Any real musician is usually incredibly humble and down to earth. Sure you get good players and singers who are total knobjobs, but I don't consider them to be true artists. A real artist has fallen in love with every facet of their creativity and are rarely ever pissed off about anything because they feel honoured to be in their position. Sorry for the rant lol.
As a Filipino dude who is a guitarist, listens almost exclusively to alternative rock and was brought up on classic rock, Joey is a hero to me. Much more than Pacquiao since I'm not a fan of boxing or sports.
@@tysonrinker5958 yeah if you're using dial up haha (not a dig i just thought it was funny, cause the audio is super crunchy and has some intermittent high frequencies)
He is??? Wow!!! Cool nugget of info!! Never seen a guy w a pony tail hand Jonny a guitar, but I guess that’s cuz he doesn’t switch guitars nearly as much as Ed
@@the_musiccellar No. Plank is kind of the guitar tech for all three of the guitarists, and occasionally Colin. Duncan Swift is Jonny's personal guitar tech who only works for him.
For the love of god I wish I could have done this interview. Didn't seem like this guy knew anything about the Pixies . However I 'm still glad we have this video.
I'm a broad church guitarist and like many I know a multitude of guitarists - and I have to say, Pixies music is one of the most iconic guitar soundscapes, truly original music, with mostly accessible effects, a fantastic homage to a fantastic band
I just can't believe how in the beginning of The Pixies, Joey Santiago went from having to borrow Kim Deal's Les Paul through a Peavey combo amp to the rig and choice Gibson guitars he uses now
Great rig rundown. I love Pixies. I love the way Joey describes what his pedals do. The feeling they project and what they say. Very simple but spoken like an artist.
Guys, you REALLY need to set up the sound BEFORE doing the interviews - and if the sound for some reason is terrible anyway (like it is here) you need to comment on it. Also you didn't ask Joey what year his Custom is. Anyway, very happy you did this rundown as I've been looking forward to it!
Black Francis is one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time wow I'm surprised Joey didn't mention the reason he played the gold-top Les Paul originally was cuz he didn't have a guitar at the time and Kim Deal lent him her Les Paul edit: aha Kelly Deal mentions it exactly on the Breeders episode: ruclips.net/video/Lqc1tSyk0O4/видео.htmlm10s
Rebecca Dirks is with P G S now. She does this daily Tone Report that is a good watch. FYI since so many were asking, and yes it is definitely Premier's loss and Pro Guitar's gain getting her.
I love these rig rundowns but the audio issues and camera work here was really sub par. Mike everyone up! I'm positive Shure or someone would give you the hookup for a shout out.
It's cool that Joey's reverb pedal of choice is an affordable one (the Holy Grail Nano). I've got that pedal too, and honestly as far as reverb goes, I can't imagine ever needing anything more.
You know, just one of them there "Klon" fuzzy stomp thing-ys. I think it makes his electric twanger sound more lively for them rock n roll fans. Next week we were gonna get an interview from some guy called Howard Dumble, I never heard of him, so I turned him down for an exclusive with the guys down at the First Act factory, so look forward to that gee-tar devotees!
I don't know normally approve of denigrating RUclips comments - and I really like Bohlinger - but that is the funniest gear-nerd comment I've read for a long while. Nice one!
Pixies at Bogarts, Cincy early 90's, loudest damn concert I've ever attended speaking of AC30's dimed. Liked the E-H Holy Grail Mini but for some reason it didn't like a daisy chain power supply--had to isolate power to work. "Flurb"=Flange + Reverb. Enjoyable interview!!
I love this video, even with the crappy sound (ironically, they are in the presence of so many experts). That tech shouldn't have walked back the 'Charles is so underrated" comment to specify just rhythm guitar. It is true for vocals and even his song writing, for which he is highly regarded.
Well done Premier Guitar. Pixies have been completely overlooked in the US. I love the old guy looking terrified when Joey says "Scare the hell out of them."
8:41 HAHA that old guy has got his place sorted for the moshpit already "DO 'SOMETHING AGAINST YOU', YOU PUSSIES!" Joey really reminds me of Louis CK here, the best dudes
for "tech" people, you guys sure do need help with these videos! is recording 2 channels of audio that difficult? it should always be a lavalier mic on the host and a handheld mic for the guest. and bring Dirks back... GOSH.
How can the lead guitarist in the greatest band of all time possibly be this nice and humble?!?

Probably because of his asian upbringing.
Dan Miller? George Harrison?
They are normal playing instruments
Greatest band of all time lol no way good band and humble sure
As a Filipino dude who is a guitarist, listens almost exclusively to alternative rock and was brought up on classic rock, Joey is a hero to me. Much more than Pacquiao since I'm not a fan of boxing or sports.
Previous yt video, Billy Corgan: "Touring just destroys your guitars". Pixies: "Yeh we tour with 1950s Martin's and 1960 ES335's, s'all good"
How come a magazine that's all about sounding great and stuff always has such shitty audio? ^^
The audio is perfect
@@tysonrinker5958 yeah if you're using dial up haha
(not a dig i just thought it was funny, cause the audio is super crunchy and has some intermittent high frequencies)
Joey is such a nice guy and one of my all-time guitar heroes. I wish him well ! Get well soon !
