Private Gear Tour: Kowloon Walled City

[@shelveDEMO]

The sounds these guys get on their albums, especially Container Ships & Grievences, are massive. The guitars and bass both are able to really breathe and stand out in their respective ranges. That bass sound....

[@Soundstorm81]

There's a reason Guitar World is covering this band. They're known for their tone in the genre in which they play. Container Ships is an outstanding album full of great tones, and it's interesting to see them using this level of equipment. Although I have seen them using Matamp (not cheap) on stage, Ampeg V4's and Peavey VTM's are excellent sounding rigs.

[@juanrules]

wow, I've never heard of these guys, but they sound like a monster tearing a city apart. sweeeeet

[@soybomber]

best gear tour ever.

[@blaksab73]

Their records can be downloaded for free. Don't miss them. And push the volume, the production is as excellent as this guy looks serious. Great work.

[@fiddelerselbow]

This is fucking great, I love how they can get a great tone without 10 grands worth of gear. And that Ampeg V4 of course.

[@dobby240]

"one of the pickups has been replaced with somthing that does the same thing but costs a ton more" xD really silly

[@JohnnyRestrayned]

Seriously that was some funny shit! Nothing beats a "men's room" studio that hasn't been cleaned for decades!

[@Christopher-wn4hy]

After all these years, they still sound amazing.

[@MikesBORED1]

These dudes RULE! I am a gear nerd but as far as it goes making your dollar go as far as possible rules. Ampeg guitar amps RULE haha cheap loud and dirty. I'm glad these guys poke fun at this stuff

[@blaksab73]

The bonus to this video is worth a watch

[@aazreaal]

One of the best videos on the internet imo

[@stevenalvarez5031]

"Cousin of Pearloid", comedic genius!!! and you guys are heavy AF!!! Love the tunes...

[@definegravitay]

lol very down to earth guys, happy to see people who aren't tone snobs for a change

[@FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

What is the name of the initial song?

[@juanrules]

this band's awesome, I like million dollar rigs, but i love to see gear musicians like us play.

[@EvanEli13]

I really like that Edwards Les Paul

[@vkr993]

Edwards are actually good guitars, its unfortunate gear snobs have to knock inexpensive gear.

[@quesoreuso]

do you guys have the new black cobra record?

[@ecoloqua]

I have no idea who these guys are. BUT....it just goes to show that YOU DONT NEED A LOT OF COMPLICATED CRAP. Some of the best guitar sounds in history have been just a cord into an amp. MAaaaaybe a pedal or two but thats it! All you people with racks of cheese just remember....no one in the audience can hear any of that crap. All those pedals do is just make you feel better. Plug in and rock!

[@Andersss]

Well fuck, if they like the sound they get.

[@jbouxa]

Do you have tremors? it looks like you just smashed the keyboard with hulk hands.

[@toxicity28]

@tectontwelve really Jag Panzer???!?!?!?! that sorta sounds weird to me, dont doubt it was a good show

[@FrancisJulien418]

Good sense of humour, I like that.

[@CarlPughGuitars]

@Ustinkdave i agree i have an ibanez fuzz and its killer i love it cost $55 and i build my own guitars thats sounds good as the $2000 guitars

[@MrSage22]

Where rig? Where equipment?

[@7heory777]

This was like 1 of the funniest gear tours ever!

[@GNRrockerdude]

I want a pedal that yells "TOOOONNNEEE!!!!" when I turn it on. I wouldn't even care if it did anything else.

[@geordiedog1749]

Mint!

[@joewattguitarist]

The point is this band are synical to being "interviewed about there rig" they probably respect the guitar world and guitarworld magazine so they did make an effort to show there equipment but still expressed there cynicism through the comments they made about there gear. His guitar actually does cost more than 500 dollars lets put it that way

[@bungdilly6333]

Or they're just sarcastic people doing sarcastic things

[@mastodon1314]

sounds cool

[@scottiev77]

I Gig with a VTM60, great amp

[@frenchicelandicpomel]

Just keep it simple and add some tone. Their music is kind of a apocalyptic sludge, very harsh and simple. This is all they need.. And yes, he's making a joke about all the "tech" guys who are always falling into the marketering of the companies and bragging about a 2000 USD shitty amp they bought.

