In November at Nashville’s Exit/In, PG’s Chris Kies got to hang with Mutoid Man’s riffmaster general to see how he tours with one Flying V, an old rambunctious head, and a solid pedal setup.
Stephen Brodsky likes to keep it classic and simple. He tours with one guitar: a 1985 Aria Pro II Michael Schenker XX-MS Signature V. His bandmate, bassist Nick Cageao, had already went the Aria route by landing an Explorer-ish Pro II ZZB Custom 4-string so he thought it’d be cool if both Mutoid men would rock Arias. He sent the guitarist a Reverb listing and Brodsky got the axe. Everything about it is stock. Brodksy typically tunes down to Bb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb and uses D’Addario NYXL Top Heavy .010-.052 strings.

It’s kinda weird hearing Stephen speak in a normal volume and not scream into a mic every time he says something lol
It is but it's oddly soothing
Two Minutes To Late Night Baby!!!!!
@@Wis3Ending I’M THE LOUDEST
Stephen Brodsky is one of the most underrated musicians of the past 18 years. Dude is a genius.
Ha! Yea, right ....... you're easily impressed
Definitely. He's been innovator in the hardcore world for years. All the pop bands of the Thrice genre look up to him
Absolutely. Amazing body of work.
🍆💦🤤
I’m so inspired by him dude specially cause he’s not rocking expensive shit (relatively expensive lol) he just bought shit that looked cool that he could afford and learned to make it sound good.
Underrated guitar player. People need to listen more Cave In and Mutoid Man!
Definitely and those dunable are sick to bad they are like over 2grand ahh
Absolutely! Loved going through the Cave In transitions over the years.
"nice hairy bush from a penthouse issue in the '70s" - best pedal description ever
I've always dug Stephen's guitar style. A nice mix of punk, hardcore, extreme metal, progressive rock and classic rock. What's not to like?
Coolest Rig Rundown yet. Stephen is such a creative guitar player, cool to finally see a more in depth interview with him.
cave in is one of my favorite bands of all time and brodsky is one of my favorite players. dude is wild to watch on stage.
Just a nerdy gearhead observation...but Chris is the best interviewer that PG has IMO. I especially love seeing Rig Rundowns that he hosts. This was incredible! It also turned me on to a band I haven't heard of! Thanks Chris and Mutoid Man!
Have to agree! Perry is great but i do feel a little cringey watching him sometimes. Anyway i love the RR videos, keep it up!
Chris is the best thing since... Rebecca Dirks?
Yeah I feel he is the most skilled "interviewer" but John is my fav
Check out his other band Cave In. What a wild discography and a strange trip!
I'm surprised no one yelled "Play Juggernaut!" from somewhere off-screen. Brodsky is still my favorite guitar player. I'd love to have seen a rig rundown of his from 2000-2002 or so, when Cave In was at the height of their space-experimental phase. They'd probably have to include their crazy-ass toy store laser guns in that video.
I also seem to remember a big, green Line 6 unit for a time, at least on Brodsky's pedal board. As far as Caleb's stuff... the only thing that stood out to me was the Boss Bass Synth pedal that he used to use on "Big Riff" and "Decay of the Delay". Although I think he stopped busting it out live at some point.
I rembember Brodsky's black Guild... I think he had some sort of Gretsch for a little while before Antenna, I remember seeing that live around then. Caleb used to play a Grabber before switching to a P-Bass (I always wondered why... the Grabber is so awesome), and Adam played the brown "The SG" pretty much every time I saw them play, but I want to say I remember him playing some sort of triple-pickup LP.
Cave In was my favorite band ever in high school
HARwinsOUTagain they still make things hard in my pants.
Yeah me to sissy
Did "until your heart stops" change your life!!?
;)
Anyone else here from Two Minutes to Late Night?
I keep wanting Steve to go into his Two Minutes shouting voice
Yeah. I just found out Mutoid was the best band I had never heard of.
yes
Me!
Pretty much...
You're a great interviewer man :) a genuine fan of his music and asks all the questions we want to hear
To be truthful, I knew nothing about this guy or his band when I clicked on this. Now, I'm gonna check out everything he does. Really creative dude!
Shannon Sharp two minutes to midnight is the best
Most underrated album of the 00s.
@Sam first CD I ever bought. Still pop Jupiter on once in a while
It's awesome he is doing demos... I stopped watching a lot of these rundowns because they talked about cool gear and how good it sounded without ever showing it. I hope demos become more common so I can see some more of these!
