Sitting here watching Mudhoney with a homemade cup of hot cocoa in my Mudhoney-Big-Muff t-shirt and some sweatpants. Slacker life dosen't get any better than that. :)
I have never seen an interview with them separated! lol They are like an old couple. The one thing I have noticed in every interview is when Steve laughs he looks at Mark. lol
Got to meet mudhoney while travelling Australia....was on my own and i dropped acid...was mental ...meeting your heros tripping ...man that night ill never forget...blew my mind...great experience. Lsd plus mudhoney....works a treat
I laughed when Mark mentioned (and mimicked) the sound his first distortion pedals made, I got out an old danelectro distortion I had when I started, had been in the loft nearing 15 years and that’s the exact sound 🤣
They are one my first favorite bands that got me into Fuzz and Grunge sounds. I still remember hearing Mard Arm bellowing on the intro of Touch Me I'm Sick and being like , "Oh hell yes I want to hear more of this"
November 30, 1993 at the Aladdin Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada, I watched Urge Overkill, Mudhoney and Pearl Jam play a great concert! Man, that was so fun!!! Pearl Jam and Mudhoney jammed at the end of the concert - a sort of Green River reunion jam. SO GOOD!!!! I love these guys. So happy to see them still doing stuff.
I love that Mark has the Ibanez 60's Fuzz. That plastic Soundtank pedal was key to my sound back in the grunge era, too. Just got an Ibanez Overdrive reissue, which is the same muff-derived circuit. Sounds killer.
I had both of those pedals till quite recently...the soundtank was a metal casing first run one...I found I much preferred the OD850 "Overdrive" reissue. Great pedal. Only sold it because I got hold of an original.
When I see these guys I still recall that scene from "Hype " movie when Steve was sayin' to Mark:"...my mom used to tell me that i am not a loser..." Gsus...i.am old...
I love Mudhoney! Thanks for having Steve and Mark sit down and talk about their stuff. saw them in San Jose a few months before this was posted. The guys rock!
I used to went crazy playing over their first two records when a teenager back in 90s. Barre chords and relative affordable licks and leads, my first . Then my gear was crap, recently doing the same again now with real vintage BigMuffs, Fender amps and offset guitars....another level of pleasure! going back to that hobby, since I can't have a band and I'm so dummy to be productive home recording, composing or whatever...
They were THE band of the early SubPop era that made people excited about what was going on in Seattle. Nirvana was the band on the roster with some catchy tunes and melodies.
I remember being at a mudhoney show at the Metro in Chicago. Drunk and taking a wiz. This was when PJ's "Evenflow" came on. I remember having a brief convo with the guy next to me about how I thought that song wasn't that good. I contend PJ is soooo overrated.
Arm and Turner were my best friend and my Jagger/Richards when I was 17 in 2004. We had graduated from Nirvana and classic rock to Sonic Youth and Minute Men and Mudhoney were the band that made it all make sense.
those Ibanez 60's Fuzz Soundtanks were so great, I wish I had've known you could put the guts of pedals in better enclosures in the 90s. Maybe I would still have one of the 4 or 5 I had and destroyed.
I've long been a fan of the EarthQuaker Dispatch Master V3 Delay and Reverb pedal. Funny, Mark used to be a neighbor of mine, still see him around now and again. I always thought he was more of a "whatever's cheap at the pawnshop" kinda guy. Now I'll be tempted to chat him up about EarthQuaker pedals next time we cross paths.
funny that Mark mentions Hendrix and MXR distortion + right outta the gate... I use a dunlop gypsy fuzz and an '82 distortion + in my rig as my foundation sounds!
I have a Park Fuzz that I absolutely adore and a Nightwire (#006). I've got the Nightwire dialed in as a kind of always on pedal for me. I love your guys' stuff. Need to look into that Organizer or the Spatial Delivery.
Everybody in the comments seems to know their gear so lemme just say, Must have a Big Muff. Too much fun. Also totally recommend the Ibanez Tube Screamer. It doesn't overwhelm the natural tone of your guitar. Love it. EDIT: MUDHONEY RULES!
I had an ampeg distortion I loved, but it was a gift. It died at some point. Then I bought a boss overdrive, which was ok. It worked well with the Cry-Baby wah my mother brought back for me as a gift from Florida.
With Green River, I learned about MH many years before Nirvana or Soundgarden.Call it Grunge or whatever, but these guys are the original Northwest sound.
Is there a more iconic pedal for shredders then the Ibanez tube screamer personally I like my noisekick fx Reagan fuzz for when I want to go doom or drone super heavy dirty low end muff like cheap brothel dirty muff, just nasty, not for everyone but that graphic is so cool easily my fave design next to evil bob ross pedal housings nothing quite like it though, lets Make America Fuzz Again
Well done guys. Like it or not this type of reviewing pedals is essential. All the pedals have there own sound. But when you perform in a club or wherever, all those intense sounds get lost you m the band, room and audience. Sure they sound incredible played alone or showcased with a drum machine and mixed perfectly in a studio, but crank that amp up and and battle a heavy handed drummer and the other monkeys trying to be heard, suddenly that 299$ - 499$ pedals is lost in the mix and the listener doesn’t even notice. Anyway, I doubt that was the message you we’re giving, but I personally would love to see pedal reviews show more practical sound checks like this. Well...what I meant to say was thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Cheers
You can easily add different textures to your music in real time very easily just by stepping down. Some people use every pedal for every performance, and some don't use most of them for any performance. Some are used just for specific parts of songs. It just depends on the individual and how they choose to express themselves. Thanks for watching and being here!
Super nice! Mark put my buddy on the guest list in Toronto years ago ( because I told him he didn’t have a ticket ; we listened to them since 93’)… was fucking so kool! Walked right in with Mark Arm haha! … also got selfies a few years later with Mark & Danny !! ❤❤❤
my dude. Mudhoney (or Green River which was basically proto-Mudhoney together with some soon-to-be Pearl Jam members) were basically the firsg Grunge bands. these two guys here could be called the godfathers of grunge and even if it wouldn;t be accurate it would still be somewhat technically correct. Nirvana brought grunge to the mainstream, but mudhoney arguably brought it to existence.
