Reading the comments from the trolls, who love to bash any modern creative thing is both the most entertaining and depressing thing about these videos. This band has put out back to back fantastic albums, and they’re really good live as well, and the songs are crafty as hell, but watching the old folks scream that rock ‘n’ roll is dead because it doesn’t sound like the thing they like just kills me. And I’m old.
This is great. Reverb before drive, trem square wave maxxed out, killswitches. Love it. Well done rig rundown. I actually bought the same Moose electronics reverb from Dublin because of these guys. And just like Carlos says…it crashes like crazy. Excellent.
Reverb and delay before drive was often used in shoegaze music, it's pretty cool because you essentially distort the delay and reverb because you're feeding it into distortion. More people should try it. I like tremolo before drives too!
Loved everything I’ve heard from Fontaines DC but haven’t had time to get in to them… I now have a Christmas plan for accompanying work!! Such a great video and interview.
I love that Carlos is pals with Richard Hawley. Because of course he is. And I was very pleased to see Curley has a Deco. Best pedal I've ever owned. A touch of tape saturation is an incredible tone sweetener.
I’m just getting in to them now and it’s great to read these comments from a year ago with the current context of their new album which is a masterpiece.
Check out 'i love you' from this year's Glastonbury. Although it speeds up from the rhe studio version it's still pretty powerful. Good band and BJM and black angels some pretty good influences
ah ah I remember the coronado in the Some Neck shop in Dublin, I asked the price and told the guy, "give me a day or two to think about it" and bang this guy bought it !!! LOL it is in very good hands !!
Absolutely loved this one, I’m excited for what you guys have next, I gotta recommend another Greta Van Fleet rig rundown! In terms of what they’ve changed just from their last tour is definitely something worth checking out. Keep it up y’all!
Some of the sad negative comments, so what, it isn’t your sound move on and go back to SRV or John Mayer or whoever you w**k over in your parents basement. Some guitars don’t have to be ‘technically’ amazing to be good, some guitarist play for the song. A lot of the parts Carlos plays in this are from their songs and sound odd out of context and to those uneducated I’m their music understandably nothing special. Take a moment to listen to their music and it all comes together and works, I defy anyone not to listen to Jackie Down The Line and like it, indie alt rock might not be everyone’s thing but neither is seeing fast you can pick.
Exactly. You don’t have to be technically proficient to be musically interesting. I wouldn’t open the curtains if John Mayer was playing outside my window.
I love the natural road ware on that American Vintage 61. I want to get one in Fiesta Red if I can find one around 7.5 lbs and without QC issues that seem to plaque these guitars.
Seriously. This was like finding 2 kids who started playing guitar a few months ago and just doing a show on them. But if they keep coming up with stuff people like then more power to them.
Carlos needs a diamond tremolo. Tap tempo, kill switch and more.. the plus most important thing a volume knob! i hate shite tremolos that drop volume when you engage.
I believe he is putting the fuzz “in parallel” with his main board, so you have the dry alongside the fuzz. In a conventional board, the fuzz comes at the start of a “series” of pedals, losing the definition of the dry signal. Many devices are available to do this. I have a GigRig Wetter Box to experiment with the parallel method.
@@killar1one Yeah. But I've worked in fancy restaurants where the uniform was a white pressed shirt. Always an idiotic choice for a restaurant. Even in a dimmed restaurant. All black is the only way. A pure white shirt lasts at best a month. And that's dry cleaned. I was mainly poking fun at the white he was wearing. But I have dealt with the hell of maintaining white shirts. Can't even imagine trying to keep stuff white on tour. It was mainly a joke but his outfit will not be cleaned by bleach, etc for very long. Unless he has several backups. I ran a live music venue for 10 years and the top 2 rider requirements were new socks and underwear as it's so hard to get laundry done on the road. Most musicians wash their clothes in the sink at hotel, etc and wear the same clothes over and over.
Tommy Schlug wants his shoes back #1 & if this lovely lad played the producers Fender Mustang on most of an album & then bought a..... Fender Mustang how was he confused by it's size when he got it. He played a Mustang, liked it, bought a Mustang, now it's really small??? Confused.

