Rival Sons are known as one of the hardest working bands on the circuit. Their electrifying brand of sizzling rock 'n' roll has positioned them comfortably amongst guitar music royalty - they've toured extensively with the likes of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Aerosmith among others.

It would be amazing if u could do a without busting with the actual guitarist picking the gear with you and trying to sound like himself on a budget

[@wrd2thebigbird]

I love that idea!!

[@andrewpappas9311]

That sounds awesome

[@_RLP]

Very good idea. Start with your mates from "in-house" bands and see how it goes... Or have an artist that comes in to do a "the captain meets" to do this as well.

[@kerrykroger7323]

Until the artist still sounds like the artist with the cheapest practice amp and instrument... I recall a tech lamenting that Eric Clapton was going to do a walk on and the only amp they had for him to use was the one that the Singer used for one song and it was not very good, but Eric walks on with the first guitar off the rack plugs in twiddles the knobs turns around and sounds JUST LIKE Eric Clapton...

[@kerrykroger7323]

From Richie Fliegler who was the Guitar Tech in question and was supporting Little Feat at the time... True Story...

You guys nailed it, just found these guys a few weeks back and can’t stop listening!!!

[@TheNicoscerri]

He also uses a supro amp at the same time for his dry sound now too. Was lucky enough to be shown all his gear backstage once. Super cool band and very nice dudes

[@fylyp]

You did see all his gear?!! Lucky you!!

[@TheNicoscerri]

Fyl MorningStar yeah I was very lucky, even got to play his guitars which are surprisingly heavy too

[@pierresaucourt5894]

Hey Guys! Thank you for all your amazing videos. I saw Rival Sons on stage at Nimes in France in July. Scott was using a Line 6 Helix Floor.

With cliffs of dover played perfectly note for note. I'm sure bea is more than up to the challenge :)

[@davidkeane2399]

Dear Bea and Matt - had the plaisir of watching Rival Sons this summer at a festival dans France. He had a big ass Friedman amp on stage, and he changed guitar on almost every song in the set. Mental good sounds. Dude's a toanz beast. I'd say you did very well considering the variations in the man's gear. Sweet!

[@fylyp]

Hi Pretty surprised to read that Scott Holiday used a Friedman amp... On Feral Roots tour, I'm sure he used a Supro in addition to the usual Orange stack....

[@davidkeane2399]

@@fylyp I thought so as well. I may be wrong in my assumpion that it was his amp ?? There were effectively an orange and a supro on stage. And as it was a festival, perhaps I was just looking lustfully at someone else's Friedman!! ;-) In any case, they were SOOO good live. And the drummer - the man's an absolute BEAST! I'll have a butchers at the pics I took and see if I can surmise further!

Do Sound Like Periphery or Dream Theater!

[@JoseHenrique-xg1lp]

Petrucci uses his signature gear so definitely no secret there

[@boggeshzahim3713]

@@JoseHenrique-xg1lp This series has never been about uncovering the mysteries of tone, its just showing what the rigs look and sound like at different budgets. I apologize in advance if I interpreted your comment, but I always see comments like these when people suggest an artist and it bothers me. We enjoy seeing Matt and Rabea walk around the store and pick out gear and attempt to play like the artist no matter what the rig is.

[@JoseHenrique-xg1lp]

@@boggeshzahim3713 You have a good point, and there's not need to apologize whatsoever. Also, I assumed some context as this video is a "busting the bank". Andertons sells Mesa boogies and Music Man Magesty, so I pretty much assumed the video would go around that (they have used signature gear in others videos, like on Jimmy Page)

[@sirstabbyfork9675]

Great ideas and would lose to see them, would have to be without busting tho as misha also has his signature Jacksons and peavey invective, the other members have their signature guitars as well.

[@PureJadeKid]

@@sirstabbyfork9675 They would need more than just Matt and Bea to play three guitar parts....

