The Captain meets Matt Bellamy - that would be a great one! Please please please please make this happen! Mark Tremonti or Mike Kerr would also be awesome :)

[@CJLaw945]

What a humble guy! I've always liked Skrindred but never been on my main playlist. This guy has just changed it for me! Great player, honest and he appreciates what he has and has worked hard for it! Great video! Thanks Andertons!

[@davyvanbroekhoven3042]

You should meet Matthew Bellamy

[@NothingHereButMe]

I will donate money to this cause

[@piacere_lore]

That would make an interesting video

[@davyvanbroekhoven3042]

Lore's Stuff for sure

[@jmelara324]

haha matt with his racks and 20 guitars

[@antonlundstedt5517]

THE CAPT MEETS PETE HONORE!!!!!!

[@WifiChrome]

Anton Lundstedt yeahh

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Best I've ever heard an orange sound on this show. High gain with character.

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

that voice was unexpected based on that ZZ Top look

[@robertlewis5447]

Sounds like Pete Cottrell aha

[@robgreen1818]

Everyone expects Mikey to be welsh.

[@rammsonne]

Mikey is a straight up dude. I met him in 2005 during their soulful support tour, they absolutely owned that night. He's such a relatable guitar player to me, loves a good riff, nothing over complicated but holds his own in the genre he excels in. Great dude, great player.

[@DanielJMBA]

Captain meets Tosin Abasi would be the best video ever!

[@guitaristforfunn]

agreed, would love to see that.

[@jhar9022]

Sounds weird, but we REALLY need a The Capt. Meets Rabea Massaad. I'd be really interested to hear about his philosophies and mindsets and the exercises and drills he used to develop that killer articulation. Angel Vivaldi would be awesome as well.

[@SalmonFume]

Rabea has it's own KZbin channel, maybe you should check it out. It fits your description and is quite cool.

[@dandessoy2943]

Some say he keeps his riffs in his beard

[@deadchords4919]

i said that

[@bertagriese8282]

Shredder prove it

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

If he shaves his beard there will be just another beard underneath.

[@CentaurusRelax314]

You spelled it wrong. It's "spliffs."

[@Fektthis]

along with a family of pigeons.

[@dobby240]

What about the captain meets the captain, Lets hear your story man. lets here about your brother, father, the legacy of your shop. If its already been done, direct me. but that would be a good hour spent for me.

[@jayjackson9014]

dobby240 he talks about his shop and father and grandfather a bit when he interviewed Joe Bonamassa.

[@TheSennaj]

HOLY DAAAMMMNNN I LOVE SKINDRED!!!!! Well done Cap

[@ultrafloss492]

This was great, thanks very much! @Andertons a tiny suggestion for a closing segment: ask if your guests have any tips they want to share with their fellow guitarists, such as little playing or gear tricks or maybe even good resources that have been of great help in their (current) development. Thanks very much!

[@MNGuitars]

captain KILLING these interviews lately..soooo good. thank you Andertons for everything you do and for what u have taught and inspired me!

[@MattMitrisMGM]

Captain Meets Myles Kennedy

[@raytorvalds3699]

Meet Philip Sayce. Also, Lee's LP is sooo pretty !

[@gingataff]

Maybe Captain saw Dub War instead? They were playing 20 odd years ago.

[@rosshorne4769]

I've never heard of them, but will listen now as he seems a stand up guy

[@_charwyn]

It's so inspiring Skindred is still around, this video is a very pleasant surprise, I wasn't following them for a couple of years, glad they're still going. Thank you, Captain! :)

[@sveng8460]

The wait is finally over :-) nice yaa

[@Niloy63]

Mikey Demus' tone is so damn smooth/buttery for having that much gain. I love it! Sounds like his Mason bridge pickup is killer. And it probably doesn't hurt that he's got that head bobbin' groove in his rhythm and his leads. Awesome interview!

[@claytonduguay9617]

This format really expands my music world, and Mike's a LEFTY to boot! Too cool. Sweet guitars and a slightly unique style to his play. Well done!

[@Hows_Ur_Oulwan]

*THE CAPTAIN MEETS JOHN FRUSCIANTE*

[@chrisgehrig3956]

Finally!

[@PakoraToes]

That is beard goals right there, god damn

[@MNGuitars]

love skindred, used to listen heavily in high school with a buddy of mine who found them, good times!!!

[@schlagdog]

No reason to have stopped. They have 7 awesome albums.

[@MNGuitars]

Yea I added them to my spotify! Good to hear them again!

