Rig Rundown - Red Hot Chili Peppers' Josh Klinghoffer & Flea [2017] 

We did!

Or a cup of tea ☕️

That's because he's English and we were born to do that

the GW Bush of guitar techs

Yes he has the best personality out of all the tech’s.

He really does.

Most British people are really down-to-earth.

Colonel Forbin lol - true. But I’d say that honestly humbled us a lot. When the empire fell. That’s probably the specific moment we started making fun of ourselves, and started being down to earth. Because seriously, you won’t last 5 minute in England if you’re cheesy/fake/arrogant lol..........As soon as people like that walk into a room, they get mocked until they learn how to be humble and nice

Came here to say the same thing. I would love to be friends with that guy.

Right. Id love to just chill and jam and talk with him. Altho id love to do that with the band. Esp flea and john(i miss him) josh is a great player but john was somethinf else. A genius

Yes pleeeeeeease

YES!

No we fuckin want a Johns Signature Strat by Fender

Ricardo SC please

Piyush More both

Premier Guitar thx for another great one. It would be great if you would address wireless routing in rig rundowns. I'm always curious how acts manage this and what their reasons are. I've toured with musicians that run one wireless and turn transmitter packs on and off, and others that have a wireless for each instrument and the switching is done via midi when presets are selected. In a rig like Ian's I'm curious how he handles guitar changes on the Radial JX44 since you can only have one channel on at a time. Thx again!

Itd be impossible not to love this job. The only better job would be being in the band 😉

Damn, that got me.

shits fucked. they could have been the two guitarists bruh like it would have been so tuff.

@@ilanrodriguez7698 I don't see it. I love josh in the band but John takes the band to a whole nother level. Maybe josh would tour tho?

...except that's not at all what happened.

@@Nostaljack jokes exist.

you guys should do one on Warpaint. I think it would be a little more simple but they play cool stuff...

aggroed they did!

stoked. I watched it last night. Im going to pretend they did it because of me! lol

tMattLZ They generally are. You always take care of your audio tech and the sound guy for the show.

i found the greenday tech was kinda dick but the rhcp tech guy seems like a guy i'd drink some coffee or something with.

I read an article where he told the story and I immediately remembered this comment.It may not as fun as it sounded by this video but from a Gearphoria interview this is how it happened: "It was just really bad timing. The monitors engineer that had been with us since the beginning of the tour decided it was time to step away. So he left when we played our Staples (Center) show, which was pretty much a year to the day to our first show back in Hong Kong, and I just thought that, a year in, you should just have yout shit dialed and not be playing your hometown arena show, in front of all your parents friends, with a brand new monitors engineer. It was his first show. So I had a horrible show in LA at Staples. The second show, I soldiered through it but it was still really bad, and the third show with this guy one night, I just had enough and I kicked a monitor really hard."

I think there was actual footage of him slamming his foot into a amplifier

yeah I was at the show! My first RHCP concert actually August 14, 2012 at Oracle arena in Oakland. Happened while playing otherside there's videos on youtube you can see. He also apologized later in the show for having to hobble along which I believe is also on youtube.

@@jjlovemusic4ever I wonder how much time he spent talking to and working with the engineer backstage before having a fit about his work.

@@mr.anonymous5501 I can imagine that at first he didn't explain what he needed exactly and perhaps let the guy guide him a little, but I would not think that he didn't talk at all with him.

THIS! SO MUCH THIS!

Lmao, it's goes across all my Social Media! Bless PUGS!

Video was unlisted.

Droxcy sww

I'd love to have a mate like Ian

They're such a well oiled machine at this point it's clock work. The Chili Peppers always mix it up though, so it keeps them on there toes! Great team that puts on their shows!

i only use _duck_ tape.

i only use vintage band aids or maybe custom-shop, boutique-type ones

Only NOS band aids!😭

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 tongue-twister

Benjamin Malave fender hooked me up with the weathered comment look

lol

Neil Richert Seriously though, how the f*** did that happen? Hahaha

they share the link to their videos while they're unlisted for a few days before they publish them, so followers on social media often see them early

Liam Shanley Oh, I see. Thanks!

Dang you're lucky. I hope to hear it live one day but it's so rare. They didn't play it when I saw them in Oakland

It's been out for like a week. Dunno why it says published today.

