Agreed 100%. As a player who played in bands in the 90s, it’s easy to be wowed so much by todays production. You forget about the music writing part. Quit worrying about recording and start playing live
When you started playimg guitar i thought you was fixing to jam that Chris Issak song,you know the one.....lol
I love this channel I hope all is well and you're happy and healthy. Ready for some new videos..
Hello, fun video. Here Spedding discusses the Pistols starting at around 43:50'': czcams.com/video/npAhM1PGUiI/video.html&ab_channel=EveryoneLovesGuitar
There's a video on CZcams called 'play along with sex pistol Steve Jones'. He plays a few NMTB tracks.
Yeah I'm more interested if he could play it when he was still learning in the 70's.
Man that sound brings back memories. My first effect pedal was a Big Muff that I used with my cheap pawn shop Flying V sort of guitar but the wings were chopped off. Ran it through a cheap pawn shop bass amp and had the best sound. Only years later did I find out the speaker had a hole in it which probably took it over the top with the heavy fuzz and distortion. Added a Crybaby wah wah pedal after that to really get good sound.
Next up, you'll be getting trolled by Geezer Butler LOL
thanks for this video I bought this device 4 years ago
This clown is an insult to clowns.
Just picking up on the point there of amp modellers, DAWs and using headphones, etc. There is so much reliance these days by even the 'rawest' of bands on running everything through DAWs and all the convenience that comes with that, to the point where all feel is lost. They create massive and complex sounds, but it lacks that human element, and the chaotic energy. I play/record at home, and have to use headphones, but my set up is as simple as possible. I run my guitar through a Dan electro distortion pedal, into a cheap amp, then into an old zoom reverb and effect processor. That then goes into a mixer and the line-in on my PC, where I record to audacity. Is it ideal? No, but it's simple enough with a lot of room for experimenting. Physically turning knobs and adjusting the signal chain to get a sound that can't really be created through plugins.
I can see what youre saying but like myself as a guitarist i play at my best in the studio also adding ambiance and flavours to the mix to make it as large as possible that you will never hear me doing on stage, and quite offten i sound like steve on a bad day too, its what we all do isnt it, i think the mix that was acheived was massive and probably like chris Thomas said it was the lack of proper bass that made him work even harder to create something explosive and it definitely worked
@@davidbrooks9073 Think about the first time you ever heard yourself being played back after recording. Really cast your mind back at how horrified you were. Then think about playing a bass and sounding like a seasoned pro FIRST TIME YOU EVER PICK UP A BASS. I'm not buying it
@@CIRCLEOFTONE I've always thought I sound better in the studio than I do live, I don't mean I sound great in either situation tbh, but the 1st time for me was playing bass and thought it was good for myself. I think the album was finished off to sound like the anarchy single which had Glen on it otherwise it would've sounded disjointed. I've heard loads of different recordings of the pistols live and there are a few that Jones is totally on top form yet I've also heard loads more where he really is as bad as they say, and that's where I liken it to my own live play that is nothing like my studio time, it's something that is costing money and you can hear yourself properly and generally not fuelled by as many drugs or alcohol as I would be live because of nerves. Have you heard how bad the clash also sounded live in the early days to what the album's sounded like, very different to my ears. I see in the comments and video talking about spedding talking but I only see Thomas and price speaking or maybe I've missed something.there is a recentish video of spedding talking about his involvement on CZcams. Rotten over the years has spoken a lot of needless twoddle, but he has always remained true about calling out fakes and I would've thought if Steve had faked this he would be the 1st to call it out. You are right about the professional's recordings but I also think Steve hates it too and is far better only having his guitar bits to concentrate on
@@davidbrooks9073 the bands often do don't know they were replaced. I've seen interviews where old classic guitarists have claimed they used XYZ hardtail guitar on a song solo...When you CLEARLY hear a whammy bar all over it. Beatles drums etc are a tip of the iceberg.
