Sound Like Queens Of The Stone Age | BY Busting The Bank

[@Eddthejacklezoso]

That Josh Homme rhythm tone is spot on. Glad you didn't add too much gain which is a common mistake when people try pull Qotsa off. Thank you so much for this guys!!!!

[@ericward6919]

I actually thought it was too much gain. If you watch the video with Troy, he says that "know one knows" is actually clean tone. They put tons of gain on that.

[@JohnsDough1918]

@@ericward6919 exactly. The harmonics at 14:07 are a dead giveaway. They're much more cleaner on the record, even live across the years.

[@jd9287]

Yeah qotsa always choose volume over gain, same as Sabbath, zepplin and so many other rock legends

[@saxwastaken]

@@ericward6919As I understand the No One Knows tone is straight up just treble boosted clean.

[@demarchiordie]

That dude from Livinroom Gear Demos nailed it in his room with a handful of pedals, a Gibson ES335 and a toneking.

[@vulcansentry134]

Sounds like Kyuss !

Wow Bea looks great, slimmed down very well. Congratulations

[@andrewmarquez5367]

Good shout with going with the 335 and not a Gretsch Update: never mind

[@samdavidson7022]

It’s not even a 335, can’t believe they’d get that wrong, it doesn’t take much to memorise the difference between 335s, 345s and 355s

[@chrisf6216]

13:39 - nailed it! Thank you Gents. Sounds like *Kyuss* ? I pray someday they'll groove together again while I'm alive to hear it. Homme, Garcia, Oliveri, and Bjork -- with Chris Goss producing again. Blues for the Red Sun was perfect in every way possible. Cheers!

[@vexedpixels]

chances are low. Homme and Oliveri are supposedly still friends but professionally i doubt they’ll ever be seen together again due to the accusations

[@ClaptrapRapture]

Comments on these videos generally completely ignored the video and just demand what they want to see next. I think you really nailed this one. Was yelling Dusenburg at my monitor the whole time you were mucking about with the 335. Was dead happy when you switched!

[@jacktowers7533]

Great thing about being Aussie, every other guitar store stocks Maton Guitars

[@therapist6328]

I'm not fussy. I'll take an MS500. Cheers from Canada.

[@keepyoureyespeeled]

Ayyy Mastodon

[@trevorbohn8020]

@@keepyoureyespeeled exactly. Mastodon rocks!

[@PrawdaTV]

These are not P90s on Jazzmasters. They're just Jazzmaster single coils.

[@djwestnutt]

Correct

[@CoolspyGaming]

I didn't know that! :O You learn something new everyday. That's good though, because Mr. Leeuwen actually plays with singlecoils more than P90's anyway.

[@eranmontiel]

Believe p90s are single coil, just a different type of single coil

[@therflcommish]

Eran Montiel Correct

[@RhythmGrizz]

Semantics. They're essentially p90s

[@spartacus2296]

Damn. I’d love a sounds like Fugazi.

[@alexstewart839]

That would be super easy too. Both guitarists really only played the one guitar and amp.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yep, any of those seminal straight-edge/core/post-punk bands from that period would be fun. Personally, I'd choose Husker Du/Bob Mould. But Fugazi would be cool (according to Alex Stewart it's very simple). All I know about Mould is that he used SS amps, with a tube amp (Fender Twin, I think) added to his live rig later in his career. MXR Distortion+, Flying V/Strat. That's pretty simple. He records using Line6 modelling!

[@therapist6328]

Sg and a Ric. Prolly straight in to Marshalls half stacks.

[@isaacwilliams9919]

Ian plugged into the amp but Guy used an MXR distortion plus

[@taph2143]

SG + JCM800 :D

[@JoshMan403]

Sounds like “king gizzard and the lizard wizard”

[@power.pigeon]

Lol what album heck what song

[@mrpunkkiller7153]

I don't think they'd do that. They'd have to bring absolutely everything from the store to the video room

[@tarapiero]

@@mrpunkkiller7153 actually their pedals actually very simple and consistent like jhs superbolt, dd-3, some analog delays, and fuzzes. given that they already have 3 guitarists and probably tweaking some knobs to get the specific sounds

[@robob3586]

would be nice to see them try and do one tone from each album

[@africaaa9072]

Please do MUSE by busting! Since you have no budget you can go crazy on pedals to achieve that crazy muse sound!

