All of those guitar techs, after showing all the rig, always say: "Yeah, that is pretty much it".
Someone smarter than us needs to make a supercut of all those
Its sad that you all are giving Ryan so much shit for using EMGs. He knows what he likes and thats what he uses. Nickelback arent a blues or classic rock band where passive pickups might be better suited. theyre a heavier hard rock band with a very high gain distortion sound and the EMGs handle that very well.
Nickelback may not be what they once were (Silver Side Up), and you can say what you want, but Ryan and Chad are actually really decent guitar players. That "War Machine" Flying V of Ryan's looks sick! I've always liked Nickelback's heavy guitar tone.
Not every band sells over 50 million records............love nickelback
Same
Right. Most hated band sells over 50 millions (shame on you haters). You can hate me as much as you want if I sells over 50millions. 😅😅😅
To this date, i dont understand why nickelback gets so much hate?
Ketan same reason creed does
It's soulless and irritating and the songs get stuck in your head, I'll give them credit that their songs are catchy enough to get stuck in your head, but so is the baby shark song.
Because they write generic lame songs and they know it
@@davidwile1277 if its so generic and easily done, why dont you do it and make yourself a few million
@@brandonooten5402 I'm already financially set for life no need..
i love nickleback, not many bands bounce between so many different tunings! So talented
May I introduce you to Bring Me The Horizon?
Lotta shit being talked here. I hope nickelback doesn't get discouraged by 13 year olds with line 6 spiders as their rig. Listen to edge of a revolution's production them come back and talk shit. Even if you don't like their songs you can appreciate something. Jesus Christ the hate this band gets is insane. And by the way they have randy staub mix their albums. (Did the black album which has some of the best tones ever recorded.). Good day haters.
+Larry Markel Yeah, but god damn their guitars are ugly.
Even when they're bored haters will look up Nickelback, that's HOW GOOD THEY ARE :)
Y’all laugh at their music, they laugh at your bank account
i like Chad's gear & rig! i especially like his Les Pauls and the 2 PRS Guitars! the black Les Paul Custom is one of my dream Guitars!
Funny how people who say Nickelback suck in the comments section don't see the irony in the fact that they willingly clicked on a video talking about Nickelback's rig. If they suck, then why the hell do you care what stuff they use in their live rig? I'm not a fan of theirs either, but I like learning about gear, which is why I'm here. What's your excuse?
+mcg413 What's your interest in why anyone does anything? There are some pretty knarley Gibson's in this video ...my heart goes out to anyone who's brave enough to play these museum pieces...!!!
Thats not what irony is
I don't know what every ones problem is. I love nickelback. And I really couldn't care less who likes them or dislikes them. I like them because i like the music and have respect for them. They are cool dudes, and despite the fact that people call them "sellouts" they have stayed true to their sound since the beginning, which makes them the complete opposite of sellouts if you ask me. Also, they are probably the best live band out nowadays.
dude, it's awesome. It's a blend of vintage and modern.
I don’t care what the band’s name is, those are some cool guitars. Love rig rundown
I don't understand why this video has so much dislikes. And there are a lot of people hating Nickelback. Just go and listen to your stupid metal with 2 chords and high speed playing. And remember! Don't forget your lipstick and don't was your hair. Be true
I honestly don't even think that people really hate them as much as they say because their concerts still sell really well. I think hating Nickelback is more of an internet meme than a legitimate thing.
it has so much dislikes cos the video is clickbait, there is no ryan or chad, just fuckboy techie kris
One of the heaviest tones I’ve ever heard
I think that the hate that Nickelback gets is mostly because of how douchey Chad is, but that rig is really nice, and the 3rd explorer shown looks really nice. I like some nickelback songs, but I totally get why most metal heads (I'm one too) don't like them.
yea, i totally agree. my first album ever was all the right reasons, but i'm not too big of a fan of their new stuff
Juan José Fonseca Godoy explain me why metal heads hate them
Lance Rambert
Here we have one of those "special" ones.
Lance Rambert
You do know, that only Muricans have only 1 first name, and 1 last name. Right?
Ya, pero dilo en español sipo, eso de douchy es puro andar repitiendo weas que dicen estos gringos, si Chad Kroeger nunca a denotado ser soberbio, y cuando se pelio con Corey Taylor tampoco dijo nada que no fuese cierto, si este último le gusta tirar mierda cuando puede, además Corey Taylor el mismo confirmo que le tiró beef a Nickelback porque ellos eran más relevantes en Roadrunner Récords que Slipknot. Chad es un tipo que tiene carácter no mas acordé a su rol como rockstar, a los débiles no mas les intimida esa actitud, en lo personal no le veo nada de malo que alguien se crea el cuento, y tampoco creo ni tengo evidencia que Chad haya mirado en menos a alguien solo porque es quien es.
I really dig that green Tele that Ryan has
The black PRS is the one he plays for Gotta Be Somebody and is also used as a back up for the les Paul silverburst
Such awesome gear and guitars. Love the playback track for My Darkest Days in the background haha.