Fair enough you have your theory, but I think you're underestimating Jones's talent at the time because of a couple of videos of manic times in rock n roll and a rumour already out there of spedding being on the scene thus it must've been him 're recording or at least adding to it. The bottom line really is the music isn't like some vertuoso and is all pretty easy stuff really, when I started playing I was listening to rockabilly and finding that very difficult to play, then I heard NMTB and immediately realised that it not only sounded great that it was also easy to play. I think that if it was faked and became and then became iconic then the person who faked it would want to take credit for it.... no-one has so far
@davidbrooks9073 Don't you think it's a bit strange EVERYTHING he played on after NMTB bombed? Went from greatest punk rock album ever to nothing.
It's interesting watching videos about more traditional guitar recording techniques. Heads, cabinets, mic placements, room sound, etc. Then comparing that to artists who DI guitars through various processors and whatnot. It lets me remember that there is no perfect guitar sound. It's what suits the genre, the feel, and the song itself.
Update: Jordan Boss Tone looks like it fits the bill. I just need a loaner to confirm the sputtery goodness.
I didn't you hear you mention the fact that he tuned down a perfect 4th. This would add to the "buzzy" tone he had on his 4 string. Plus, I don't recall ever seeing a DS-1 on his board. The times I saw him, he was using a Metal Zone distortion. Of course, I see that yours is modified, which I can only guess gives it more of a Metal Zone vibe. Plus it's not too uncommon for lefties to play right handed. I know there have been loads of guitarists to have done so. That way they wouldn't have to take the time to modify the guitar, or learn to play with the strings inverted ala Albert King. I do agree with you that there's an obvious lack of chaos in, not only rock/metal, but in all genres. practically everything is hyper quantized to the grid. When the biggest musical risk that i being taken is Beyonce' doing a Country song, or Dolly Parton doing a Rock album, that's a sad state of affairs.
Yep I've seen a few ref's to a a metalzone so he did use it now and then but he did state its a cheap boss orange pedal (the metalzone was more expensive than the DS1). BUT I have a metalzone so if I ever bring the channel back I could A/B them. The metalzone didn't proliferate into the US until after slow deep and hard so it wasn't released en mass until the end of 91.
Some of the coolest metal albums ever were made with gear that wasn't boutique at all. Plus, different tones were guys just fooling around with the gear they had. I play a solid state CRATE with a metal zone, passive pups and a 20 year old mid range BC rich. Didn't cost shit by comparison but became two of our bands sound that we record with. No hatred to high end gear, but I tried a dual rectifier and wasn't ready to give up my gear.
Hard to believe that a 60yo man (he did say he was 17/18 when NMTB came out?) is engaging in childish fanboy battles (with apparently no one?) of who is really playing guitar on this or that, spewing out "LIAR" memes, no less, like some butt hurt TikTok influencer. Did Jonsey play guitar on the album? Of course he did. Did he get help? I don't think so but who cares? I know that Jones can certainly play guitar now.
At least watch my video eh? I LITERALLY said Jones played on it.
McKenty's channel is a mixed bag. Sometimes he's brilliant but often he's gatekeeper of what's punk, what's not etc etc. etc
@@GS-vb3zn I think he walks the line perfectly. He's way more underground that he let's on but he knows what his audience want to hear.
Amazing, just amazing. Took me right back to 1980 when I saw them for the first time in a tiny local venue. Unbelievable when you think of how massive they are now.
Glad you liked it man
Sarah Connor on meth
Well I'm a black metal fan and I became one way before knowing the history of all the parsons, killings and suicide incidents...none of what you've said convinced me one bit...I just think you're having a hate driven motive to criticize a whole genre in such dogmatic manner...too biased of a judgement imo
@@tarekbaziz hate is right. Clones with trem picking, blast beats and anguished screams killed the underground. Give it another 35 years before it drives you insane too.
Where the hell is this guy and when are we getting more videos??? I love this channel
Pretty Hate Machine had great guitar tones too.
Agreed.
Bowie, Clash, Iggy, Ramones, Siouxsie, Bauhaus...all part of my musical journey (I hit my teens in 1978)...70s and 80s were a musicy wonderland. I have even come to appreciate, enjoy even, prog rock! Your videos are good fun! Thanks.
