In November at Nashville’s Exit/In, PG’s Chris Kies got to hang with Mutoid Man’s riffmaster general to see how he tours with one Flying V, an old rambunctious head, and a solid pedal setup.
Stephen Brodsky likes to keep it classic and simple. He tours with one guitar: a 1985 Aria Pro II Michael Schenker XX-MS Signature V. His bandmate, bassist Nick Cageao, had already went the Aria route by landing an Explorer-ish Pro II ZZB Custom 4-string so he thought it’d be cool if both Mutoid men would rock Arias. He sent the guitarist a Reverb listing and Brodsky got the axe. Everything about it is stock. Brodksy typically tunes down to Bb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb and uses D’Addario NYXL Top Heavy .010-.052 strings.

It’s kinda weird hearing Stephen speak in a normal volume and not scream into a mic every time he says something lol
It is but it's oddly soothing
Two Minutes To Late Night Baby!!!!!
@@Wis3Ending I’M THE LOUDEST
Stephen Brodsky is one of the most underrated musicians of the past 18 years. Dude is a genius.
Ha! Yea, right ....... you're easily impressed
Definitely. He's been innovator in the hardcore world for years. All the pop bands of the Thrice genre look up to him
Absolutely. Amazing body of work.
🍆💦🤤
I’m so inspired by him dude specially cause he’s not rocking expensive shit (relatively expensive lol) he just bought shit that looked cool that he could afford and learned to make it sound good.
"nice hairy bush from a penthouse issue in the '70s" - best pedal description ever
I've always dug Stephen's guitar style. A nice mix of punk, hardcore, extreme metal, progressive rock and classic rock. What's not to like?
Underrated guitar player. People need to listen more Cave In and Mutoid Man!
Definitely and those dunable are sick to bad they are like over 2grand ahh
Absolutely! Loved going through the Cave In transitions over the years.
Anyone else here from Two Minutes to Late Night?
I keep wanting Steve to go into his Two Minutes shouting voice
Yeah. I just found out Mutoid was the best band I had never heard of.
yes
Me!
Pretty much...
Coolest Rig Rundown yet. Stephen is such a creative guitar player, cool to finally see a more in depth interview with him.
cave in is one of my favorite bands of all time and brodsky is one of my favorite players. dude is wild to watch on stage.
Cave In was my favorite band ever in high school
HARwinsOUTagain they still make things hard in my pants.
Yeah me to sissy
Did "until your heart stops" change your life!!?
;)
Cave In- Jupiter is a legendary album. Mutoid Man rules...but Cave In was so ahead of their time it isn't even funny. Huge influence on my playing.
I'm surprised no one yelled "Play Juggernaut!" from somewhere off-screen. Brodsky is still my favorite guitar player. I'd love to have seen a rig rundown of his from 2000-2002 or so, when Cave In was at the height of their space-experimental phase. They'd probably have to include their crazy-ass toy store laser guns in that video.
I also seem to remember a big, green Line 6 unit for a time, at least on Brodsky's pedal board. As far as Caleb's stuff... the only thing that stood out to me was the Boss Bass Synth pedal that he used to use on "Big Riff" and "Decay of the Delay". Although I think he stopped busting it out live at some point.
I rembember Brodsky's black Guild... I think he had some sort of Gretsch for a little while before Antenna, I remember seeing that live around then. Caleb used to play a Grabber before switching to a P-Bass (I always wondered why... the Grabber is so awesome), and Adam played the brown "The SG" pretty much every time I saw them play, but I want to say I remember him playing some sort of triple-pickup LP.
Brodsky is Super talented and humble guy. Love how he is in this.
Just a nerdy gearhead observation...but Chris is the best interviewer that PG has IMO. I especially love seeing Rig Rundowns that he hosts. This was incredible! It also turned me on to a band I haven't heard of! Thanks Chris and Mutoid Man!
Have to agree! Perry is great but i do feel a little cringey watching him sometimes. Anyway i love the RR videos, keep it up!
Chris is the best thing since... Rebecca Dirks?
Yeah I feel he is the most skilled "interviewer" but John is my fav
Check out his other band Cave In. What a wild discography and a strange trip!
Brodsky is pure Genius.. An inspiration for all modern rock musicians
I just discovered Mutoid Man and his guitar playing. What the F have I been missing?! This dude is incredible.
That Model T sounded great!
They tend to do that
Late to the party on this one, but that was a lot of fun. Brodsky is super creative, and I love that he's wearing a Lazer/Wulf shirt as they are great and super creative dudes as well.
