Morello was always a poseur. First line of the Master Class ad...i never trusted politicians or teachers...but i trusted record execs and A&R men. If he has soul its lacking power!
...b..b..bbut he grew up rich and got a masters from Harvard in political science!!! Surely he must be a wise man, telling people about the wonders of gommunism....even though his dad pillaged Kenya for millions and lived in luxury whilst the country starved. RATM was cool when you are like 13 years old, then at 14 you realize it's pure cringe. Absolute bag of shit.
In fairness I saw them in a tiny venue on their first tour and they blew the doors off the place. They played Killing in The Name at least twice because they only had the first record to try and make up an hour! Tom has a masters in politics which I believe he got in Harvard(I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!) so the whole arm the homeless thing on his guitar has always confused me to say the least..I'm a lefty European but many cases of homelessness are linked to mental illness or addiction.That's real,I've lost friends like that. Does he really want a heavily armed gang of schizophrenic crackheads to murder him and his bourgeois parents in their beds?!
Daniel Conway The way I understood his statement to arm the homeless was the argument for gun rights, is that they are needed for protection, and that the homeless are the ones that need protecting the most, so if that was what they really believed why not arm homeless?

There is a lot of confusion over basic terms like : Capitalism, Corporatism, Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Democracy, Republic, and soforth. If people don't agree on basic terms, conversation is impossible. I have talked to self-identified "communists" who are totally pro-Free Market, and I would place them on the Libertarian spectrum. I observe time and time again that people on the Left and the Right who are not radicals tend to agree on being anti-Corporatism/Monopoly/Globalist, but disagree on basic terminology and therefore see The Devil in each other.
I saw a tweet from someone who replied to a sign put up by a restaurant that said the homeless could ask for food rather than dig through their trash by saying "y'all support this but get offended when you hear the word socialism". Obviously a ton of people replied by pointing out charity and an economic system are different and I saw some kid trying to rebuke the replies by saying that he'd rather live in a government system where helping others is the goal rather than a government system where helping yourself is the goal (completely ignoring the difference between government and economics) and that "voluntary socialism is still socialism". This is a huge problem. People really don't understand the discussion they're having and miaunderstandings are unavoidable.

Listen to Led Zeppelin's song "The Ocean" from the Houses of the Holy album. If you listen carefully during the guitar solo you can hear a telephone ringing in the background.
That's the one I was going to post. One of my favorite Zep Tunes. I noticed it in the early 80's . Don't know how many times I answered the phone to a dial tone before I finally realized it was in the mix, LOL.
Agreed pretty much on that silly Chapman Exposure issue, but now I remember why I asked RUclips not to recommend you: so much complaint. For complaining, I prefer my sole self.
He'll teach you how to make ridiculous noises on your guitar instead of learning how to play a solo. My youngest son that doesn't play guitar can teach you how to make those same noises on guitar.
You are so right about music in years gone by, Brad. It was REAL. There is very little if any "real" recorded contemporary music anymore. They've taken all the human factor out f it with technology and over-production.
I agree, about Morello & others. In the 70s there was duo called Seals & Croft, they had a few hits, some have become classics. They NEVER charged a dime for their concerts. Of course one had to send in letters for the seats at a show. They gave their royalties to their Spiritual leader, they were into done Eastern Hinduesque religion, if I remember. They had "Summer Breeze" & "Hummingbird Don't Fly Away" which were both huge hits, all my friends had their records, they were always on the radio.
Regarding RATM and Tom: I feel the exact same way. Glad I'm not the only one who can get into their music and still think he's an absolute idiot. Regarding "mistakes" left in recordings: I love to hear them. Along with the absence of autotune, mistakes leave the humanity in the performance.