You may like the Adam and the Ants video I did
Honestly, I don’t like how the first three KsE albums sound. The production, especially the guitar tone, feels unfinished, like a demo almost. As Daylight Dies sounds and feels like the first proper production from them. Just me though.
I think anything that requires lots of speculative mathematics or really giant computer models cannot be taken as fact.
Wait! Bro! Are you telling me you're not following the science?
One guitarist. LOL. I'm no musician, but doesn't basically every JP song have two guitars? How would they even play the songs?
Metal is inherently a more male genre. Of course there are women who like and play it, but there are always going to be more men making it and if for no other reason there aren't going to be as many good metal bands with women in them (I think there are other reasons as well.)
Massive respect fro doing Andy Summers with a fucking Valvestate in the background : )
I used that for Death, Static X and Obituary hehe
@@CIRCLEOFTONE Naturally, there's only one amp for the tome of that time in my opinion : )
Big fan of the sweet. The singer has a perfect rock voice. It got lumped into the glam rock scene, so they are forgotten outside of ballroom blitz
Yep criminally underrated from a pure musician and showmanship vibe.
Great vid! I was a metal fan (Sabbath, Zeppelin, Rush) when the Pistols hit. But I was blown away by the energy of that record that I named "violence on vinyl." Still love it.
I'm a lefty and play right handed. We are out here and there are more of us than you expect
What's up with the channel and where is Owen? Will there be more videos soon? Thanks so much for all of your hard work to produce these. Always look forward to them. Hope all is well with you and your family Owen.
Obituary - death metal band with the best hysteric and unique vocals and crappiest guitar sound
When I was starting out 49 years ago I had one mic. A mic from RadioShack . Since then the one thing I always do to get the sound I want is MIC PLACEMENT! Loudly placed Neman will record perfectly the sound you placed the mic in front of. If you choose the wrong spot, you will record junk perfectly. Place a cheep mic in the right spot it will sound amazing. Learn mic placement. One of the big secrets of a great recording is not found on the Internet. The secret is DO.
💚🖤🇧🇷🤘🏼
My thought was, it was always a cab with a fried speaker in it possibly maybe even done on purpose they may have slipped the cone a little bit. That was what I always figured was going on. 12:47
Yeah I thought something sounded broken.
You never talked about the amp
I say the name around 1:50 but check the description
Fucking ragebait ..
I go into intricate detail down to album cover copying and the 1st wave origins along with Death etc being ripped off. It's a bit fkn detailed to be rage bait.
Damn, u really nailed the tune. awesome
Really, great video/documentary And Great Job Ripping on the Guitars 🎸

@@CIRCLEOFTONE man I love the whole SFSGSW album!
I always wondered about the stories of the guitars..lol. THEY HAD THE BEST GEAR!!
Yep and it just happened to be the EXACT gear Spedding used one year before NMTB was recorded. "Coincidence" haha.
Your dad was in Badfinger!!!!!wow they was badass
This looks like a pine tele as well!
Yep. It's a tribute to the first teles made
@@CIRCLEOFTONE you ok brother?
Yep. Big life change but all ticking along.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE good deal,I know man,I had to trade all the big amps for combo amps,at 51 I'm more of a builder of guitars......it isn't bad tho,I love woodworking,and a lot of the handtools are Uber old and collectible!! Man I've been watching your channel for at least 6 or 7 years,the first video was the Epi with the vintage pickups,I actually rewatched a few!My fav videos are your John Sykes,John McGeoch,Type O,The Cult,and some of those tOCK songs are badass
@@CIRCLEOFTONE I kept trying the band thing,and either a drummer or bassist would wash up on me,well everyone has always brought me their guitars to work on over the years and the first thing my dad showed me was a barre chord and how to move it around,how to tune,and how to check harmonics with a tuner,so I've kinda always been inclined to working on them,but I love learning tho,new scales or songs or tips for sound.but you onbthe other hand you have a gift,a real gift of figuring out how to get the best sounds,and making those videos,i can't wait for the next ones
U ded? RIP CoT 1967-2024
Idk .. it sounds amazingly close to me
Your voice sounds like Jack Grisham from TSOL on dance with me
