Mad Max Guitars For Doof [Studio Time: S1E5] 

In a world filled with rust, one man dared to be *METAL!!*

You will ride forever in Valhalla, shiny and chrome!

Awesome video explaining the guitar sounds in such an epic movie! Some highlights! 6:08 Example riffs 10:17 Doof Warrior's theme (My favorite!) 13:29 Palm muting technique 15:13 Example of Max and Doof Warrior fighting riffs

Mad Max Fury Road was actually a heavy metal album that was transformed into a movie.

Right when I heard the huge, sludgy guitar riffs in this soundtrack, I immediately thought of those stoner sludge rock bands, stuff like Neurosis, QOTSA, Kyuss, Audioslave, Soundgarden, Tool, Melvins, Mastadon.This soundtrack is easily just as heavy as any of those bands, and I love it. Its also cool to see that Tom knows how those guys record those huge guitars: tuning your guitar to Drop C or lower, getting a nice big tube amp and setting it to 11, and then getting a nice overdrive and a nice boost pedal to push the amp even harder. Extra points for using an SG and Les Paul.

I'm not usually a big fan of bombastic scores, but the "Fury Road" score was absolutely brilliant and 100% appropriate. I love how he took a handful of very simple melodies and did tons of variations on them in many styles - everything from an ominous, electronic John Carpenter style to hard metal Brad Feidel action style.

WITNESS!

Undoubtedly one of the most unique and awesome characters in movie history... definitely memorable and the guitar parts are just as awesome, great job, sir!

I love the "middle finger" right hand picking technique. I'm going to have to adopt it now.

I can't be the only one who thinks that shirt looks comfy as fuck.

This guy plays the guitar and flicks you off at the same time.

one of the most memorable moment from fury road was when doof warrior was sleeping hahaa

I like his modesty. Guitar players can be incredibly judgemental of others and I'm sure many d-bags would laugh at his technique. But this sound and technique are PERFECT for what they are for. These are spray-paint huffing lunatics and the sloppy, huge and mean sounding riffs make complete sense. If there was some dude with perfect technique doing insane metal scales up there I wouldn't buy it. Just me. (And to be clear I don't think he's a bad player at all.. He sounds like me which I'm big enough to admit that's not saying much hah. But of course he has a job making music for awesome movies so that says a lot)

I love stoner, I love SGs, I love Orange Amps, and I love mad max. I didn't know any of this and It is gnarly as fuck.

my favourite scene in the film is when the war party is introduced and the doof warrior is just rocking out on the truck playing that incredible riff

I would like to personally thank you for the music in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Almost all the Dutch people I've met speak really good English. I mean, even people working cash registers at supermarkets. The Netherlands, I salute your education system!

why this is not on bluray as an extra??

You gave this film such an awesome score. I can't wait to hear what you do with Batman.

After all these years, the simplicity of the chords used still resonate in my head. Always great to come back and admire the riffs!

Loving these tutorials/glimpses into your production techniques. Thanks so much!

This soundtrack is dangerous! I was so hyped that almost took my car and started to chase people! Maybe next week!

Thanks for all of these, Tom, and for being so open about your methods, tools, techniques, and tricks. Really enjoying all of your videos.

awesome, it has that wes borland vibe!

Some cracking insight there, I love practical studio videos like this. Good work JXL.

AMAZING video! You gave the Doof Warrior such a unique voice through your music in the film, thanks for sharing this with us!

If any studio is going to do a Heavy Metal movie they should hire Junkie XL to help with the soundtrack. Along with metal bands

Talented and humble, rare qualities in this day and age. Great insight to his thought process and motivational. Keep up the fantastic work and these videos.

Man I remember rocking out to your soundtrack on NFS: High Stakes as a young'n. How funny almost twenty years later your work comes back to me.

It's brutal simplicity and roughness gives it the charm. Brilliant. Cheers!

I'm just blown away. The level of talent and progression Junkie XL has gone through over the years. I remember 17 years ago buying the Blade soundtrack. I was all complacent in my smugness of music snobbery - that I knew of one more techno artist than my friends did. And then I never hear of the guy until now. Well done sir. I hope to meet you some day.

One of my favorite videos of all time thank you, love your work

I haven't seen the movie yet, but when I do watch it I'm going to appreciate it that much more since I watched this. Thanks for showing us all the work that goes into an audio track. This makes me want to learn how to play guitar.

Beuaty of this all is simplicity of the riffs and the very creative way how you manipulate the sounds what you create! I really appreciate how you explain all this stuff to us. 💚 cheers

Junkie. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for that amazing soundtrack. Not only does it enhance the Mad Max videogame when you play it in the background; it also enhances all car chase scenes: Blues Brothers, Ronin, even the Dabney Coleman movie: Short Time. Thanks again.