i'm not a musical expert BUT i have always thought the "cough/sniff/breathing" mistake was not a mistake at all, it's just pink floyd. pinkfloyd.fandom.com/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Song) About :26 into the recording, a cough can be heard, followed by a sniff at :31, then some faint breathing at :35, then :37-:42, when the opening acoustic solo starts up. It's rumored that at the time of recording, Gilmour's smoking habit caused him to cough during the solo and that he quit after hearing it played back during mixing; it's possible that the cough, sniff and breathing were intentionally or accidentally recorded and left in to bring character to the song. they were known for doing ANYTHING imaginable to get a sound that fit something for no reason other than they could. just like the guitar in the opening, it is pronounced and VERY hard not to notice; In the original album version, the song segues from Have A Cigar as if a radio had been tuned away from one station, through several others, and finally to a new station where this is beginning. Gilmour performed the intro on a twelve-string guitar, processed to sound like it was playing through an old transistor radio, and then overdubbed a fuller-sounding acoustic guitar solo. This was mixed to sound as though the guitarist was sitting in a room and playing along with the radio; it also contains a barely-audible whine that slowly changes pitch, emulating the heterodyne between two drifting AM signals, as if it's receiving radio interference. Brian Humphries was working with them and was familiar with the band and their style, but NOT familiar with abbey road studios layout and mistakes were made during the recording sessions. BUT the cough is way too pronounced for EVERYONE to miss and let slip by. in my opinion.
My Chemical Romance's first album is very obviously recorded in someone's basement so there are a lot of points when they speed up and slow down. Gerard's voice is also incredibly raw, so it adds to the ambience of the album.
Tom Morello: “Let me teach you how to become a wannabe poser communist guitar player while being a capitalist and making money off of you in a free market. Oh and by the way, go out and buy my new Fender signature model telecaster so I can put more money in my pocket.” More like, Master Ass.
@EntityZero "The band would go BROKE if they did that" - I mean, they have enough money to sustain themselves but even ignoring that... the argument is that capitalism can sustain a band while they can't come up with a decent alternative. What do they want, exactly? "you never actually explain how they're hypocrites for trying to make money for their work" - Because they're using capitalism. Why haven't they started their own commune? If their ideas are so great, why haven't they put the in practice? They'd rather continue making money than make a change. That's why they're hypocrites. Being rich is better than being a real revolutionary. "did you know that making music and going on tour costs money too?" - That's a schoolyard argument. You have to essentially ignore all the politics and economics of the argument and make it solely about the expenses of creating music. Well, they have enough money that they could be making music without any expense except living expenses, which they can easily afford. They already have the instruments and most likely can afford studio equipment. A lot of musicians spend one or two years just making music without actually releasing new albums or touring, simply making a living out of savings and residuals so the cost of doing music is just free time. "If you support a cause that's similar and you work a typical 9 to 5 job, why don't you quit if you support the movement?" - because most people don't support a cause that involve destroying an entire economic system and holding their own bosses at gunpoint to deprive them of their wealth.
Great episode as usual. My understanding is that the mix on "Wish You Were Here" was deliberately unbalanced in order to represent someone jamming along with the radio, hence the radio tuning at the beginning. Whilst I'm in no way associated with PF so this could be entirely wrong it does fit with the theme of the album, the record industry is only interested in money and not the art _"...by the way, which one is Pink?..."_
@EntityZero RATM should not perform at a music festival if there's a serious conflict of interest (how big it is shouldn't matter), and ticket prices are not arbitrary but a function of the demand to attend (or be seen attending) a certain show. The fact is that RATM doesn't care because there's no actual conflict of interest, they love money.
@EntityZero "opportunity to make an explosive comeback at a large venue" "RATM doesn't control the ticket prices." - big contradiction here. The fact that it's a comeback makes their show more desirable. You can control prices by choosing to participate or not, if big artists chose not to perform at coachella it would devalue the admission price.
The best mistake left in is the Kingsmen Louie Louie starting the last verse at the wrong time and leaving it in. I believe I read that it was done in one take. I am surprised that the fuck mistake was the one they mentioned. If you listen for it it’s pretty obvious. I love it.
This may be the first of your videos I've seen (thanks, RUclips algorithm), but I shall subscribe. First, it's shit post Friday, which speaks to me in ways I'm not even sure I'm comfortable with. Second, I had more laughs watching this than I did all week. Thanks for not caving to PC culture and calling the BS as you see it.
At the beginning of "And You and I" from Yes, you can hear Eddie Offord say "tape's rolling" from the control room (probably from a headphone bleed) to which Steve Howe responds "OK" then proceed to begin the song. This was never edited out in any way. It's on the newer editions too.
