with BMTH since their first album, I have always dreamed of this video. I can tell you guys are genuine in your interests and didn't write him off as some typical "active pickup 5150 player". You really took the time to know his rig, and more importantly, him as a player/person. Lee is always so quiet in interviews but you could really see him come alive here. He couldn't stop talking about his guitar and tone and his passion really shows. You guys definitely got a subscribe from me and I cant wait to go through and watch all of your videos!

[@utai4571]

fantastic episode! i didn't know the band at all, i'm glad you go out of your way to meet people outside of your genre of music you usually do it's amazing! I really like the fact that Lee is talking about using real tube amps, the dynamics it provides, and using less gain, and standard scale guitars! Myself, i'm playing in C standard, not metal at all, i just love playing really love, but i really don't enjoy playing a baritone scale, or even a 7 string neck. There is a sound to a standard scale guitar tuned down that you don't find on others, also the playability is still the same, nothing changes but the key. I think Ariel posen mentionned something similar in your episodes with him. Really really enjoying this episode!

It was freezing!

@@ThatPedalShow , what is it with metal and cold? All the metal bands from Norway and such. Maybe the giant stacks and colliding air molecules keep them warm. :-)

I enjoy this episode so much

[@GC-ji3ye]

This sound is not in my wheelhouse but I learned SO much. I love the variety and the new sounds. Inspires me to broaden my horizons. Great episode!!!!

[@MrJMoneyKill]

very inspiring interview. I've always loved his playing and sounds, and finally we have a long form interview to hear him talk about his tones. Awesome video. My band @gloomchild is playing our second show ever tomorrow and this has given me a lot of inspiriation for the show. BMTH for life

[@_Heinle]

This was fascinating! I do not generally listen to BMTH or other bands of this genre, but this episode was fantastic!

[@willjohnson2511]

I feel like one of the few people who watches TPS and loves BMTH. What a brilliant interview. I especially enjoyed the open mindedness shown when given an insight into unfamiliar genres. Just brilliant.

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers Dan, Mick and Lee, most refreshing. Hell of a rig, hell of a tone. :)

[@71goaliemask]

That was great! Interesting as much for Dan And Mick's reactions, as for Lee's setup. (I have a Klon clone that my wife bought me which is dirt cheap and to what's left of my hearing sounds great... ) have to agree that a heavy sound does not always require tons of gain. This is the kind of highly varied content that keeps me coming back. My kids like BMTH, I'm going to check out their stuff. Brought a smile to my face on a snowy Ontario morning. I could stand to see more stuff like this, have to admit I thought the blues comment was pretty funny,

[@colourwavestudios]

I wish every interview was this good. The tone is amazing and he is a unique musician.

[@jrchanning]

Brilliant episode, nice change being away from TPS HQ and you both doing something different in a new locale, loved Lee's playing and on the strength of it just purchased the last 3 BMTH cd's !, loving the new music, it would be a great idea if you guys did the same again now and then with other guitar players, variety is the spice of life !! :)

[@samhatman6536]

Sooo worth the time to drink all this in! Gonna go to work and get right back to this tonight. Lee, Mick,...Dan, thank you for selflessly sharing all you do and how you achieve results. Helps me move (all of us) forward every time I stop in. Later!

[@d0-.-0b]

25:07 fuck me, lee's sound is beautiful man. took me right back to 2010.

[@chriselt777]

I grew up listening to BMTH in high school a year after Suicide Season came out. I was 17 back then. Been a fan of them ever since

[@grega1207]

Thanks Dan and Mick, it's always a learning experience on your channel and I appreciate all you guys do for the guitar world. I've had two serious concussions, both nearly fatal, so between the constant tinnitus and the other symptoms, I cannot listen to Lee's heavier stuff for any length of time before migraines kick in. His cleans and ambients though are really nice and were very surprising to hear from him. The stereotypical "death metal" player he is definitely not and his variety of playing was nice. Once again I learned that most of the time the gain is not as much as you think and once again the "Klon" is absolutely amazing!

[@adamsedgwick3539]

I absolutely love this video = I think this is at least the 10th or 11th time I've watched it! Dan, Mick - you absolutely nailed this interview and Lee is such a lovely dude!

[@mattrector431]

never thought I'd see Bring the Horizon dude on That Pedal Show, and love ya'll the more for it. All 3 of ya are legends!

[@jonathanmackie4884]

On behalf of myself and the other 2 viewers not familiar with BMTH, thank you TPS. Once again you have broadened this old boomer's musical (pun intended) horizon! I've already started checking them out and plan to buy some physical format material. Whaddya expect? I'm a boomer! The only digital download songs I have are the two by you guys.
