Rig Rundown - Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes

[@swvastories3498]

When I saw the ABB back in 2004, he had on a shirt while checking out Warren's gear before the Allman Brother's set that said "I'm not him!" LOL!

[@TheSkuns]

Hilarious

[@youmanot123]

Warren Haynes says: "If you work for me, you must look like me." :)

[@gsoltis29]

It is pretty funny....I thought it was him for a split second at first - even sounds a bit like him

[@gyssedk]

Everybody needs a stunt double...

[@rwaggs81]

I know, I was like, "wait, that's not Warren... Is it? Oh, cool, it's not."

[@Fugettaboutit]

First thing that came to my mind as well.

[@KenjiKitahara]

i think they even share the same birthday

[@tMatt5M]

I read the news today on facebook. I immediately remembered this video, even though I haven't seen it in years. Rest In Peace, Mr Farmer.

[@simonfreer9076]

farmer was the only tech I knew that got cheers from the crowd, not just a few, but the whole crowd. miss you buddy!

[@cypressdobro8759]

they thought he was warren broskii

[@williamhoeweler2343]

They thought it was warren ,my god i had to look twice

[@robnamowicz8073]

Old interview, but this young lady lets the fellow speak. Well done, thanks.

[@AlienSexGod]

She's just eye candy m8.

[@PaulManningg]

Because she has no idea what to ask

[@richardbinder9662]

This is my first time seeing this. So sorry to hear of his passing. The dream guitar technician. Thanks for helping Warren achieve those beautiful tones.

[@SlapMyBass3825]

RIP Brian Farmer. He was a really good friend of my guitar instructor.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

SlapMyBass3825 ....where was farmer from ? I remember a guy played in a band back in the 90's. His name was Brian farmer.

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

@@whatyoumakeofit6635 Brian was from Tennessee

[@customdocuments398]

yea my uncle bought an avocado from a market owned by a Greek Orthodox scuba instructor who's best friend once waited on Farmer. Were all heartbroken as well.

[@srvmotoman]

This is an AWESOME rig rundown...Warren has been one of my favorite players for a long time.

[@KenjiKitahara]

RIP Brian Farmer... an awesome guy, with a great sense of humor. The world is not the same without you.

[@crusheverything4449]

Wowie, zowie!! Rebecca is a doll!! This was a great video! She let Farmer just do his thing and it was very informative and entertaining. What a fount of knowledge he was, indeed! He was hands down the most beloved “roadie” ever. R.I.P., Brian Farmer. You are missed.

[@drayve8590]

For some reason I feel like the entire guitar/music(Ian) world got jipped when we lost Brian Farmer! RIP Brian! I’m sure you’re up there in heaven helping the ABB roadies, and teching for Duane or any of the other greats up there!!

[@epodsassy1474]

I just stopped here to say, "Miss you Brian." Solid dude. real dude.

[@JasonCrownover]

I met Brian Farmer many times at Mule shows. One hell of a guy. He actually remembered me, I was really surprised! RIP!

[@LA90004]

Man, that guy really knows his stuff.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

*knew

[@JC-11111]

He was Johnny Cash's tech before Warren Haynes.

[@tomlawrence3991]

That's his job

[@AlienSexGod]

no he doesn't he doesnt even know that a Shure SM-56 doesn't exists he meant 57 many other basic mistakes he made. Bit of a moron really.

[@geojaco9875]

@@AlienSexGod Farmer *was* one of the most respected and knowledgeable techs in the biz. Do a google search on the SM-56 and then let us know who the "real" moron is. Here's a hint: It's you. And while you're at it, GFY.

[@mississippieast9028]

I had the pleasure of opening for Govt Mule once, got to meet all of them, and got to meet Brian, super nice guy.

[@trevinsimmons7049]

Am I the only one that thinks Farmer looked just like Warren? RIP Farmer

[@danieldavis7637]

Trevin Simmons We used to call him lil' Warren.

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

he used to wear a shirt that says "I'm not him"

[@JC-11111]

Yes. Not all white people look alike.

[@joshuahymer15]

No your not the only one. Obviously

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Wow, what an interview. And so sad to hear he has passed. But he was someone that kept Warren playing, so he was an ABB/GM VIP.

[@andrewschonert2413]

Great video. Met Farmer at a Mule show in Chicago. Gave me a set of Warren’s strings. RIP Farmer.

[@MrPickup12]

Rebecca is a good interviewer. Asks the right questions and doesn't interrupt. Jason is good too.