Great to see him keeping busy after Blue's Clues
You're a great interviewer man :) a genuine fan of his music and asks all the questions we want to hear
Finally somebody who's signature sound is what he buys, not what is given to him. Too many guitarists are playing equipment that is supplied by sponsors. Great rundown.
Yeah I totally agree. alot of spoiled players out there but as long as there greatful. but I agree you fuckhead bitch
Yes yes yes. Love rig run downs and i love mutiod man.
Thank you stephen brodsky.. this maybe the best episode so far.
One of those super fun and entertaining chapters of these series ! And Ive always loved Cave in !!
Love the Rundowns where you get a person that loves to talk about gear! Awesome!
The Sunn + Os 2 sounds great. I know nothing about his band but I like this guy, and he mentioned Failure.
This is a great interview. Dude just loves to play.
Greatest rig rundown ever! Brodsky is a beast!
One of the best rundowns... Brodsky is such an amazing guy. And great player. Much love
Great rundown. Chris asks such insightful questions, and Steve seems like such a nice, accommodating guy. Always loved Brodsky's sound in Cave In, Mutoid, and anything else he's done.
One of the best RR ever! The guy is a real nerd, I really love the tone and sounds from his amp and pedals.
Killer rig rundown!
I just love his sound. Brutal and raw but so musical.
I have a new favourite band. Thanks!
Awesome rig rundown!
One of the most entertaining Rig Rundowns I have seen. Not the usually comatose interviewee. Kept me interested throughout.
Boston legend.
Really good rig rundown***** Steven was very generous with info and demo's. thank you Chris & Steven ... Very Good!
The tones were amazing. Also a sick interview.
It's awesome he is doing demos... I stopped watching a lot of these rundowns because they talked about cool gear and how good it sounded without ever showing it. I hope demos become more common so I can see some more of these!
We ask every time, but sometimes venues have volume/sound/union restrictions and other times artists just don't feel like it. Trust us, we try! Thanks for watching.
Premier Guitar awesome. I'll keep checking them out!
The best rig rundown ever.
I've been watching PG for a long time and since you had Steven on I hit subscribe. Cave In- Seafrost is one of my top 3 favorite songs ever written. Thank you
Brodsky is such a dork in the best way. His random knowledge of gear and effects always makes me smile because i’m the exact same way.
To be truthful, I knew nothing about this guy or his band when I clicked on this. Now, I'm gonna check out everything he does. Really creative dude!
Shannon Sharp two minutes to midnight is the best
Most underrated album of the 00s.
@Sam first CD I ever bought. Still pop Jupiter on once in a while
Nice! Cave In is one of my alltime favs so I’m def a fan of this band
Not my sound, but heck! Such a honest humble insight through a journey! Deep respect.
Just saw these guys Saturday night and WOW! Most definitely got my face melted. Killer show! Killer players! Killer tones! Killer songs! What more could you ask for?
Brodsky is awesome. I love that he cannot help but raise his pick to the goblet of rock even with an audience of one!
Awesome to see this Rig Rundown! Such an underrated band! Great Interview!
Love everything this dude does
One of my favorite pickers since Beyond Hypothermia dropped in ‘97. First time seeing his setup since it was just a couple pedals on the floor. This rules. Great interview! Thanks for this.
Awesome this guy is, a lot of raw talent and energy. Great he recognizes Failure for some inspiration.
Failure, Cave In, MM, and many others so criminally underrated :-(
This dude is cool as hell. Mutoid Man is amazing. I love cheap gear and pedals. All of my Boss pedals are reliable, don't break and never steal signal. Right on man.
Man, that OS2 into the Model T sounds unbelievable - only rig rundown I’ve watched more than once, and I’ve probably watched it 15 times because I love the sound so much lol
This is the second band I’ve found from rig rundowns that became 2 of my favorite bands. Mutoid Man and Pelican
Never heard of this guy but he's cool as hell ....
Listen to Mutoid Man and Cave In!
Damn you Stephen Brodsky!!!! I picked up a ps-5 just to play around with because of this video. Now I need to find at least one more to add to my setup.
never heard of these fellas before, but defnately piqued my interest!
Chris Kies forgets his own name, its that good an interview. Brilliant! Two great guys and a Sunn amp!!
I have played Aria Pro ii SB-650 AND SB-700 Basses for decades.
Great instruments made very HIGH quality
oh shit, i had a song called "narcoleptic dog" in my first band when i was a little little kid. that's a crazy coincidence.
11🦋11
Love this. I've never heard of this band before but he presents himself so well in going to buy an album. So much better to see someone who's into pedals, amps and guitars rather than a guy hocking his signature model plugged into axe fx.
