I do own a 5150iii but I have to say that the original models did not have as much gain in the second channel, it has the amount and gain structure of an old school JCM 800.. but the more recent Stealth and El34 models have way more gain in the second channel.. I can't wait to try one in person as I want to make the switch. Otherwise, the original Peavey 5150/6505 in the crunch channel with the bright switch on!

These guys are awesome and are always very friendly and I'dd love to be able to just spend 5 minutes in the same room with them... love Joey and Charlie and eveyone that's been fortunate to be in this band.
Scott makes me want to play guitar all the time. I got to meet him in 2018 and with no camera's around and other ppl it was him and his tour manager. He was just like this he gets excited just talking about music. Also very humble person. Even though I knew who he was still put his hand out and said hi I'm Scott Ian. The man is awesome 🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼
Scott Ian, Dave Mustaine, Eric Peterson, Gary Holt... There's still some truly phenomenal metal riff masters out there from those early thrash metal years - long may that continue!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've seen Anthrax twice and both times they opened for SLAYER, the second time being the last time I ever saw Slayer. Also, R.I.P. to Scott Ian's LEGENDARY father-in-law, MEAT LOAF, who passed away early this year!
I first saw them on the State of Euphoria tour as a kid, man they were Fkin' killing it back then ! The second time was at Download, unfortunately, I had a few too many sherberts and can't remember shit, except they were rather good, LOL.
Absolutely right! 👍 The combination of Bello / Benante is certainly something to behold, even nowadays!! One of the all-time best rhythm sections in metal 🤘🤘
I really like Seymour Duncans, but they're a bit pricy (worth the money though). A while back when I was looking for a decent budget AlNiCo bridge pupfor my Gibson V so I bought the IronGear Dirty Torque instead of my usual JB. Normally I'd just stick a budget brand into my cheaper mod guitars. They're pretty similar, but the Dirty Torque is only £37/$43. You'd think at that price they'd be rather crappy, but I was actually really pleasantly surprised, the DT is a really, really nice sounding AlNiCo 5, much tighter lows and nicer mids compared to a JB IMHO. More recently I've bunged in an IG Platinum 90 P90 into my LP Junior double cut, and it sounds absolutely brilliant. Dunno why Iron Gear aren't more popular TBH!
Frank Bello is the man!! Amazing that a guy who has been in the game since forever is still so passionate about gear and music!! Also, as a bassist, is pretty cool to see him using the EBS multicomp and the Sansamp, which are my two "always on" pedals...
man in 2013 ish i was working at sam ash, Frank came in for a demo and one of his pedals choices we were supposed to have set up for him we didn't have, the guys knew i built fuzz pedals so they asked meI turned them onto the way huge mk2 swollen pickle, frank loved it over the micro phone he thanked me and gave the store a word up. then later that day i got fired from sam ash because i had dropped below the required commision line haha. it was good for me though now I build pedals for a living for the last 10 years and im loving life. frank was such a cool humble normal dude. a very nice guy
I saw Scott and the band in the departure lounge in some airport in Austria a few years back. And I plucked up courage and got him to sign my boarding pass! Top guy!
Interesting that Scott’s using .88 tortex picks these days. I have one of his ‘NOT’ picks that I caught at a show on the Among the Living tour. Don’t know what brand he was using then, but it was incredibly thin and high gloss. His sound was still crushingly heavy. Had the pleasure of meeting the dude on the State of Euphoria tour too. I’ll be seeing them live next week too, almost exactly 35 years since the first time. Damn, where did the time go?!! 🤘
I played thrash back in the day, and was used to thin picks as well: Tortex 0.60 (orange) or even 0.50 (red)... It's something you get used to, but also it helped as I played guitars with Floyd Rose tremolos - you needed a slightly lighter touch to chug in tune 🤣🤘 Nowadays I usually play rhythm with a hardtail, and that enables me to use heavier picks (Dunlop Jazz!) and I can easily move between one or the other...
Scott is the king the chug..I listen to Anthrax Persistent of Time when first came out blew my mind it’s on my top 5 thrash metal list. I listen that album to get my going and pumped. It got me though jr high
I saw Frank Bello with Antrax at the bayou in Washington DC maybe 1988. I was on the balcony and I was on his side so he was in my face the whole time and it was aweesome
Totally agree with you. I'm not so much into "pointy" guitars...but I really love Scott's signature V's. I'm more of the Les Paul/ Tele and mostly Superstrats guy.
I think most pointy guitars only look good if they've got vintage style aesthetics, otherwise, the majority tend to look fuckin' redonculous, basically something a massively misinformed 14-year-old would buy with his combined Xmas, Birthday & Confirmation/Bar/Bat Mitzvah money. Also, they date faster than Disco and neon legwarmers. Those fuckin' hideous custom graphic Dean Razorbacks spring to mind. Most, if not all of the time I reckon you can only get away with it if you're playing it ironically: Eg Satchels' signature Kramer Pacer.