[@triple8dope0fresh3]

Straight up one of the most informative videos about guitar tech on youtube

[@JC-11111]

Brian seemed like a hell of a great guy. As highly as I read and hear him being spoken of, that's the only conclusion you can come to. He's dearly missed by many. The man definitely left his own incredible legacy, to be loved and revered, and missed as much as he is.

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I’ve watched this rig rundown a few times now. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t see the Firebirds.

[@rgellona]

I think he was Warren...

[@cypressdobro8759]

warren think he was i

[@trinimendo-humboldt8934]

Ren C. Farmer has passed on to the mule in the sky. Farmer kept Warren together

[@jessefillmore]

RIP Brian Farmer ! You're missed !

[@edwardz65]

Warren is the man, and Farmer is one of the best techs in the business! I've seen Warren a bunch of times with the Mule and the ABB, and his tone is always excellent. Very nice rundown!

[@mouloudo]

" this one goes to twelve!" with Nigel Tufnel's voice XD

[@rebelwithacause3574]

What a collection of beautiful guitars, wow.

[@KenjiKitahara]

Rebecca Dirks is the Best!

[@mathewdavies6472]

Easier on the eye than John bollinger

[@BillDerBerg]

I saw her first

[@ArkyMalarkey]

mathew davies : and ear.

[@JC-11111]

Still is!

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

I have a 1980 Marshall 4x12 slant with 65 celestions as well ,they only made those two years acording to the Marshall book

[@blubein]

That's the way a rundown goes! R.i.P. BF... One cool guy!

[@nightingalelaurence6092]

RIP Brian!

[@nowhereman3814]

@basjar2 Yes, the capacitance of the cable essentially does the same as the Tone control of a guitar which is reduce high frequencies. A Tone control is a capacitor controlled with a pot (variable resistor).

[@James_Barris]

Just saw GM last weekend in Reno, on 2 good GelTabs! What a show!!!!!!!

[@dustyorb]

R.I.P. Brian Farmer. One of the best guitar techs you could ever dream of....period.. and one of the most kindest guys towards fans.

[@Glockenator]

I still think that 12 string Les Paul is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen

[@gtrhero100]

Yes it is. Never have I seen or heard of one before. Makes me ask myself; Where have I been?

[@joeynice123]

RIP brother. He was so chill with me when I got to kick it backstage with guvmule.

[@rebelwithacause3574]

How did he die?

[@1rwjwith]

Best rig setup I have ever seen!

[@JC-11111]

Wow. Warren was still using this same pedal/effects setup basically on the later "rig rundown" that Brian Wampler did a couple of years ago. And Rebecca is/was gorgeous. Wow!

[@Bubbadew]

RIP Brian Farmer

[@gorgecoach]

One of the reasons I enjoy WH's playing is the Leslie in his road set up. I missed the section with that aspect? Did not pick up how the Leslie grabs signal in this road setup? BUT to learn about a 12 string Les Paul??? Way cool.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Who's not watching this for the first time?!.........(guilty)

[@AlanDavid]

Hey Brian -- former Atlanta Band Roadie many moons ago,,,great dude.

[@phydauex]

This guys's awesome. If I was ever in a position to need a tech, I'd want someone like him. Mellow, funny and knows his stuff.

[@rexhargrove5172]

Love the category 5 amps instead of monitors. And he knows that rig inside and out!

[@SaculNoshploda]

I was at this show! It started raining towards the end and it looked like Warren was summoning down the rain with his guitar, as his hair flew picturesquely behind his head.

[@lukewhited7089]

This was an excellent interview. Warren Haynes has incredible tone by the way.

[@obbor4]

Yeah, I remember being more than a few rows from the stage one time wondering what the heck Warren was doing setting up his own gear before the show? Wherever Warren goes, Brian goes...

[@tacratt6091]

I like how Brian talked and explained things to Rebekah, didn’t talk down or be snooty to her. He’s from Tennessee, most people from Tennessee and Kentucky are pretty nice people!

[@GibsonSGJKL]

Nice to see another Gordie Johnson SG. I've got one of those. I read there's only 50 that were made.

[@c6quad3]

RIP Farmer! you will be missed!

[@colefloyd1264]

in 2012 I was 9 years old I went to a brothers show (my first show) and said dad look it warren rip Bryan

[@BrentHarmon]

The need to do a rig rundown update on Warren's rig.