I don't really get the appeal of having guitars that look like they were chewed on by a hippo for a few hours
Anchovy Run amen
19:48 You gotta be kidding me.
Awesome! Been trying to nail they're tone for weeks!
Awesome! Really amazing guitars.
An 80 on the low string? Jesus Christ. I used to use a 72-13 baritone set on my Les Paul for tuning to A# and those were already like playing RF cables. I can't quite imagine playing a guitar with 80's.
Playing a guitar with 80's involves a lot of hairspray, make up and glitter. Or torn jeans and leather if you're a thrasher.
*****
No, no, playing a guitar WITH 80's, not "in the 80's"
:D
I know, it was a joke, haha
*****
Arg, I was playing along. Ah well.
I use a 74 for a Low F# on my 8 string.... sometimes down to a low E...jesus
Next step Nickelback is going to take is putting EMG's in a jazz box!!!Hahahahaha
I was hoping you guys can do another Nickelback rig rundown
As an Explorer fan I really love that first one they pull out after the hideous V, the rugged ass beat to shit look actually looked REAL good on it.
Yes I agree with you. I've seen them in the club days, Give Chad an acoustic guitar and 15 mins in the can and he comes up with hooks and riffs and a complete song. He can shred with the best of them and his a true singer -songwriter and producer.. These shit fuck haters were started by a few shit heads.. yet can't validate one reason why they hate them..They put on amazing live shows period and are pretty humble canadian lads who know where they come from!
3:53 this is played for maybe 4, 5, 6 songs, depending on how the show goes. HA
As in... when the crowd starts chucking shit at the stage.
@@cjkoegl all the concerts i see live have naked women chucking themselves at the stage dumbass
I love rig rundowns so much I can even enjoy nicklebacks! haha
we need an updated version
That Axe Fx could replace 90% of that rig
scratching up the wood like that looks like shit..
well i've got some good news for you. you don't have to do it to your guitars if you don't want to.
And the gear is really amazing :)
i see why people would hate on em. they have good songs that get people singing along and do have some unique sounding riffs. ill also add as a gear nerd their rigs are reasonable for their touring and changes in song styles and tunings.
the guy wants variety and puts EMGs in all his guitars...I'm lost...
It would be better, if they did not have any of these guitars :) there would be no nickleback :)
A person can watch this without being a nickelback fan. Seeing the rig and the gear can give a person ideas for their own setup.
Why all these DISLIKEs for this video. It is a very good rig rundown video. Quality is good, questions are good. Overall it is a good production. Whether someone likes Nickelback, their guitarist or their rig is different question.
That being said. Anyone who torches guitars should be torched and...Man that rack setup made me dizzy....
for once there's dislikes for good reason , COS THIS IS MORE CLICKBAIT, IT'S NOT A RIG RUNDOWN OF CHAD KROEGER AND RYAN PEAKE FROM NICKELBACK, IT'S A RIG RUNDOWN OF KRIS DAWSON FROM QUARTERBACK
DISLIKE
Well said
I don’t get it
Yeah i dont get it either?
They talk about specific nickleback songs?
Any band that has a guy who uses V's and Explorers has my vote...also I really do feel this video made me realize that people who can't shut up about how bad they think Nickelback are more annoying and a waste of time than they claim the band is .
Dude. Think of a band or genre of music that you can’t believe people actually like. Go for it. We all have one. Okay, got one? That’s Nickelback for millions of people. Just because they sell records doesn’t make them talented. It makes the listeners less intelligent.
@@Jesse_Johnson What a way to miss literally all of the points I was making. Dude you ever hear people that won't shut up ever because they think they're more clever than everyone else regardless of the contrary....that's Nickelback haters. Hating something doesn't make you clever just makes you obnoxious
@@noizewriter3324 Awe, you took time to respond to an annoying waste of time. 🍎
Nickelback is soo amazing. Had this not been about Nickelback's guitars, I wouldn't have been able to sit through a second of it. XD
really nice selection... love the gibson j-200 ....
Me: "You know what? I'll watch it and try to be fair. It's just their gear, not their music."
Guitar tech: Pulls out the tackiest monstrosity of an instrument I've ever seen and we're not even a minute in.
Me: "lol nevermind"
Imagine being that narrow minded..
I'm just here to read - and agree with - all the comments hating on nickelback.
(insert photo of Michael Jackson eating popcorn)
Wow, what a rig!
A pet peeve of mine is watching a rig rundown where they aren't specific about tunings. He kind of did but I wanna know all the tunings!
Some of those guitars look like turds with strings on them.
Don't talk about your daddy like that
@@fendertremolo9793 I was referring to your mom.
It's 2014 and nickelback still suck.
you jerk ;)
It does, the truss rod cover would say "Tremonti" on it and the bridge pickup would be uncovered if it were a Tremonti... Therefore it is a Singlecut.
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that this is the setup for a metal band.
Imagine being a Nickelback fan, lol
being a fan doesn't mean jack shit
Imagine watching a video about nickelback set up when you don’t like them
PG should revisit this 😁
EMGs are hot active pickups, usually played with a lot of gain, Hot pickups and a lot of gain basically makes everything sound the same.
