[@RabeaMassaad]

Thanks for watching guys - we may definitely consider getting rid of the sig rule. But I’ll wait to see what Matt thinks too! I want to clear up one thing... so many people seem to be unhappy about the way we play certain riffs in sound like generally. It’s really important to make it clear that, neither me or Matt know how to play any of the songs, we have to listen to them on the stereo, transcribe by ear, dial in tone then shoot the clip. So we really don’t have time to stop and look up notation or tabs. It’s way quicker just to play it by ear! Sorry if that annoys some people, but it’s the only we can get through the amount of videos we have to shoot. As always, I love how much you all love sound like, it’s been a few years now, and we really appreciate all the support!

[@gmofftarki]

I've always thought that the sig rule wasn't just unneeded, it was backwards. People already know that if they want a "shortcut" to someone's setup, they should buy the guitar or amp or pedal with that person's name on it. A rule saying "Sigs allowed, except for the player in question's own sig" would increase sales of signature-series guitars beyond that player's own fanbase, by showing them to have a bit more versatility, and provide interesting content when something silly happened, like if the Ed O'Brien strat were perfect for Metallica or something along those lines.

[@Muzikman127]

@@gmofftarki ooooh I like that. You can play sigs just not of the person in question. And if not, you should ban Les Pauls, since they're Les Paul's signature model, just to be fair ;)

[@ezguitarist4637]

Have you never considered buying a Manson guitar, same as Matt Bellamy?

[@Muzikman127]

@@ezguitarist4637 They only use guitars stocked at Andertons, it's worth remembering that these are after all promotion videos for a guitar store, they're not likely to use something that they don't sell in their store!

[@jamesonomalley4269]

The reason I like these videos is it inspired me to continue my guitar learning journey a few years ago plus watching the gear come together and see where it ends up close or not it’s really fun watching you guys play and having fun that’s what music is it’s finding a way to express yourself and getting out of the crazy world for however long you can play for. And the no sig’s for another’s rig I think in concept is pointless because as a guitar player I find whatever gear I think will get a specific thing or tone I use it for that, I hope you and Matt and the other anderton’s staff are safe and well cheers mate. P.s whenever you guys can start up the series, I think a Radiohead by busting the bank would be a great shout you guys did so well the first time I’m genuinely interested if more expensive gear will be better

1 - Get rid of that silly rule of not using signature gear, at least for the By Busting epis. 2 - Stop focusing on price for the measure of a By Busting episode. If a lower priced piece of gear is a better fit for a given task, then USE THAT, not more expensive options simply because they are more expensive. By Busting should mean "not constricted by a budget", instead of "let aim for the stars and see what we can come up with".

[@sakimiyu4169]

but they can't really get signature models for the without bustings or is that the point?

[@00Resev]

@@sakimiyu4169 The point is they should use whatever fits best, even if its a signature piece of gear, regardless if its without, or by busting.

[@crazymindU2A]

@@00Resev well, without busting they need to keep the budget in mind for those who can't afford

[@00Resev]

@@crazymindU2A You are missing the point. The point is not the budget, but the right gear for the job. On the by busting episodes they are focusing more on what the gear costs, instead of choosing gear because its the best fit, regardless if its high or low priced. One simple example is what they did with Black Sabbath. The without busting epi had literally the best gear for the job. The signature Epiphone Tony Iommi SG (with Gibson USA Tony Iommi signature pickups ). The signature Laney Tony Iommi 15W amp. A spring reverb, and a Sabbath inspired drive. BOOM! The right sound can be had for below 1500£. Aaaaaand they chose to do a by busting episode as well..................why?... It didn't sound any better, and it was expensive for expensive sake. And that's the point.

[@crazymindU2A]

@@00Resev hi, thanks for your reply. I get it and I agree there's no need to be price-conscious with unlimited budget. Now, after giving it a thought, if a sig falls into the price range in 'without busting', yes, it shouldn't matter. Thank you for explaining this.

[@austynwoodliff7075]

I agree

[@Rtechmobile]

Amen!

[@gismo4126]

Exactly! It’s sound like, not look like! Additionally, a lot of pro players use other artist models live as well due to being friends, getting them as gifts, and just liking the piece of gear! For example, Eddie Van Halen isn’t the only pro player that uses EVH signature guitars, amps or pedals. So to dial those users rigs in for ‘sounding like’ the person should be looking at whatever it takes, especially with busting the bank!

