"Why don't you find your own tone?" - Your answer was so good. Tone chasing is FUN. As a viewer, it's fun to watch. In my opinion, all of your effort was totally worth it. Thanks for the great video. I immediately subscribed!
I honestly thought he was going to say something else beginning with F 😀
Part of finding my own tone is knowing how other players achieve their tone. It teaches you how to recognize and communicate the sounds you want.
I've always liked learning a lot of famous riffs and solos due to the same reason. By doing it you learn what other guys do, and so you go out of your natural playing comfort zone. It takes a bit of work to nail anything that's new to you. So if you play a riff and it sounds exactly like the album, then you've learned something about feel, which is really the most important thing with guitar. Of course imitation is not the end goal in itself.
That's a pretty ignorant reply imo. "find your own, tone"
Well if I'm attempting to play someone else's song, in a cover band for example, I'm gonna need to sounds as close as I can to the original. "stealing" tones smfh. That's plain ignorant.
So, what are cover artists supposed to do then? Make up their own sound so a song sounds NOTHING like the original? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@J.C... You realize that I wasn't saying find your own tone, right? I was quoting the video. If the quotation marks weren't enough of a clue, surely the context of the the rest of the comment explains it pretty clearly. I was agreeing with Living Room Gear Demos that people who say "why don't you find your own tone" are missing the point of the video.
DAMN that was cool, man. What a huge amount of fun!
💪🏻
What you're doing is not just copying, this stuff is very important from an engineering standpoint aswell and I've learned a lot of engineering gems through your videos. Don't ever stop!
Well said!
Absolutely insane investigation into tone, wonderful video, thank you!
That's about the closest I've ever heard a tone recreated, especially for one that used such odd and unusual equipment! You're like 95% there, you could probably get to 99% with some surgical EQ-ing but that's not the most fun activity, and it sounds killer as it is!
Agree, great job and it just sounded like a matter of super fine tuning EQ to get the last bit.
Also the original guitars sound a bit more compressed than his. Imo that would push it to the 99% as well as some fine extra EQing
"About stealing tones" - It's a shame you have to even explain this. I've spent years figuring out what amps, pedals and guitars some of my favourite artists have used over the years because it HELPS me develop my own sound, and as you said, to a musician it's simply fascinating! Cool shit man! A lot of work clearly goes into this research!
There is no "stealing" tones. Tones aren't copyrighted or trademarked. They're free to use by anyone, any time. Tone theft is nonsense.
That's like a painter accusing someone of "color theft" because someone used the same red that they used in a painting 🤣 Come on with that.
If you're playing in a cover band, you're gonna need those tones and sounds anyway. So calling it theft is ridiculous. Sounds like the guy doesn't know what hes talking about, TBH. Like hes a noob trying to impress people. 🤷🤣
Wow. You absolutely crush it whenever you do the Queens stuff. It’s so awesome. Homme has some of the most unusual/unconventional guitar tones in rock but he’s just so great and original. Great job, for real. Cheers.
I congratulate you dude! Forget the naysayers. From someone who has listened so intently to this record over 20 something years, I think your recordings were so very good. We all know the million different variants involved, mic placing, mic distance, types of cables, condition of amps, condition of strings, if someone farted in the left of the room etc,etc,etc. Great job buddy. I really enjoy your passion to work out how all these amazing sounds on these records we cherish so deeply.
Amen Bro. Keep Going! I will definitely keep watching.
Thanks, Rob! I know I was able to get the farting right, at least.
I have that Eric Valentine video saved on my hard drive too.. Such a shame Josh wasn't down with having that info out there, even most people already figured out & knew the "secrets". Great video!
Brother I've heard about this fabled video nonstop for years 😂 mind sending it to me if I dm you my email?
Yeah, Josh never was a fan of Eric V due to the belief that Eric was working more for the company than the band. Word is that Eric was trying to make a sound that wasn’t really Queens and Josh wasn’t havin that. Josh was very upfront with Eric about his opinions of him. I kinda think Eric responded by doing what Josh hated most. Eric put a bunch information on the internet about the techniques. Ridiculous drama.
Eric Valentine is one of the most talented engineers in the industry and I think he created to this day the best sounding QOTSA record. Eric’s original mix in the taken down video actually sounded better to me than the released mix, too.
It’s a shame they had a falling out because I think the future QOTSA records would have sounded better with Eric engineering and mixing them.
Josh Homme is a great musician but he is such a pretentious douche about his gear. His value is in his songwriting, not his weird guitar tones.
I think that parametric EQ is key
Please share!
Wow! You really nailed the verse guitar tone! For the chorus I think the original sounds a bit more driven and dark than yours but yours sounds awesome as well. Great job and great tones!
Just searched my harddrive and found it there, loaded in 2016. Good thing I always download when I see gold on the internet :D
Very good job recreating it!