Very interesting to hear Carlos approaching guitar sounds as if his guitar is part of the drum kit
I love how excited Carlos seems about the songwriting process and his use of effects.
Thanks for doing this! As a gear nerd and massive Fontaines D.C. fan, this means a lot to me. Their guitar tones are truly unique and interesting
Rock on!
Carlos is dressed like he's auditioning for 3 different nu-metal bands after the interview.
I wouldn't goto walmart looking like that
Chris looks like Ricky from trailer park boys
He looks cool af
He sounds like shit too
🤣🤣🤣🤣

this.
The same dudes that think Zeppelin is the pinnacle of rock and roll, but won’t acknowledge how much Zep ripped everyone else.
100%. They are the same people who claim to champion guitar music but at the same time are terrified of anyone doing anything new.
@@sweezlesqueeman I feel the same. You get it. Cheers
Guys, are you familiar with the band The Fall?
Fontaines is one of the best new bands around! Very interesting discussion with the guys, love seeing the gear!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chris is a national treasure, I've gotten into quite a bit of non-traditional music with the rig rundowns he pursues
Man, Curley has epic taste in guitars and gear. Could listen to that guy talk about gear all day.
i've come back to this five times in the past month, these guys are at the most interesting edge of guitar tone right now imo
Facts this is the video that made me finally organize my pedalboard
really enjoy Carlos perspective
This is great. Reverb before drive, trem square wave maxxed out, killswitches. Love it. Well done rig rundown. I actually bought the same Moose electronics reverb from Dublin because of these guys. And just like Carlos says…it crashes like crazy. Excellent.

Thank you!!
@@MooseElectronics The man behind the pedal. Thanks Moose. Great pedal.
These guys are super humble, great interview.
Carlos just got done time traveling from the late 90s
Right he looks nu metal
i have some kind of happiness watching their rig rundowns
Great Rundown - I really dig hearing Carlos discuss his approach.
🖤 Fontaines!
Love Fontaines D.C. I am stoked to watch this rig rundown. Inspiring.
Loved everything I’ve heard from Fontaines DC but haven’t had time to get in to them… I now have a Christmas plan for accompanying work!! Such a great video and interview.
VERY cool! One of my fav newer bands.
Great video, Gillaband just started an American tour would be amazing to see their gear rundowns!
Fucking loved this video, carlos has the most interesting guitar arrangements live imo, so it's so awesome to see his rig
I love that Carlos is pals with Richard Hawley. Because of course he is. And I was very pleased to see Curley has a Deco. Best pedal I've ever owned. A touch of tape saturation is an incredible tone sweetener.
Fontaines D.C. are THE next and biggest band to come out of Ireland. I wish those lads success on the next album!
They've been around years. Anyway, they seem like nice guys, I like the music but don't like the vocals much and can't seem to get past that.
@@Noisehead101 Well to each their own. I personally don't like the Arctic Monkeys because of the vocals. Everyone has their preferences
@bayekkenway7514 indeed. I still have plenty of respect for them though.
They are certainly one of the bands from Ireland
I’m just getting in to them now and it’s great to read these comments from a year ago with the current context of their new album which is a masterpiece.
Y'ALL MADE MY DAY. BEST FUCKIN BAND TO COME OUT IN AGES.
Camera guy thanks for actually showing the pedal board..
yeaahhhhhhh, ve been wanting this video for so long
Fantastic, so great to see. Love this show and Fontaines
Been hoping for this video for ages, thanks a lot premier guitar, its like Christmas
Ho ho ho!
The lads come across really well. Super band
Carlos sent me a photo of his pedal board on Instagram after i messaged him during the Dogrel era
I love the music these guys make and really appreciate the rig rundown. Keep on keeping on.
my favorite band for a long time so thanks for this post. i find the framus extraordinary, should be an old one made in germany
Carlos O'Connell sounding exactly like you would think someone named that would sound lol
I mean he’s Spanish sooo
Genuinely first time hearing a Spanish/Irish accent
Been waiting for this for too long 😮
Amazing band, amazing video!
Great piece I enjoyed that and love the sounds and how they both think outside the box
Carlos has the most interesting Spanish Irish hybrid accent
Carlos plays what the tune needs, unreal live
I could listen to people who are passionate about what they do for hours. So interesting.
Check out 'i love you' from this year's Glastonbury. Although it speeds up from the rhe studio version it's still pretty powerful. Good band and BJM and black angels some pretty good influences
Hopefully the Fontaines buddies Gilla Band will get a Premiere Guitar Rig Rundown in the not too distant future🤘
.
Fontaines DC are incredible. thanks for this.
Fucken love these guys.
ah ah I remember the coronado in the Some Neck shop in Dublin, I asked the price and told the guy, "give me a day or two to think about it" and bang this guy bought it !!! LOL it is in very good hands !!
Did exactly the same to my Johnny Marr jag for the same reason! Also mine is about as battered as his too
Absolutely loved this one, I’m excited for what you guys have next, I gotta recommend another Greta Van Fleet rig rundown! In terms of what they’ve changed just from their last tour is definitely something worth checking out. Keep it up y’all!
Could you please do one of these with the band DIIV? I love that you cover such a diverse range of artists!
Thank you for this! Love Fontaines!