[@ELPHITS]

Africaaa I’ve been asking for this since the first BY busting!!!

Radiohead by getting depressed.

[@theradu123]

absolutely nailed it guys! i had the browser minimised at 8:39 and i honestly thought i was hearing audio from the album, but the drums never kicked in...10/10

[@jakelus71]

Jazzmasters have been in production for like 60+ years. How do people still not understand that their pickups are NOT P90S! There is literally nothing similar about them. From construction to tone, they could not be more different, other than the fact that they're both single coils.

[@jacobmoffatt5036]

jakelus71 Preach!

[@jakelus71]

Jacob Moffatt I love these andertons guys but none of them actually know very much about gear haha. They know all the buzzwords but their knowledge is extremely surface-level - even the supposed "experts" like chappers, Lee, and Pete. But I guess the videos are more about entertainment than education anyway haha

[@gregweber5399]

jakelus71 He says "p90 kinda style pickups here." Right around the 4:22 mark

[@jakelus71]

Greg Weber they're not p90 style. Not even kinda.

[@therflcommish]

They are both single coils so they aren't completely dissimilar.

[@nathanmiles3847]

You absolutely nailed it lads. The PDF-2 with the Sugar Drive sound spot on. Extra points for that Jazzmaster giving me a toneboner.

[@brianrodman1033]

Nathan Miles Jazzmasters are very sexy. That Duesy Rabea was playing wasn’t bad either.

Blue good one It shall be done!

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

18:41 Oh no! the song title is "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire"

[@automaticwriting4345]

Glad this series is back! Even if the mark isn't always hit (in my opinion), it's extremely entertaining to see Rabea and Matt's approach on classic tones. I really don't blame them for not always getting close. We have to remember they're going after tones that are mixed and produced, eq'd, compressed, etc. Great effort from these two.

[@DCPTCN_Soundwave]

Sound like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, great band😊

[@stevenrivera3977]

Spot on tone. That Song For The Deaf clip was nearly identical to the recording on the actual record. Great job dudes seriously.

[@delucadrums]

Really cool, Check out Eric Valentines vid (Engineer and Producer for Queens), he gives a walk through in his studio on how he got the guitar tones. It’s really cool!!!!

[@leolapulga6784]

8:35 My god is the sun is so spot on

[@zenixification]

[@gustavstefansson2476]

Please do Stevie Ray vaughan by busting the bank. I would also love to here you two play som funk so.... Vulfpeck?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Signature Fender Stratocaster and if it's out of stock they can get the one they used for John Frusciante By busting Marshall JTM Head and Cab Ibanez Tube Screamer Vox Wah pedal and that should be it

[@CurstofMaj]

Cory Wong would be so simple. Squier Strat - I think I’ve seen Jack use an affinity so that’s totally within budget, Fender deluxe reverb and a compressor. Put that thang in fourth position and funk away. Get Nathan or Lee from the bass show to guest star for Joe Dart while they’re at it.

[@gustavstefansson2476]

Zonda599Major Pretty much yea. I wonder though what compressor will do the job. I know Cory uses a comressor in to the amp but when it comes to the vulfcompressor on the track im not shure how they could achieve that sound. I guess they would have to go for live rigs.

[@CurstofMaj]

gurraplurr yeah I know he uses a Wampler Ego compressor, but they could get anything with a blend knob tbh. And I think they mainly use vulf compressor on stuff like drums and keys - the guitar stuff doesn’t seem to have as much of that vinyl-type squishiness.

[@gustavstefansson2476]

Zonda599Major that sound right. I would love to see rabea play Corys fill in Cory wong.

