In this video I jam on some Kirk Windstein inspired metal riffs through my Randall RG80ES! I’m a Crowbar fan, and when I lit up this Randall tuned down to B, I just thought, CROWBAR!!! So I wrote a couple riffs and had some fun with it. Crowbar is a legendary metal band, killer live band and Kirk is a kick ass down to earth dude! Much love to Crowbar and Heavy Groovy Metal!

Kirk seems to use drop A a lot more these days. Crazy that you have one of those old Randalls. That is the sound for sure. EMG pickups + Randall=New Orleans Doom tone. Fantastic tones, and I love Crowbar as well. Being from New Orleans, I don't understand why they don't get more recognition as a New Orleans band. They have been around in some form for over 40 years and created a sound that has influenced so many musicians. All hail Crowbar!!! These guys don't get nearly the props that they should in the history of New Orleans music.

@ericwilliams538 Год назад

I have recently rediscovered Crowbar. I have pretty much always known about them, and have heard a few of their songs in the past ( here and there), but never truly listened to them. I'm more of a huge Death ( the band of course) fan, and lot of bands have taken the back seat per day. I have been on a huge Down kick here lately and that sparked my interest to check Crowbar out again, and COC of course. It looks as if I'm gonna have to set my guitar up and down tune to B. I'm glad I have a Floyd Rose....that will make down tuning easy ( and adjust my neck).....well for me it will be easy.

@brokenlevelmusic Год назад

Thats cool man, ya I often revisit bands I hadn’t quite discovered or given a fair chance🤘

@reps138 Год назад

I have also had the same rediscovery of crowbar.. Mostly bcz i finally got myself a bass, being a guitar player. Bass has been extremely awesome.. My guitar is tuned to B bcz of crowbar

@codyguidry5619 2 года назад

Kirk is one the nicest guys on the planet. I've seen them at least 5 times and am proud to be from Louisiana where I can see them on a pretty regular basis. Ive got 2 signed vinyl records and a signed 7 string schecter that I call my "Crowbar" guitar. You definitely nailed the tone. Did you use the Boss Metal Zone pedal as a boost like Kirk does or are you using modeling software?

@brokenlevelmusic 2 года назад

Right on man! Met him a few times myself, super nice guy. No modeling here, all amp, metalzone(yes, as a clean boost), and cab simulation with Two notes wall of sound.🤘

@ocdrecording 4 месяца назад

Cool video. Solid playing. You are actually close to the traditional Kirk setup. I don't know how much I am allowed to say, but he has switched amps a few times over the years although he does tend to return to the old solid state Randalls. In that particular setup, he likes to use old Boss Metal Zones with the gain at minimum and the volume at maximum similar to how a lot of folks use Tube Screamers. When Crowbar plays overseas, he prefers using a Kemper with a setting designed by Vinnie LaBella from Exhorder.
