A great player. Dave was one of the teachers during my 3 years at London’s Guitar Institute. I saw David Gilmour play The Wall three times with Pink Floyd in 1980/81. Dave Kilminster has done a great job in recreating Gilmour’s sound on Roger’s solo tours, saw him play it at the O2, always knew he was going to go on to big things.
Dave was one of my tutors at Uni........let's just say lectures were interesting. Quality player and sound guy though. He was a left handed player to begin with but broke his wrist so he swapped over to right handed. Madness.
Glad to see Dave back out on the road with Roger this year. Saw him last night, and for some one who plays 90 percent of the leads of the night (Gilmour leads nonetheless), he slayed it no sweat.
Indeed he has. I saw the show in Atlanta a good while back and was just amazed. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing the legendary Wall being performed before me. It was a life changing event for me.
Wrigley Field! I remember that night. Went and saw The Wall(4th time for me) with all of Brad Paisley's band, then went backstage to start the changeover as Paisley played the night after Waters.. I found a signed brick in the pile backstage not sure if its really a Waters Sig or not but I kept it. Dave was great, he had huge shoes to fill and did the job well. Did great on the US and Them tour as well. Weird Wrigley Field fact, at the Brad Paisley show Wrigley broke the record for most beer sold there in one night. The night before Waters broke the record for least amount of beer sold in one night at Wrigley.
Seeing pro guys having colored tape at the end of their leads and the same colored tape above various inputs on their amps and such makes me feel a lot less dumb that I do as well... Take that one or two people who make comments about it at shows!
I am guessing it got really loud on stage so y'all went backstage and continued the rest ? But guys - I would recommend the interviewer carry a collar mic and pass a corded/cordless one to the person you are interviewing.
@Kauê Porte On a scale from 1 to 10, spelling is 2 and playing guitar for Roger Water's The Wall tour is 15. Dave Kilminster doesn't need to know what's under the hood of the car. He just needs to know how to drive it well.
well I can relate to you in this. I don't like too many pedals between me and my amp either. But for the need of these guy ( especially with Pink Floyd) with me that pedal board seems quite simple. Remember the sound of David Gilmour with all the effects in it?
I'm sure they have all kind of pedals in the studio and everything. But with me pedals are very personal. Different people like different stuff. With me the sound of the amp and the guitar are more important. And boss pedals are not all bad. I had a lot more expensive pedals but I always love my boss dd2/3 for certain thing. I also love the CS2. Finally boss barely break. I always think why you change something that works right ?
No Big Muff! The Suhr Riot is such a great distortion he doesn't need Muffs & Boosters. It's all in the fingers, eh (and those guitars and amps don't hurt).
i read when Dave auditioned for the job as Rogers guitarist he had to stop the band and apologise cos the telecaster he was using didnt have enougth frets for the song.......
I dunno, it seems odd cos generally boutique pedals do sound better and are good, but from watching these rig rundown videos it seems lots of professionals have pedalboards full of boss pedals etc. Do you think that's purely a live thing or what?
pretty basic pedal board even to me ( an amateur). These professional players out there have all kind of crazy pedals ( for example. the Klon centaur goes as least $1000 on ebay) and they have all kind of rack system.
In my opinion there is no real need for most players to need so many pedals in a live situation.During live gigs many effects (such as compression ,chorus and delay/echo ) happen naturally when volume levels are higher and instruments are interacting with each other within a hall or similar .Effects also tend to dull soulful expressive playing;people tend to end up listening to the effect rather than to the guitarist.For the price of these I would rather invest in a custom built guitar .
Think you're on the money with what your saying but another point i would add is. A lot of these guys are over 40 easy, and the world of "boutique" pedals just didn't exist 15 years or more ago and it is a case of if it aint broke don't fix it! ;-)
They had Electro Harmonix and some others. The thing with BOSS pedals is they are built to last. They don't break down on the road. Many pros use BOSS on the road for this purpose. However, they are aware of boutique pedals and use them at home and in the studio. Of course they love their toys!
"[Roger Waters] likes to treat the album like a classical composition." It's great to hear summed up why I don't care for him (compared to Glimour. Waters sounds so stiff and as great a writer as he was, anyone who's seen PULSE would (hopefully) agree that the bassist on there plays stuff that blows the stuff waters came up with out of the water. I think Gilmour tends to have things following an outline as well, but when he plays Floyd it feels less ridged.
it's not in tuuune! TIM!!!!! hahaha. I can't wait til I have the money to have a tech side stage so I don't have to tune any of my guitars again....I HATE tuning lol
there's another interview vid with him where he admits he was never a tech guy into pedals and such. Just likes to focus on touch. He wasn't even a big Floyd fan. I will say though, listening to him pull off playing these legendary guitar riffs and solos in this show is really special, and very moving.
Are you high? First off, you could spend the money and get wireless lavalier mics so we can hear what the hell people are saying. I mean since you are lost holding the mic and a conversation at the same time. Second, when the guy is playing guitar, point the mic at the guitar. It's not really as difficult as you make it look right? Third, when you talk, speak into the mic. You should know all this already. Lastly, just get the guitar tech. Bless Dave, he knows nothing about the rig.
I was at a Roger Waters show a couple of days ago, and was very disapointed of the guitarsound. His main guitar has a country'ish sound to it. A little twang so to say. It annoys me that he doesn't use a Stratocaster type guitar for most of the stuff, and a P90 Les Paul for the "Another brick...." solo. I ended up leaving the show in the middle of the "Money" solo, when they still had six more songs to go. I just couldn't stand his shitty sound.