Wow, what a dude Santiago is. I love that he describes his pedals by what face he pulls and what colour the sound is!
Great rundown! Joey seems like such a down-to-earth and FUNNY guy.
Exactly, i would love to have a beer and a jam with him
I met Joey after a Pixies show in Memphis back in 2011 and he gave me and each of my friends one of his custom picks. Class act.
Duncan Swift is also Jonny Greenwood's guitar tech. Awesome.
He is??? Wow!!! Cool nugget of info!! Never seen a guy w a pony tail hand Jonny a guitar, but I guess that’s cuz he doesn’t switch guitars nearly as much as Ed
Is he Plank?
@@the_musiccellar No. Plank is kind of the guitar tech for all three of the guitarists, and occasionally Colin. Duncan Swift is Jonny's personal guitar tech who only works for him.
@@asktheidiotgaming539 amazing!! Just that tele and that starcaster! Sounds a lot less involved than this Edge gig!
For the love of god I wish I could have done this interview. Didn't seem like this guy knew anything about the Pixies . However I 'm still glad we have this video.
I'm a broad church guitarist and like many I know a multitude of guitarists - and I have to say, Pixies music is one of the most iconic guitar soundscapes, truly original music, with mostly accessible effects, a fantastic homage to a fantastic band
thoughts on the band The Church? also very cinematic "soundscapes".
the old guy at 8:44 gets me hahah!
That’s the average age of a Ryman employee right there
That was a very frightened old man
The old man closeup was like Tim and Eric.
I just can't believe how in the beginning of The Pixies, Joey Santiago went from having to borrow Kim Deal's Les Paul through a Peavey combo amp to the rig and choice Gibson guitars he uses now
He's still amazing, by the way, just stating fact is all.
Yeah it’s cool
Duncan is guitar tech butler. "It's very kind of you to say so, sir. Thank you very much sir."
Bahahaha, spot on. I got the same vibes. Only needs a monocle! 🤣
Great rig rundown. I love Pixies. I love the way Joey describes what his pedals do. The feeling they project and what they say. Very simple but spoken like an artist.
I saw Pixies live in January 2014, and that was the loudest show I have ever been to. From this relatively modest setup.
The hell is wrong with the audio?
It's fucked up. For more information consult Premium Guitar. He he. JK
the Mic keeps going out and there voices are picking up from the camera mic
Don't worry about it.
That microphone was scared around all that badass equipment.
Sounds like a lose 1 pin on the in-hand mic. After losing the ground, the balanced pair started picking up radio frequencies.
"those bigsby's just stay in tune you know?" No Joey, you're just magic
The closeup on the old man looool 8:39
I saw these guys live with Weezer a little while ago and they totally rocked.
Well without Pixies, Weezer wouldn’t be Weezer
8:40 the blues face struck fear into his soul.
I wonder who that dude is haha
@@the_musiccellar Merle Haggard
Midnight Philosophical wait really? He works as an usher at the Ryman?
It definitely scared the hell out of him like Joey wanted lol
Love the old man at 8:40 haha
GigRIg2, nice. Half of those pedals are pretty stock standard, cool to know that we mere mortals share something in common with Sir Joey.
Great Rig Rundown of one of my favorite bands. THANKS!!!!
One of the best venues in the world right there!
Morse Code: “MY G STRINGS OUT!” You kill me Joey 😂
Guys, you REALLY need to set up the sound BEFORE doing the interviews - and if the sound for some reason is terrible anyway (like it is here) you need to comment on it. Also you didn't ask Joey what year his Custom is. Anyway, very happy you did this rundown as I've been looking forward to it!
Isn't the original gold les paul kims guitar?
Expensive tickets and despite a short show, the audience roared for an encore and they just walked off stage and said screw you fans.
Black Francis is one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time
wow I'm surprised Joey didn't mention the reason he played the gold-top Les Paul originally was cuz he didn't have a guitar at the time and Kim Deal lent him her Les Paul
edit: aha Kelly Deal mentions it exactly on the Breeders episode:
ruclips.net/video/Lqc1tSyk0O4/видео.htmlm10s
"I like distortion when I bar chord ....a lonely parking lot when i ride on my board..."
Joey is such a trip. “It’s like a second rocket booster and it’s purple.”
That old dudes face plus the zoom in was priceless, hahahaha
Joey has just said "scare the he'll out of them" . The old man did look scared.
Rebecca Dirks is with P G S now. She does this daily Tone Report that is a good watch. FYI since so many were asking, and yes it is definitely Premier's loss and Pro Guitar's gain getting her.
I think Albini said he introduced the Pixies to Marshalls while recording Surfer Rosa. Previously they were using Peaveys.
Why is the audio so terrible? :s
I love these rig rundowns but the audio issues and camera work here was really sub par. Mike everyone up! I'm positive Shure or someone would give you the hookup for a shout out.
i like how the string on the bigsby isnt aligned
The orange picks are 60 millimeters. I have some at home.
Yeah Tortex yellow=0.80, orange=0.60, red=0.50
Joshua Jonah Green - 0.88, yellow - 0.73.