For some reason I'm obsessed with Scott's tone lately. Ever since I saw a soundcheck a few weeks ago that they did in South America with Danny Lilker. His tone is just perfect to me.
I saw Anthrax open for Volbeat with that guitarist. I didn’t know who he was. I stood really close to him on the left side. He’s technical. Joey was the singer.
PLEASE DO A RIG RUNDOWN WITH GRADY CHAMPION AND ZAKK FOR THE PANTERA TRIBUTE !!! Zakk is going to be using Dimebag Darrell's gear and it needs to be documented like this!!! A LOT of people would love that!!!!!!
anthrax always got that mean modern crushing sound, they don't shy away from making their live sound as good as it gets and don't hold back just to sound like the old records
Glad to hear another guitarist along with Joe Bonamassa to drop the truth about 9-42 strings sound better than heavier strings. I didn't believe it. But it's so true.
@@Ottophil Well I'm sorry for you "Otto".😳 That's pretty sad brother. Hopefully you've not been playing for years. That would be even more sad. Not only can I hear it,...the sensitivity is WAY WAY better. Oh well. I guess some people just don't have an ear. I hope you develop the ability to hear th as t difference one day. Its damn obvious. SMFH
I once put 12's on my ESP Viper in Drop D for some reason, all it did was annoy my fingers and make me cramp up. Too much tension makes your tone all crappy, in all honesty, you usually need a bit of flap on your strings for a good tone. Also, what's the point in punishing yourself, if you're using a lighter gauge just adjust your playing a bit so it's a bit less neanderthal. I switched to D'Addario 009-046s, You can still dig in hard, but not punish yourself when it comes to leads and bends. Also, if you're recording leads with a Floyd or Kahler stringing the guitar with a set of 7 or 8s can sound pretty fuckin' hilarious, even better if you're using a DigiTech Whammy!
@@Rr0gu3_5uture Yep. I started out EARLY with heavy's. GHS Zakk Wylde sigs. 12-63 in 1996. Yeah,...I know. Retarded. Eventually I settled on 10-52 around 2000. Then,....a couple 3 or 4 years ago,....I heard Joe B. saying "you metal heads are zapping your tone with that telephone cable.". I didn't want to believe it. But,....tried a set of Daddario NY/XL's 9-42,....as one does. I haven't went back since. He was so right. And I actually enjoy playing alot more as well. I did try some 8's after I saw the Beato vid. Can't do that. Lol
EVH!!!!!....Eds equipment has made as much as an impact as his playing....extreme metal bands still use his stuff. I love seeing it. Nobody in history has done more for guitar,pound for pound, that one Edward Van Halen.
I wish there was a little more time from Donais. I'm an old hardcore metal guy and he was always great in Shadows Fall. Also Brian Fair in Overcast. I miss the old days!!
That CheckerBoard is awesome although I reckon it would look better with a zebra pickup instead of the check pattern (yeah I know that the original has that but so what haha)
Scott Ian! I am a 45 year old Anthrax nut. My favorite song to play at guitar stores is "Medusa". Old metal heads talk my ears off for hours after that.lol
Several things I got from Scott years ago was the pick thing. I started scoring the picks after one of his interviews and then I stepped it up a level. I take a hot soldering iron and run the tip randomly around the gripping area. It actually raises a sharp edge and is SO good. And I also began using the NYXL strings. The Ernie Ball 8 gauge strings sound like ass, but the NYXL 8's sound BETTER than 9s or 10s. They are amazing. But I am not beating the shit out of them every night like Scott, so mine last as long as I want them to. But I also clean and oil the strings regularly
That shirt is in poor taste. It's funny af, but completely inappropriate for a metal show. Am I the only one that realizes it's making fun of Cliff getting smashed like a pancake?! I can't be, right?
@@boofert.washington2499 I thought it says Panicakes, as in Cliff's pre-Metallica band Panic, but yeah I commented on it being a bit dark. Part of me thinks Cliff would laugh at it, but maybe you don't go there.
@@boofert.washington2499 bro what?! You've missed the point of the shirt by a mile. Whenever they played master of puppets, Cliff thought James shouted "PANCAKES" instead of the actual lyrics, "FIX ME". Because of that, James always says pancakes while preforming the song live. Even today he does it. The shirt is a way to remember a good friend and amazing musician.
@@metalben005 ahhhhh, I see. It's an inside joke that only Metallica fans know about. That explains it, bc I can't stand Metallica. They have Lars, that's why.
With Tony's fingers, I seriously doubt he could play anything heavier. Along with his playing style, it certainly gives him a really unique tone. I imagine tuning might be a pain in the arse at times though.
Shadows Fall should come up north to NH for a little reunion Jam. Love those guys. I have enjoyed John being in Anthrax, that dude rocks whatever he is involved in.