[@schlagdog]

Mike Nappi One of their best albums ever is Union Black from 2011 and it never even got released in the U.S. for some reason.

[@wls64]

G & L Axes at last!!! >=d... I can't wait!

[@wls64]

Thank You Cap'n!!

[@wildersparks9161]

No, says who?

[@wls64]

Lee mentioned during the interview that they have placed their first G&L order.

[@Robstafarian]

I had to give up on G&L because they do not make a neck which is suitable for me. Having said that, G&L will be a great addition to Andertons; I just hope they develop an understanding of the models' respective benefits before shooting videos.

[@wildersparks9161]

G&L makes almost every neck profile. www.glguitars.com/instruments/USA/options/guitar.asp I feel like their main problem is distribution. Most people don't know about them and those who do look at them as Fender lite. I think they build a better guitar than Fender.

[@jobelewis6416]

Met this guy a little while ago and had a chat. Really awesome guy to hang with

[@RenanBeltrao]

Orange is just f¨*&$¨#*@ awesome!

[@TheNaughtydog75]

great guy great band

[@jasoncrump1886]

Just got me some rotosound 10/54 mikey strings. I've been digging the rotosounds 10/52 but I play in d standard so wanted to try the thicker bottom. Those Rotosounds have some great chug to em and screaming pinch harmonics. Hadn't tried em before and finally gave em a go . Gonna throw these 54s on it this weekend.

[@Craigpyrog]

Great interview and good to see the British flag being flown. Very cool guy.

[@SpookyLukeyD]

Captain needs to meet Ler from Primus!

[@jacksimmons1999]

Come to mansons guitar show this year captain plz

[@leonardokula5742]

Captain Meets a real musician.. this gotta happen!

[@Metallion98]

I am so going to steal riffs from this video. :)

[@tapilaha]

hell yeah!

[@duncanboyle244]

We need a sound like Mikey Demus!!

[@Lemmysfinger]

Rotosound strings are great. I've been using them for 15 years now after switching from a very well known brand and I'm not changing anytime soon.

[@jamesortiz5388]

great show! the look, blues brothers​ billy gibbons.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

This is why I love Manson guitars mateee

[@christianutter5383]

Cap meets Josh Middleton (Sylosis). Great player, great taste in gear.

[@000MidnightSun]

The Captain meets Mikael Akerfeldt! DO IT!!!

[@5urg3x]

Skindred are so fkn underrated

[@GazMoz78]

Never heard of Skindred or Mikey, but he seems like a nice fella and his guitar tone is brutal!!! Normally I'm not keen on the modern Djent tones but his sound is really chunky, I like it! :-)

[@schlagdog]

Gary Moseley Nothing about Skindred is Djent. They has so many songs that should have been radio hits it's ridiculous. Their management never spent any time on the U.S. market but they are pretty popular in Europe. They are crazy good and extremely underrated

[@GazMoz78]

schlagdog suppose it's just Lee mentioned djent so it was in my brain, but C# is in the ballpark. Anyway great guitar sound😊

[@schlagdog]

Gary Moseley I think the Captain thinks if you detune your guitar it's Djent. Djent is more a style of tight syncopated guitar. Skindred is completely unique sounding. Listen to songs like "pressure" or "kill the power" and any of their singles. It sounds mostly like. I other band or genre.

[@stevehogan8829]

Last time I saw that much black and red was on a 58 Pontiac at a Cinco DeMayo parade.

[@McNoiseboy]

Hey Captain, the Agincourt gig, do you remember the crowd fully parting in the middle, crowding the walls before the start of 'Bruises', then literally running at each other when the tune started? That was Skindred for sure, after their debut album came out (2002). Totally ace gig. If you do remember that - I was there too!

[@turbine3780]

i met him a few years back in denmark street !!!!!

[@bencliff1790]

SKINDRED!!!!

[@tonefingerz2021]

the jam at 39 mins totally squished my suicidal thoughts man. thx guys

[@TheShinyShow]

I die every time capn calls bim djenty.

[@arvedbohn6133]

Steve Hackett! Or Mike Rutherford! Or both!!! :D

[@majormajo1]

100% rock! 🔥

[@GuitarBillCurran]

I saw Skindred get booed off the stage once roughly 10-12 years ago at the arena in Lowell Mass. I felt really bad for those dudes, I liked that song they had on the radio, it's tough opening for Slayer.

[@LeoVasil]

I know it might seem too far, but it would be awesome if you could get Slash to the show when Guns N' Roses pass from London.