The irony with that is, communism takes a huge, very controlling gov to enforce it. That is the basic paradox that marxists seem to ignore. They claim to want freedom, but call for a big gov to enforce their 'freedom'. Makes no sense. Just like the marxists in antifa and blm, who claim to hate capitalism and corporations, yet receive millions from huge corporations, like nfl, nba, big tech, amazon, ect. Funny how that works.
I couldn't agree more about Morello! I've been saying that for years. The last time he was relevant besides the 90s, was a brief comeback with Audioslave (early 2k). You should do a show on posers. Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree should be next.
Yeah, But, you play with such soul, and stile, We always love to hear you play, When you set up a Guitar, Or, Service an Amp, is always nice, to see. and, Hear you play... Don't ever stop. or feel that way....
Brad, if memory serves, Kelly Groucutt, the late bassist of ELO, did the operatic vocal for Rockaria. Here's one I've noticed. On Heart's song "If Looks Could Kill," there is a short guitar solo after the first verse on the vinyl album. On the CD, there is no solo at all, just the rhythm guitar and drums.
I like that Gibson included the competitor’s gear in the video. It makes it seem more about the vintage collection, vs Gibson’s themselves. This should pay off for getting players and collectors more interested in their “tv channel” content vs just feeling like you are getting marketed to.
Us bass players really don't get the love, but you're right about no excuse for not having a gig. I am in 2 bands and asked to be in another. Thanks for the shout out!
Gibson's bread and circuses while they ignore the glaring issues with quality control and doing the Paul Reid Smith routine of over-valuing themselves.
Another famous "fuck up" is in Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. The female singer at 3:00 mins ish in, her voice breaks singing the high note and you can hear kieth richards in the background saying "woooo" they kept it in the song because it fit so well and was so full of emotion but was in fact a "mistake" but just added to an already incredible song.
Hey Brad, I'm upgrading some of my tools. How is the Sealody solder station working out for you? Seems you have had it for a bit. Are there any others you can recommend? The first solder station link you have up is not working, btw.
My two sons [one 19, the other 24] have discussions with the buddies pretty regularly about how tired they are of filtered over produced music and technology in general and about the future where they can go back to the roots of music. Musicians like Dave Grohl and John Butler are their heroes. I always had a wide variety of music in the house when they were growing up, just like my mum and dad did when I was a kid. I know there's good music out there now, and my kids are aware they just have to search for it a bit. They tell me they're bored with the whole hypnotized culture that for their whole life has promised so much and delivered so little. Gives me hope for the next generation and warms this old mans heart.
Brad,In regards to your comments about guitars in movies,TV etc.As a gear head,I have always been on the lookout for different brands/models of popular guitars and basses.One particular show,comes to mind when you talked about taping over the names of companies on headstocks of guitars.The Andy Griffith show did this consistently,with Andy's guitar which I'm sure was a Martin.Elvis movies too. I thought once they were purchased and owned by the production co.They were sole property of them? It's been going on since television started and I always wondered why.
Hey Guitologist, stumbled across your channel by happy coincidence, but must say I am luv'in it. I don’t play guitar or pretend to know much about them other than knowing when you need a Di Box,. Instead am heavily into electronics and sound engineering. Your speak so much straight up, no bullshit common sense (such a rarity for RUclips these days doubly so if I may say for an American) it’s a pleasure to watch your videos, and I am enjoying going through your back catalogue. Anyhow just wanted to let you know you once a new fan and a big smile from ‘sunny’ Devon in the UK x
I was able to separate Rage Against the Machine's message from their music as well. But as you get older and more experienced you realize that their persona is what happens when you grow up in the greatest country on the globe and have to invent shit to be miserable about to keep from getting board sometimes.
Pretty sure I read an interview where David Gilmore explained for Wish You Were Here; the sound they were going for was for it to sound like someone playing along to the radio, so that kinda fits your thoughts.
Bevan Haswell I either read that or saw an interview with Gilmour explaining it that way. I always attributed the cough and breath as the person who is playing along doing a final throat clear and breath as in a “here goes” moment before playing and singing along with the radio.
