Rig Rundown - Black Pistol Fire

[@teunputker]

"Yeah man" - Kevin McKeown, 2016

[@mikedfurman]

He's excited to talk about his gear. What would you say if someone took the time to talk to you about your gear - "No , man."?

[@teunputker]

I wasn't negative, he just said it a lot. I loved the rundown and the guy.

[@coffeewaldo]

+Michael Furman I'd get my gear terms right. Neck pup is the one near the NECK. Solid state guitar? Funniest gear review ever.

[@kevinjamiesonbelou]

Drinking game Everytime he says "yeah" take a shot.

[@maciejqas7515]

yeah man, that's right

[@offdutyjie]

That's fucken great! What a genuine guy! Just awesome! His sound is the perfect mix of the Black Keys and the White Stripes! It has the White Stripe's chaoticness and unruliness mixed in with the Black Key's Riff beating - soulbound flow. Just awesome! Hope these guys get real far! Digging their sound - just found em today!!

[@elephantricity]

Love to play it on the neck pickup. (points at bridge pickup)

[@MoneyBooBoo]

lol

[@enrictarrago]

polo y no lo es el mismo que a partirp el pop ooo ooo

[@coffeewaldo]

I know every single guitar and every single time he said it. Correct him maybe? So he doesn't sound well uninformed. It's the BRIDGE pup!!!! I hate that sound btw nasally. Sorry.

[@Jakeman90210]

3 times

[@tomsy49]

Man I love when they play through the rig and give examples of pedals in their songs!

[@ErichWK]

I like Chris Kies. He sounds stoked and has a good speaking voice. More of him, please.

[@mariocaceresg]

Besides the mistakes naming things, the guy was really cool, achieved a great sound, and was very glad to show and share his stuff. Very interesting!

[@dbo4506]

Mario Cáceres this is what happens when you focus more on playing then you do on your equipment... you end up on rig rundown with no idea about your equipment outside the fact it sounds killer. I admire it.

[@soundpainter2590]

Yeah.. he seems like a "Nice guy" That's Great !! But an Unreal, Oh my God ! How does he do that ? Kind of player ? Are you Kidding me ? Just being REAL. I think he has that possibility in him...

[@richieknight5423]

He doesn't give a shit about an amateur noticing mistakes. He has bigger fish to fry.

[@RJD18437]

How about an updated rig rundown for Kevin on the new Deadbeat Graffiti tour?!? Pretty please?! 🙏😊🤘🏽⚡️🎸

[@talmagesharp4906]

I second this!

[@elijahleighton1390]

knew he was a jack white fan. probably why i like them so much

[@dons8764]

I live in Austin and I’ve seen BPF prolly 20 times before they blew up. Met them several times. Super genuine guys. One of my favorite live bands.

[@mikedfurman]

Love Black Pistol Fire! Sweet to see a rig rundown of a guitarist who's part of a duo. That Casino is baller!!

[@bengalvin9932]

I LOVE IT WHEN THEY PLAY THERE GEAR THUMBS UP!

[@premierguitar]

Win an Epiphone Sheraton just like Kevin's: www.premierguitar.com/blogs/4-win-stuff/post/24483-pg-giveaways-black-pistol-fire-epiphone-sheraton-ii-pro

[@TheDans7300]

You guys are awesome!

[@thecrappyguitarist9597]

Nice to see someone using epiphone guitars.

[@ia9518]

i like this guy. you can tell he enjoys talking about his gear.

[@adamhumphreys9605]

I love me a good soapbox neck pickup on my solid state body guitar

[@coffeewaldo]

Lol😂

[@thenewmedic]

ROFL

[@bigkev705]

Chris Kies is a very gifted interviewer/host. Professional, but able to relate, and has a passion for what he's doing. Keep up the good work, Chris! And PG, give him a raise!

[@briandarabaca]

Most of the comments here are from so-called experts, haters or wanna-bes! Geez! I'm just glad to know some of these artists who have great attitude and gladly show their gears.

[@jessemorgado1297]

"Yeah man"

[@SuperRoggerRabbit]

Would love to see more rig rundowns on the new bands coming out, its so cool to hear the new sounds, fresh minds get out of vintage gear with new gear ... very nice! Thanks PG

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Never heard them before but based on Kevin's personality I will seek them out.....very chill attitude!

[@scorp4165]

Thanks for your time kevin. You deserve far greater publicity.

[@bencousins4687]

That solid-state Gibson with the soap boxes, set all the time right back on the neck pickup! (mini humbuckers not man enough)!

[@bencousins4687]

+Derek soooooo he should know the name of the tools he uses for a living at least as well as an amateur.

[@SuperRoggerRabbit]

I think this guy is way down to earth and very cool, humble dude. thanks for the interview! who cares what the name is, he certainly knows how to use his gear which is what counts.