This was awesome! Thank you for the breakdown!

I love how he explains everything from the movie i love how technical it is

Thanks so much for being so genuine and honest! Love your videos so much!

That was a great character for the film and the driving of the forces seemed to work well with your riffs. Great work.

Absolutely awesome, you're humble and so talented! Thank you 🙏

Good stuff! Really enjoying the insights you are giving us. I used to play guitar so rloved those parts of the film!

Was a pleasure to watch this!

Because of the music and the doof warrior, i want to watch the movie over and over again to remember how awesome the movie is ! Thx Tom ! I can't wait for BvS man !

I really love your down to earth way. Very inspiring for closet composers.

Loved the sound track and how it was played around the Doof warrior

Tom, You and Hans are bringing down the house in Hollywood, looking forward!.

The guitar with the roar of the real engines on each vehicle is one of the most badass things ever

what you have created kind sir, is no less than epic.

Driving through the desert playing stoner rock has been a fantasy of mine for a few years, and I'm sure that's quite a popular one :D so seeing this movie last year was an amazing experience

I am obssesed with the mad max music !!!!! OBSSESED !! Its geniouuuuuuusssssss ... I looooove this guyyyyyyyyy !!!

Wow sooo awesome , now I know why i loved Doof warrior in the movie.

Super cool video. Mad Max Fury Road is a masterpiece.

damn videos like these take me back to the glory days of shredding guitars in garage bands after school. That amp ... Fuck I want that amp, its sound is.... i dunno , has the gritty of marshal and the fullness of mesa boogie

Thank you so much for the amazing soundtrack, dude!

I’m not a star guitar player Makes one of the most meanest badass awesome sounding riffs I have ever heard

It's nice to see you grow into something bigger and better while maintaining your class and dignity. It's a shame Tijs and Armin did not. Your sound was always the best and will continue to be. That beauty will never fade. ;) Congratulations on your success.

This is really technical. Kudos!

great movie and wonderful soundtrack!!!!!

This man is a god...... I love the Forza OST as well, that's when I first found out about his music

DOOF WILL NEVER DIE. HE LIVES.

thanks junkeixl you great..💜

You're awesome dude, nice job

I'm blown away by the customized computer battle station. The touchscreen controller... boggle. What IS that thing? The two little white controllers to the right... WTF are THOSE?? The Dopfer keyboard with a real hammer action. Wow, didn't even know that existed. Junkie you are brilliant at this stuff thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's very humbling yet inspiring.

This reminds me abit of the original Forza Motorsport Soundtrack which Junkie also composed; one of my fav game soundtracks!

I LOVE YOU THOM!❤

Just Brilliant

SEE YOU IN VALHALLA

You will RIFF forever, shiny & chrome \m/ The Doof Warrior's tone was pretty friggin awesome... now, we see why. I'm going to have to give these pedals a try!

I used to have an epiphone version of that silver burst. Now I have a Gibson, but not silverburst! Just beautiful!

Awesome video Tom, my personal favorites to use in my studio are the Gibson Les Paul and Gibson SG

Nice, Amazing videos !!!

Your work on this really good movie made it great!

This lesson is so cool 😀

I like the Doof... Thanks Tom!

perfect tone

Awesome! Doof warriors riffs reminded me a bit of the doom band: ex people, album bird.

Junkie, for the benefit of your hearing. Please wear some ear protection when you're sitting so close to the amp, blasting at loud volumes. You can get them custom made and they're astonishingly linear. That said, awesome tuts here :)

Orange is the best sounding box, good choice :)

Thanks for making this videos! For me the best Doof part was when the war party got stuck and he made those heavy palm mutted down pickings. It made me laugh hard in the cinema, really smart decision to put those there.

These videos are really cool! I'd like to see how you get those KILLER staccato strings on the mad max soundtrack.

gotta be honest, junkie's playing made me to start playing guitar

Looking forward to see your post processing of the guitar :)

My favorite riff wasn't in this video. It was when the war rig was stuck in the mud and there was a jump cut back to the war parties coming closer. The riffs were very heavy and a little slow

Oranjeeee

awesome sounds¡¡

Very down to earth man.....

This is why I subbed 🤟🏽

Awesome!!!!

I love the raw sound of it it fits the movie so well not super clean not trash but pure raw guitar

Talent...

great music thanx 💜👑

I just wanna say, the doof warrior guitar music, was awesome , make me feel powerful

Great video! Really, REALLY think you've earned an Academy nom for best original score

killer stuff

you are a hero

Hey, I use the Full Drive 2 too! For Fender Rhodes piano stuff, played through a Bassman.

MASTER! !!!!!

I notice you "top wrapped". Very nice!!

Sweet guitar rig

That silverburst LP. Ohhhh wowwwwww.