Man... Donais never got to release that Dean signature, huh?
Scott’s always had the dopest Jacksons
I'm always jealous for Scott, Jackson's King V is my favourite.
First guy I ever saw playing a surfcaster
I’ve never been interested in getting a Jackson until I saw Scott’s King V.
So cool to see how Scott Ian is so enthusiastic about music and gear after all these years.
Just wrote the same thing about Frank Bello!! They are passionate guys for sure!! hehehe
Indeed! I love to see him freshen his rig up from now to then with new stuff that always retains his core tone. I do own a 5150iii but I have to say that the original models did not have as much gain in the second channel, it has the amount and gain structure of an old school JCM 800.. but the more recent Stealth and El34 models have way more gain in the second channel.. I can't wait to try one in person as I want to make the switch. Otherwise, the original Peavey 5150/6505 in the crunch channel with the bright switch on! It is my go to tone for thrash and it cost me near nothing. Scott's custom shop King Vs are to die for! These guys are awesome and are always very friendly and I'dd love to be able to just spend 5 minutes in the same room with them... love Joey and Charlie and eveyone that's been fortunate to be in this band.

There's still some truly phenomenal metal riff masters out there from those early thrash metal years - long may that continue!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
There was a period of a few years there where Scott Ian was everywhere you looked. You could not escape him. He was in everything but the crib.
Behind the Music, Supergroup, I Love The 80's, basically anything MTV/VH1 made in the early 00's, he was in it.
He did a world tour with Mr Bungle with Dave Lombardo about a year ago dude.
He hasn’t gone anywhere.
I've seen Anthrax twice and both times they opened for SLAYER, the second time being the last time I ever saw Slayer. Also, R.I.P. to Scott Ian's LEGENDARY father-in-law, MEAT LOAF, who passed away early this year!
I actually didn't know that his father-in-law was Meat Loaf, that's cool
Last Slayer tour was awesome. Napalm Death, Testament, Anthrax, Slayer. Was a great show. 👍

@@andrewpappas9311 Well, Scott Ian married Meat Loaf's oldest daughter, Pearl Aday, who worked as a backup singer for Meat Loaf in the mid-90s.

Absolutely right! 👍
The combination of Bello / Benante is certainly something to behold, even nowadays!! One of the all-time best rhythm sections in metal 🤘🤘
Love how Scott gets so excited about his tone and equipment he truly is awesome !!!
I had a JB put into my Les Paul 20 years ago and never looked back. Best Rock/Metal bridge pickup around, IMO.

Thank you Premier Guitar for NOT censoring out the f-bombs!
I love how Scott has maintained the "edge"/bite in his tone, when a lot of other bands have downtuned and lost it.
🎁
Most bands downtune to compensate for the vocalists range with age. His tones fantastic still though
as long as joey's voice still high as hell, they still use E tuning
@@divaiswara293 They've mostly been recording in drop c# since the end of the bush era. Still play older stuff in it's original tuning of course
Uuhhhĥh he said all his guitars are drop c.
Man, I'm actually pretty interested in what the Scott Ian modified JB pickup would sound like. I bet it slays
there's the custom shop el diablo that he endorsed for a while, but it's a pretty different design from the jb
Love the Seymour JB.
Probably nasty as shit in a good way.
Bigger magnet? That will make it a Distortion.
Arguably unnecessary to think of it. Just get a JB and a good guitar play like a maniac
I’m a drummer and I love watching, hearing anyone geek out about their gear. Love it!!!
📥📥📥☝️
God the guys in Anthrax are so cool and down to earth. Love that band more all the time!

@@metalben005 ahhhhh, I see. It's an inside joke that only Metallica fans know about. That explains it, bc I can't stand Metallica. They have Lars, that's why.
"What else you gonna do on a tour bus? "
Bloody hell. I can think of a couple of things....
You just can't beat the flying V design.
Sg is way better and lighter
Hahaha, Frank is such a nice bloke, he's like everyone's favourite Uncle!
Tony iommi uses 8/32, so the tone isn’t in the size of the strings but in the fingers (ironically)
With Tony's fingers, I seriously doubt he could play anything heavier. Along with his playing style, it certainly gives him a really unique tone. I imagine tuning might be a pain in the arse at times though.
Billy Gibbons uses very light gauge too. I know he's not metal but his tone is killer!
"Just fake it, it's bass" fuckin kills me 🤣
Shadows Fall should come up north to NH for a little reunion Jam. Love those guys. I have enjoyed John being in Anthrax, that dude rocks whatever he is involved in.
Congratulations to Jonathan Donais for his wedding.
Sweet shirt Mr. Ian! Pancakes and Cliff Burton!? Excellent combo haha!!