[@philwilliams6042]

awesome band, awesome sound, awesome upbeat attitude to the noise he is making

[@rayg3583]

I own 2 Epiphone Casino's and they are great guitars stock. I put flat wounds 11's on one to get that really classic jazzy/vintage sound and 10s on the other. Epiphone is such an underrated guitar.

[@evanloken19]

Saw them at the Metro last weekend. Great show. Welles was a great opener too! He played an SG with PAFs which had a great amount of grit and dirt, but it was a tight and controlled distortion. The Gibson Firebird with P90’s had a nice “roasted” sound to it. Less clean cut. Awesome video!

[@jlich17]

I recorded both Welles and BPF, if you want the audio to relive that awesome night. Nerdy hobby. I was watching this video and saw your comment, small world.

[@krispatel1]

I hadn't heard of this band before. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight then

[@dbo4506]

Stumbled across this guy on Spotify this morning... today is a good day! Thanks for the killer riffs dude 🤙

[@davidleslie1127]

Great rig rundown. Love that he gave actually playing examples.

[@darkopage]

Loves the drive channel on a Fender DeVille?! Now that's a first.

[@parathy84]

Awesome band...

[@tMatt5M]

I prefer the tube bodies over sold state guitar bodies.

[@coffeewaldo]

Lol

[@kevinklien90]

Lol!!

[@gregmock6808]

Casino is my number 1 as well....I love his guitar collection there....that's a sweet looking Gretsch

[@jpweidemoyer8544]

Is it possible he has had his switch reversed between the neck and bridge pickups? I' have seen that on guitars already.

[@brendanfowler4131]

Yesssss!!! I've been looking forward to this video for so long.

[@offthestreetsproductions]

saw them last week in Biltmore great show! can not wait to see them again. Love that he name dropped my town of Asheville NC! hope they come back through Asheville soon . I have some videos of theirs on my channel along with some ALL THEM WITCHES

[@darenanderson3608]

Great interview. I like the band and think Kevin is down to earth and cool. No arrogance in that guy!

[@MorganJaneP]

Take a shot every time Kevin says "yeah, man" (DISCLAIMER: Don't do it, you'll die of alcohol poisoning)

[@mark130471]

Awesome sound, thanks for the run down and will be keeping an eye our of these guys for sure.

[@eddiemautone209]

😊😊😊😊i have a left handed csino its great good looking guitar also i been singing and playing guitar over 55 years Epiphone guitars are great good price also

[@JohnnyRock]

Nice!! He's got the solid state body with soap box pickups!!!

[@seanmanion6130]

Need to an updated video on the latest gear he’s using!

[@aitken1965]

I love that he uses working class gear. Very cool rig rundown!

[@overnightgrowth]

Good stuff, love this band!

[@bananabonzai27]

3:00 "solid state body"

[@Chilinoploppy]

😂

[@mikedfurman]

It's live, sometimes your words get mixed up. He plays it like a boss, he can call it whatever he wants.

[@mikedfurman]

It's live, sometimes your words get mixed up. He plays it like a boss, he can call it whatever he wants.

[@Chilinoploppy]

Michael Furman Take it down a notch Joyce...Nobody put him or his playing down. It was a funny mix up is all.

[@bananabonzai27]

+LKJ 69 +1 on that

[@panhandlegeardemos6837]

Never heard of these guys before but checked them out thanks to this video! Thanks for showing this! Seems like a down to earth cool guy which is always a plus!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

That 57 Gretch is sick.

[@bengalvin9932]

oh yeah gibson just gave me this firebird!

[@justindoss8917]

Awesome middle class rut shirt another fantastic duo as well props

[@rogeriusrex1]

Do they reverse pickup selectors in Canada? This isn't the first Canadian I've seen mix this up.

[@coffeewaldo]

Haha no.

[@michaelp9513]

Great band!

[@missiontotransition641]

Never heard of the player or band..found this clip doing a search for recent uploads of EPIPHONE CASINOS. I'm impressed that a MIK is his main axe! They are great guitars, I had one , but sold it for a Strat that I didn't bond with ...at all...now, looking for another Casino. Got to check this guys band out here on YT.

[@anewstatic]

Why does he keep referring to the bridge pickup as the neck pickup?

[@losrogers13]

I'm thinking he means Bridge pickup? But hey, Solid-state bodies is a nice change.

[@webseiter]

Folks from Canada are just different... ;-)

[@Chilinoploppy]

+Alexander Langer We apologize...

[@coffeewaldo]

+Alexander Langer my wife's Canadian and she even knows that's not the neck pup. Because she's forced to listen to me talk about gear that she could care less about. They're very polite. Well sometimes. 😉

[@atothek302]

By neck pickup he actually means the BRIDGE pickup. Just saw them in CA, and he was riding the bridge the entire show.