Joshua Jonah hurt
60 thousands. Not 6 centimeters.
"it's the best - for me" bless u

The old man is making me lose it
Ace Ventura strikes again!!
Haha. He's a great guy but he is the love child of ace Ventura and Billy Bob Thornton.
Billy Bob Ventura
8:41 scare the hell out of 'em LOL
8:39 #1 Pixies Fan!
08:38 “I bow before you Joey! Tell me how to live!!”
i love that rig rundown guy,he does great ones,especially with brian may.but he was genuinely freaked out in this one.....he kept it together though
Pixies at Bogarts, Cincy early 90's, loudest damn concert I've ever attended speaking of AC30's dimed. Liked the E-H Holy Grail Mini but for some reason it didn't like a daisy chain power supply--had to isolate power to work. "Flurb"=Flange + Reverb. Enjoyable interview!!
Saw them same era in Chicago... They were insanely loud and the power went out about 20 secs into the first song. Not sure what caused it.
I love this video, even with the crappy sound (ironically, they are in the presence of so many experts). That tech shouldn't have walked back the 'Charles is so underrated" comment to specify just rhythm guitar. It is true for vocals and even his song writing, for which he is highly regarded.
Thank you for uploading this :)
I don't really break strings anymore, I wear them down to the point where the wrapping comes off of them...
Pleeeseee say you did a Rig Rundown with FIDLAR! They where supporting the pixie on this tour!
Im back here just to hear Joey say "HOLY F*****ing GRAIL" again. I find that to be my new catch phrase works for everything try it.
Dude that moog pedal is out of this world
Thanks, PG
Well done Premier Guitar. Pixies have been completely overlooked in the US. I love the old guy looking terrified when Joey says "Scare the hell out of them."
It definitely did the job like Joey wanted lol
They really need to get another guy to do these interviews
I like how he says, 'guitar', kinda like Rudy Ayoub.
Duncan Swift The man behind Jonny Greenwoods live show.
1:19 I thought he was going to say those were Seymore Duncans...
Joey is such a cool cat!
Neil Young's guitar tech has a hell of a job.
Same as The Edge's!?
...now I want to hear the show...
What a foot pedals? So that’s where they create the great guitar sounds. Whow grazy!😎👍❤️
Wow this would be great if you could HEAR ANYTHING THEY WERE SAYING
8:41 HAHA that old guy has got his place sorted for the moshpit already
"DO 'SOMETHING AGAINST YOU', YOU PUSSIES!"
Joey really reminds me of Louis CK here, the best dudes
Louis CK? Man, that comment didn't age well.
the microphone they're using keeps going out
Hey Joey, if you’re still cycling, u should ride here in SoCal, lots of Pinoy cyclists here👍
John bolinger looks like a cross between Lux Interior from the cramps and Herman Munster in this one. All good though, pixies are superb
let me explain Chuck Berry's rig.
1 guitar, 1 cord, and 1 amp. lol
(actually used 2 amps and a wireless transmitter for guitar)
There's too much emphasis on Tech nowadays
I need that pick.
Joey ❤
Great video. But I just hate SO MUCH of those little ads for other videos in the middle of the screen every minute...
Do you also have audio issues at around 8:20?
I have a Peavey Windsor (imitation JCM 800) and a vintage 65 Fender Super Reverb. This gives me some ideas! ;D
8:40 😂
What about Paz!!!!
why can i hear a life support machine?
take a shot every time joey says yknow
now that vibrolux is awesome
I have the exact same 65 Vibrolux as Joe Santiago for sale.
how much
+Alberto Lopez 3k
That's a cool pedal board.
Hey guys. Would anyone know which Fishman pickups Charles has on his Martins? Cheers
Nice!
Does the interviewer not know speaking into the microphone means you are heard?
What's with the audio on this one?
Joey is one of the Most underrated guitar Heroes! So unique and everybody tried to Copy His Style in the 90s
Either he or the people around him are worried he's gunna forget his name for some reason?
for "tech" people, you guys sure do need help with these videos! is recording 2 channels of audio that difficult? it should always be a lavalier mic on the host and a handheld mic for the guest. and bring Dirks back... GOSH.
It IS always the G string! Or the B. It's always one of those.
+fullmetalfunk I was gonna say exactly that. It's ALWAYS the G, alright.
jayrobb9 My B is a problem on my Strat all the time. Graphite on the nut helps but man. Any other guitar, it's always G.
+Steve Knight I went the wound G for a long time. Eventually did go back to an unwound. Used to swear by the wound G.
***** No way man haha. Just can't do the wound G. Especially with the gauge strings I use.
jayrobb9 It just doesn't *feel* right.
Still not sure if I like John doing the rig rundowns, but I freakin love The Pixies.
Lav mics would be advantageous
I did not know that there was so much equipment to this. You can tell he loves what he does.
These guys have EXQUISITE taste in gear...
Cant' even continue watching it because the stupid audio issues...what are you even saying???!!!! FAIL
I agree that the audio is bad, but you can can hear it very clearly. . .
joey uses a holy grail just like me
The EUROPA LUNA
GHOSTS
8:40🤣