If you're up for sharing it via a DM, I'd greatly appreciate it ☺️
^^^Same here, if you could share it, I would be so appreciative!
Appreciate all the hard work put into this video. Love the aesthetic of the titles and visual effects
Absolutely nailed it IMO. I’m listening to this through my JBL S38s and I honestly couldn’t tell when you were switching between your tone and the recording for the verse. Without the on screen cues I’d have no idea which was which. Bravo!
You have literally my favorite RUclips channel. I love all the bands and pedals you feature videos about. This kind of content you make scratches such a particular itch I have for what I love about these bands and their tones. The classiness in your presentation goes above all others. As an aspiring music recorder, I will be sticking around for every upload:)
Great point at the end. Trying to recreate existing tones or even just learning what kind of gear and recording techniques artists use is an excellent way to expand your own sonic vocabulary.
Those Peavey Musician heads are some of the best solid state amps around 🤘🏽
So cheap too! hopefully this video doesn't jack the prices up lol
@@ColbyJohnson303 Lmao, it's all over now
shhhhhhh
I had to learn this song when I first heard it 6 yrs. ago. I so enjoyed you taking this song apart. Enjoyable ! Thank you Living Room ! Tucson, Arizona
Super! That was really close. Well done! 🙂
Super cool video. I love those tone deep dives. I think you got super close to the overall sound and vibe of the recording.
i'm always interesting to see another of your QOTSA videos, please dont stop
One of the most eye opening things I learnt years ago recording guitars is that close mic'd guitars don't sound as loud as far mic'd guitars for the same level readings after gain adjustment. This also works when you use the mic off-axis. Pretty sure it's due to the extra distance causing the harmonic frequencies to slightly phase shift over the extra time, and therefore not cause as much destructive interference. Of course there's a sweet spot, and if you go past it it sounds like someone playing in the room next door, but it's one of the most powerful guitar recording techniques I know. If you're recording an entire band, it usually fails, but if you're recording a solo instrumental it's worth the 2 minutes of experimentation to see if it sits in the mix better.
Great stuff as always, you've quickly become my go-to channel for anything QOTSA related! Can't imagine having all those those amps, they're so much cooler than your typical Fenders and Marshalls imo.
Eirik, absolutely fantastic video. Always my go-to channel for anything and everything Josh Homme. You definitely nailed the tone and hope to see more content from you soon. Cheers!!
man this, this is great, your going hard on this, love it
So sick! You did an incredible job, and I loved the sentiment at the end; these kinda exercises increase our 'vocabulary' and familiarity with tools, and ultimate serve to bolster our skills ✌
Thanks, and agree! 💪🏻
Amazing investigation in this tones bro! I like soo much this type of videos, qotsa's tones its beautiful!
I love that exist a chanel that is obsesed with queens of the stone age so I can love this band even more
Great video. This channel is one of my favorites. Bravo mec
Instantly subscribed dude!!
You nailed it!!!
Excellent video playing and research!!
Well done 👍 Sir
This was great, thanks for all the hard work. Looking at the photos from the original, it looked like such a weird collection of things to get that tone
You nailed that tone man, it's crazy !
That was astonishingly Good!!! I 100% agree with you on your reasons behind guitar tone learnings. To confuse learning with copying is the worst possible mistake one can make. There's a lot of humility and hard work behind the idea of getting things exactly the same as someone else did. Not only, this way, You can truly appreciate someone else's work but I believe it's the only way to find your own voice . Because the little things you do differently from it...now you know that is really you and your taste.
Plus, I'm so behind you when you talk about how incredibly well played this guitar track is. Josh hommes 'attack' in this track is so powerful and precise that that's where a lot of his tone comes from! Bravo, amazing video
im a qotsa maniac too and i love those videos about josh and tones, my new pedalboard is totally inspired in your videos about your videos
Nice! Thanks man 🤟🏻
I love your videos man, either stuff about Josh or just about fuzz pedals. Keep up the awesome work man
Awesome video dude, the guitars sound so cool. Keep it up!
Great vid, and great fun to watch this!
Dude, you nailed this. Great work!
Impressive work. This was fun to watch.
Dude... The mix is perfect. WOW Thanks and good work
Great video Eirik! Knocked this one outta the park!
Nailed. Period. Much respect to your passion and your ears, Mr.
This is a lot of work. Congrats man, this deserves a million likes.
This is absolutely fantastic and really impressive.. THIS is how you become really good at your craft, but understanding how to get certain tones, how they’re created and recoded.
Phenomenal job man! I always enjoy watching your videos especially the QotSA ones
That is spot on. Well done, must have been fun!
Wow amazing work here that sounded amazing
Great work, great playing!
Sounds killer!! Congrats!
Massive work mate, I'm really digging your nerdy qotsa content🤯 those magic sweeps...
