The exact same thing happened to me. I had never heard of Against Me! until I somehow found this video in late 2015 and within two months they were my favorite band ever. Since then I've seen them 17 times in 12 states and one Canadian province, met all of them several times, got the AM! skull logo tattooed on my shoulder, and I even own the red Nash Telecaster James shows off in this video at 2:33. I attended the second of just two shows (Portland, ME) they played in March of 2020 before aborting the tour for COVID and I fear that I witnessed the last AM! show ever because Laura seems to have lost her mind over the past few years. Even if the band were to somehow be reformed it'll never be the same because James would probably be the only one to come back. At least I had a fun 4 years...
Laura Jane is SUCH a badass! I love the idea of the same signal (lead/rhythm) into a similar amp (transparent) with a "few" effects....and A LOT of heart!
PG has been knocking out of the park lately with these Rig Rundowns! I've been a HUGE Against Me! fan for the past 13 years, and it's cool to see what they're rocking these days!
Trademark and intellectual property law requires that you defend your trademark or you lose exclusive access to it. Fender decided, ages ago not to defend these things so it’s too late now. That’s why there are a billion F style guitars on the market. ex. silver sky. Gibson on the other hand is the polar opposite.
I have never been a huge Rickenbacker fan, but I like them in LJG's hands and music. The smashed yellow one and the all black limited one I like the most.
I'm lusting over that ric 360! You wouldn't think so but white is a rare finish on 360s, I always run into fireglos and blue but I've never played one that didn't play & sound great. That's a great combo for a two guitar rock attack a ric 360 and a Les Paul.
I've been seeing her play a jazzmaster a ton lately. Looks like everyone's playing something different. I'd love to see an updated rig rundown. They're actually coming to my city if someone could appoint me an honorary interviewer. As a fellow transgender musician that could be a cool experience.
Good band option for a rundown, nice selection of gear. Shouldn't shotgun through the interview, but they may have been dealing with an impending door time. Also, Perry needs to chill the F out. Ask your questions, and then shut up and let the person answer. Nobody cares what you're familiar with, they're watching to hear the interviewee talk.
Sorry about that, but we were crunched with time trying to do two Rig Rundowns with two bands (Gaslight Anthem and Against Me!) around the bands' soundchecks and before doors opened. We hope you understand that given these sort of circumstances at nearly every shoot, it's not going to be a 20/20 production and we hope that's sort of the appeal of our program. Thanks for checking it out and we'll try to even things out if you promise to cut us some slack.
Dont be a dick. It's his job to be familiar with a variety of gear and to ask questions, but we can't all be familiar with everything! Its just impossible.
The host clearly knows a thing or two about some of the equipment on stage, so the more people talking about it, the merrier. It's a gear interview. I'm here for both the bands and knowledge. If Perry has something to contribute that a member of the band doesn't, let him. It's his job, and he does fine.
Okay, obviously I should have enunciated my point better. It's not about what he knows or doesn't know, and it's not about being engaged which he certainly is, but you can absolutely interject your personal gear knowledge into an interview without constantly talking over the interviewee. Perry, stop talking over the interviewee. That's all I'm saying.
I honestly laughed when perry said "It probably got an antiquity in it?" because it was a gift from james who literally put an antiquity in *every* guitar he has lol
Laura is such a badass. I love her. I love her attitude. Love her passion for music. Love her willingness to be open about her transition. She's a hero and a fantastic role model for trans rock musicians. Or just queer musicians in general. Not everyone is. Believe me. There are some TERRIBLE queer reps in the spotlight out there. Being yourself takes priority over everything else. She got to be herself, while maintaining a great musical career, surviving in this industry isn't easy for anyone at all, and she's so good at what she does. She has always been SO talented. The community was very welcoming when she came out (From what I've read and heard in interviews). She's just an all around great person. Not to mention, easy on the eyes. I would be honoured to gig with her one day. She's really helped so many people. She may not even know it. Also. I agree with the majority. The interview was a bit weird and rushed. Although when you're setting up to play a gig, it's a little more than chaotic. Either way. Always a pleasure!