[@joaquincarlson4367]

Wow. Nailed it. If I closed my eyes, felt like I was listening to the albums at times.

[@donnythei]

Please do sounds like gojira

[@papa_yoh]

This by far is my favorite format for Sounds Like so far. I like seeing you guys search for the right gear, and this video had that (the other recent videos strated to cut a lot of that part to my dismay). On top that, the song demos (which there were plenty in this vid, which I liked a lot), and the gear explanations seemed a lot more streamlined and it was just very consistantly paced and I didn't get bored at all throughout the entire video. This is just my opinion, I still love this series but you guys hit it right on the ball with this video format an I hope this is the norm from now on. Cheers

[@Toothpastman]

Great one! Matt’s beard got really big :D Blur, or Radiohead by busting next?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Graham Coxon used to have a signature fender tele but it's discontinued so i reckon squier vintage modified tele for amps he uses marshalls but i reckon either vox or a marshall pedals i know he uses a lot of fuzz including the coffee and tv solo and maybe some tremolo but i don't really know i think that should do it

[@Slaughterhauzen]

This is soooo good at sounding like Josh's various tones with only one rig. Great video

[@howie3774]

Sounds like Robby Krieger//The doors

[@MrSubtlehustle]

Step one: Buy SG Step two: Play terribly

[@MrSubtlehustle]

@Lord Brain Oh, you must not have heard him play then.

[@briangarcia8384]

Regular John has got to be one of their best tracks.

[@widowmaker5544]

so here's what i think My god is the sun - really close on both guitarist's parts so i'm giving it a 10/10 Regular John - Josh's fuzz was a bit more rounder but troy's part sounded fairly close so this is 9/10 No one knows - you nailed their most popular song! 11/10 A song for the dead - it sounds much more on fleek than the without busting for both parts, i'll give this 10/10 Little Sister - Josh's part was fine but the synthy lead line could've used work so 8/10 You think i ain't worth a dollar but i'm worth a millionaire - was fairly close but not exact so 9/10 personally you should've done the no one knows' guitar solo but that's just me and if you do more BY bustings please revist: Metallica Nirvana Rush U2 The Who Deftones The Smiths Eric Clapton Randy Rhoads Alterbridge

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i second Rush, The Who, The Smiths and Eric Clapton cos those were pretty lame by my standards

[@vnm1274]

at least get the titles right m8

Was it necessary to split the mics one in each ear?

[@van403]

I truly hope this was done in error, as an editor myself I cant see why the hell anyone would think that its a good thing to do. Its terrible on headphones!

[@Franz.]

Maybe a 65:35 split would have been better instead of 1:0

[@mrc2662]

Agreed, whilst the clarity is really good, it’s just annoying after a time

[@stopspillinthebeans]

Queens of Stone Age do hard panning a lot on both guitars in the studio

That pickup combo on the Duesenberg is alot like the Gibson USA P94 / 84TLM setup on my Lee Malia RD Artisan. Down to the housing, except on the RD it's gold and not chrome. Also, Ik this video is 2 years old and someone has probably commented it but Jazzmasters do not have P90's. They're wound different and have a different base but are more kin to a Strat single coil, just in a large housing with wide covers.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

first they gotta go without busting, i know Syn uses a signature Schecter with a SD Invader in the bridge and a Sustainer in the neck, andertons have it but they can't get it for $1500 so something with Seymour Duncans and a floyd rose will sort them out well, he used to use marshall and now has a signature Hellwin head, so Marshall DSL amp, for pedals they need a compressor & chorus for buried alive's intro, a good distortion for the high gain parts and a wah for the requiem guitar solo for Zacky he also has a signature Schecter and his too is too expensive but i know he has JB Humbuckers by Seymour Duncan so they could find a JB equiped guitar, for amps he has Jet City but andertons don't have them anymore so they need something high gain like a Boss KT or Egnater Tweaker, his pedals include a MXR Black Label Chorus for Bat Country and some other stuff but i don't really remember, so i'll say chorus, drive and anything else in case
