[@coopersteele2324]

You guys really need to do a rig rundown for Feng suave

[@TunedToDoom]

These guys are so wholesome and they sling the gnarliest Sabbath-esque riffs you've ever heard.

[@MTC312]

Facts

[@TheGnob27]

Rufeless riffage

[@SxSxG666]

Yes they used to. First two albums are great then it became a less good copy of themselfes.

[@Louzahsol]

I mean, sleep exists

[@TunedToDoom]

@@Louzahsol Sleeps draws influences from Sabbath but isn't really in the same league. Their riffs don't carry the same type of energy. The Sword is basically Sabbath's bastard child.

[@Matthewtaylorn]

You always remember when you first heard The Sword. Love these dudes.

[@stephensoneducation]

Kyle, I will miss you slinging tasty Sword riffs but I'm excited to see what your future holds. Carry on being awesome.

[@pascTV]

Yes, it has arrived!! Great to see The Sword back on stage, and kudos to PG for making this Rig Rundown happening!! 🤘🏻🙌🏻

[@premierguitar]

Rock on!

[@satanicritesofdrugula3893]

Serio holmes

[@howdydoughty7634]

I’m so happy this band is still around I love them

[@jacobkirkbride1581]

Glad you guys got them back on here! Seeing them back on tour with Primus was amazing. Was pretty nervous when they took their hiatus. Loved Used Future and High Country, but their first 4 albums are stoner/doom perfection. Glad they played those songs on this tour.

[@garrettboomerbender]

The bassist is such a cool dude

[@firewitch9531]

I met him a couple of times, he's the most down to earth and nicest musician I've ever met!

[@jaredperkins8066]

Good dude, but I swear he looks evil sometimes on stage live. Killer band too.

[@alexmojcher9]

It's always so interesting to see the different approaches guys take. The first guy has ultra hot pickups which boost the bass a lot and obliterate dynamic response, and he had to accommodate by getting a brighter cab. The second guitarist has comparably low output PAFs. Always fun to hear what these pros play.

[@JCDenton95]

Sword are so underrated. Great band!! ⚔️

[@eliberdinner4808]

I really appreciate the integrated ad at the beginning of the video, much better than having a random truck commercial pop up in the middle of the interview.

[@zakmoon7065]

I saw these guys open for Primus in Orlando Florida and they rocked the stage!

[@Clabian96]

Glad I got to see them with Clutch before they decided to call it quits... these guys are one of the most monstrous live bands I've had the pleasure to witness!

[@ricjenner1120]

Great Band! Saw them play the night before this was recorded and they blew me away - the whole band seemed locked in and excited to be back on the road.

[@Toddythetiger22]

I sold Kyle's micro pog to him at South Austin Guitar Center!

[@KalosPVP]

Sorry to hear that.. the guitar center part.

[@Toddythetiger22]

@@KalosPVP haha i'm not there anymore

[@joshliftsandrums]

They all seem a lot happier now and that's great to see :) looking forward to more sword in the future 🤘🏻

[@ShredForth]

I bought the digitech drop to do exactly what he’s doing so I could jam to their songs….. my guitars are in Eb and I think it’s my favourite pedal now. It tracks pretty well.

[@telecatsermaster]

Great band.

[@brockvond1967]

I can lose myself in that Taurus Pedal for ages …

[@MichaelBogomolny]

Cool! Love the Sword, good to see them back in action \m/

[@acynecki]

great video. they guys did a great job explaining why this years rig is different from past years. Very interesting

[@philgallagher1]

When the Bass Player hit the Taurus pedal the first time it was simply Rush-in-a-bottle!! Sounded fantastic!

[@johnymartin5411]

I love these guys , there probably the reason as a bass player I chose a 30 year old Gibson les Paul in C standard (them and sabbath) and the reason I have a 120 orange in my living room.

[@Opethias]

Schutt nailed me with a pick in the chest at one of their smaller gigs in Portland, didn't get to pick it up before some other guy picked it up lol. These guys are killer live, def a band I want to see again.