Yeah, have you ever seen Gilmour's rig?
It's gonna be like a 2 hours documentary directed by Steven Spielberg!
A series !!!
Indeed he has. I saw the show in Atlanta a good while back and was just amazed. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing the legendary Wall being performed before me. It was a life changing event for me.
Spot on!! I cried at the same point he said I would...very emotional film clip and music... loved every second of the show
Yes!!! Thank you for featuring Dave K!!!!!
That ''Hey You'' was beautiful
why was it so hard to get the camera on the pedal board in this?
I saw them yesterday and you can belive me when I say that this guy knows what he's fuckin doing! Insane performance

I want a David Gilmour rig rundown.
Seeing pro guys having colored tape at the end of their leads and the same colored tape above various inputs on their amps and such makes me feel a lot less dumb that I do as well... Take that one or two people who make comments about it at shows!
It's normal. It means you're smart after all!
I can almost hear the bass when he plays Hey You
Roger has chosen a killer line-up of players for the world's best show. 5*
The best is when he asks him how he sets his eq. "With the knobs on the front" hahah
The guy who did the FTLOG instructional video and then I found out he was with RW. And his solo stuff is awesome!
Respect!
im kicking myself for missing this show
Dave Kilminster! You are an amazing guitarist.
On a side note beautiful drum kit.
the add before this video was amazing
I am guessing it got really loud on stage so y'all went backstage and continued the rest ? But guys - I would recommend the interviewer carry a collar mic and pass a corded/cordless one to the person you are interviewing.
Excellent player.
Dave Kilminster was one of my tutors at uni! He's cool, he also looks a lot like Jim Root in the video!

he seems like a nice guy
dave is a criminally underrated guitarist check out some of his past its awesome, I loved him back in his guitar mag days.
great informative video however for a Site of your size i really thought you could of normalized the audio it almost deafened me at 2 points lol
awesome
Sir Waters is cool
Are my eyes deceiving me, or are those amps Brunetti Customwanks?
I'm sure they have all kind of pedals in the studio and everything. But with me pedals are very personal. Different people like different stuff. With me the sound of the amp and the guitar are more important. And boss pedals are not all bad. I had a lot more expensive pedals but I always love my boss dd2/3 for certain thing.