About the 59's... the pickups where handwound and some of them differ substantially in output, hence they all sound different. Somefolks will tell you that it has everything to do with the woods being used, but for me, I think it's much more likely that variable pickup output and tone pot resistance is causing the differences
So, what I have learned is that even though the licks don't change the words and the tunings for each song do change. Meanwhile the effects are there but never used.
Wow. Just, wow.
I completely agree with you.
simple ftw, i only have an epihpone les paul and fender strat straight to my fender frontman 65r. i really enjoy the sound!
Need an Update on their Rigs!!!
these flying v's and explorer would perfectly fit metalica lookwise and soundwise, i'm sure
thats SO much stuff
Honestly, that sound is pretty freaking heavy!
You guys may or may not like Nickelback but those guitars are so cool !!
you got it!
Check out Jim Root's tele, it's really a great guitar and he uses EMGs. Duff McKagan, while playing guitar in his band Loaded has one of those Jim Root teles but he replaced the EMGs with regular black humbuckers, and it looks and sounds awesome.
Not all Tremonti's have trems. If you watch Mark live, you'll see him use both his signature guitars with tremolo's and some with no tremolo's. I was watching an interview with Mark, and he says that he uses both versions of his guitar equally as much. And the Tremonti and Singlecut have different cut neck and different body weights.
Stupid question here, but how does it work with the wah pedal back stage like that? Does the tech just turn it on and leave it at a certain position?
i don't get why people hate on nickelback. they bring heavy rock to a large public, in my opinion that's a nice thing to do. just like john mayer did with blues.
I love Ryans distressed guitars. Thinking about doing a distressing job on my explorer. Wish he would bring back his '98 Natural V's
You got it, completely right.
No, they're set neck. You are right in saying you can't buy body blanks. I think what the tech meant was the guitar body with the neck already set in, just without hardware. However, I still think it is inexcusable to destroy such beautiful guitars like that.
The Nickleback guys are actually pretty cool. I respect them for how they deal with the hate by laughing it off. Granted they're music is OK, they're not as douchey as people make em' to be.
Hm, i like what you're saying here. Which songs do you feel show off their sound experimentation best?
..and so is the music that comes out of said guitars! ;)
Well you have to remember, they've tour for years with those guitars, plus some people really like the beat up look.
Singlecut. Tremonti's all have tremolos. That is actually the main difference (other than the pickups) between Tremonti's and regular Singlecuts.
I’m seeing them tonight
Whether or not you're a fan of Nickelback, that flying V at the beginning is awesome.
No, that metal thing V it's horrible.
...And this is the guitar Chad plays for when he's not playing. Its got a really nice silent sound...
that's not what i meant, bro, The dirty channel of the whole set up, is going through the pedals to the Mesa amps. The clean channel is going through the Axe fx to the Fender amp. Try using one Axe fx through two different amps, mr haha.
Same here, brother
Holy shit there rig sounds complicated as hell man props to there guitar tech for getting that read for every tour
thank you for representing, and i second this apology
80, 66, 60, 38, 28, 18, 14
jesus christ, nickelback about to drop the heaviest hardcore album
Success breeds jealousy and bitterness..... any band that can sell 50 million albums in 10 years in this download generation is doing something right. It just proves that song writing and connecting with your audience through lyrics is way more important than actual technical skill. Deny it all you want, any kid that grew up wanting to be a rock star would join that band in a second. They r one of the biggest bands in the world and will go down as one of the best bands of this generation.
does anybody know their string gauges for the different tunings other than the 7 strings?
I wasn't expecting those PRS's thrown in there. I have to say, PRS is my favorite guitar company. What was that last PRS? Was it a singlecut or a Tremonti signature?
single cut
I'm not a big fan of EMGs, but the single coils in my Luke sound pretty damn good.
They do look funky in a Jag, though.
EXACTLY.
both of them
Yeah I understand where you are coming from. I don't use EMGs at all but I have played a tele and a strat with EMG humbuckers and it has a unique tone quality to it but its all just opinion
What song was being played near the ending.
Thank you for Martin Short!
They didn't show all of Chad's guitars!! They missed his black J-200 and there was another whole rack of guitars that they clearly just edited out! Extended version please PG!!!
What's ECG, bro?
I just got a used Godin sP90 for 275 at Guitar Center. Thing slays. Godin is good stuff. You should check 'em out. :)
personally i wish they would spend as much time on their songs as they do on their WAY COOL guitar finishes
Oh right.Traveling is so much cheaper and easier when packing light with interchangeable parts.Complicated parts are cool but create definite limitations when traveling the world to places most bands can't afford to visit.Hasn't Nickelback always said they were a touring party band,not a complex recording group,tho they definitely could be if they wanted to I'm sure.They have a signature sound that defines them that millions of fans like quite nicely and identify with.Maintain doesn't mean lazy.
what are the digi 002s being used for then?
Slayer uses EMG's, Cannibal Corpse uses EMG's, Dying Fetus uses EMG's, Black Label Society uses EMG's, Exodus uses EMG's, and a lot of other metal artists.