We ask every time, but sometimes venues have volume/sound/union restrictions and other times artists just don't feel like it. Trust us, we try! Thanks for watching.
Premier Guitar awesome. I'll keep checking them out!
Brodsky is such a dork in the best way. His random knowledge of gear and effects always makes me smile because i’m the exact same way.
Finally somebody who's signature sound is what he buys, not what is given to him. Too many guitarists are playing equipment that is supplied by sponsors. Great rundown.
Yeah I totally agree. alot of spoiled players out there but as long as there greatful. but I agree you fuckhead bitch
Great rundown. Chris asks such insightful questions, and Steve seems like such a nice, accommodating guy. Always loved Brodsky's sound in Cave In, Mutoid, and anything else he's done.
Cave In- Jupiter is a legendary album. Mutoid Man rules...but Cave In was so ahead of their time it isn't even funny. Huge influence on my playing.
Brodsky is Super talented and humble guy. Love how he is in this.
Love the Rundowns where you get a person that loves to talk about gear! Awesome!
One of the best RR ever! The guy is a real nerd, I really love the tone and sounds from his amp and pedals.
One of the best rundowns... Brodsky is such an amazing guy. And great player. Much love
Late to the party on this one, but that was a lot of fun. Brodsky is super creative, and I love that he's wearing a Lazer/Wulf shirt as they are great and super creative dudes as well.
One of the most entertaining Rig Rundowns I have seen. Not the usually comatose interviewee. Kept me interested throughout.
I just discovered Mutoid Man and his guitar playing. What the F have I been missing?! This dude is incredible.
Brodsky is pure Genius.. An inspiration for all modern rock musicians
Really good rig rundown***** Steven was very generous with info and demo's. thank you Chris & Steven ... Very Good!
That Model T sounded great!
They tend to do that
The Sunn + Os 2 sounds great. I know nothing about his band but I like this guy, and he mentioned Failure.
Greatest rig rundown ever! Brodsky is a beast!
Not my sound, but heck! Such a honest humble insight through a journey! Deep respect.
This dude is cool as hell. Mutoid Man is amazing. I love cheap gear and pedals. All of my Boss pedals are reliable, don't break and never steal signal. Right on man.
I've been watching PG for a long time and since you had Steven on I hit subscribe. Cave In- Seafrost is one of my top 3 favorite songs ever written. Thank you
This is a great interview. Dude just loves to play.
I have a new favourite band. Thanks!
Love this. I've never heard of this band before but he presents himself so well in going to buy an album. So much better to see someone who's into pedals, amps and guitars rather than a guy hocking his signature model plugged into axe fx.
Great to see him keeping busy after Blue's Clues
Yes yes yes. Love rig run downs and i love mutiod man.
Thank you stephen brodsky.. this maybe the best episode so far.
Just saw these guys Saturday night and WOW! Most definitely got my face melted. Killer show! Killer players! Killer tones! Killer songs! What more could you ask for?
Never heard of this guy but he's cool as hell ....
Listen to Mutoid Man and Cave In!
oh shit, i had a song called "narcoleptic dog" in my first band when i was a little little kid. that's a crazy coincidence.
11🦋11
I just love his sound. Brutal and raw but so musical.
One of the most inspiring rig rundowns ever. I love everything Steve put his hands on.
Chris Kies forgets his own name, its that good an interview. Brilliant! Two great guys and a Sunn amp!!
Awesome this guy is, a lot of raw talent and energy. Great he recognizes Failure for some inspiration.
Failure, Cave In, MM, and many others so criminally underrated :-(
Awesome to see this Rig Rundown! Such an underrated band! Great Interview!
It's great seeing these old Aria Pro II guitars getting the love they deserve. Too many gear and rig rundowns are tedious sales pitches for new products, when guitars like these are no longer available outside of the second-hand market yet a good example can be something else. Matsumoku-era Aria Pro II basses and guitars are very much classics!
One of my favorite pickers since Beyond Hypothermia dropped in ‘97. First time seeing his setup since it was just a couple pedals on the floor. This rules. Great interview! Thanks for this.
I have played Aria Pro ii SB-650 AND SB-700 Basses for decades.
Great instruments made very HIGH quality
Shout out to Daddy's Junk Music! I use to work at the West Springfield MA store before the company went under.
I miss that store. Used to hang out at the Salem, NH store all the time. Made some good friends there who worked there.
@@johndashuta7826 it was awesome!!! It was great to because you could get gear in from store to store without worrying about buying it or paying for shipping
Brodsky is awesome. I love that he cannot help but raise his pick to the goblet of rock even with an audience of one!
