I have used the JLD on at least five guitars over the past 15 years, It has rendered an unplayable guitar to be quite playable once again. Thank you for this video.

A Man with Ethics What the Hell!!🙀

Thanks Tristan 👏👏👏👏❤️💜🩵💙🤍🩶🖤🩷

Even though Paul Di'Anno was more known for having an aggressive voice and look, I think deep down he was a sensitive guy. I think that’s why songs like Strange World and Remember Tomorrow exist. It showed a tender side of him. He could sing like an angel if he wanted to. Rest in peace Paul Di'Anno, my favorite Iron Maiden singer. ❤

For recording in a DAW: initial signal does not need to be very high. You definitely don't want to redline, but you don't need a large waveform either. There are many ways to make the signal louder. There are saturators that can give you a nice round distortion if that's what you are looking for. But to keep the noise floor low or nonexistent is the most important. Pickup noise is the biggest culprit. That or cord noise. But even at that, there are AI noise suppressor plugins that can fix it. And as far as plugins, they give you a lot of flexibility. And there are some great ones from 10 to 30 dollars apiece. Lately, I've been using some designed by Butch Vig and Tony Maserati respectively.

The Kinks are my 2nd favorite group after the Beatles. The Kinks have always been greatly underrated. My question is why does our society always have to rate? The "Goat" discussion.....I hate it and I follow a different path. I love and enjoy both groups going on 6 decades plus. Both should be enjoyed and appreciated!

Absolutely - I have a stash of good-quality ties and use them often. I'm also fond of the wider, flat ones commonly used on bags of coffee - I peel them off the bag and they make a great cable wrap.

What a stupid title.

The Kinks were great, but this is beside the point. If they were not the guys who played on that Ed Sullivan show where 75 million people watched, they are not as influential. A generation was shopping for guitars the next morning. I grant, "You Really Got me" is very influential, but not the first to feature distortion, that goes back to "Rumble". To say that the Kinks vignettes influenced prog, more than say, "Sgt. Pepper' is ludicrous. I love the Kinks, no question, but not as influential.

I hate the bright sound of me strings. I want them absolutely dead.

I love a brand new set of strings . And they are even better on the second day . It’s good to wear them right down . Then you fully appreciate the new pack .

Please don’t do that

Thanks Tristan 💜💙❤️🤍🖤🩷👏👏💯💯💥💥

Ya, sure, ha-ha... this makes my day! he-he...

You look like a madman but they'll see when its actually cake who gets the last bite.

I find on SG's I most certainly do not have full access to all the notes. That damn horn does obstruct my hand on the highest notes. I play a righty flipped upside down, so it's mostly the high strings that are blocked, but still. There are a number of notes I can only reach in a very awkward, unnatural position. The only guitar I've ever played that doesn't block me is a V. Other than that, I think they're great.

👏👏👋🎸🎉💙💜❤️ Thanks Tristan!

Paul.

Feels so great to be able to do such things on your own. I just finished my first self made fret polish a week ago on one of my most beloved guitars and it feels simply amazing again. Thanks for encouraging and helping the guitar diy community.🤘

great!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Tristan.

What replacement tubes would you recommend for these, and which ones would you advise against? Thanks in advance

I’m a Bruce guy through and through. But something certainly was lost with Paul’s departure. I also agree that Bruce never shared the struggle from the beginning with the band because everything was already laid out for him when he took over. Despite these observations, I don’t agree that Maiden would have been able to grow to the pinnacle of their genre, and they certainly would have not been sustainable throughout these last 50 years with Paul. Even if Paul didn’t have his drug problems, his style would have remained limited and they would have been nothing more than punk-metal band who would certainly not be around in 2024, and most of us would have probably never heard of them to begin with. So in a way, as much as those who favor Paul, there’s a good chance wouldn’t have ever known of Maiden’s first two albums if it wasn’t for the band and Bruce taking things to the ultimate level for which they have for all these years

Cool video. Great arguments. However, on the topic of distortion... The Kinks were not the first to put distortion on record. Dick Dale's "Misirlou", the Pulp Fiction theme, was released in 1962. Heavy guitars on that. If you search for "early distortion in rock'n roll", you'll find surprisingly distorted records going back to the 1940s. The first real distortion on a Beatles track is probably Day Tripper in 1965, although Revolver is where the Beatles adopt proper distortion into their sound. But that's only on record. If you go back to "Live at the Star Club" recorded in 1962, you can hear the punky distortion in their live act. As a Beatles fan, this was a revelation, making it clear that producer George Martin was responsible for cleaning up their guitar sound, making it as palatable as possible for Beatlemania pop fans. Not knocking the Kinks. They're a great band with some great songs, my favourite being "Dedicated Follower of Fashion". Interesting that the Kinks and the Beatles didn't talk about eachother much. I believe they appeared on the same bill several times in 1964. Perhaps they were secretly jealous of one another. I'm definitely team Beatles, yet have nothing but respect for the one and only Kinks. Cheers!

