Well. The ‘sound’ is primarily down to their rig. Not to the engineer. Mike is very understandably precious about his set up. As a 2 piece they have both less and more with which to work.
The live performance of RB (a perfect timing machine), as well as the record of this session (superlative), are simply PERFECT. Awesome. The power that these two guys deliver is amazing, combined with the magnificent work of the technicians. Nothing more to add. Love!
The first time I heard that speed-metal ending to "Figure It Out", I had the biggest, dumbest grin on my face. It was like they gave me what I wanted before I even realized it.
having all the lights on makes this feel like they’re playing in a school cafeteria. I know they’re “uninvited” but get some stage lighting along with a stage. Either way thanks for the free content you guys are awesome!
+Kai Schneider It is they always play it slower live. I can guess because he recorded the bass part and singing part separately for the album (very common) didn't realize he couldn't sing and play at that speed and changed it for live stuff. Makes sense in my opinion it is hard to sing and play this song especially all the pull offs and bends.
crossbow170 i don't think thats why.. in most cases it would be easier to do all pull offs and so faster since the rithm is more clear. I think they either like the slow more 'heavy' sounds or they just have too little songs to play a full concert so they stretch it as far as they can
It’s because of the bass lines, he can’t play them at the speed on the album, Come On Over for example, that’s hammers and pull offs, which can be hard and if they play the rest of the song at a different tempo then that riff, it’d sound like shit
Well my fellow people who have come to seek ‘Mike Kerrs Bass Tone’ like I have 4:30 is where one of the camera men have chosen to take footage of his pedal board and revealing what he’s using to create this monstrous tone of his
@@Deaf_Notes yeah but probably one of the main parts of his tone as well is his octave pedal, he looks like he’s using a POG2 with the octave up setting and maybe a little bit of dry but whatever it is this is my favourite bass guitar/guitar tone ever
Road Glider sometimes when bands gets tired they play slower so it easier to keep in time over long sets but tbh they’re probably playing slower bc why the fuck not?
the bass riffs combined with the vocals are hard for Mike to keep up with live, there's a lot of technical stuff going on with both the bass techniques and all the pedals, but hey, this is a 2 year old comment 😂
Does this crowd even know what greatness they are watching right now? The girl in the front row on her phone makes me sick. Hey, I'll take your front row ticket next time.
It's all his bass. His pedal board splits the bass' signal into various octaves and plays them through all the different amps you see behind him. On top of that, he also switches certain signals off with his feet while he's playing. It's pretty awesome.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a backing track tbh. I think most radio show performances are done like this to prevent technical difficulties. I'm not discrediting mike's abilities here but it would be a hell of a lot more convenient to be able to sing without having to completely manhandle a bass guitar on the side, even short-scales.
***** That's Rock 'n' Roll... ;) Even if the gigs take only half an hour, RB are constantly playing there asses of since 2013. These few songs have so much substance and power! They have the potential to be still terrific in 25 years. I'm looking forward for additional gigs and records!
Don Kiel Are you the Roadie friend :) I mentioned about the poor roadie/tech only because he looked like he just didnt want to be there :) BUT what a great job that is and one that I would love. :)

A good sound engineer makes a video so much more enjoyable to watch. Sounds class here
Agreed 100%
Nah...thats their band's sound...they're that great
@@dreadnought2529 Yeah but if the studios sound engineer is shit its not going to sound good at all on a recording or through their sound system.
@@dreadnought2529 naw bro the sound engineer controls the sound if it over takes the drums or vice versa
Well. The ‘sound’ is primarily down to their rig. Not to the engineer. Mike is very understandably precious about his set up. As a 2 piece they have both less and more with which to work.
wow, the soundmix in this is AWESOME.
That crowd just witnessed something amazing.
07:20
Seven minutes into Royal Blood and chill, he gives you that look
Marc Shlyshen iii
09:00 minutes into Royal Blood and chill, and he gives you that look....
Αρτέμης Αναστασιάδης He's definitely looking at those girls 😏
Ayy breaking Benjamin
Like the "SATURATE" album cover bro
Give the sound guy a full time gig!! Top notch production!!
This is probably the single ballsiest-sounding live recording of Royal Blood on the internet. Especially Little Monster.
Well done, CFOX.
I'm obsessed by Royal Blood lately.. Love them.
Little Monster sounded immaculate! The mixing is awesome in this video!
I would be out of my seat jumping around like an idiot
Totally
Like a boss😇🔥💎
The live performance of RB (a perfect timing machine), as well as the record of this session (superlative), are simply PERFECT. Awesome. The power that these two guys deliver is amazing, combined with the magnificent work of the technicians. Nothing more to add. Love!
I think this is one of the best sounding live shows... no frills, perfect.. wish there was more video of this... did they play much more ..:)
Little Monster was perfect
Torture = Watching Royal Blood live... sitting in a f***ing chair.
exactly!!
The first time I heard that speed-metal ending to "Figure It Out", I had the biggest, dumbest grin on my face. It was like they gave me what I wanted before I even realized it.
Such a great experience it was awesome to be there! You can see me wearing the toque in front of mike!
lucky bastard
@10:30 is quite possibly the best exit to that drum solo ive ever heard. Wow.
Clean
having all the lights on makes this feel like they’re playing in a school cafeteria. I know they’re “uninvited” but get some stage lighting along with a stage. Either way thanks for the free content you guys are awesome!
I cant stop listening to them. Their music is my cure
Great Songs, perfect heavy riffs!
Recorded with a samsung 400X pro Dishwasher
Look at those two girls at the front, the one in the tank top and the one in the denim.
They want Mike baaaddd. Especially tank top
Captain Assbananas i know
wouldnt you?
They clear don't feel the music.
They’re just vibing
Ha what I thought all this time
Top notch live sound and mixing
So good live. Such good live production, sounds better then my stupid band's studio EP the bastards.
These dudes are annoyingly good.
That bass sound man unreal 👍
john kyle yeah it’s amazing I have my own that’s a little bit similar but not like his
Is it just me or are the songs a little slower played than on the album?
+Kai Schneider It is they always play it slower live. I can guess because he recorded the bass part and singing part separately for the album (very common) didn't realize he couldn't sing and play at that speed and changed it for live stuff.

