Baroness Boards: John Baizley & Gina Gleason Visit That Pedal Show

[@hipocoptero]

Gina is amazing. Baroness got even better because of her.

[@ThePowerman121]

Gina unlocked something in John. They have this almost brother/sister camaraderie. It’s a wonderful thing to see especially at their live shows.

[@davidcjupp]

She's amazing but the second part of your statement is just a fib. Gold & Grey is distinctly worse than Purple and this is from a fan from way back in the pre-Red days.

[@siphillipson1099]

Gina is amazing I agree but Pete was a powerhouse. It's music, there is no better or worse, only an evolution of a band's sound. I've loved this band since I first heard them, through all their different iterations and they always produce brilliant music.

[@bradenmeyer7465]

Most-fucking-definitely.

[@arzarkel]

Man, this show has become way more than „That pedal show“...this is music, this is inspiration, thank you, Dan and Mick for letting this happen!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Yes! Thank you. That was always the intention!

[@benmathys3026]

Gina has long hair and John is bald. John has a long beard and Gina doesn't. It's all very complimentary.

[@penisdimension]

Yeah, there are many more complimentaries of men and women. Keep digging ;)

[@Glicksman1]

Randomly 'discovering' Gina on Premier Guitar (playing Dimebag) a few days ago led me down the rabbit hole and into the world of Baroness. What a wonderful discovery. People that lament the state of music aren't looking hard enough or aren't open enough to be enlightened. This band is the definition of artist...true to their vision. Gina is so awesome! Very very good things going on here!

[@loetbraamkolk6483]

Literally saw Baroness last night and thought to myself they should really be featured on this show. Little did I know this was ready to be uploaded the next day! This is amazing, I'm enjoying every second of it.

[@amylou7991]

After last week's show I thought, I don't need more pedals. After this week's show, I need more pedals.

[@recklesstoboggan]

Baroness... on That Pedal Show... I nearly fainted. Combining two of my favorite, seemingly disparate but actually completely related and relevant, things. I've been a Baroness fan for years. I've been a TPS fan for years. Never in my wildest... This is the FUTURE. Thank you! I've been trying to buy a Philly Fuzz for years. THAT BARONESS SOUND! But it's a pretty exclusive club. I know it's a small company, seemingly always out of stock; I hope someday the sun will shine in my direction.

[@davidjonpeckinpaugh9295]

I don't think the Philly Fuzz is really the Baroness sound, personally.

[@whatthediddlyyoutuberino1359]

Philly Fuzz has some Heretics for sale right now

[@grahamkelly8299]

How cool were these two musicians?!! Very easy going and they seemed to genuinely love what they do and the sounds and pedals they use. It was all about music!!

Yeah they rock !

[@automatedluxuryposadism6971]

they are nerds I love it

[@Tomsdrawings]

I love TPS, I love Baroness, I love this episode. Thanks everybody. This is the very best of the whole youtube.

[@PMTluke]

The perfect storm of pedals and riffs and musical talk !

[@pedalgazer7109]

This is amazing! Have to admit- I had never heard of this band. Spent the last couple hours watching footage of their live shows. Nutty! I love how- as Dan marvels at- they create a very heavy aggressive sound with out the bone crushing distortion of say a Mesa Dual Rec. Their sound is heavy as a result of chordal harmony and play style. This band is an amazing example of the cross over that is happening now between post rock ambience, playing technique, and chordal complexity with indie rock and metal. This band is like Mogwai cross bred with Russian Circles - but with say Black Sabbath vocals. Simply amazing. As a side note- Gina's hybrid picking technique with her aggressive arpeggiated style is killer- she simply slays- As a bonus, these guys really know how to use ambient/ atmospheric pedals in a modern context to range from end of days, apocalyptic sound scapes to subtle atmosphere that gives their intricate unison solo interplays that extra something. Thanks TPS for introducing us to this great band!

[@pedalgazer7109]

PS: I would love to see another episode with these two where they go more in-depth with what their various pedals- like the data corrupter- can do...

[@johnfrenette]

pedal gazer do yourself a favor and listen to the Red album-it’s a great, great album. It’s a voyage. So good. And then (if you haven’t yet) check the latest (Gold & Grey) that Gina is on. Also very good. They’re both Baroness, but they’re great for different reasons.

[@ralvknights]

I didn't want this episode to end. Sooo inspiring to hear new artists that cover so much melodic landscapes. Gina's Gain structure was not fully explained but it was surely a trip to hear both players complimenting their sounds brilliantly. Massive thank u to TPS for being such a great force of nature. Live long and prosper.

[@e.g.systems6146]

One of the most interesting episodes of TPS yet. Showing the guitar as "textures" rather than a series of chords, and how 2 people can play together and the outcome is much more than the sum of the parts.

