Gibson '70s Explorer | First Impressions with Brian Bell (Weezer) 

hi weezerirony

Me neither lol

Weezerirony sup weezer irony it’s me demarco irony wanna kiss

It’s like hearing Mikey Way talk. Super rare, but oddly soothing to hear

Same. When I met him he said one word. But he was very kind.

That part always bugged me, Rivers is already the lead singer why does he have to be the lead guitarist as well

Spencer Savage Probably because Rivers is the better guitarist of the two. Brian is kinda known for messing up live. Brian also plays piano and synth live, so if any songs have a solo and piano, brian wouldn’t be able to play it.

Tyree Flores rivers is good enough to play lead and sing live though. Weezer is also BALLS heavy live. Which is soo fuckin funny. They’re amazing

@@spencersavage491 Probably because he writes the parts and doesn't want anybody else to play them

The Chad Pad ehh I disagree with that he wanted no one else to play them. Rivers is a pretty great guitarist and when you write the guitar parts, you know how they want to them sound and it will be easy to play without thinking

originalno and as many fenders

i can see this. Rivers has a tendency to go thru phases.

I think he used this when he was 15 because I found a photo with him when he was 15 holding it

@Glasmania He plays the song, never overlays. Seems to fit well into a two guitar band, which is not always easy. They have a great thing going. Rivers is also a great player. He usually gets his parts first take. So says Rick Oacsec

@Street shitter Most people don't know his name, but can hum a bunch of his riffs. I'd say that's the definition of underrated.

Scott is a pretty good rocker, I’d say.

I know he’s like so hot like

i found my grandfathers 1995 fender strat in my attic, he died in 2002 and nobody played it since he died until i found it, i’ve been playing it for 2 years now and i still haven’t changed the strings lol, it’s the best playing guitar i’ve ever had

Absolutely true, I bought a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Studio that had been sitting in a closet for 20 years, easily my best playing guitar

Just like Wine, guitars get better with age

No, no, no friend, no, Brian seems more like a Vampire, but I say it out of affection, not offense, in a good way, he is a very handsome vampire.🧛🏻‍♂️🎸♥️

Don't we all?

Even though he is a giant douche, Rick Nielsen of CT playing the Hamer version of Explorer is when I first thought, "what a cool shaped guitar."

I fell in love with the explorer thanks to Dave Grohl in Foo Fighter's first years

can confirm

For me it was Skwisgaar from Dethklok lol

It ain’t even that. The Explorer was always so mystical to me. It felt like it came from outer space. I found out about it before I found James Hetfield. I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’d use an Explorer for metal.

Any Tim?

yeah, strange that he didn’t mention his other guitars in this Gibson Explorer advertisement.

Really? You do realize this a video for the explorer. Why in the hell would gibson pay him to talk about a fender?

grizmit that guy is an idiot

kristu19 sam and max pfp

Yo te conozco

But why is Brian cut out of your pfp tho? Hahahahah

Triple V 101 II I am what ...

⚽️🏀🏈

Bro, Brian is literally cut out of your profile picture.

Do you like Where is My Mind? by the Pixies, & Tyler by The Toadies?

Undone - "Sweater Song" off the 1st WEEZER record...kinda does have that same feel.

Kevin Leonard Rivers said it was ripped off of sanitarium.

DUDE SANITARIUM IS ONE OF THE BEST METALLICA SONGS.

I have an 80s model and it's a BEAST.

Damn

BOOOOO!

Ethan Runnels you did what to him

Nothing wrong with a Mexican precision bass though.

@@iamalpharius9483 #missedthejoke

I don’t understand 😢

Henry Jones you cant complain about a rosewood bird now a days, you’re lucky to find one with a rosewood board, any old guitar can get ebony

Nothing feels better than pressing string to rosewood.very satisfying.

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews Allen Collins was probably the first main pioneer of the Gibson Explorer. It’s sad he never gets the credit for his playing. Him and Rossington we’re both beasts in their own way

Rich boy

Beepbeep Lettuce Lol. It was bought on payments! Lol

My first guitar was a $200 Squier Strat. 14 years later, that’s still the only guitar I have. 😂 I’ve always gone in and out of playing guitar though. I’d probably play more if I had better equipment. The only amp I have is a bass amp. Lol.

No, go on.

No one leaves and no one ever will

Nah you got it wrong. Say it ain't so sounds like that Moby and Christina Aguilera song "here we are now going to the east side, I pick up my friends and we go for a ride". Lol.

I just ordered the Gibson 70s Explorer and Flying V. I want that new Epiphone Explorer too. How do you like it?

Yea why

@@elduderino3995 its just weird, you don't say Edward from iron maiden

He mentioned all the bands that inspired the record they were working on... that’s why he brought them up.

Ive had my Gibson LP 60s standard as my 1st electric for exactly two weeks today and I love it. Sounds, looks, feels, and even smells amazing. Inspires me to play for hours on end everyday. With that said, its not ergonomic and takes a bit of a physical toll after hours of playing. Consider that when choosing

Its a ds-2. Many people don't like the sound. But fucking adore it

That's because it sounds better in a band setting with a bass guitarist

ark_eezee YT it will have neck dive. All guitars like that shape will. But...get a wide thick padded strap and that will help

Perfect balance with sitting. Love it. Never need to use a strap.

Watch Cliff Em All, James uses a Gibson Explorer.

He played a few of the solos on Pinkerton as well as some other various leads on that album.

He's been playing solos more often, especially since their 2014 album EWBAITE.

Sp1cy KaZen same ;) I need an alpine white one that looks just like it

The Chad Pad that’s what i have

Guitar Hero III

Undone: the sweater song

Lol!

It's a quality Gibson. Have you never played one? I'm hearing the Epiphone version is nice for a much lower price.

@@xjohn1970 LMFAO at that comment! All I own is high end Gibson, I have three Gibson explorers and one is a custom shop that was barely over that price point! Why don't you go buy a damn epiphone pal!

@@xjohn1970 I have a 07 Gibson Classic white Explorer and a 09 Epiphone 58 Korina Explorer and the Epi plays better, better neck profile, sounds better and has better build quality than the Gibson. 8/10 of the time I pick up any of my guitars now, it's that Epi (next up is a LTD H1000). It's just a better guitar overall. But that doesn't mean I don't like the Gibson. As a matter of fact I love it! That's only because there's a lot of sentimental value in that Guitar. I've spent countless hours playing it, and I know it better than anyone else ever could. So I know very well that my Gibson fails when compared to my Epiphone in every way. So in my personal opinion buy an Epiphone 58 korina, 84, Gothic, swap the nut (which is super cheap to do, maybe 50 at shop, less than 30 to do it yourself), maybe the pickups if you want, and you got a top of the line guitar without paying what you'd pay for a Gibson.

Your used to cheap China pricing. 30 years ago, USA made guitars were $800 to $1,000. Minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. It has almost tripled now. The guitar should be about $3,000. By the way, I bought two USA made guitars making $3.35 an hour. Everyone wants everything for free nowadays.

Ray H. I agree. Little crazy

J Mascis is a Jazzmaster player, dude.

Kumo. I think he’s referring to how brian is also really chill, similar to J mascis haha