"Wish You Were Here"'s beginning left so much to the imagination. I just imagined a guitarist trying to play along with a record. I LOVE stuff like that.
Steve Albini is still producing/engineering albums to this day. Notable recent acts include Ty Segall, Sunn0))), Metz, The Breeders, KEN mode, Screaming Females, etc, but as typical they are all more underground/alternative artists still.
Great video as always Brad! Keep up with your format of " other" guitar stuff. There's enough guys playing guitar on you tube, what you do is refreshing and always interesting.
It’s funny to me that the thing they call out as a mistake in the Kingsmen’s version of “Louie Louie” is dude exclaiming something unintelligible in the background and not when the freaking singer comes in a bar early with the verse, stops, waits, and then comes back in-after the solo at like the 2 min mark. One of my favorite rock n roll moments.
I always felt a little strange loving to listen to RATM, yet completely disagree with their message. Now I know I’m not alone. Tom became a HUGE hypocrite once he figured out there’s nowhere to sell a “Soul Power” Fender Strat in North Korea.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer did you really just use the "I know you are but what am I?" defense? To each according to their apparently vast need, I guess.

Tom Morello Master Class is an oxymoron, contradicts itself
Mark Ledford he can play for sure, whether you like the guy or not is a different thing...
He'll teach you how to make ridiculous noises on your guitar instead of learning how to play a solo. My youngest son that doesn't play guitar can teach you how to make those same noises on guitar.
@@GRANKOR can he play if you took away his Digitech whammy?. point is he is very overrated and has made his money as a gimmick
I came here to see see the butthurt over the anti-communist comments. I wasn’t disappointed lol
I love that dissonant chord in Roxanne. I’ve always thought it was intentional.
I always liked the laugh afterwards.
Can't wait to sit down and watch Gibson's "TV" network while picking on my squier tele.
You are so right about music in years gone by, Brad. It was REAL. There is very little if any "real" recorded contemporary music anymore. They've taken all the human factor out f it with technology and over-production.
Rage Against the Hypocrisy!
That was almost the title of this video. :D
Great minds.
Rage against the Irrelevance
why you think zack left they sold out he did't wont to the only one i rely like is zack seems more real than any of the others in the band
I always thought Stings falling on the keyboard was a played part because it fits.
Kev Mac I’ve heard he backed up and accidentally hit the keys of a piano with his butt.
Kev Mac totally, it’s like a sliding chromatic into the opening line
Thank you! Everything he says from politics to his own playing is cringeworthy.
Yeah nobody can play a solo with the end of a guitar cable better than Tom Morello. LOL!
Such a great episode ! Thanks for taking the energy to post it .
Rage has become the machine they used to rage against!!!
I agree, about Morello & others. In the 70s there was duo called Seals & Croft, they had a few hits, some have become classics. They NEVER charged a dime for their concerts. Of course one had to send in letters for the seats at a show. They gave their royalties to their Spiritual leader, they were into done Eastern Hinduesque religion, if I remember. They had "Summer Breeze" & "Hummingbird Don't Fly Away" which were both huge hits, all my friends had their records, they were always on the radio.
Regarding RATM and Tom: I feel the exact same way. Glad I'm not the only one who can get into their music and still think he's an absolute idiot.
Regarding "mistakes" left in recordings: I love to hear them. Along with the absence of autotune, mistakes leave the humanity in the performance.
i'm not a musical expert BUT i have always thought the "cough/sniff/breathing" mistake was not a mistake at all, it's just pink floyd.
pinkfloyd.fandom.com/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Song)
About :26 into the recording, a cough can be heard, followed by a sniff at :31, then some faint breathing at :35, then :37-:42, when the opening acoustic solo starts up. It's rumored that at the time of recording, Gilmour's smoking habit caused him to cough during the solo and that he quit after hearing it played back during mixing; it's possible that the cough, sniff and breathing were intentionally or accidentally recorded and left in to bring character to the song.
they were known for doing ANYTHING imaginable to get a sound that fit something for no reason other than they could.
just like the guitar in the opening, it is pronounced and VERY hard not to notice;
In the original album version, the song segues from Have A Cigar as if a radio had been tuned away from one station, through several others, and finally to a new station where this is beginning. Gilmour performed the intro on a twelve-string guitar, processed to sound like it was playing through an old transistor radio, and then overdubbed a fuller-sounding acoustic guitar solo. This was mixed to sound as though the guitarist was sitting in a room and playing along with the radio; it also contains a barely-audible whine that slowly changes pitch, emulating the heterodyne between two drifting AM signals, as if it's receiving radio interference.