Great
Quite handy on the ole guitar that Mr Kilminster!
He has it written on the back of one of the guitars, like Snowy.
i hate myself for missing this show. and for missing black sabbath show too.God i wanna kick myself hahaha
Love the fact he is playing the guitars !
CARISSIMO ❤️
un grande abbraccio da Roma
🎸 🎸 Roger Waters 🎸🎸
4:04 Was expecting a massive swhish and then ''We don't need no education!''
The Brunetti secret is out...;)
Strange bit at the end there. Dave is a interesting character, like all the guys Roger picks.
Mercury amps go to 11. That's one more isn't it.
Nigel tufnel-hold my beer
I like Kilminster’s bracelet, where do I get one of those??
Well, Then I am guessing you have not handled live recording yet. The audio can be neutralized using any audio editing software these days.
“This one’s still got the old tag on it. NEVER been touched by human hands. Dont touch it! Dont point...were done with this one”
Who else is wanting to get a glimpse of roger in the clip?
No Big Muff! The Suhr Riot is such a great distortion he doesn't need Muffs & Boosters.
It's all in the fingers, eh (and those guitars and amps don't hurt).
what was that whisper at the end haha 12:40
i got one of those amps! the vox one that works on batteries, sadly
i read when Dave auditioned for the job as Rogers guitarist he had to stop the band and apologise cos the telecaster he was using didnt have enougth frets for the song.......
I dunno, it seems odd cos generally boutique pedals do sound better and are good, but from watching these rig rundown videos it seems lots of professionals have pedalboards full of boss pedals etc. Do you think that's purely a live thing or what?
Boss pedals are regarded for not having issues, i.e. built like tanks! Fancier pedals can get loose connections being bounced around on the road.
The Hey you guitar is actually a Washburn Roger Waters signature.
he's on stage with Roger Waters, that means he knows enough stuff to share the same spotlight with a legend. period :-)
What is the front stage?
does dave start to cry at 7:38?
the tremolo is gotoh, on the suhr , you can get the in JP ,,,,,, iw got 2 on my axes , there are the bedst
Jimmy Page's bracelet?
pretty basic pedal board even to me ( an amateur). These professional players out there have all kind of crazy pedals ( for example. the Klon centaur goes as least $1000 on ebay) and they have all kind of rack system.
when they play down in front of the wall starting after Comfortably Numb
5:04 what guitar he use?
In my opinion there is no real need for most players to need so many pedals in a live situation.During live gigs many effects (such as compression ,chorus and delay/echo ) happen naturally when volume levels are higher and instruments are interacting with each other within a hall or similar .Effects also tend to dull soulful expressive playing;people tend to end up listening to the effect rather than to the guitarist.For the price of these I would rather invest in a custom built guitar .
the camera man had a few pints before this interview?? just sayin...
Maybe a custom custom custom... that make sense.
sounds like someone sneezed and took a breath after
i'd give anything to be able to play guitar like that
GriefTourist Give time
Funny how he doesn't remember the names of the songs

6:50 I thougth he was going to play Hysteria by Def Leppard!
I like this guy lol
well he's got a technician for that
He says I have no idea too many times, he should educate himself a little
haha.. I am very curious... Does he know how to tune a guitar ?! But he is very good guitarist...
David Kilminster is a boss, him and Guthrie Govan are EASILY the best in the U.K
"[Roger Waters] likes to treat the album like a classical composition." It's great to hear summed up why I don't care for him (compared to Glimour.

I think Gilmour tends to have things following an outline as well, but when he plays Floyd it feels less ridged.
That's just a way of saying he sticks to the record. Now is that a problem?
A BASIC set-up ? !!!
it's not in tuuune! TIM!!!!! hahaha. I can't wait til I have the money to have a tech side stage so I don't have to tune any of my guitars again....I HATE tuning lol
Check out the rig logs on my channel!
but he knows how to play!
Dave is a russian agent (set subtitles at 8:28)
You'll have two very different sound qualities then.
it looks like a p90 doesnt it? haha
I think that's ok... Some Guitar players are not gearheads
dont need to know your name to lay down some funk
No but he knows how to play guitar for Roger Waters....
That's the point... I'm not saying he sucks at all... Just saying he hasn't much information about his own rig...
there's another interview vid with him where he admits he was never a tech guy into pedals and such. Just likes to focus on touch. He wasn't even a big Floyd fan. I will say though, listening to him pull off playing these legendary guitar riffs and solos in this show is really special, and very moving.
✋ Roger Waters ✋

Come on guys, I think we are all waiting for Mr. Gilmour.
lemmy's son...so english
To see that this guy is covering David Gilmour with anything other than a strat, makes me feel sad
+mattmartin1299 I don't think theres many people who could pull it off better than he did.. That guitar is similar to strat anyway
+mattmartin1299 yeah but some solos on The Wall like Another Brick In the Wall pt2 is tracked with Les Paul with P90s though.
Yeah, those humbuckers sound way too fat for most of the stuff in this show.
Agreed, saw the tour in 2013, Kilminster is a incredible guitarist but i dont feel the gilmourish tone with his sound, a strat would help a lot.
Strat and Tele don't sound that different actually
Wrong.
Wow a guitarist that only care about playing
Saw him play for Steven Wilson. Sucked.
Sucked? You're probably deaf.
@alanboro you think you could do better?
Sorry but don’t take cover bands seriously
What cover band?
....david Gilmour did it better..
Those guitars are look yuk
I was at a Roger Waters show a couple of days ago, and was very disapointed of the guitarsound. His main guitar has a country'ish sound to it. A little twang so to say. It annoys me that he doesn't use a Stratocaster type guitar for most of the stuff, and a P90 Les Paul for the "Another brick...." solo.
I ended up leaving the show in the middle of the "Money" solo, when they still had six more songs to go. I just couldn't stand his shitty sound.
Garsh!
This guy is definitely the least interesting guitar player Rog has on this tour....
Great player though.
