    I was probably waiting outside that building when this was recorded
    Definitely the best show I've seen so far!!!
    Good times

    It's kind of really refreshing to see a very modern-sounding metal band buck the digital modelling trend and use a lot of good old-school gear.

      Aside from the keyboarder who has a weird software-only setup. As a keyboard player I'm kinda disappointed.:/
      It also seems unnecessarily complicated, unintuitive and prone to failure.

    • @bremsnix
      @bremsnix Před 8 lety +31

      +UrsaMajor I guess it's just that for these Rig Rundowns its kinda boring to just see the typical, IEM, Axe Fx, 7 String Guitar, setup. It sure is lightweight, easy to handle, robust and reliable...It's just not fun to look at for the 300th time.

      I definitely get that! I love seeing traditional rig rundowns myself. I enjoy the convenience and portability of my Axe Fx but miss my tube rig and big pedalboard at times.

      The thing with the bands on Axe FX rigs would be a bit more interesting if they went through some of their banks. Like "yea I used a roland JC-120 mixed with a Fender Twin reverb and some delay for my clean sound. For some dirty rigs I used a diezel, a peavey, and a Mesa for most of the distorted patches". I know Javier from AAL went through a couple patches. Just my opinion though

      Not only are today’s The Contortionist unparalleled amongst their peers live, but it’s funny that you compared them to a band with no vocalist to begin with lol
      It’s even more interesting when literally hundreds of hours exist on CZcams of TC jamming live; you might enjoy checking them out some time ✌️

      Nothing against axefx, but for these Rigged episodes, it definitely makes them more interesting when they're old school rigs like this. I think

      Totally agree, man. I love to see traditional setups myself. If they use Axe Fx, I'd actually like to know more about what's going on inside. What amp block, cab block, etc they use/prefer. Would make it a LITTLE more interesting. haha

    How do you synch the guitars with the drums on Language, at the beginning of Intuition in the first few minutes--with the delay / repeat? I mean, how does the drummer stay in synch, besides being f'ing awesome. Headset? Click? Sorry if this is a novice question.
