"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'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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
12:00 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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
"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. 🤷🤣
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
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
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.
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:)
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.
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.
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.
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 ✌
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.
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.
That was dead on. I wasn't paying super close attention to the captions during the sound demo, so i didn't realize you were swapping between your tones and the originals until the heavier gain part, and that's only because the original was slightly dirtier (probably the Gibson that you chose not to worry about)
Hey man, excellent video once again. It’s good to try to sound like our hero’s. One important detail of the recording stage, in the original studio video you can see that the amps are also recoded from the back. That’s where your missing bass frequencies were coming from. Luckily you’ve been able to compensate with your plugin. Keep up the great work 🤘
Hey, thanks! Yeah, very true. I did in my video of the VT-40 that I did a while back. It's a neat trick. One thing that I've also learned from doing these videos and studying the guitar stems, is how much low end they are allowing in the guitars. I've always avoided low end, but I'll definitely start to allow more in my tones.
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.
I think the best "hidden sound" is Slash's Live Sound. He has 3 Marshall full-stacks on the stage, probably DSL100 or so, but the main sound comes from two Silver Jubilee's / AFD100's behind the Stage. Legendary man, legendary sound, legendary amp!
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.
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!!
I heard that josh used a zvex super hard on to boost the Ampeg.. I actually designed a pedal that was based on mu amp jfet circuit with a view to get the tones for SFTD..it has more in common circuit wise with the catalinbread sabbra then the SFT (both use mu amp fet topology but the STF in stoner mode had way too much gain imo).. mine has a modifed mosfet input drive stage and it nails alot of the guitar tones on the album,.
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!
I think your tone is nearly identical! It's like 99.9%. When playing the two recordings side-by-side, the original sounds a little wider in the soundstage and maybe slightly brighter in the left channel. If you didn't play them side by side, I'd never be able to tell the difference. Amazing job!
Quite a bit of research and experimentation - amazing stuff! Great to see how these weird amps that have very unique and kinda mediocre sound by themselves can be made into gold in combination and with lots of elbow grease.
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 really got close here man! I’m following the same vein of work, I use ampegs, and have for years because it just works for my my pedal board. But these amps have sonic magic that you can’t get through a Marshall or fender and it’s why the sound is so particular. I appreciate your struggle and funds to find the right stuff that you’d see yourself playing through while gaining more influences like I know you already have 😉 Cheers!
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!!
Pretty cool man. I'm with you....it's fun to know how people record/mix stuff. There's just so many ways to do it. BTW, your conversion from 30cm to 7miles made me laugh harder than it should have
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.
Yes it is fun! These are very unique tones. It's not like you are copying a Les Paul through a cranked Marshall. Or some other common configuration. Eric Valentine pulled some serious magic on this album. And the fact that Josh had the original video taken down makes it all the more enticing
I got somewhat closer a while back using an AC15 with a creamback, channels jumped and pushed by a LPB1 booster into a catalinbread SFT stones mode. A bit of reverb and a AVRI Jazzmaster.
Forget the haters man, it's awesome to see what went into one of the greatest songs of my youth. You hit the nail on the head, keep doing that musical voodoo my friend.

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.

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

Very nicely put. Music is iteration. Every artist is a collage of the stuff that excited them, that's what makes it so cool.

@@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
I heard that josh used a zvex super hard on to boost the Ampeg..
I actually designed a pedal that was based on mu amp jfet circuit with a view to get the tones for SFTD..it has more in common circuit wise with the catalinbread sabbra then the SFT (both use mu amp fet topology but the STF in stoner mode had way too much gain imo).. mine has a modifed mosfet input drive stage and it nails alot of the guitar tones on the album,.
That is spot on. Well done, must have been fun!
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!
i agree, this is a lot of fun to watch. sounds really good!
I think your tone is nearly identical! It's like 99.9%. When playing the two recordings side-by-side, the original sounds a little wider in the soundstage and maybe slightly brighter in the left channel. If you didn't play them side by side, I'd never be able to tell the difference. Amazing job!
Dude... The mix is perfect. WOW Thanks and good work
Great video man, I really love these tone quest type things.
The standard 260 PA is awesome. I love the built in reverb although most people find it useless. I picked mine up for $25
Anyone else notice he called out his own mistake of playing a major chord by accident but the original recording does the same thing at 10:02?
Instantly subscribed dude!!
You nailed it!!!
Excellent video playing and research!!
Well done 👍 Sir
Excellent job! You have tone chased well.
Quite a bit of research and experimentation - amazing stuff! Great to see how these weird amps that have very unique and kinda mediocre sound by themselves can be made into gold in combination and with lots of elbow grease.
man continue you re a genius
Sounds awesome. Great job, man.
Amazing job plus considering QOTSA is all recorded on Tape amd it's a whole different feel becuase of Tape compression. Amazing job
Super cool video. I love those tone deep dives. I think you got super close to the overall sound and vibe of the recording.
This is a lot of work. Congrats man, this deserves a million likes.
Sidenote, would love if you made a video of the HH amp! Got a VS Musician myself that I love
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

Yes it is fun! These are very unique tones. It's not like you are copying a Les Paul through a cranked Marshall. Or some other common configuration. Eric Valentine pulled some serious magic on this album. And the fact that Josh had the original video taken down makes it all the more enticing
excellent job man. really good stuff
Phenomenal job man! I always enjoy watching your videos especially the QotSA ones
I got somewhat closer a while back using an AC15 with a creamback, channels jumped and pushed by a LPB1 booster into a catalinbread SFT stones mode. A bit of reverb and a AVRI Jazzmaster.
Man that’s insane! Great job! + it’s a nice exercise
Well done 👊