[@xavsell]

Hey guys, how do you control the feedback on the Casino! I jam with a few guys and every time i ad a bit of gain and volume on my Rocker Terror 15 it just feedback like crazy. I've heard of people stuffing the F holes with paper/rags etc, but how do BPF and Gary Clark Jnr make their Casino' growl with awesome fuzz without having the annoying feedback?

[@davidlizom7556]

Yea man

[@anewstatic]

Changed the tubes maybe twice since 99'? I'm sorry but what??

[@bengalvin9932]

neck P90 sharp?

[@alelollipop1903]

Great guy, great taste

[@ArthurStone]

Nice set-up. Thanks : -)

[@ozzypdf]

You guys have to do a rundown for Guns n' Roses!

[@Arjunandthevectors]

love em saw them in nyc

[@67goldtops]

I love that he's got the bass at 10 on the Super! Outstanding.

[@jonathon1334]

Ha! @ 1:15 had to do the same thing to the input jack on my 94 mik Sheraton

[@lucasdaspinheiro]

Yeah! Love this guys! They´re awesome!!

[@jpvvandermerwe87]

I s'pose me meant to say, bridge pick up when he pointed to the P90 ?

[@Doininit]

I've got a sweet early 90's sheraton II which I love. However I can hear this weird frequency when I record it.. any ideas?

[@MetaFootballTV]

Love these guys.

[@CJ-sx7lt]

Wanna know about that copper mic ??

[@carson3223able]

what r those shoes?

[@SwampBluesKara]

Does anyone knows how to make the daisy chain with the amps?

[@badsanta518]

I wonder if he knows the difference between the neck and bridge.

[@coffeewaldo]

I'm thinking no.

[@Jakeman90210]

I love solid state bodies

[@Kingsu451]

Was this before that 70's show?

[@Chilinoploppy]

Cool tone on intro song

[@kristoferhill2827]

Yeah, man

[@Ricardo_Samano]

can anyone give me an ID on kevins boots? thanks

[@Laustify]

How about a David Gilmour gear run while he is still on the road?

[@2und2sind4]

whats the song in the intro?

[@kuehlschrank78]

black pistol fire - hipster shakes

[@2und2sind4]

Thx

[@driesduyck469]

They sound like the black keys !!!

[@akima21]

whats the song? (intro)

[@ajstyles5914]

Black pistol fire

[@andreimihaila9829]

Hipster Shakes

[@accidentals_hacks]

Bridge pickup, not neck.

[@dantebbitt4700]

has anyone done a "yeah man" counter

[@Shawnie23Williams]

Please do Two Door Cinema Club !!!!

[@natitaub]

Cool band! But I had a twitch every time he called the bridge pickup - neck and vice versa

[@Chilinoploppy]

it's funny when people refer to "things" as "this guy" lol!

[@kindnick58]

cool rig! siiiiiic pants!

[@liamgallagherrr]

More run downs like this

[@michaelnarainsamy3670]

Sold when he said he's a fan of Jack White

[@thomasprice1760]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DatMetalBoi75]

Either Iron Maiden or Sixx:AM

[@arlowallace7775]

RIP South Austin Music

[@Astral_Wave]

wonder how badly chris wanted to correct him. I mean after saying neck pup like 3 times referring to bridge anyway lol, whatever

[@Blockheadgamer97]

I'm new in Asheville... WHERE THE FUCK DID HE GET THAT GRETSCH

[@MrBingping]

Running a deville through a twin? What?!

[@jg932]

He uses the deville as a preamp, then uses the twin as his power amp

[@nukeboy9994]

Adam Cole BAYBAY

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Please, do Jimmy Page somehow.

[@250frederic]

That is a big ceiling fan.

[@soundpainter2590]

The "Solid State" Body & "Soapbox" pickups... O K.... Also, ESPECIALLY on a Hollow body. Most Good Guitar cable Manufacturers offer 90° angle 1/4 " connector on one end. This totally saves, Not only damage to Any Guitar, But makes "moving around" on stage (Or wherever) much easier! Not sure WHEN this "Plandemic" will EVER be Over... Ive been Recording & Touring for years. This TOTAL LOCKDOWN is Much more Deadly !!

[@itszaidihamid]

Please start using Marshalls Kevin.. That'll do you good.

[@hudsonhargrove7758]

New drinking game: take a shot every time he says "yeah man"

[@stephenowen3383]

Liver failure incoming

[@mikedfurman]

Can you fault a guy for enthusiasm about what he does?

[@stephenowen3383]

Michael Furman no not at all, just funny because he says that every 5 seconds. The band are awesome and he is a killer player so really who gives a fuck?