[@mcswordfish]

I'd suggest treating the "No Sig" rule as a guideline - something to strive for, but when caught between a rock and a hard place, it should be permitted.

[@SkitBit]

Agree with most. Ditch the rule... At the end of the day it's "Sounds Like", not "Be like" 👍🏻

[@dylanporter8105]

My only gripe with this series is its SOUNDS like not LOOK like or SPEND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE it's all about that tone and the sound, if someone uses a od1 theres no point buying a jhs bonsai just because it's more expensive I think that's irrelevant to the whole point of the series just because its more expensive doesnt mean itll sound closer if theres no point in getting it

[@Themaskplague]

To be fair this video proves that although they will also try and get something that looks like what said artist uses, they will always put sound first , hence the Ibanez in this video

If you dont want a signature, sense you are already watching a by busting the bank video.

As a massive Muse fan, this is Awesome!! I was about to complaint about you didn’t go for a Digitech Whammy - Matt have used it for ages, more or less all iterations of it. But glad to see you added it 😉 On a side note, I have always thought of Muse as a newer generations Queen, - you can really hear the inspiration, also in the never records, even though they have evolved as a band. And experiencing them live is just phenomenal.

Never had a chance to catch them live, but I do have the HAARP DVD which is amazing.They are all such great performers, but Matt is just insanely talented.

[@callumalston5755]

He’s chained whammy’s in the past, he loves them almost as much as Tom morello

[@evilutionltd]

Maybe Andertons should be stocking Manson guitars. Also, many of Matt's guitars are hard tail. You need a guitar with a PsychoPAF pickup and a Sustainiac. Saying that, I have several Manson DR-1 Drones guitars, ZVex and a Kemper and but I'm not talented enough to make it sound like Muse.

[@JF-2244]

evilution I wish Manson guitars were stocked everywhere 😂

[@davidburke2132]

evilution Agreed. To me some of the sounds on this this video are too thin (i.e. lacking in midrange) for Matt’s sound and I expect the Floyd is probably contributing to that.

[@sido4215]

Now that Matt's the majority stakeholder in Manson's, maybe he might be willing to stock their guitars in a few more stores around the country.

[@jakerice8760]

Watching this right after seeing the "without busting" Muse episode, and it's obvious that Matt is a lot better at bass now. He didn't even try to play Hysteria last time (switched places with Rabea), and he's nailing it now.

[@TravisSpotts]

The rule of "No Sigs" should apply to only videos where you're trying to not bust the bank. But if you're busting the bank, have at it!

Re: the sig model. Chad Smith of RHCP had a sig snare when he played Pearl. Is that what he actually played? No. He played a Yamaha Jimmy Chamberlain sig snare. So if you want to sound like Chad, you actually need Jimmy’s sig snare. Just goes to show that sig models aren’t necessarily relevant to achieving a desired sound.

Matt has always annoyed me by confusing 'sounds like' with 'looks like" when he mentions stuff like a guitar is the right colour etc. But he stole the show in this video. Some serious piano skills. Respect. Definitely got the Muse vibe in this one. I am Gen X and ended up liking Mom's boomer music most, like Sabbath, Zep, and Floyd etc. Maiden, Dio and Priest later on. Muse is one of the only post 2000s bands that really caught my ear. I think they are brilliant. I really like the fusion of styles. They can do electronic music, classical approach, but still rock and create an atmosphere that makes me feel good.

I can remember Matt playing a Yamaha pacifica with rust on the strings...and a solid state laney amp back in the days of TCC at Mount Everest. Also recollect he used to have a EVH music man covered in gaffer tape. I do like watching these vids but also think Andertons need to bite the bullet for busting the bank, Surely you need a Manson guitar for this or When you did Edge, the Edge signature strat. I think surely if the guitar sounds good for it, why not use it for busting the bank why not use any guitar you see fits the bill it you want too... but I don't really think a Ibanez fits the bill for Bellamy although he probably had one at some point but he also had a 200 quid Yamaha with rusty strings which to be fair was a superb guitar for the money.

[@conor2000]