Brian Humphries was working with them and was familiar with the band and their style, but NOT familiar with abbey road studios layout and mistakes were made during the recording sessions.
BUT the cough is way too pronounced for EVERYONE to miss and let slip by.
in my opinion.
Squeaky drum pedal on Since I’ve Been Loving You. Once you hear it you CANNOT unhear it.
My Chemical Romance's first album is very obviously recorded in someone's basement so there are a lot of points when they speed up and slow down. Gerard's voice is also incredibly raw, so it adds to the ambience of the album.
Sell out to big a corporation, yeah that really sounds like rage against the intelligent, politics and music never mixes well these days. 🤣 👍 🇺🇸
Just stumbled across your online tv network. I feel like we just became best friends.
Tom Morello: “Let me teach you how to become a wannabe poser communist guitar player while being a capitalist and making money off of you in a free market. Oh and by the way, go out and buy my new Fender signature model telecaster so I can put more money in my pocket.” More like, Master Ass.
well put.
As a bass player, I gotta say Brad was right. I was number 13 on the list.
RAM should play for free if they really believe in their own drug.
@EntityZero "The band would go BROKE if they did that" - I mean, they have enough money to sustain themselves but even ignoring that... the argument is that capitalism can sustain a band while they can't come up with a decent alternative. What do they want, exactly?
"you never actually explain how they're hypocrites for trying to make money for their work" - Because they're using capitalism. Why haven't they started their own commune? If their ideas are so great, why haven't they put the in practice? They'd rather continue making money than make a change. That's why they're hypocrites. Being rich is better than being a real revolutionary.
"did you know that making music and going on tour costs money too?" - That's a schoolyard argument. You have to essentially ignore all the politics and economics of the argument and make it solely about the expenses of creating music. Well, they have enough money that they could be making music without any expense except living expenses, which they can easily afford. They already have the instruments and most likely can afford studio equipment. A lot of musicians spend one or two years just making music without actually releasing new albums or touring, simply making a living out of savings and residuals so the cost of doing music is just free time.
"If you support a cause that's similar and you work a typical 9 to 5 job, why don't you quit if you support the movement?" - because most people don't support a cause that involve destroying an entire economic system and holding their own bosses at gunpoint to deprive them of their wealth.
Great episode as usual. My understanding is that the mix on "Wish You Were Here" was deliberately unbalanced in order to represent someone jamming along with the radio, hence the radio tuning at the beginning. Whilst I'm in no way associated with PF so this could be entirely wrong it does fit with the theme of the album, the record industry is only interested in money and not the art _"...by the way, which one is Pink?..."_
I have to agree with you. I don't think Pink and his pals fid anything that wasn't well tjought out and incredibly creative.
Rage Against the Machine: Capitalism is evil
*headlines Coachella at $400+ a ticket*
Entity, unless you a refuting the absurd, I suggest you provide reasoning with your points.
@EntityZero RATM should not perform at a music festival if there's a serious conflict of interest (how big it is shouldn't matter), and ticket prices are not arbitrary but a function of the demand to attend (or be seen attending) a certain show.
The fact is that RATM doesn't care because there's no actual conflict of interest, they love money.
@EntityZero "opportunity to make an explosive comeback at a large venue"
"RATM doesn't control the ticket prices." - big contradiction here. The fact that it's a comeback makes their show more desirable. You can control prices by choosing to participate or not, if big artists chose not to perform at coachella it would devalue the admission price.
The best mistake left in is the Kingsmen Louie Louie starting the last verse at the wrong time and leaving it in. I believe I read that it was done in one take. I am surprised that the fuck mistake was the one they mentioned. If you listen for it it’s pretty obvious. I love it.