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

Thank you Brian!!!🎸🎶🎵🤘

[@TheGumbyfish]

Great interview! Good insight on the details.

[@maceindickson]

Love you Farmer! RIP brother

[@ChrisP3000x]

Being the guitarist's twin helps in getting the tech gig.

[@BlakeOCrockett]

RIP Mr. Farmer!!

[@RayRdr]

Thank You for this video..always wondered what mics Warren used on his guitar cabinets

[@TheGumbyfish]

What a great interview! Nice job.

[@tonypeps]

R.I.P. Brian Farmer.

[@CCmidwest]

I also recently got to have a short sit down with Warren Haynes out at his bus after a show ..His crew him everyone involved where simple type folks what i like to call long haired gentlemen farmers...

[@seismicdeathgrip]

Cool rundown, nice to see his setup, though I still think his "leslie" sounds were better when he was using the Korg G4 in the trio days.

[@jimiraybeckton]

Farmer was the best! How many guitar techs have a following?? He was a great man ✌🏼️

[@Head318Hunter]

I thought he was WH at first glance and I thought he referred to himself in 3rd person. "It depends what amp Warren wants..."

[@blizzbee]

lol indeed

[@JC-11111]

Rest in Peace, Brian! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jclev99]

R.I.P Farmer

[@willeng84]

First time I saw Warren live in concert I remember seeing Farmer walk out on stage and I laughed my ass off because I knew that HAD TO BE Warrens guitar tech!!!! It looks like his brother.

[@Noseheros]

@mattlocked I feel you

[@lloydriff]

wow!! he's got everything memorized, from connections down to the strings.. Amazing! and don't f@#k with the farmer! LOL

[@LordOfThisWorld74]

I want to see Derek's rig!!!!

at 8.46... that lp is the most beautiful in the world

what a nice guy That rig is amazing

[@tommy1gtr]

who picture is that at 2:25?? little milton?

[@aussiegooner]

@tookermel This is the best Rig Rundown for sure. Farmer actually knows what he's doing, is knowledgeable about all the gears and actually takes the time to explain everything. And he seems like a nice guy to boot. Compare this to some of the jokers who masquerade is 'techs' from previous Rig Rundown videos, like the guy who techs for Kings of Leon. The definition of a hanger-on who only got the job cos he's buddy with the band, not because he's any good.

[@NorthernStone1]

Farmer! Miss you man!

[@sorencin11]

Rebecca is awesome for rig run down

[@andrewt248]

Very interesting setup with each musician having an actual guitar amp as a monitor for what Warren is playing. With all of these rig rundowns it's like guitars/amps/effects blah blah blah, then there's a quirky little detail that gets my attention like the amp/monitors here and others where there's no cabs onstage; amps are running through iso-cabs... stuff like that.

[@angrygoldfish]

It's all well and good taking the highs out a your rig by using long cables, but it also takes away the dynamics. My Soldano Avenger hates long cables or two many TB pedals in front. It much prefers going straight in and using the EQ control to tame whatever frequencies you like or dislike.

[@LPCustom3]

I miss Farmer! What a great guy he was!

[@jeffholliday8304]

What a great guitar player he’s one of the few in the world besides Derek trucks they can emulate Dwayne like he should be

[@benjkparker]

always love the awkward goodbye/sign-offs

[@geraldbrown2875]

“Your on 11 here all the way up, where can you go from there?where? No where exactly, what we do if you need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? 12 exactly one more!” 😂👍🎸🇨🇦

[@DZibman]

any bass rig rundowns?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

there's a few i've seen which are also feautred in band rundowns e.g : Dream Theater - John Myung

[@tacratt6091]

She’s such a hottie! Warren’s rig is fairly simple compared to most, but he doesn’t need much! His talent stands for itself. He can take a Les Paul and a cranked amp and get the work done!!

[@toneshop]

Rebeccca Dirks....I love you :)

[@dominiquebex2817]

Rip Brian

[@widowmaker5544]

i dunno what happened to Brian, maybe he was injured in a crash, maybe he succumbed to an illness but one thing is for sure he was a lovely man and he always will be R I P

[@BrentHarmon]

I believe he had a Heart Attack

[@KeeperOfPoops]

@Brent Harmon poor guy, cardiac arrest is such a shame to go through!

William Allison well he passed away in his sleep, So there wasn't any suffering

[@widowmaker5544]

it was in his sleep? well at least it was peaceful