[@goodknight37]

Everyone needs to check out John’s art also. It’s absolutely amazing 💀🤘

[@justleavemealone]

Yeah, he does all their album covers. He has done Skeleton Witch, Kvelertak, and Black Tusk too. I think he did some stuff for Metallica, but I can't remember what that's all about.

[@goodknight37]

LordScreamingSutch 👍 He did Metallica’s “Four Horsemen” shirt, which I have. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s killer!

[@Therealbackslabbath]

He also did Darkest Hour’s album Deliver Us

[@Therealbackslabbath]

And Pig Destroyer

[@PMTluke]

Yeah it is ! I bought the record for gold and Grey and went to the record store where they did the acoustic set and got the signed artwork. His artwork for red/blue/yellow and green/purple and gold and grey was all awesome! It’s cool having the gold and grey record just for the large size art!

[@rockpebble100]

Baroness write such triumphant songs that even when melancholic you are lifted up to a new place. Love this band, John is such a deep and articulate thinker and artist and has a great philosophy on life. Massive thank you for this show!

[@davidjonpeckinpaugh9295]

Great post! :))

This is why I play music. To meet people like these guys and to get to make something together. Awesome people. Thoughtful, insightful, honest, direct and interesting. I've meet so many people like this in music. They are wonderful.

[@periloustemple8290]

Damn. Best quote "as often as possible" 36:01. Lovely show, great interview - and very special Special Guests. I'm off to become a more informed Baroness fan. It's a good day for some fresh music. Maybe I'll wear a mask 37:13. Anyway, thanks for another great one.

1:21 and I'm crying already. My favorite band on my favorite show.

[@fraserlundie9468]

Love Baroness for this exact reason the dynamics between guitars and the complimentary fusion it creates. Would love to see Matt Pike on the show but don't think the building would survive 3/4 gunned orange amps at once

[@dante316a]

Fraser Lundie AND i don’t know if they would let him being without a shirt.

[@matnukin1584]

I remember listening to Blue album when my older son was a baby. I remember sitting on the balcony with him in my lap, trying to get him to sleep and listening to the record on earphones. Since then Baroness has been my favourite band. I also love that your show welcomes players from all musical spectrums. (I’ve watched all episodes.) I’m a metalhead at heart but as a player I gravitate more toward a bluesier style. It goes to show that pedals make you more good in all genres. 😃

[@mattiaminiati]

Baroness are one of the most interesting band in the contemporary "alternative/post metal" scene to me. I've seen them live recently and they're really a pleasure to see and hear. Lots of inspiring ideas and tones. It's very cool to see Gina and John on the show, thanks guys :)

[@ChrisHendrix117]

Such amazing tones! I’m not a high gain, heavy guitar, “metal” guy by any stretch, but Baroness is definitely going on the playlist!! Incredible! Thanks Mic and Dan for finding the most inspiring players to feature.

[@PMTluke]

Yeah I’m not a “metal guy” either but this band has always caught my ear with there riffs.

[@nickjensen8532]

I saw Baroness last night, and was surprised at how little gain they were using compared to the otheretal bands I've been jamming lately, like Mastodon and High in Fire.

[@williamsmothers8830]

So Baroness is like the Ultimately Extemporaneous Wet/Dry rig, John and Gina will have to decide which is which. I really like the communication, connectedness and obvious joy in their sharing. Dan, good job staying on point - I could see you being transported as you vibrated, but you managed to stay relatively grounded (at least, relatively grounded for you!). Thanks for the excellent show - I'm off to listen to Baroness for the first glorious time!

[@wannabweiland]

Gina’s guitar sound is so good. I think it’s her technique/skill shining through really, but man, super pleasing to hear.

[@ScreamingOak]

Just wonderful, been a fan of Baroness since the release of Blue, their harmonies remind me of Thin Lizzy but in a heavier context. Now get an episode with Kurt Ballou on creative guitar tones in heavy music - with the amount of gear geekery between him and you guys the episode could/should be several hours long.

[@PMTluke]

Yeah there harmonies are great !

This rules! Thanks so much for posting. Love Baroness and their approach to music.

[@zucchinisurprise6347]

@@kbkman7742God, I'd kill to have Mike on this show. The Quantum Mystic is probably the best distortion I've ever played. Getting Kurt on would be awesome as well. Omar would be a really interesting episode but I almost feel like with the size of the boards he tends to use it'd be such a long video or series of videos that it'd never happen or would end up being too short and glossing over a lot of interesting stuff.

[@kbkman7742]

@@zucchinisurprise6347 yeah dude buying a quantum mystic changed the way I use drive pedals. It's all about the volume and eq. Very versatile pedal, it can just about do everything from atma tones to some vintage dirt