[@nekot9274]

Electric man is spot on

[@benlogan430]

You guys always do an awesome job! Sometimes we all forget that you guys are trying to get a live sound to match the studio recording of bands. These bands take the best equipment and best studios as in sound, space and engineering. These guys get really close with a simple room, guitar and amp. So...excellent work. Even with the same drums and playing (trying to emulate) I never did get the Elvin Jones tones that Rudy Van Gelder did in the studio. Close though.

[@igorstavtsev5962]

Sounds like The Cure or Prince, please.

[@jamesmonnery4420]

Prince

[@murfmurphy6212]

So if its 'by busting', and your not sure on guitars, just take them both maybe? Be great to see how different that firebirdwould have sounded

[@ivo1983]

Can you do sound like The Black Crowes? :)

[@sid35gb]

Ivan Medarić good call 👍

[@peterburns2708]

Ivan Medarić oh yess

[@auduneggen4847]

That would be great! Both by and without busting the bank.

[@johnwanderin3872]

The Firebird he is using is a custom Kauer Banshee, probably would cost in excess of $4,000. Kauer is boutique guitar shop here in my home town.

[@armata6530]

This one and royal blood are my favorites: Fuzz and a pog. The dynamic duo. I imagine if you put those two on the same stage it’ll just be a whole lot of noise

[@isaacjohnson.]

so much fuzzy goodness!

[@williama-d6]

Sounds sick

[@MrBothandNether]

My old friends have made this segment, how cool is that... Long Live The Space, boyz! (Fwiw, we scrounged everything up the LBC had laying around for those first shows at The Space)

[@jackthomson5047]

My favourite band currently. Get in!

[@ipdjbt]

Thank you so much for this, gents! Love me some Scott MrFuzzLord Holiday!

[@fylyp]

Scott's the man... He got me into Fuzz pedals more than anyone else... Still way to go but I gave a try at some of their tunes on my channel, feel free to check out if you wish

[@robinpattersonguitar2067]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this forever. Mr. Fuzz Lord is awesome

[@andy_watt]

Most of Scott’s Firebird-style guitars are actually Kauer Banshees, and by god are they awesome.

[@hunterbrock2347]

Do more sounds like versus. That was an incredibly great idea in the beginning of you ask me.

[@SgtJADAN200]

I feel like the Rival Son's are hard to replicate because their albums have so many layers. Never the less these sounds are killer!

[@WarningNimrod39]

I was just thinking how I’d like to see this!

[@simmyt10]

KASABIAN lads so many iconic sounds. Would be so good

[@volkerlinzer844]

Excellent choices guys - thanks! How about Bush - Sixteen Stones?

[@AwakeDirector]

They should have picked the blue Duesenberg in the background. Bigsby, 3 pickups, filtertrons and crazy expensivr

[@paulharrison3265]

Thank you! Hey the gretsch was quite similar to the meloduende except that's aluminium and copper

[@GeekslamUK]

Andertons should definitely stock Kauer guitars. ;)

[@serjguitarkeeper2563]

Hey guys! Love your videos, really helpful. Please go for Hammerfall tone next time \m/

[@triabiscuit1494]

[@Eldritch_Robot]

The ultimate modern rock rig! Can cover bands such as nothing but thieves, highly suspect, frank carter and the rattlesnakes, and cleopatrick

[@fylyp]

I have managed to get somewhat OK tones out of a Carcosa Fuzz and a Whammy set one - 1 octave Electric Man, Do your worst etc... Feel free to check them 😁 Cheers from France

[@sxm1246]

Bruh, sounds like ‘The Amazons’ saw them at reading festival, great performance

[@allendean9807]

He plays a Kauer, right? Dave Kauer is a hometown hero, from my home town of Sacramento, CA- well, he lives in Elk Grove, a few minutes south of Downtown....

[@andy_watt]

The Last_Saint yeah he has quite a few Kauer Banshees. Love their guitars!

[@acemew3255]

Muse by busting

[@adamszki427]

would be cool to see a video where you talk about how you approach getting the tones, obviously we see you pick the gear, but do you just listen by ear to get the settings and tweak the dials until you hit the right settings or is there method?