Brodsky is an amazing human being!!!
It's great seeing these old Aria Pro II guitars getting the love they deserve. Too many gear and rig rundowns are tedious sales pitches for new products, when guitars like these are no longer available outside of the second-hand market yet a good example can be something else. Matsumoku-era Aria Pro II basses and guitars are very much classics!
One the most interesting rig rundowns, thanks!
Cave In! Legend
This guy seems like a really cool dude
That guitar is sick!
That Digitech Synth Wah sound makes me smile EVERY GODAMN TIME
One of the most inspiring rig rundowns ever. I love everything Steve put his hands on.
I know his band covered Magnified, but hearing him mention Failure makes me really happy
Awesome! Jim Mauradian from Mauradian Guitars who passed away worked on one of my guitars. He was awesome and an absolutely amazing luthier. Jim actually made Nuno's original guitar. Told me it was a Strat body he modified. He also made a few basses for Chris Squire of Yes.
"This is Khis Cries with another Rig Rundown!" Tongue tied, sound like me! Lol great job tho man for real.
Shout out to Daddy's Junk Music! I use to work at the West Springfield MA store before the company went under.
I miss that store. Used to hang out at the Salem, NH store all the time. Made some good friends there who worked there.
@@johndashuta7826 it was awesome!!! It was great to because you could get gear in from store to store without worrying about buying it or paying for shipping
love the Aria XX V, have a deep hankering for a ZZ Explorer at the moment.
What a totally rad seeming dude!!
"Standard tuning, half a step down, and then like a drop b. So like drop a#" Okay, got it! Standard
Nick Haakman
it sounds complicated but it’s literally jus standard tuning with the low strung dropped to b flat/a sharp.
Matthew Flowers I got what he got but just thought it was funny how he explained it
@@matthewflowers1759 Not quite, the whole tuning is a half-step down. Then you drop the Eb down to a Bb.
its just drop a sharp, e flat with the low a#
SNL or someone should do a skit like this with the artist coming up with hilarious song names during the interview lol.
The rig rundown featuring Satchel from Steel Panther is pretty amusing. Funnier than any SNL these days anyway
Wish you would have covered Nick Cageao's rig as well, but still fantastic!
Nick wasn't on tour with the band because he suffered an injury.
Stoven Bredsky is the man!! A true talent
Daddy's Junky shoutout, hell yeah
That is a Lazer Wulf t shirt! Somehow I know who they are but didn’t know Mutoid Man.
Great video.
Lovely.
Yo buzzo hasn’t played a model t in forever. He’s a solid state dude.
Interviewer wearing the dinosaur Jr shirt👍 also I think I heard J Mascis tell a story about buying his first guitar from the same place Stephen was talking about getting the les Paul.
Shady Bob’s or something? Slimy Bob’s?
Its like a nice hairy bush from a pent house issue lol😂😂😂
He is super nice
"You record with Kurt Ballou from converge a lot" he shoulda been like "motherfucker i was in Converge! Im on Jane Doe!"
holy shit I need that digitech pedal. It sounds awesome, and after looking it up its pretty cheap too since its discontinued and apparently not terribly popular.
this was a cool video. i heard about mutoid man when i discovered 2M2LN and i gotta say mutoid man has a nice sound. now i have to check out cave-in.
Each cave in album is very different, give them all a chance! There's one i don't like but a lot of people love it...have fun.
BRODSKY MEATBALLS RE-ASSEMBLE!!!!11!!1!!1!!!!
Do a rig rundown on Great Grandpa next time they're on tour.
Never heard of this band, and I also wasn't aware that Anthony Kiedis played lead guitar.
32:00 you can hear the score from Killer Klowns in outer space.
Imagine finding a Model T for 600 bucks these days.
Alex Hunter exactly...imagine....in your imagination. Hell I was lucky to find a Beta for 400
nice, now i can figure out that Bridgeburner riff
Or "Kiss of Death" - ua-cam.com/video/knMUTBVpUag/v-deo.html
well....if you insist!
Aria's rule!!!
Yeah buddy!
I would have liked the interviewer to have asked which fx where going into the front of the amp,and if any where in the fx loop.
I wonder how much of this rig for Mutoid Man is the same for Cave in....... 🤔🤔🤔
Loved Cave In growing up. Why does he have tape over the names of all the pedals? Is there a technical reason or is it so kids at the front of the stage can’t figure out the pedals?
OtherJesus Maybe so he can see them better under the stage lights.