*not like it!

Agree 100%. Can’t wait to see them here in Boston in a week!
Amazing!!!!
modern day living legends
This is gonna be a great RIG (rundown)
I love the natural road ware on that American Vintage 61. I want to get one in Fiesta Red if I can find one around 7.5 lbs and without QC issues that seem to plaque these guitars.
Some commenters missed the memo that you don’t have to be a virtuoso to play the right parts that compliment the music.
Yeah. They suck tho
Seriously. This was like finding 2 kids who started playing guitar a few months ago and just doing a show on them. But if they keep coming up with stuff people like then more power to them.
I can see that but if you watch some more live videos you’ll also see they are killers.
Carlos needs a diamond tremolo. Tap tempo, kill switch and more.. the plus most important thing a volume knob! i hate shite tremolos that drop volume when you engage.
Mine has a volume knob.. 😊
Someone’s gonna look back in 5-10-20 years and be like “WTF was I wearing”
I mean it’s just late 90s and y2k coming back. Musicians looked like that too then. Trends are always gonna cycle like that.
0:23 Is that Head from KoRn?
Gracias!
No Bass rig rundown? His pedalboard is literally RIGHT THERE in the opening playing segment. C'mon.
Probably because Chilli Jesson was standing in for Deego, who wasn’t able to join them on tour this time.
@@racheltildeannethat was really unlucky. Carlos mentioned in another interview that Deego’s pedalboard is really interesting. Maybe the next time?
"Like, you know"
Shout out for spaceman 3, who new?
How did Curlys dry loop work ? Only got one amp but effectively got a wet/dry sound with the clean coming through? Someone pls explain
I believe he is putting the fuzz “in parallel” with his main board, so you have the dry alongside the fuzz. In a conventional board, the fuzz comes at the start of a “series” of pedals, losing the definition of the dry signal. Many devices are available to do this. I have a GigRig Wetter Box to experiment with the parallel method.
anyone know the riff at 14:21? the chord progression is so sick
That’s his verse part from Big Shot
Thorpy trem sounded great
I know moose! He builds pedals for my friend!
Love how creative carlos is
45:42 what song is he playing here?
Nabokov
Oliver is incredible
i didn’t know jonathan byers was in a band
He's not! It's a bad comedy routine!
6:42 this one pings to 11
Please tell me you did Arctic Monkeys Rig Rundown while you were there!!!
😢 fender wont return my demos
Hope this means we get an Arctic Monkeys rig rundown
I wish I had the money for any of this I’m stuck with a 45$ Strat copy
Weird just lined up Elliot Smith to play Figure 8 ✨
Mustang? or Duo Sonic? 🤔
And the bass Player ??
Now this is the non boring band! Use analog pedals, amps and crazy obscure guitars
Ping is from the top loading bridge?….
How do you wear those pants without them getting filthy and frayed?
some people don’t care about that kind of thing, clothes can always be washed lmao
@@killar1one Yeah. But I've worked in fancy restaurants where the uniform was a white pressed shirt. Always an idiotic choice for a restaurant. Even in a dimmed restaurant. All black is the only way.

Please someone tell me which song is based on intro at 0:25
Pretty sure it’s big shot
Carlos is looking like Chalamet in that one snl skit
Pure Irish, they're not too bad when you get to know them like, after a pint or two
did you get to do one with the monkeys?
They unfortunately passed.
GREAT BAND
Tommy Schlug wants his shoes back #1 & if this lovely lad played the producers Fender Mustang on most of an album & then bought a..... Fender Mustang how was he confused by it's size when he got it. He played a Mustang, liked it, bought a Mustang, now it's really small??? Confused.
The Mustang he played in the studio was 24” scale, this one is 21.5” (limited numbers left Fullerton in the 60s with that scale length).
@@premierguitar excellent, an actual interesting answer. Appreciate ye.
I want to steal the Rory Gallagher Strat and the jaguar... Can I? lol
JNCO?
Opening g ripp sounds like new metal
Very cool. But how could the Johnny Marr Jaguar not have enough “ping”? It has 2 high-pass filters! 😂
Love these guys’ music.
This is the Fontaines man, Fontaines DC. ( respect n'all to the Godfather )
Carlos just shocked me 😮
Bass player ??
arent mustangs supposed to have 22 frets?
I think this is a 22.5" scale length Mustang.
where is the bass ....
What about Bass!!?
oh sickkkksksks
Free Palestine ♥️ Thanks bro for saying that 😭
That's a very smart way Carlos labelled his Flanger pedal for sittings.
Y'all need to do a Rig Rundown with Dany and Ale from The Warning.
i paid twice as much for my 66 mustang