This may be the first of your videos I've seen (thanks, RUclips algorithm), but I shall subscribe. First, it's shit post Friday, which speaks to me in ways I'm not even sure I'm comfortable with. Second, I had more laughs watching this than I did all week. Thanks for not caving to PC culture and calling the BS as you see it.
At the beginning of "And You and I" from Yes, you can hear Eddie Offord say "tape's rolling" from the control room (probably from a headphone bleed) to which Steve Howe responds "OK" then proceed to begin the song. This was never edited out in any way. It's on the newer editions too.
Power to the people means more freedom not more government control.
That's what it SHOULD mean. I think what it means to Tom Morello is power to the trendy communists to give me all their allowance money.
The irony with that is, communism takes a huge, very controlling gov to enforce it. That is the basic paradox that marxists seem to ignore. They claim to want freedom, but call for a big gov to enforce their 'freedom'. Makes no sense. Just like the marxists in antifa and blm, who claim to hate capitalism and corporations, yet receive millions from huge corporations, like nfl, nba, big tech, amazon, ect. Funny how that works.
Thanks for calling out Morello's bullshit. It's been a long time coming.
the best show in the internet!
Yeah but that's only until Gibson's newest show! LOL!
BigDGuitars especially if you're a guitarist born between 64-76. Brads channel is my ASMR.
Keef Junior my channel is good too. Hahah. Love brad though
Ozzy Osbourne's "Flying High Again" - the tempo speeds up after the solo and chorus. Not really a mistake, but I always notice it :)
Louie, Louie trivia, the P bass used on the recording is owned by my bass player band mate.
My uncle told me once that his brother owned the squeaky bass drum pedal from dazed and confused.
THE REAL DUMB AND DUMBER wasn't the famous Led Zep squeaky pedal on Since I've Been Loving You?
@@GRANKOR yeah you're right. I couldn't remember which song he said it was used on
I couldn't agree more about Morello! I've been saying that for years. The last time he was relevant besides the 90s, was a brief comeback with Audioslave (early 2k). You should do a show on posers. Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree should be next.
Yeah, But, you play with such soul, and stile, We always love to hear you play, When you set up a Guitar, Or, Service an Amp, is always nice, to see. and, Hear you play... Don't ever stop. or feel that way....
Brad, if memory serves, Kelly Groucutt, the late bassist of ELO, did the operatic vocal for Rockaria. Here's one I've noticed. On Heart's song "If Looks Could Kill," there is a short guitar solo after the first verse on the vinyl album. On the CD, there is no solo at all, just the rhythm guitar and drums.
Interesting.
13 videos in a day is overkill.
I like that Gibson included the competitor’s gear in the video. It makes it seem more about the vintage collection, vs Gibson’s themselves. This should pay off for getting players and collectors more interested in their “tv channel” content vs just feeling like you are getting marketed to.
Dammit! I'm a bass player and I'm not on the list.
Russell Burnham you should be !
Me neither...oh, well.
Kevin Bresnahan - I checked and you are both on the list.
Typical bass players can’t even read a list. Ha
Us bass players really don't get the love, but you're right about no excuse for not having a gig. I am in 2 bands and asked to be in another. Thanks for the shout out!
Gibson's bread and circuses while they ignore the glaring issues with quality control and doing the Paul Reid Smith routine of over-valuing themselves.
Axess2084 Idk, seems like most of the qc problems are on the fret board binding.
Another famous "fuck up" is in Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. The female singer at 3:00 mins ish in, her voice breaks singing the high note and you can hear kieth richards in the background saying "woooo" they kept it in the song because it fit so well and was so full of emotion but was in fact a "mistake" but just added to an already incredible song.
That cough on wish you were here scared the shit out of me as a kid. Was dark with headphones thought someone was in the room.
Yeah ! was really high fidelity !
Vincent Price in Thrill made me literally start crying and call out for my mom and dad when I heard it in my headphones in my bed as a kid. LOL!
Hey Brad, I'm upgrading some of my tools. How is the Sealody solder station working out for you? Seems you have had it for a bit. Are there any others you can recommend? The first solder station link you have up is not working, btw.
