Pete always seems so uncomfortable having attention be on him. I met all the Souls walking on the sidewalk of Asbury a couple weeks back. Honestly the most chill and welcoming guys ever. Stopped what they were doing, took pictures and talked to me. Not a “for a fan” chat but legit stopped and talked to me and hung out. Never miss a show when they’re around. Much love for the band and each of them! Solid dudes, all of them

[@JP-kq4jr]

@William Bieber The Souls were the last non-local band I saw before everything went to shit a year ago. They were on tour with Strike Anywhere and Bar Stool Preachers, and I caught the Boston gig. UNREAL show. I'm 35 and the Souls have been one of the only truly constant things in my life in the last 20 years. And I LOVEEEEEE the combo of Pete and Bryan''s tone. Their sound is one that can't be replicated.

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

I think he has a stutter, I remember my friend meeting him and saying he does

[@roymartin500]

That's a cool story. Good to hear! Thanks.

[@artkeelsme4710]

Finally!!! Great band, fantastic sound. How I spent my summer vacation is soundwise one of the best punk recordings in my collection.

[@patmccrotch5373]

I met 'The Pete' back in 2001 at warped tour, and what a sweet dude, he took 10-15 minutes talking to me, he understood how big of a deal it was to me to meet one of my influences and was insanely kind and open. I will always love his work and personality towards fans.

[@RushMayhemIV]

This dudes gear gets transported by pirates

[@Chucksguitargeekery]

This makes me so happy. Pete's Les Paul is the punk version of Willie Nelson's Trigger.

[@lptomtom]

Can't believe he's never broke the headstock

[@peterross8610]

​@@lptomtom the late 70's gibsons had a extra piece of wood called a a volute, which is a"bump" on the back of a neck, usually right at the nut. . they use a diamond looking piece of wood that is not "removed" in neck shaping. but, it's a bump, that adds a little extra strength in that most vulnerable area of the neck (the headstock/neck transition) by adding thickness. it helped neck snaps from happening. cheers!

[@lptomtom]

Ah yes, the volute, I heard that name in Norman Rare's Guitars videos!

[@HalJikaKick]

So true!

[@aaron4241]

Bryan's bass tone sold me on picking up bass as a kid.

[@palmtreecorpse]

How I Spent My Summer Vacation was one of my first intros to punk music, these guys are the music they wrote holds a very special place in my heart. Every time I spin that record it takes me back to being a teenager with no care in the world

[@StringBender567]

Being in the pit at this exact show, that wall of amps was one of the best live tones I’ve ever heard. No question.

[@gazzy_burns]

Thanks for covering a cool punk band. Punk is still my favourite type of music. More punk bands please.

[@floridapunkarchivist]

Was fortunate enough to open up for them once....super nice guys...love seeing punk bands on this

[@changeforgood100]

This guy seems like the coolest, nicest person ever. Love the played to death gear too.

[@brockvond1967]

If it ain't broke, don't replace it. These guys are still my heroes.

[@svtbass]

Glad you got the Bass Guy too. He was cool and informative. Thanks

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

The bass guy? 🤦‍♂️

[@svtbass]

@@jeremyrafuse5330 YEAH. The Bass player guy. I have no idea who they are . But this interviewer is the worst. He never gets the Bass player and drools like a wet panty groupie over redundant guitar crap that goes nowhere. Finally he did something right here.

[@JP-kq4jr]

I *will* go down to Jersey from Boston to get a Bouncing Souls tattoo from Bryan before the end of 2022.

[@jagermeister830]

Jersey Strong!! Go Souls Living legends Thanks guys, much love❤️🤘👍

[@veerchasm1]

I feel like I need a Tetanus shot looking at that rig. 👍🏻

[@77X42-c3s]

Bryan’s basses 😍 The wear on the front of his #1 is insane!

[@BucsRaysBolts]

One of the best rhythm sections in punk

[@clicheguevara9917]

bouncing souls and millencolin. so underrated!

[@calumstpauli]

Met these guys in New Brunswick 1989 when they were playing Chill Peppers style funk punk.Nice guys.

[@maddydamian7194]

i've got the same svt3, and i fully agree, perfect sound for recording

[@markkassabian7171]

Thank you guys for a huge part of the tunes of my life...keep on rocking

[@brandonrook9062]

The place in "Cleveland" is actually in Cincinnati "Mikes Music" is right next to Bogart's ...the vintage collection at Mikes is awesome

[@louie9373]

Ampeg crushes all other bass cabs. You can literally play dead strings into em and they still have great tone.

[@TheNelsonfromnelson]

The secret of my "tone" :)

[@matthewheinecke2621]

Nothing beats a sealed 8x10. Unfortunately, my old ass back can't handle them anymore.

[@jasonbruce8200]

Pete's shirt looks like it's as beat up as his guitars (said most respectfully). Seriously, Bouncing Souls has got me through some tough times. This bands attitude and demeanor are a great examples of how you young punkers should carry yourselves.

[@acidfilth2007]

"theyre bulletproof" *guitar slides slightly* "WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!"

[@brianbeattie4358]

10 on 10. More bands like this, please!!

