Mastodon Rig Rundown with Brent Hinds, Bill Kelliher, and Troy Sanders Guitar & Bass Gear Tour

[@sketchstears5242]

this is the most sober and coherent I have ever seen Brent

[@bayleebrown8167]

Sketch's Tears it’s unsettling, honestly

[@gabrielalbo6911]

...and he does burp.

[@ZJtraylor]

I really didnt expect him to take it as seriously as he did. Super cool of him.

[@maxolydian9115]

Does the fastest Rig Rundown of all time

[@Endlessnameless803]

Probably because he actually enjoyed this instead of typical interviews

[@UBRLND-X]

They are literally the guys up the street hanging out in an open garage, guzzling beer. The ultimate dudes next door, only they are insane musicians.

[@drofnoise555]

true. threw football around and drank carlo rossi with brent in 2003

[@UnkleBen]

Yep, not so much Billy now but Brent Bran & Troy will still have a beer with you! Most down to earth "rockstars" I've ever got to meet .

[@jacktowers7533]

Gojira and Mastodon on the same tour Goddamn that’s a dream show

[@sleepinggiant4083]

If Opeth were there it would be even better.

[@NecroSage]

Saw that in 2014. Definitely one of my favorite shows I've been to

[@NickGroves-iv7mx]

Gotta say, all the pfp’s from this thread are glorious!

[@g.syit.p459]

Gojira, baroness, and Mastodon

[@g.syit.p459]

It happened once

[@para_bellum_1984]

Just imagine... the year is 2005. *phone rings* Gibson: "Hi, Gibson guitars, how can I help you?" Brent: "You guys ever made a Silverburst Custom Flying V?" Gibson: "No" Brent: "What the hell is the problem, then?" Gibson: "We'll make you one" Brent:" 'kay bye"

[@metalheadblues]

It probably went exactly like that tbh

[@patrickolivier1]

Probably sold it to him for 10Grand too

[@dydy0928]

Interviewer:"..very very cool"

[@swaffy101]

Of all the rig run downs I have watched Mastadon seemed like the most cordial and down to earth dudes ever.

[@yakplateado1923]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@truthisbest]

I went to their meet and greet at a show this year and they acted like they were as excited to meet us fans as we were to meet them. Very humble dudes.

[@CooperAATE]

The guys of Mastodon are just great people who write even better music.

[@veeingfly8924]

I had the pleasure of meeting them last year in San Diego, and they the nicest, most approachable people.

[@v33punk]

You should watch Larry Lalonde from Primus. You'll get the same Vibe for sure.

[@daredevil2724]

Idk why but Bill seems like the most wise down to earth guy. Just seems like a really cool dude.

[@SebastienGagnonlevrai]

He is, .meet him once after a show in Montréal, most down to earth man i known

[@daredevil2724]

@@SebastienGagnonlevrai cool to hear, he followed me on insta ideky lol

[@TheKille22]

I love when the artists themselfs do their own rundowns.

[@lp7216]

I would like to see their rig revisited, Bill has got some great new Esp:s and Brent has been playing a lot of cool SG:s lately.

[@baradalamasa]

Also Brent's Orange amp too

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Brent also is playing some sweet esp’s.

[@TheLastShipOut]

It's so nice to see rundown where the band actually knows what they're talking about

3:29 the envelop is way... burp.. more dramatic

I laughed so hard only cause this comment xDDD

"Paid very handsomely for it" Welcome to Gibson

[@rtmis1]

To the people mocking the interviewer, maybe he's just a bit nervous being backstage chatting with awesome (and famous) musicians? I suppose you guys think you'd be the very image of cool if you were in his place

[@Haiasiriku]

^

[@stephenowen3383]

He doesn't even seem nervous to me. Tbf I would be shitting it talking to them. Especially Brett.

[@azathoth0820]

Stephen Owen Brent

[@stephenowen3383]

oh yeah sorry haha I have a habit of doing that

[@TopherBlairMusic]

I'm not complaining about the interviewer, but I wouldn't be nervous backstage talking with famous musicians, and neither should anyone else. They're just people. No reason to be nervous.

