Yep, after watching a lot of videos here, I am really amazed how high is technical level is - and he additionally sings, quite often with a different rhythmic pattern.
@@esstan7720 He uses Travis Bean guitar that is made out of aluminium and is quite heavy, so he wears strap this way probably because of not to overload spine (maybe he has problems with back).
Albini's guitar tone is fantastic. Christ, I wish I could get that out of my Fender Twin. It's like a metal bucket come to life and barking into another metal bucket.
He uses a very rare distortion pedal from 1970 called "Percolator"(there are some videos around here, one of them with Albini explaining) and a vintage Travis Bean guitar with an aluminium neck. If you want to sound like him, you probably have to sell your soul. I bought "Atomizer" at release and I am still getting goose bumps listening to these razorblade-like strings.
Electronic Audio Experiments makes a pedal called the Dude Incredible. Its an IVP preamp + Harmonic percolator. As close as you'll get with a single piece of gear
He only uses it for the heavily distorted parts, though. It isn't used here, for example, but you can hear it clearly in the coda of Canaveral, or in a more subtle way in the latter part of The Idea Of North
@@jmcburney658 No need for fights, the second guy is correct. Albini's sound mostly comes from the 70's Intersound IVP mic preamp he uses as his primary guitar tone (blended with a 60's Fender Bassman since Shellac started, the IVP was solo for Big Black and Rapeman). This is documented in Albini's rig diagram for circa 2000, the IVP blended with the Bassman and a power section to get it up to normal cabinet levels goes inside the big aluminum box with one knob he's always going into. The Percolator is a splattery fuzz that sounds like it's broken, you know when it's on. For those invested in acquiring the Shellac tone for their own use, Electronic Audio Experiments offers a solid clone of the IVP called the Surveyor.
0:19 when you troll the audience with the best song ever made
The cocktease at the beginning of this vid is fucking hilarious
Dat trolling in the beginning.
It's good to know that John Oliver can just jump right in to play guitar for Shellac. RIP Steve. You are a true inspiration!
Steve does not get enough credit for being the great guitarist he is.

Maybe the day he tunes his guitar well 😂

A lot of it is just pure playing technique. Especially the bb days.
Rip Steve, lost a great one 😢

It would be cool if he was tuned a little tighter though..

Whipping Post!!
Whooooa..classic
R.I.P brother. ✌️
i shed a tear when steve played those notes of gasoline one last time..
Es Kerosene, no Gasoline.
To get Albini's sound you need a harmonic percolator pedal. Good luck finding one.
He only uses it for the heavily distorted parts, though. It isn't used here, for example, but you can hear it clearly in the coda of Canaveral, or in a more subtle way in the latter part of The Idea Of North
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
