I was wondering how he made that noise in the solo. Never thought I'd find a video of the man himself explaining exactly what he did to produce it. Cool!
I have literally known of this man all my life. And i can't believe that he is this down to earth and so nice. I have more respect for him now than ever.
I think he's talking about the circuit bending community. The idea is you experiment with cheap electronic toys by attaching wires at different points which changes the signal path ie "bending" the circuit. Adding simple components like pots as Steve says or capacitors etc can be part of it
I remember how amazing I found the guitar solo on "Look in her eyes" from Vince Neil solo album. Steve Stevens is an unique musician, creative, virtuoso and very entertaining to listen to.
omg I adore him so much and to use chinese ray guns for his personal SPACE GUITAR style is much more royal rock´n´roll than just pushin a button on an industrial fabricated guitar STEVE RULES!!!
That’s an EVH Wolfgang, designed by Eddie VanHalen. They used to be made by Peavey, but now they’re being made by Fender...but they have their own logo “EVH”, instead of “Fender” on the headstock.
Stevens vos sos genial... Mucho mas q otros guitarristas q por ser veloces lo tienen como Dioses... Te prefiero a vos para aprender a tocar la guitarra por que SOS INTELIGENTE y eso es lo mas importante para mi.... La gente no entiende hoy tus maneras o búsquedas porque es la época de Internet... De tener todo resuelto... De jugar a la play... Entonces la gente no va a entender porque sencillamente no es posible que entienden ni siquiera algo... Muero por como has tocado White Wedding en el video que pone "Live at overdrive" del 2008 creo... Sos un crack!!! 👉🥂
@@thereverendofrock1863 that's right. That exposed record is such a great under-rated album. Unfortunatelly it was released in 1993 and grunge was very popular.
TC Electronics, next time, ask the person who REALLY did it on the album - John Goodsall of Brand X. From a Rolling Stone article: Published on Jan 31, 2012 "John Goodsall - lead & rythm guitars, Ric Parnell - drums, Mike Porcaro - bass, Billy Idol, vocal/piano/composer, Sylvester - keyboards. This song had been composed by Idol with his live guitarist Steve Stevens. The live band are listed in the sleeve but the tracks were actually recorded by LA session men. Keith Forsey, producer had tried recording Billy's band in NY but was dissapointed in their studio performance. Forsey & Idol hired pro session musicians in Los Angeles to record the album. John Goodsall's signature 'machine gun' effect in the gtr solo was acheived by beating down the neck of a Fender Strat with his knuckles.Miming to the video and live Stevens jerks the tremolo arm at that point which obviosly has a pitch modulation effect & not the original percussive acheived on the record." On an unrelated note, I love my BH-550, great amp!
He also used the ray gun effect during his guitar performance in Michael Jackson's hit Dirty Diana. But he changes the speed. I want to know how he did that. It starts out slow. Then it speeds up. Then it slows down again.
My question about the effect in that song is that he changes the speed. I want to know how he did that. It starts out slow. Then it speeds up. Then it slows down again.
Why don't they just redisign the new guitars that will incorporate those sounds by just the press of a button? You've got those special effects on synthesizers. Why not electric guitars?
Pretty ironic for a sound company like TC not to employ a sound guy to film an interview. If you would have put out the extra 200 bucks someone the sound guy would have noticed that Steve covers and hits his mic constantly with his guitar