[@mooferoo]

I think that's the most serious i've ever seen Brent in a video.

[@tarkenton3895]

We need an updated Mastodon rig guys. Considering how endorsements and such have changed for the band, it'd be really killer to see the modern setup.

[@patrickolivier1]

Yes!!! Slipknot as well. Maybe Alter Bridge too 🤘🏼🤷🏽‍♂️

[@easterdm]

Finally an interviewer that knows his shit!

[@mole62ssf]

This is an aspect I so respect and enjoy of musicians of Mastodon's caliber--their knowledge is vast. Yes, they create amazing music. Beat, sound, tone, complexity with lyrics that engage and hold me. But they're amazing humans. Every time I hear a member of Mastodon interviewed I enjoy it. They're solid, real. Nothing phony. They love each other and the songs. They're funny! Troy and Brann have made me laugh out loud on numerous occasions. Beyond all that, though, added to all of that, comes this language they are all fluent in. Listen to them talk about their instruments, all the parts of each piece, what each bit of gear does. I hear the same when they talk about the music itself, the facets of music composition. They aren't just players of great music. They're artisans.

[@KoffyGG]

There's a Gojira banner behind. Why isn't there a Gojira rig rundown? I DEMAND IT DAMNIT!

[@iambriannewkirk]

This^

[@magsuns7648]

Yenasty5 easter eggs lol

[@abond623]

Gojra use solid state amp modeling heads running straight into the PA system with only the switch pedals to go between pre-sets that come with those amp heads. You can look up their guitars and basses via google. *flies away

[@akshitjha6251]

A Bond What kinda bs are you talking about? They use EVHs.

[@kommissar.murphy]

Yenasty5 they go straight into zoom 505 pedals, on the factory settings.

[@supertzar]

mastadon kicks ass. i love their gear. especially that jag bass.

[@SmConnally1984]

Prolly one of the most normal interviews they've ever done lol

[@chrispygingerpie]

It's nice to hear them mention trying to put a good show on for the fans, subtle but shows their appreciation!

[@KevinBrighton]

Perry rocks. He's very honest, real and down with the gear he's talking about. I'd be stoked to talk a bit about gear with my faves.

[@ax_el_alvarez]

These guys are so polite and laid back. I already loved their music, now I cherish the band even more 🤘🏼

[@josephvassar9887]

I love these gig rundowns!!! You guys do a grand job, I find myself watching them over and over again. I've picked up all these small tips and tricks and it makes me look like I like I know what I'm doing haha. It would be grand if you guys did a gig rundown for Being As An Ocean!!!

[@seanm6667]

Bill gives his signature stuff the best names. I love them all.

[@flapjack413]

Wow, I've never seen Brent so well behaved on camera, haha.

[@drabbster]

Finally an episode that this reviewer did actually pretty well! Loving this one, thanks!

I've seen them live and when bill says they don't stop, he is not exaggerating. They're rocked and like he also said, I really vibed with it

[@iambriannewkirk]

I'm so glad y'all did another rr for mastodon even though the same thing happened like the last one. But thankfully we got see there whole rig for the most part. I hope next time we get to see all the guitars.

[@AdamAarts]

Thanks for showing the bass rig!

[@paulmildner6357]

This man's name is Bill Keliher and he's a god damn legend warming up on that guitar while giving an interview

[@linksayajin2958]

It's about time u guys do it again... Bill's rig changed a bit with the ESP's, and it's always good to see what Brent's playing...

[@tomyeats9497]

Anyone reminded of Skwissgar from Metalocalypse during Bill's interview? Just constantly playing.