[@iamslav6158]

Saw them live at the beacon, absolutely phenomenal

[@epasternak4206]

I've seen these guys so many times, the first time was a surprise as I didn't know who they were. I was a fan from that day forward

[@DareBear2099]

My first big boi amp was a Laney AOR 100. Loved that amp. The push/pull knobs I always thought was super cool.

[@armoredpineapple]

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BAND!!!!

[@groverjuicy]

What a seriously nice bunch of guys!

[@natronbetticus]

bob balch can shred. that alpine burst looks sick

[@jonoftheford]

Google's Taurus price then slowly backs away.

[@Mudcreekmedia]

Made a few dirtbike videos with their music. The sword is #1!!!

[@dustinblock9186]

Hell yeah i seen them in 08 with Down and Metallica, I'm sure glad to see them again. They are so their own band that you wont find again if they were gone. that concert was life changing🤘

[@mgeeinc.4270]

that is one crazy fuckin line up wow

[@Creed_fan_69]

Perfect I just loaded my bong and pulled up youtube and this appears. Bitchin.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Damn I love that sound!!! That reverend is beautiful! Love the rig run downs

[@ehambright]

Killer run down yet again!

[@wrenchhead4378]

Great great band…. Saw em live in Raleigh NC

[@deadlegs187]

A great bunch of lads

[@BigFuzzyLHG]

Dimarzio 36th, my favorite pickups ❤

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

The neck pickup is pretty sweet

[@ascendtranscend3812]

love this band! you guys gotta do one on Gran Hechicero! I can't understand how that guy gets his tones, it's mind bending for me to ponder

[@rickymendoza8512]

Saw them open for Metallica on the Death Magnetic Tour with Lamb of God. They ripped! Became a big fan.

[@kimL93]

Beautiful flying v

[@T-Hawkeyes]

OR100 is one of the best amps ever made.

[@patrickolivier1]

I still prefer the Rockerverbs but yea they are AMAZING!! 🍊🍊🍊

[@redkingeye]

28:43 dude had a face like the old man in Big when he got on the floor keyboard

[@armata6530]

Been looking forward to this one. Stoked you got Bryan in this one as well

[@2024Shoesmith]

I rock a Laney Pro-Tube 50 watt head. Dial in the sweet spot and she's a killer!

[@treychilton]

It's great to see the Wyld Kyle made it on the board! Idiotbox effects are the best. Atari Matt is a cool guy.

[@DaveBleeds]

Prime time Caveman set up

[@JC3D]

nice 3d animation in the beginning

[@666highjinx4]

Is that Kyle Shutt from the Sword?! 😯

[@nakka1830]

Such nice people.

[@raytorvalds3699]

TIL what a left handed cigarette means. The things you learn on rig rundowns lol.

[@alexanderball6326]

I LOVE the sword

[@ileutur6863]

Well shit, now I want a taurus

[@Hellseeker1]

Yeah I got a couple there albums, good stuff

[@JC3D]

Hey The Sword - would you be interested trading 3d modeling and animation services for backing tracks (so I can put some recordings out)?

[@joepro182]

Could you please do Foo Fighters and Muse?

[@fredegundestratton4891]

Me being a sword fanatic and putting mondo slinky on my guitar without knowing JD uses em too wtf

[@gooseabuse]

Brian was cool, congrats on becoming a dad.

[@joecoleman288]

Wish they profiled Vela's drums. But it's a guitar channel I guess...

[@ironsabbath18]

Tony never played AOR’s. Supergroups only. Klipp’s MAYBE for recording.

[@colinjwilliams6149]

AOR’s were the 80’s ones.

[@DROPTUNED]

Treble booster with tone knob rolled off suits better to my ears than fuzz

[@hawg427]

How in hell does the airline break off a headstock when it's in a hard case.

[@deadlegs187]

Practice

[@ileutur6863]

Gibsons will snap even in a case

[@Louzahsol]

@@ileutur6863 if you throw it down the stairs

[@christophernoble76]

they're really good at that

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

Guy shows up to conduct an interview in shorts. What class.