Awesome rig rundown!
Nice! Cave In is one of my alltime favs so I’m def a fan of this band
"Standard tuning, half a step down, and then like a drop b. So like drop a#" Okay, got it! Standard
Nick Haakman
it sounds complicated but it’s literally jus standard tuning with the low strung dropped to b flat/a sharp.
Matthew Flowers I got what he got but just thought it was funny how he explained it
@@matthewflowers1759 Not quite, the whole tuning is a half-step down. Then you drop the Eb down to a Bb.
its just drop a sharp, e flat with the low a#
Damn you Stephen Brodsky!!!! I picked up a ps-5 just to play around with because of this video. Now I need to find at least one more to add to my setup.
This is the second band I’ve found from rig rundowns that became 2 of my favorite bands. Mutoid Man and Pelican
Boston legend.
Killer rig rundown!
The tones were amazing. Also a sick interview.
One of those super fun and entertaining chapters of these series ! And Ive always loved Cave in !!
The best rig rundown ever.
Man, that OS2 into the Model T sounds unbelievable - only rig rundown I’ve watched more than once, and I’ve probably watched it 15 times because I love the sound so much lol
never heard of these fellas before, but defnately piqued my interest!
Wish you would have covered Nick Cageao's rig as well, but still fantastic!
Nick wasn't on tour with the band because he suffered an injury.
Its like a nice hairy bush from a pent house issue lol😂😂😂
I know his band covered Magnified, but hearing him mention Failure makes me really happy
This guy seems like a really cool dude
SNL or someone should do a skit like this with the artist coming up with hilarious song names during the interview lol.
The rig rundown featuring Satchel from Steel Panther is pretty amusing. Funnier than any SNL these days anyway
Yo buzzo hasn’t played a model t in forever. He’s a solid state dude.
Stoven Bredsky is the man!! A true talent
That Digitech Synth Wah sound makes me smile EVERY GODAMN TIME
Love everything this dude does
"This is Khis Cries with another Rig Rundown!" Tongue tied, sound like me! Lol great job tho man for real.
Awesome! Jim Mauradian from Mauradian Guitars who passed away worked on one of my guitars. He was awesome and an absolutely amazing luthier. Jim actually made Nuno's original guitar. Told me it was a Strat body he modified. He also made a few basses for Chris Squire of Yes.
Brodsky is an amazing human being!!!
Cave In! Legend
One the most interesting rig rundowns, thanks!
Interviewer wearing the dinosaur Jr shirt👍 also I think I heard J Mascis tell a story about buying his first guitar from the same place Stephen was talking about getting the les Paul.
Shady Bob’s or something? Slimy Bob’s?
That guitar is sick!
love the Aria XX V, have a deep hankering for a ZZ Explorer at the moment.
"You record with Kurt Ballou from converge a lot" he shoulda been like "motherfucker i was in Converge! Im on Jane Doe!"
What a totally rad seeming dude!!
That is a Lazer Wulf t shirt! Somehow I know who they are but didn’t know Mutoid Man.
Great video.
He is super nice
Imagine finding a Model T for 600 bucks these days.
Alex Hunter exactly...imagine....in your imagination. Hell I was lucky to find a Beta for 400
Daddy's Junky shoutout, hell yeah
I'll never understand the dislike for the T Reissues. They get a much more vicious sound right out of the gate. No need for clean headroom if you're just gonna drown it in sludge. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
BRODSKY MEATBALLS RE-ASSEMBLE!!!!11!!1!!1!!!!
Never heard of this band, and I also wasn't aware that Anthony Kiedis played lead guitar.
For the longest time I wondered how he got that gross "squishy" octave tone.
32:00 you can hear the score from Killer Klowns in outer space.
Well alright!
now that sasha baron cohen is out of the queen movie he would make a perfect fit for a bio pic on mr Brodsky
Nick's bass rig? Why oh why? I am dying to find out what he's using. Dude's the best bass player in heavy music in years.And a brutal but complex tone.
brodsky can sing and scream on top of le schredding
Do a rig rundown on Great Grandpa next time they're on tour.
this was a cool video. i heard about mutoid man when i discovered 2M2LN and i gotta say mutoid man has a nice sound. now i have to check out cave-in.
Each cave in album is very different, give them all a chance! There's one i don't like but a lot of people love it...have fun.
“blow people away with your savage loop”
I wonder how much of this rig for Mutoid Man is the same for Cave in....... 🤔🤔🤔