[@1431darkblood]

Hahahahahahahaha yeah xD

[@chriskrausesmovie]

He's in the zone...he's innocent

[@tolchok89]

I saw them in Melbourne a few months ago, and the setlist there was the same setlist seen at 16:19...with the addition of Blood and Thunder at the end. And they were awesome - I might go see them again next time they come. Also, I can tell you (since there's no detail of that in this video) that Brent's Lucite V was used for drop C, his silver burst V was used for drop A, and for the D standard stuff, Brent used an SG.

[@matthewelliott9319]

I got to play troys signature fender in a bass shop in London. Absolutely amazing bass I would only change the fretboard from rosewood to maple though.

[@shawntyson4339]

Cool to see a pro playing a Mexican made bass and not some prototype we'll never get.

[@mrcoatsworth429]

I think besides his old P Bass, Steve Harris actually uses his MIM signature basses as backups and for smaller shows with British Lion.

[@florianbaiker5519]

did brent burp in the middle of explaining his pedalboard?

[@bishopm4401]

Yes

[@dazg4299]

It must be called a 'brurp'

[@craighambo]

It's an extension of his effects

Yes, and a hardy one at that.

I just got Bill's new 'Halcyon' Les Paul, probably the nicest electric guitar I've ever played and can't stop plating it! Really cool to see him with it and talk about it. Would love to get one of those JJ amps but that guitar ate all my money :p

[@NielsBeier]

You sure like Gojira, huh?

[@Jesse_Johnson]

Premier Guitar has a fantastic team. Perry is the camera operator for a lot of these Rundowns. He’s not super comfy in front of the camera. So what. He gets the job done. To all the armchair warriors who throw shade on him, shut up and get the in arena or just shut up. Great work PG!

[@hope_canyon]

Shout to wren and cuff! I've been using that pedal for nearly ten years, it's the best fuzz I've ever used

[@sleepless51]

[@baingr9000]

Noah Petersen True! Although, to be fair, he is right. I can only assume he's referring to the AGCFAD tuning they like to use (especially on Remission)

[@petersenoah]

Griffin Bain Oh he totally is. As a guitar player, my love for that tuning is only growing. Haha. I was just pointing out he was trying to cover his tracks. c:

[@topfloorstudio2684]

Yep. Brent said they use 10-52 with a 60 thrown on top.

[@dylancross4050]

1:46, Brann Dailor cameo.

[@andrewt248]

That's a tiny venue. It'd be awesome to see these guys in a small joint!

[@metalheadlazz]

andrewt248 I saw them at the Boston House of Blues(which even tho it's the biggest house of blues so far,it's still wicked small) and it was an INCREDIBLE experience. 20 songs of greatness real close up 👌🏻

[@ext93]

The first time I saw mastodon (w/BTBAM.. 2010?) was in a smallish theater with no open floor, all seats. It was awesome. I wanted to jump around but I was just as happy to sit back and be amazed by the musicianship

[@isexuallyidentifyasanovenm1617]

Btw brent said his vh4 was a 98 but that version of the vh4 didnt come out till 03. His amp is an 03 to 07.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

I remember doing a rig rundown with Brent before a Four Hour Fogger show (Troy was in that band as well). He had a Les Paul going straight through his amp and had killer tone. He said he did not like pedals at all and preferred an organic sound. In hindsight (Bent Hindsight - ha) I think maybe he did not have the dough (although here his pedals are pretty simple). He also did not play solos in FHF either (he did in another band Fiend Without a Face).

[@GnarlyGroove]

Such cool dudes.

[@pawneveryknight]

Gojira stage flag @ 4:58. I was lucky enough to see them both when they came to New Zealand together. It was a phenomenal night

[@stonegard]

Kvelertak rundown please! :)

[@MrBraduardo]

I’ve watched this so many times and I still laugh when Troy says Bill and Brent “from Mastodon”

[@robertmanes146]

I saw them in Savannah right after they released their first demo.. Troy was the lead on vocals and the tracks were much harder than they are now. They played everything from the first album and ripped, wish they maintained that sound instead of going more cerebral. For those unaware, Troy was also in a band called Social Infestation before Mastodon, more of a crust/sludge sound

[@Chabot1801]