[@NotSosigRamsey]

8:05 Never seen that before a right handed guy playing a lefty guitar and Rabea is actually a lefty so that shows that Left handed guitar is just a myth

[@sergejkrynycky728]

And now he's in Rob Chapman solo band. :D

[@harryvincent]

If they do this with Simon Neil I'll cry.

[@ZeSnes]

Im one of those kids that my dad wanted me to learn on a shitty accoustic guitar.Luckily after i got some money saved i got an electric and im still playing it everyday today.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

DAAAAAMN

[@maxscardanelli6185]

The Captain Meets Slash please!!!

[@ViggoRoffe]

Please meet Stu from King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard they're in the UK soon !

[@lawsont4396]

Gotta get Hetfield on this...

[@Islandsoundzz]

Can't wait for the Captain to meet Joe Satriani or Greg Howe

[@AkhouryAbhi]

DISCOUNT BILLY GIBBONS.

[@andym28]

AkhouryAbhishek Lmao Lidls Billy Gibbons

[@tillsommerdrums]

*ding* (adds one cinemasin sin)

[@seangomez1912]

Meet Michael Camarena or Erick Hansel of CHON!

[@ahsleywithabeard]

Mikey! I am left handed but I play guitar right handed

[@kulinick]

Hi, i have a question. Why don't you guys stock or review G&L guitars? Just Curious considering even so much small stores keep them in stock.

[@justpressplay4231]

It's interesting because I never really got the "get out the acoustic and play" approach... my first real guitar was electric and I pretty much just played badly on that until I learned how not to suck... long hard process but I'm at least half decent now

[@mikaelforss5725]

You just must meet Mattias IA Eklundh!

[@richardhuckle5715]

When you can't grow head hair ! Has the Capt thought about going to Download festival to do a few back stage interviews ?

[@frankengelmann8386]

you should have Mark Knopfler on the show! Millions of good stories for sure :-) and not to forget the guitarplaying

[@billybob728]

captain meets marco sfogli OR captain meets michael romeo!

[@pauldigga5419]

I saw skindred back in 2001

[@aidengeary2441]

The capt meets Slash.

[@danielgorman8725]

Where´s his mate Pliers?

[@GGGG-si3jr]

The capt meets Alex lifeson!!!,

[@flynn_22]

Or Dave grohl

[@adonislajara6955]

Can you please do a Strandberg review

[@fretwireonfire]

How cushy is your pay packet and how hard is it to get a work visa in the UK?

[@G3kk0852xbox]

Please find a way to meet Adam Jones.

[@IanVase]

That dog bark tho

[@ankerguitar]

I didn't know billy gibbons had a son ?? 🤘🏻

[@GreenmanXIV]

Captain, meets Robert Cray, that would really nail the blues. Not much chance I know, still I might win the €uro millions. ;-)

[@Emmemort]

Captain meets Tommy Emmanuel !!!!

[@darkinertia2]

whoa thats crazy, a righty playing lefty?! im a lefty that plays righty just because it was economical lol

[@flynn_22]

He looks like billy gibbons from zz too

[@archymcfyre]

Does anyone else get nervous when 2 very expensive looking guitars are played so close together in that cramped looking room, especially when one is left handed and the other right?

[@flynn_22]

They never really do anything on nu metal at andertons

[@leozebiosthor6242]

He looks like he could be Billy Gibbon's son

[@mca1960]

O, very nice a clone of Billy Gibbons ?

[@Elshibly]

sunglasses. bruh

[@colinrobertson4569]

the capt meets any old musician that's passing through Guilford 😉

[@oldrocker6536]

1st to comment on an andertons vid - fame at last

[@5urg3x]

There’s a common misconception that Kurt wasn’t really a good guitar player. Nothing could be further from the truth. No he wasn’t EVH but he knew his way around the fingerboard and his solos are some of the most iconic and recognizable in all of rock. Listen to the solo from In Bloom and tell me that isn’t pure genius.

[@alexandre5882]

Sunglasses indoors?clever hehe

[@sutt5828]

Ooooh fuck mansons on andertons!!! Devon goes to the dark side...

[@flynn_22]

Different from the nu metal stuff

[@jamesdavies1179]

captain again forgetting a Mexican strat would be the family jewels for alot of players. definitely for me anyway.

[@schlagdog]

The Captain needs to actually know what Djent is. Skindred is pretty much 0% Djent and so is Mikey's playing. Skindred should be way more popular than they are. They are completely unique sounding and have so many great songs they should be rock radio staples. I think their management has dropped the ball several times with them.