[@yungstaben7675]

Can’t believe you get KZbin back there in the 50s

[@christophernoble76]

he's not interviewing a bank owner, it's at a rock show sound check, he's appropriately dressed

[@louiscarrollmusic-lcm5331]

Man I really want a Taurus now. 3 piece band with no keyboard player? We need it 🤣

[@SeabeeBuckeye]

Killer band.

[@tony_dms350]

C standard with 10s??? Omg! These guitars will Play like chewing a gum! 😂

[@sanfordsanford295]

Light gauges are the way to go. More string movement = more signal

[@patrickolivier1]

I don’t know it really depends on how you play. The picks you use will make a big difference too for what gauge of strings may be better. The scale length of the guitar.... they’re so many factors 🙂

[@mikedamisch]

Live this band!

[@chrisbassman3936]

That idiot box pedal is sweet

[@jared-s4q]

Fuckin love this band

[@omarloera86]

Bass player. Best rig, least time

[@pallobomba]

10-52 for C tunning? 😅😅😅

[@tunlaw3076]

Meh it's nothing crazy alex from Entombed used 10-46 for B standard

[@Hellseeker1]

Stop buying up all my strings, Ernie Ball get on it. Skinny Top Heavy Bottom, they always out.

[@s.w.matteo6679]

Fail. Tony certainly didn't have an AOR in the early Sabbath Days.

[@jpvvandermerwe87]

- Laney Super Group(s) if memory serves me right.

[@Funnychainsaw26]

Tony Iommi used Laney Soupergroup and Klipp for early sabbath records, not this one :)

[@GerryBlue]

When is Clapton's coming?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

my best guess is that it's next but i'm not looking forward to it

[@spudvader]

Look up there website, it's usually on there before it's on KZbins

[@brrblack497]

What happened to the amp with the single volume knob ? lmfao

[@arissp4950]

Is this Flying V the Faded from the mid 00s?

[@dunnorly]

think its a factor x, i cant tell if it has a satin finish or a gloss. Please chime in people

[@jayfoster]

So much treble lol

[@stephenchow5161]

it must be hot in there

[@natronbetticus]

specificize

[@generaljj71]

Sorry but I’m gonna steal all your ideas

[@ToddzillaGuitars]

Is that pedal and distortion tone sounds like shit

[@christophernoble76]

it's on this video only for some reason

[@Thecrispito]

"Articulation"

[@sanfordsanford295]

Sounds like shit right out of the gate Lol

[@ivanvoloder8114]

I only like their old metal albums.

[@Heavywall70]

Laneys KILL

[@officialmetalwill]

These guys used to have such amazing tone. Now they sound like they're playing through $50 practice amps...

[@dylanwillis1473]

I'm convinced it's the video. I just saw them live and they sounded so badass.

[@christophernoble76]

pretty sure it's just the video but also it ends up sounding different in a mix

[@antitesisthrash]

Frank zappa

[@stevesuv]

Write a great song. Gear is secondary. Sorry

[@rainierstevens12]

Hills have eyes dude is really making sure we know its HIS SIGNATURE.

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

Lol he either is getting a shit ton of money or he really is in love with his sigs.

[@FTtriofilms]

I saw the sword open for Opeth. Man they sounded very lame and no energy. But then again Opeth destroyed the stage.

[@TheSecondNature]

There's an ocean between Opeth and most other bands.

[@FTtriofilms]

@@TheSecondNature totally agree. I didn’t expect them to keep up. But man it just sounded like the sound guy scaled the volume down or something

[@TheSecondNature]

@@FTtriofilms well, that could be! Lol. Like on TV, the shows are way quieter than the commercials

[@wrenchhead4378]

Thats sad…. I saw them open for clutch a few years ago and they blew clutch off the stage….

[@FTtriofilms]

@@wrenchhead4378 I was pumped to see them! I liked their early stuff but maybe I need to give them another shot if the chance comes. Especially if they’re with Opeth again!

[@lastbestplace8112]

whatever...music sucks