playing live sounds better

@@crossbow170 also they get paid based on time sometimes
Me: Theres no good rock bands anymore.
These 2 guys: Hold our beer.
Me: 😲
9:44 His stack cymbal turns inside out hahaha!!
Best studio version of Little Monster
I love the Royal Blood group!
Well my fellow people who have come to seek ‘Mike Kerrs Bass Tone’ like I have 4:30 is where one of the camera men have chosen to take footage of his pedal board and revealing what he’s using to create this monstrous tone of his
I bought that Zvex Mastotron he's using just because of that tone
@@Deaf_Notes yeah but probably one of the main parts of his tone as well is his octave pedal, he looks like he’s using a POG2 with the octave up setting and maybe a little bit of dry but whatever it is this is my favourite bass guitar/guitar tone ever
That sound!!
Good audio quality
LOOSE CHANGED MAKES ME DO THE FART FACE
Legendary Set.. So good
So dirty...so nasty. Never stop.
So amazing! Royal Blood rules!
They're so damn tight
Great job.
How did they contain themselves??? Raw af
Why in the description is the category "cars & vehicles"?
literally "garage" band haha
I miss Ben's walnut and pearl Gretsch :(
Conall S
rip hi hat 9:47
braziilll !!!
Love the color on Ben's kit. Is that a Gretch? Just got a C&C that's similar
Yup. That's a Gretsch Renown Maple.
how can u sit...really
Sounds like someone threw some sludge into the record. I love it.
Timming on video is out....or they are playing slow
Joder q buenos. Todo temazos.
Why are they playing all the songs slow??
Road Glider sometimes when bands gets tired they play slower so it easier to keep in time over long sets but tbh they’re probably playing slower bc why the fuck not?
the bass riffs combined with the vocals are hard for Mike to keep up with live, there's a lot of technical stuff going on with both the bass techniques and all the pedals, but hey, this is a 2 year old comment 😂
The power of loose change jaja
se imaginan haber estado ahí en ese momento? 🥵
Does this crowd even know what greatness they are watching right now? The girl in the front row on her phone makes me sick. Hey, I'll take your front row ticket next time.
Ryan Procop come down she's just filming
I am talking about the woman on the left side but dully noted.
Ryan Procop LOL, I was thinking the same thing. It's like they paid them to look bored.
Proper gold this!
them people wanted to get out their seats soo bad lol
Mitici !!!!!
They look really strung out here.
CFOXVideos Do you guys/gals have a copy of the setlist from this performance you could give away to me? Thanks! :D
Categoria automovilismo😂😂😂 grande Royal Blood
HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY STTING DOWN???
Great fucking sound
Gila dah ni band ngaco bat kerennya
Sounds killer
That second bass really improves sound a lot, makes you wonder why does he use the first one at all.
The basses are in different tuning on each song so he has to switch
Is he really playing this through a 4 string bass or is there a backing track? Either way it's awesome and I have a new band to get way in to.
It's all his bass. His pedal board splits the bass' signal into various octaves and plays them through all the different amps you see behind him. On top of that, he also switches certain signals off with his feet while he's playing. It's pretty awesome.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a backing track tbh. I think most radio show performances are done like this to prevent technical difficulties.

fucking amazing
I feel bad for those poor people on the back row, I imagine they had no hearing after this
when gods play.....
who tf mixed these drums!
What the fuck is the audience doing?!
No Fucking way these people are just sitting there! WtF
Get a good agent, break into the US market.... sorted ! 'nough said O_o
5:22
trolling for hipsters LOL.....sounds awesome as usual.
🎉💋❤️🍀💜
O ya
Shit.. Sounded better than the album..
О да!!!!!
Poor Tech/roadie/friend he has heard these songs a thousand times..
***** That's Rock 'n' Roll... ;)
Even if the gigs take only half an hour, RB are constantly playing there asses of since 2013. These few songs have so much substance and power! They have the potential to be still terrific in 25 years. I'm looking forward for additional gigs and records!
Don Kiel Are you the Roadie friend :) I mentioned about the poor roadie/tech only because he looked like he just didnt want to be there :) BUT what a great job that is and one that I would love. :)
Excellent band. Incredible sound. Most boring audience.
Why the f@ck is everyone sitting down?!?!?

The crowd sucks….i would have been head banging in that MF’ER….greatest two piece band in history….maybe greatest under 3piece band in history
Superb music. Dead crowd....
Speed at 1.25x

They are like Muse when Muse used to be good
Bits of this sound very much like early Nirvana, just more polished
Shite