A lot of the Ampegs back then came stock with Celestion G12 M70 speakers, therefore a lot of people, including me, are assuming that Josh often uses these speakers. I don't have any, but I do have Creambacks, which are similar. So that's why I decided to use a cab with those.
@@LivingroomGearDemos No One Knows...the exact speakers🙃sorry I had to do it... someone hit me
Massive props, man. You got super close!
Nice hard work! It sounds perfect!
Sounds awesome. Great job, man.
Dude you’re insanely good! it’s crazy
hoping for more videos from qotsa
WOW! That's so cool. Nicely done
Grrrreat work!! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, great job, great guitar skills, great recording study, thanx bro!
Great video man, I really love these tone quest type things.
Amazing work!
That was amazing. I love your stuff, I love your curiosity. You have really great ears and - I kind of hate you for this right now - you have a metronome for a right hand. Excellent work.
Great job! First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed your process, thanks.
Thanks!
excellent job man. really good stuff
Great job dude. Interesting stuff.
The tones in this video sound unbelievably accurate. Great Job.
Excellent job! You have tone chased well.
Broooo! congrats, it sounds amazing!!!!!
Incredible, you got the exact tone man. Fantastic!
My dude!!! That was exceptionally close. 👏👏👏

Thank you. I produce electronic music, and when I was just stepping outside of my "newbie" into "intermediate" phase, I got so annoyed by experienced producers telling first-timers to "stop ripping off established musicians" and to "find their own style". Yeah, easy for them to say, they've been at it for a decade if not more. Originality is a practiced skill, not an innate quality. You pick it up by attempting to copy your favorites. You learn things by copying them, but you also learn things from the happy accidents when you fail to copy them and came up with something new. Production, musicianship, etc. The skills do not just lie in learning to use your ears, twisting knobs, micing an instrument or playing your instrument well. It's the entire creative process as well. Established musicians can be so discouraging by more or less expecting newbies to flesh out their own style within the first year of producing. Copy as much as you want; every attempt to copy is another step towards finding your own voice as an artist.
🤝 agree on everything, man.
Very nicely put. Music is iteration. Every artist is a collage of the stuff that excited them, that's what makes it so cool.
This is what I like to see on RUclips. Thanks for your hard work.
Man that’s insane! Great job! + it’s a nice exercise
Well done 👊
Very cool!! You nailed it!!
The end result was insanely close, really nice job!
Great point on tone chasing. Your videos are super useful. Being able to learn how to achieve iconic sounds is great for anyone that wants to record. Studio time isn't affordable for a lot of bands and having really solid information for free like this helps people have more ideas they can use to make better recordings.
It sounds like a different take from the same sessions, really good work
Absolutely amazing! 👏
Nailed it. Sounds incredible!
I really enjoyed your video and the effort you put in! This is a standout guitar tone that really inspires me. Some of the coolest sculpted mids I've ever heard!
Thanks for checking out!
You nailed it! Great job.
Taste like gold lml such a great video dude.
You are doing gods work. I love how you take such time and care with my favourite guitar sounds. Your version sounds fantastic. Much appreciated details . I too am learning from your process. Thank you!!
How does any of this have to do with God's work.
That will be ten Autopilots and twelve Our Hommes, my child.
@@brucearp4094 depends on your guitar god and tone journey. I won’t impose my religion on you however.
Well I just don't joke about my soul and eternal damnation. I will pray for you
This is cool. Played it so well!
I highly agree with the learning part.
Awesome trip! Thanks man.
Great job , sounds ace
Very well done 😍
Amazing job. Congrats
Good job man!
A great Bravo !!!!! It was really awesome ! Thank you for this video !
Well done, dude! You nailed some seemingly elusive tones
Thanks!
Your incredible dude. Please don't stop.
*you're.
Your belongs to someone, and you're means you are.
Wow! Amazing, a job well done, very interesting video, thanks!
I remember covering this song shortly after it came out. I was about 13. Absolutely scratching my head in rehearsals! We ended up, with some help. Getting decent tones. But you absolutely nailed it! As close as one can. Fantastic! Loved the video and appreciate your effort. Take care!
Good point at the end. When I was searching for my tone, I figured why not start from some of my favorite sounds and records. It's been a journey, but I'm confident saying I learned alot from my heroes.
I think you absolutely nailed it!
Bruh i wanna give little notes about it but nah. Nailed it. Even your full mix was SCARY close to the original when you swapped between em. Awesome vid!
awesome job!
I love it! This is a great way to learn technique.
Tone chasing is not only fun, but you learn so much by doing it. I’ve been playing since 1977 and I’m always discovering new things. Imagine how dull guitar playing would be if you didn’t discover things when you played.
Amaaaaaaaaaazing job here mate!!!! Yuge!✔️🔥😈💯🙏 closest I’ve ever heard it. At times sounded exactly like the record. Godspeed
Great job!