This was so funny! Tom Morello is unbearable
My two sons [one 19, the other 24] have discussions with the buddies pretty regularly about how tired they are of filtered over produced music and technology in general and about the future where they can go back to the roots of music. Musicians like Dave Grohl and John Butler are their heroes. I always had a wide variety of music in the house when they were growing up, just like my mum and dad did when I was a kid. I know there's good music out there now, and my kids are aware they just have to search for it a bit.
They tell me they're bored with the whole hypnotized culture that for their whole life has promised so much and delivered so little. Gives me hope for the next generation and warms this old mans heart.
When Tom endorsed Killary Flintstones for presidency, I knew they were posers.
Brad,In regards to your comments about guitars in movies,TV etc.As a gear head,I have always been on the lookout for different brands/models of popular guitars and basses.One particular show,comes to mind when you talked about taping over the names of companies on headstocks
of guitars.The Andy Griffith show did this consistently,with Andy's
guitar which I'm sure was a Martin.Elvis movies too.
I thought once they were purchased and owned by the production co.They were sole property of them? It's been going on since television started and I always wondered why.
I would not pay $500.00 to watch Christ play the piano in my basement...
How about electric guitar?
It would be a tough gig due to pre existing wrist conditions
Got a Tom Morello master class ad from this video.😂
Ha, I forgot it was Friday I was about to Rage
Hey Guitologist, stumbled across your channel by happy coincidence, but must say I am luv'in it.
I don’t play guitar or pretend to know much about them other than knowing when you need a Di Box,. Instead am heavily into electronics and sound engineering.
Your speak so much straight up, no bullshit common sense (such a rarity for RUclips these days doubly so if I may say for an American) it’s a pleasure to watch your videos, and I am enjoying going through your back catalogue. Anyhow just wanted to let you know you once a new fan and a big smile from ‘sunny’ Devon in the UK x
I was able to separate Rage Against the Machine's message from their music as well. But as you get older and more experienced you realize that their persona is what happens when you grow up in the greatest country on the globe and have to invent shit to be miserable about to keep from getting board sometimes.
Pretty sure I read an interview where David Gilmore explained for Wish You Were Here; the sound they were going for was for it to sound like someone playing along to the radio, so that kinda fits your thoughts.
Bevan Haswell I either read that or saw an interview with Gilmour explaining it that way. I always attributed the cough and breath as the person who is playing along doing a final throat clear and breath as in a “here goes” moment before playing and singing along with the radio.
How long until Agnesi starts doing 'Guitar Themed' food reviews.
"Wish You Were Here"'s beginning left so much to the imagination. I just imagined a guitarist trying to play along with a record. I LOVE stuff like that.
Still love Gibson guitars...
My favorite "nugget" of a flaw is Twist and Shout. John Lennon had a cold and blew out his voice. It just MAKES the song.
Fortunately, I cannot separate RATM’s music from their infantile politics.
Steve Albini is still producing/engineering albums to this day. Notable recent acts include Ty Segall, Sunn0))), Metz, The Breeders, KEN mode, Screaming Females, etc, but as typical they are all more underground/alternative artists still.
In before fanboys pollute the comment section with their idolatry.
You made it just in time.
Great video as always Brad! Keep up with your format of " other" guitar stuff. There's enough guys playing guitar on you tube, what you do is refreshing and always interesting.
Is the Gibson network shot in China?
Mike Sims that is gonna be Epiphone TV 😂
12:58 Man, thanks for the video. It made me happy hehhehe
Gibson has to be the worst run guitar company in history. They just drop turds 24/7
It’s funny to me that the thing they call out as a mistake in the Kingsmen’s version of “Louie Louie” is dude exclaiming something unintelligible in the background and not when the freaking singer comes in a bar early with the verse, stops, waits, and then comes back in-after the solo at like the 2 min mark. One of my favorite rock n roll moments.
"F- you I want do what you tell me", I'll charge you 500usd for a concert ticket where we play old songs.
I always felt a little strange loving to listen to RATM, yet completely disagree with their message. Now I know I’m not alone. Tom became a HUGE hypocrite once he figured out there’s nowhere to sell a “Soul Power” Fender Strat in North Korea.
and in this comments section: lots of people who don't know what communism is
And people like you who think they do.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer did you really just use the "I know you are but what am I?" defense?
To each according to their apparently vast need, I guess.