Hahahahahahah...what a joke! Yeah, it wasn't actually the Beatles that started the whole British invasion, it was the Kinks...O come now! There is more to the Beatles than Distortion. The Kinks are way too English in their sound, too insular. The Kinks had one good album and the rest contained some good songs but a lot of filler! Remember now paranoia- soul destroyer!

Well these days the younger generation don't even know who the hell the kinks are. The Beatles had 295.5 million records sold versus the 50 million the kinks sold. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which one reached more people and thus had a bigger impact. The Beatles were also better organized in terms of band members and the people who surrounded them. The Beatles broke far more than just some distorted cords that the kinks produced. Also as solo artists the Beatles destroyed the lowly kinks with Lennon, Macarthy, Harrison and Ringo have successful careers. Having said all of this I will take the Stones all day everyday over either band. So in closing this video is nothing more than mental masturbation.

My Favourite is Paul, always been a huge great fan of Paul ever since.😀👍👍🌟🌟🌟

A couple lesser-heard pieces of the historical puzzle: The Soundhouse Tapes - early Maiden demos with Di'Anno: ruclips.net/video/89xjuymBTw8/видео.html Bruce Dickinson's audition tape for Maiden - ruclips.net/video/dt0KO6f4ijg/видео.html

Bonus points for anyone who can identify the one visible Maiden album on screen during this discussion! (And yes, my t-shirt is really THAT old.)

It's almost like 2 different bands. I remember when the first album with Bruce came out, I didn't like it at first, but I grew to be a fan of it. If Paul had stayed, they would have been more mainstream, and Adrian Smith would have had more influence. If Bruce had been there from the beginning, I don't think they would have been as big at first, but the end result would have been the same.

The Kinks are the best of the best!!! No argument.

Yamaha tops the list of things you regret selling/parting with. Doesn't matter what it is. IMHO, the worst thing they make is motorcycles, and that's only because of parts availability after 25 years.

Oh man. I have a vintage es355 and I’d love to try and buy the SA Yamaha. I have a Yamaha Revstar gen1 and it is beautiful action. Good brand Yamaha in anything they do. Their studio monitors are great solid things

Dunlop tortex standard 1mm but i have totex flow on the way to try, cant wait to try em

How many bands had hits with Kinks kovers? How many with Beatles covers. 'Nuff said.

Coffee or tea?

Finally, someone is talking sensibly. Now, take a closer look at Dave Davies and his contribution and lasting influence.

Do not get talked into pulling the frets out of your guitar. You were warned.

The only downside to some of the Kinks early work was production quality. Other than that the songwriting was brilliant! And to get the spirit of the Kinks check out the film promo for Dead Dnd Street. Thanks for the video...

Short and on point, love it!

I would say each band influenced the other, but The Beatles came out of nowhere without precedent and broke so much new ground there’s almost no way to gauge their influence. You Really Got Me certainly was the forerunner of punk and established the riff as no one else had.. but might not have happened without the intro to I Want to Hold Your Hand. One other thought, was recently listening to End of the Season and thought, this is how you really write about a character, this is how you evoke another era.. not When I’m 64, which, bouncy and hummable as it is, lacks the depth Ray brings.

👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯❤️💙🤍💜🖤

The Kinks practically invented both Heavy Metal and Punk Rock.

The Kinks are on another level. The subject matter is timeless. The songwriting is pure genius. They have a mind blowing range of music throughout their catalog. They never played the game. They have total integrity. Had it not been for that U.S. ban between 65-69 they would be held in the same esteem as The Beatles.

Love the kinks , they are in my all time top 5 rock bands. No question who is still to this day the greatest rock band of all time. The fab 4, the mop tops , you guessed it. Sadly, when the kinks were not allowed to come to the US. In the late 1960s, the put out some of their greatest music.

on ray davies's 13th birthday his sister got for him as a gift his first electric guitar. later that night she went dancing. she died on the dancing floor from a previously undiagnosed heart condition thus COME DANCING and their song don't forget to dance. don't forget to dance always reminds me of the early kinks song don't change. deep into their careers the beatles were recording children's songs such as mr. kite (inspired by an old carnival poster), lucy in the sky (inspired by a child's drawing), good morning (inspired by a cereal commercial), octopus's garden, yellow submarine, bungalow bill (which could have been used for a video clip on captain kanagroo). the beatles only had two rocking songs : back in the ussr (inspired by the beach boys's california girls) and helter skelter (inspired by a ... slide at an amusement park). the beatles basically did pop (the early years), folk rock (after the byrds and dylan), psychedelic (after san fransico had wrestled the title of music capitol of the world away from london). most of their songs are about the universal subject of : love. the kinks on the other hand were much more english, much more observational and much more personal in their music + you really got me changed music forever. when discussing the beatles you MUST mention george martin. he was classically trained. it was he who added the musical complexities to the beatles with his apparent adage 'let's throw some strings on it.'

Its all BS because the tone and recordability is down to how its miked what amp it goes through as well as the sound affects. Add in a ton of distortion and any old plank with strings on it will do the job.