[@robjgolde3221]

I’ve seen the Souls at least a dozen times, and their live sound is just killer. I swear Pete’s Les Paul and Bryan’s bass both sound a little bit better with every chip of paint that comes off.

[@BucsRaysBolts]

Pete is THE guitarist I think of when I see a Les Paul Custom

[@the_end00101]

this was awesome. love the bouncing souls. Rock Stars !

[@Benny_Howie]

So sick! I've been waiting weeks for this haha

[@groovyhippie1165]

Great Rig Rundown!

[@NickMass35]

I believe Mikes Music is in Cincinnati next to a venue called Bogarts. Its a 3 story building and its an awesome shop.

[@discountpsyop]

Mike's is here in Cincinnati! Right next to Bogart's. Mike is a good friend of mine and is an awesome guy. Great dealer and knowledge!

[@eliwebster509]

In the words of Dave himself, "it's pronounced like Pause or Cause damnit. Also it's Men-zing-ers. Stoked for this none the less! Honest mistakes there. Thanks for this.

[@xVANIDOSx]

Good episode, but I wish The Pete play his guitar every single amp one at a time, to hear the tone and difference. Same for Brian, even though I'm not a bass player. Thanks for talking to my favoirite band! Please do The Menzingers!

[@OhanaFilms]

This is the most Rig Rundown looking thumbnail that has ever existed!

[@DougCL781]

gotta do one for Hot Water Music.

[@pittbrat7963]

Marshall should give him a medal! Just shows how fokkin reliable these amps are(even reissues). Eat that Besa Moogie!

[@glassstooth]

“Produced some of my favourite bands!” *says Menzingers wrong*

[@louie9373]

Yeah I don't like the interviewer. When he isn't jittering all over the screen he's cutting people off mid sentence and it just seems like he needs to go do a line or something.

[@glassstooth]

That or he's just had one. Common thread in every rig rundown he does.

[@jimdown4374]

@@louie9373 I think he's always just genuinely excited to meet the bands and gets nervous. Id rather see someone stoked to be there than someone just trying to be cool.

[@jonorton4583]

And mispronounced Dave Hause's last name. (It rhymes with "pause")

[@rooftopboxer5970]

LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!

[@allstopblue5717]

One day I will finally smarten up and stop reading comments on rig rundowns. Always full of some serious assholes. Love the content Premier Guitar.

So cool !!

[@tfuband4252]

"The mezin-jers" 😂

[@clintn6677]

Do you guys(Premier Guitar) read the comments? One thing thats consistent is people complaining about Perry's interviewing skills and rightly so. He needs to slow it down a bit and let the artists talk. I'm not sure if he is coked up, nervous, or ADHD. I'm trying to be constructive. Just slow it down and dont force it. You can be engaging without talking over people. These are some of my favorite videos on youtube but for the love of god get John B to give him some tips on interviewing.

[@wolfey4138]

Clint Norwood absolutely! Perry means well but WTH

[@clintn6677]

@@wolfey4138 he seems like a good guy he just needs to make some adjustments

[@powercourageandwisdom]

@@@clintn6677 - Perry really does need to change his habits. I hate when someone talks all over someone. It's really unprofessional. He comes off as a speed freak. At least that's what I think every interview video he does. And it sucks 'cause I really dig these rig rundowns. I'm almost afraid that if an artist knows Perry's doing the interview/rig rundown ahead of time, the artist might back out and not do the interview because the final cut is cringe worthy. I hope he changes his habits.

[@clintn6677]

@@powercourageandwisdom in contrast John Bollinger(sp?) conducts these efficiently and respectfully. Perry has been doing these long enough that he shouldnt be nervous or have anything to prove. Some of these are painful to watch

[@powercourageandwisdom]

@@clintn6677 I am watching it for a second time right now and it is so uncomfortable the second time. I dont know of his sense of humor makes him say the things he says but he comes across as rude/insulting as well as tweaking his as off. It almost appears that there is mental illness going on as much as drugs(uppers). It's sad if you think about it. He is lucky to still have his job.

[@MikeyVonSwank13]

If these rigs aren’t the definition of punk then I don’t know what is

Now how about a Hot Water Music rig rundown......

[@acidfilth2007]

Coked out

[@leewestwoodmusic]

I'm generally not one to leave bitchy comments, but this dude always talks constantly over the people he interviews - very tiring, and probably results in missing loads of cool stories from the artists. Chris and John is where it's at, they know how to interview.

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

@Toxic Potato the other interviewers don't do it though. This guy is just awkward and all hopped up on something.

[@sollyharr]

that old cab would not have/still had vintage 30's in it...those 1960a cabs had G12T 75watt celestions ..i thought these interviewer guys were supposed to know their shit?

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

You can get 1960AVs or BVs that have V30s in the cabs. DERP.

[@redrum427]

You can play punk with a broomstick and a trash can lid

[@eatonturduckin8074]

Just saw them at the pony, stoked for summer tour!! Man it was a family reunion and I hated leaving Asbury to come home. Btw this guy interviewing is horrible. He seams annoying and doesn't know what he's talking about. My best friend painted brians place 2 years ago. Great job on his anchor out front!!