You get the link to the private vid on youtube if you read the site or are a subscriber. Can't recall which. :D

How many can I get for 20 bucks if I have cash?

How much for just the sandwich?

Sea Level Cain how much for 120

KingNothingIII well done

Dad, is that you?

Omg yessss hahaha

GET OUT

Well done !!!

reservoirfrog1 100%. I was a John fanboy for the longest time but I saw them live a couple months ago and Goodbye Angels changed my mind so fast when Josh played the outro

I was with joshhy boy since 2011

He’s got big shoes to fill and I don’t envy the amount of scrutiny he was under when he joined the band. I have to believe that John chose him as his replacement for good reason. I’d much rather see Josh up there with the band than John knowing that his heart isn’t in it anymore. I hope to catch them in concert sometime this year.

I mean, he just left the band...

you mean the one on dark necessities, right? do you know any other song where he uses it?

mikelbengoetxea Yea. And he also used it on jams before monarchy of roses and in the song

mikelbengoetxea He uses it on The Adventures of Raindance Maggie and Monarchy of Roses

Jonny Greenwood homage

Fat Robert Plant.

@john beaver me too

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

and Aaron Spears as Chad's tech.

I can't unsee that....

Wow that’s a great idea

That’s a cool concept man, seriously!!! Have a few techs explain the setup and preparation kind of a Q&A about the bands equipment. Then the band comes on and rocks it!👹🤘🏼

After seeing Jim Brewer open for Metallica, I must say something like what you're suggesting would have been so much better than what we got lol

Luke Whalen Say say it aint so...

check out the ACDC rig rundown.. now that was Awesome !!

Yeah.. I don't really know why they switched to Fender, must be some kind of a marketing thing. In my opinion the Moduls is typical for Flea, it even looks more individual than the Fenders...

His Fenders originally had Aguilar AG 4M pups on it, but I guess he switched em back to Lane Poor.

Nathan Liberty that’s good to hear

We put Chris in the penalty box - commence 15-year countdown...

Premier Guitar I mistyped. Penalty is declined. Continue First Down.

Fingers crossed

Couples of strats and a white falcon..

and a tele, don't forget

FurtiveGold87 His pedal board is pretty crazy

I would love to see how he makes the insane noises in We Believe just after the choruses. So immortal it's scary.

Jason Eckard 2 years later, I am you. And I’ve watched it before. And I don’t like RHCP.

I'm actually watching this after hearing the news. Crazy stuff.

David Eckert Same here lol

wait... what?!?! I guess I'm watching this when I heard that John was back (which is right now)

Ale,- Think we are on the same page.Having been in several bands, I recognize it is very much about individual and group chemistry,- you've got to get that balanced, beautiful mix of personalities,- that's why also I've never heard a "supergroup" , or "star" frontman backed by semi anonymous studio musicians that I thought were any good.Every piece is equally important,- can't lose a bassist, for example, and just suppose any old prooven, skilled, bassist will work .(Could cite many examples),- and that's what I meant,- RHCP have been blessed , over and over, with outstanding and necessary talent,- no small thing.And what's ever better is that they are/ were so different.Peace, friend.

Premier Guitar great rig rundown! i never seen Chris this relax and laugh before on the interview LOL

I read somewhere that John sold his Major. There was a ledger to prove it too.

I hope that as happy we are that John’s back, that Josh knows that we love and appreciate him a lot 💕💕💕💕

Fedsanity Marshall Major 1971 Owned by John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers reverb.com/item/21410832-marshall-major-1971-owned-by-john-frusciante-of-the-red-hot-chili-peppers?

He looks like the lovechild of Roger Waters and Stewart Copeland

Hahahaha

@@andresy6777 lol

😂😂

HAHAHAHA... well done

He had a '62 & '55 Sunburst Stratocasters (also another Sunburst Strat appeared on Stadium Arcadium Era),a Red Fiesta one,an Olympic White one,his Telecaster,a Gibson Les Paul (for Readymade),his Gretsch White Falcon,his Martin Acoustic Guitar,and I bet I'm forgetting guitars

@@jorge.az07 68 strat couple ibanezs etc

@@jorge.az07 that one jaguar he played at woodstock 99. We are hopeless nerds.