I actually prefer the brass saddles. Especially if they're compensated brass saddles and are easier to setup! I through in a fender humbucker and just need to get around to removing the neck pickup.
John Dwyer, Jus Oborn, David Eugene Edwards, and a bunch more. admittedly there are tons of boring virtuosos, but "modern" guitarists with their own sound do exist.
Gold top, mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, rosewood fret board, Custom mohagany body and top, maple neck ebony fret board, different tones from each, then add the bigsby to one or the other, and different tuning and a back up poof you have 10 guitars with the same pickup
Seemed like they were just speeding through everything this time. Rig rundowns have been hit or miss lately guys, you gotta get some more solid interviewers or at least pace things better.

+Premier Guitar Completely reasonable and well-stated explanation. I thought it was pretty obvious they were crunched for time, and *of course* P.G. would want more time if they got it. I think they jammed lots of information in to 12 minutes. Laura's Nash *Esquire* is absolutely killer, by the way.
No, I remember she left the stage suddenly and pushed her way through the crowd like something was wrong before the set was over, but everyone was so drunk and rowdy no one realized that they didn’t finish their set or that anything happened
+zeoalexo you lower it and raise it with your foot like a wah, and with it all the way down it cuts the sound, and as you raise it it raises the volume. Kinda like the volume knob on a guitar, only in pedal form
Nash Guitars is a custom guitar builder. The black tele was a custom order, so it would be pretty hard to get any real specs on it other than what is shared in this video. You could probably email Nash if you really want to know. They're nice guys from what I've heard. Cheers
+We are Gruhak 5 months late I know but I just got an almost identical Nash to what Laura is playing, the only difference is that it has a single coil pickup and a traditional Tele bridge instead of her humbucker. Super light and an awesome sound, I love it!!! Some would sneer at paying a premium for a relic'ed guitar and I can understand that with something like a Fender Road-worn that's just a stock guitar with some seemingly random sanding but the Nash is broken in as if it's been played for 30 years and that makes it quite a sweet player. A Nash guitar would never be considered "cheap" but I'm quite happy with my choice.
SombraPiloto I don't have the slightest problem with relic guitars, on the contrary, i have a MJT strat which i think is an oustanding guitar. This particular tele really caught my eye for some reason and would gladly buy a Nash like this one if i could afford it :D
We are Gruhak I bought the Nash because I saw Laura playing one and thought it was a badass looking guitar. Had to drive about 100 miles each way to get it (listening to nothing but Against Me!) but it was worth it! I'm really liking the road worn Strats I've seen so if I don't buy a clean Strat-type guitar and beat it up myself I might get one of those when the funds become available.
I can't believe that dude that's doing the interview said on the offspring rig rundown that he's always been into punk and didn't know punk bands use p 90s. that pretty much right there proves he don't know shit about punk because p 90s are in almost every classic punk band
Funny, the goldtop looks like a Chibson cause the poti positions are messed up and asymetrical. At least that's what the wisecracks want to tell you, how to spot a chinese facsimile because original Gibsons are oh so perfect ... except that they're not. Nowadays more than ever the quality of Gibson guitars plain sucks. We are at a point where you may get a Chibson Les Paul, change the tuners and pickups, do a solid fret makeover and what you get is equal in value to a "mondays" Gibson original, for a 10th of the price.
The thing i've noticed about this guy is his use of the word "Cool" and "Very Cool". It's gotten so bad it's to the point where I'm only listening for him to say this about the gear. So I counted. In this 12 minute video, he said "Cool" 7 times and "Very Cool" 14 times... GEEZ
8:06 There's hair in between the pickups. I don't even know whose that is. That is totally UNSANITARY! That's disgusting! It probably might be pubic hair.
Fancier gear happens when you bust ass, hustle, surround yourself with quality, professional musicians and keep pushing yourself to write bigger and better (subjective, I know... Maybe catchier and more digestible is a better term?) songs too grow your audience and reach legend status.
I'm happy with my rescued and rebuilt first act guitars and personally rewired 90s kustom amp, but you'd best damn believe that if the money started coming in id be rocking a mountain of Ricks, Fenders, LPs, Bogners and Vox.