[@GNRrockerdude]

yes i realize that

[@MikesBORED1]

These dudes RULE! I am a gear nerd but as far as it goes making your dollar go as far as possible rules. Ampeg guitar amps RULE haha cheap loud and dirty.

[@matthewflowers1759]

BUT WHAT IS THE TUNING!?

[@sethchafee6080]

Drop A#, all of their songs are in this tuning.

[@Majigitajog]

I think the high string is also in a# too :)

[@aazreaal]

Ye drop A#

[@branimirs]

!"I am, after all... a rocker." hahahahahahahaha

[@SufferDYT]

that wasnt the pedal

[@beenoopo]

lol this led is like looking into the sun

[@Guadalcanal]

They remind me of the The Chariot.

[@MrShizzleism]

Ian is a traveler of Time and Space, as you probably know. XD

[@Friiiiick]

Pickguards are tone. LEDs are tone. Hipshot bridges are tone. Cousin of pearloid inlays is tone. Beer is tone. Rhombuses are tone. Stupid tuning is tone. Everything is tone. More tone.

[@BenLubin]

Yeah, it's not 'boutique' gear but there's nothing wrong with the stuff they're using. At all.

[@davexpert]

dont knock his ampeg VT series.... one of the most underrated (and ugliest) monsters out there... if you ever see one on craigslist or in a shop, definitely check it out. also, very good assortment of pedals

[@panteraman32]

TOOOOONNEEEEEEEE

[@weareewancameron]

cousin of pearloid.

[@washburn7x]

@joewattguitarist agreed lol he probably did it this way so that he could go on youtube to luagh at all the comments

[@onemorestepandyoudie]

"for tuning to stupid" lol

[@SufferDYT]

lol just makin sure

[@theclosetshopper]

that's the funniest shit i've ever watched. great band.

[@felloweskraft]

Haha, mississippi wood fretboard with tofu burst. these rig rundown videos are always so pretentious, it's always like "yeah I like to keep things simple, let me show you the cabinets of bs that my tech controls for me"

[@Cakin]

***** ...uh no he did realize it and then his quote was referring to other videos.

[@joewattguitarist]

@washburn7x Exactly haha

[@drpibisback7680]

Kowloon Walled City sound fucking amazing. They may be snarky about it, but they have some of the best tones in the fuckin' business. More metal bands need to embrace the clangy Shellac tone.

[@AraGuitar]

haha, the music sounds pretty bad. but they're kind of funny :P

[@AkiraSpectrum]

hilarious.

[@branimirs]

Hahahahaha ,awsome shit.

[@CatalinbreadMechanismsofMusic]

Bahaha!

[@Viterkim]

haha this is soo funny

[@brownstone28]

Two words....Garage band

[@TonesScones]

i love his motto never spend more than 500$ on a guitar XD

[@H00ker1]

Hahahaha...epic..:-)

[@Carbonite2008]

ICEMAAAAAANNN XD

[@tinojams]

heh

[@Rafterman123]

Cousin of pearloid inlays.... Oh yea

[@corybrim7524]

Chill out Kowloon boy.

[@JeremyLam0]

lol its all a joke

[@muppanz]

"I refuse to spend more than 500$ on a guitar", worst thing I've ever heard

[@aazreaal]

Lol have fun wasting your money and still playing like an average middle schooler

[@seekah1]

Its utter shit, me either. How fucking depressing.

[@DestoTrading]

did they pay do get a gear tour filmed.....they don't look like professionals nor their gear is :D

[@BoeyChar]

that guy in the video really need to change his attitude or is he trying to prove something? The edwards most probably sounds better than his iceman

[@CesarThrashMetal]

GAY

[@ReVVVern]

worst gear tour EVER

[@seekah1]

It's either a joke or the worst band in history.

[@mathieur7915]

No one cares.
