Well. The ‘sound’ is primarily down to their rig. Not to the engineer. Mike is very understandably precious about his set up. As a 2 piece they have both less and more with which to work.
having all the lights on makes this feel like they’re playing in a school cafeteria. I know they’re “uninvited” but get some stage lighting along with a stage. Either way thanks for the free content you guys are awesome!
The first time I heard that speed-metal ending to "Figure It Out", I had the biggest, dumbest grin on my face. It was like they gave me what I wanted before I even realized it.
The live performance of RB (a perfect timing machine), as well as the record of this session (superlative), are simply PERFECT. Awesome. The power that these two guys deliver is amazing, combined with the magnificent work of the technicians. Nothing more to add. Love!
+Kai Schneider It is they always play it slower live. I can guess because he recorded the bass part and singing part separately for the album (very common) didn't realize he couldn't sing and play at that speed and changed it for live stuff. Makes sense in my opinion it is hard to sing and play this song especially all the pull offs and bends.
crossbow170 i don't think thats why.. in most cases it would be easier to do all pull offs and so faster since the rithm is more clear. I think they either like the slow more 'heavy' sounds or they just have too little songs to play a full concert so they stretch it as far as they can
It’s because of the bass lines, he can’t play them at the speed on the album, Come On Over for example, that’s hammers and pull offs, which can be hard and if they play the rest of the song at a different tempo then that riff, it’d sound like shit
Does this crowd even know what greatness they are watching right now? The girl in the front row on her phone makes me sick. Hey, I'll take your front row ticket next time.
Road Glider sometimes when bands gets tired they play slower so it easier to keep in time over long sets but tbh they’re probably playing slower bc why the fuck not?
the bass riffs combined with the vocals are hard for Mike to keep up with live, there's a lot of technical stuff going on with both the bass techniques and all the pedals, but hey, this is a 2 year old comment 😂
Well my fellow people who have come to seek ‘Mike Kerrs Bass Tone’ like I have 4:30 is where one of the camera men have chosen to take footage of his pedal board and revealing what he’s using to create this monstrous tone of his
@@Deaf_Notes yeah but probably one of the main parts of his tone as well is his octave pedal, he looks like he’s using a POG2 with the octave up setting and maybe a little bit of dry but whatever it is this is my favourite bass guitar/guitar tone ever
It's all his bass. His pedal board splits the bass' signal into various octaves and plays them through all the different amps you see behind him. On top of that, he also switches certain signals off with his feet while he's playing. It's pretty awesome.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a backing track tbh. I think most radio show performances are done like this to prevent technical difficulties. I'm not discrediting mike's abilities here but it would be a hell of a lot more convenient to be able to sing without having to completely manhandle a bass guitar on the side, even short-scales.
***** That's Rock 'n' Roll... ;) Even if the gigs take only half an hour, RB are constantly playing there asses of since 2013. These few songs have so much substance and power! They have the potential to be still terrific in 25 years. I'm looking forward for additional gigs and records!
Don Kiel Are you the Roadie friend :) I mentioned about the poor roadie/tech only because he looked like he just didnt want to be there :) BUT what a great job that is and one that I would love. :)