[@bjkuhn4473]

You should do a Crowbar segment. Pure heavy sludgy goodness. It would be fun for both of you

[@peterholmes]

Hi Guys love all these sound like videos. - How’s about doing something slightly different and sounding like Nile Rogers

[@fylyp]

Definitely loved this episode Great fuzz sounds And as a Rival Sons fan, I think you did pretty well Of course Scott Holiday uses various types of guitars, but the choice of a Gretsch instead of FB type was still relevant, since he got himself a custom made Gretsch Penguin 😉.... Amongst others...

[@rollingon5566]

Sound like King gizzard and the lizard wizard? That'd be dope

[@eljb8644]

That would be a long episode lol

[@ampman40]

I knew what you were going to say!

[@jameswingard4503]

Guys, I enjoy your reviews. How about doing one for the old guys, like Allman Brothers Band . Skynyrd would be good also. thanks

[@kerrykroger7323]

Or Frampton

[@marius8818]

Should picked a penguin or another solid body from Gretsch.

[@ryanleone3007]

A semi-hollowbody is not the guitar to pick for this band and with all that gain and fuzz would be unusable on stage.

[@Martyr9991]

They're limited by what's in the store so they might not have been able to get it.

[@ericbelmont4322]

Sound Like Silverchair

[@johnnybravo2334]

I would love to see a Sound like Clutch

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

Scott holliday uses a lot of Kauer guitars. :) and orange or100 and custom shop

[@williamsmothers8830]

I love the series, never miss an episode. How about Big Head Todd and the Monsters?

[@thedondeluxe6941]

A big hollowbody as a substitute for what is basically a solid plank... interesting choice.

[@naturalrestingface4909]

Hold on...You don't have the axe, you don't have the amp and you don't have the pedals. I like these vids! You two don't give a fcuk!

[@sammiller8523]

Yay! Rival Sons is my favourite band. Should have gone with a solid body gretch just to mix it up, you always go with the hollows, but still well done

[@nekot9274]

The Vemuram are made with the brass eggs from the brass egg chicken, the lesser known cousin of the golden egg chicken, ence the price.

[@slimithyjimithy7088]

Sound like Silverchair please it would be awesome

[@aylithsflag9203]

It would be really cool to see a ‘Sound like My Chemical Romance’ as their sounds is super different between albums

[@alexpinkleton1095]

Which fuzz did you use for Electric Man by Rival Sons?

[@arvedbohn6133]

Sound like early Genesis (Steve Hackett & Mike Rutherford) without busting the bank

[@antti4348]

How about sound like Sinergy (and COB)? What can you use to replicate the guitar sound Alexi and Roope had back in the days?

[@jetrumm]

sounds great as always guys! but I still think its a crime after all these years you haven't done Derek Trucks, Prince, or Zappa yet!

Does the Sabbra Cadabra actually sound like that???? i want the tone rebea had at the end of the video but the vemuram is way too expensive...

[@pablofichaje]

Allman Brothers, one video for Duane and Dickey and another for Warren and Derek

[@matt_phistopheles]

What's up with that Ibanez RG770DXLB in the background? Or is it a RG670? It's sitting there since forever but it never appeared in a video as far as I can tell.

[@piter-the-retro-nerd]

Can you do sound like Poison Ivy from The Cramps?

[@LilNem0]

You guys need to do an episode where you both do the same artist but one of you has a budget and the other doesnt, that way we can see a nice wide spectrum of what is available.

[@barschmellow]

Please: do a sound like Judas Priest! Thanks, thats all ;)

[@offbeatinstruments]

I don't think they can do the eagles, they would get copyright striked as soon as they play their songs

[@4572dk]

They're ignoring the classic bands we want and doing too many shitty indie bands

[@Lagmire]

Immediate blockage would ensue if they played The Eagles on this channel. They are probably the most infamous blockers on KZbin. Of course, there are others who do the same thing. I think it’s safe to say at this point, if a certain artist has been requested over and over again for literal years, it’s not going to happen due to copyright issues. “Shitty” indie bands don’t have their stuff blocked on KZbin, and understand that having their music exposed in any way just helps their brand.
