Pedals and Effects Welcomes: Spencer Seim of Hella
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- A long time ago, in what seems like another lifetime, I was fortunate to have met and toured a few weeks with Spencer Seim who was the guitarist and co-founder of the legendary Sacramento band, Hella. Spencer and the ripping Zach Hill on drums were one of the fiercest guitar/drum duos ever created. The duo had just turned their band from a two piece into a four piece and were opening a tour I was a part of, that was headlined by System Of A Down and Mars Volta.

You obviously need to get Brian Gibson of Lightning Bolt on the show now.
YES
I think he just uses a bunch of dl4s 2 boss super overdrive and a whammy
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!
@@totalignoranceinc he also uses some kind of octave pedal

Spencer is one of the most Unsung guitar players of all time. This was long overdue.
Fuckin amen
Fanboy Nick seems to know more about Hella than Spencer. haha
Probably got a lot of info from Zach too
Never clicked so fast in my fucking life. Seriously underrated guitar player.
@Cesar Mohammad nah dude
@Cesar Mohammad Are you following me, I just saw this exact comment under a Mike Patton interview
He pulled out. There was a victory here
Nick nerds out on Spencer the exact same way I nerd out on Nick, amazing.
Jose Rico thought about posting the exact same comment
Some rock n roll history right here
I have talked to Nick after Tera Melos show, I was kinda losing my mind
Please please please please get Carson McWhirter on here
metztlitochtli yeah!
YESSSS
The way Spencer wrote down his tunings perfectly demonstrates how differently this man’s brain works
I wish this video existed 10 years ago
Listening from a weird neighbourhood in Australia.
NO.TEETH.MOTIF All of Australia is a weird neighbourhood
I’m listenig to these guys from a weird neighborhood in Japan m8
same
@@TheZooropaBaby all of Japan is an even weirder neighbourhood

Hella rules. Saw them do a half two piece/half four piece set opening for Claypool when I was maybe 16 and it blew my mind. Great interview.
saw that tour in philly but their philly show 2+ years b4 that was electric. also saw zach hill with members of sun ra on a hella tour where spencer left 2 days b4 for family issues and zach never cancelled the tour. was kinda bumbed but looking back, ive got too see them as a duo...
I am legit watching this from some weird suburb in Australia
Start a band with me
Hahahaha me too
Anyone in Adelaide?
Get zach too
too busy making records with the shrek guy now
And mouth glass guy
Death Grips Pedals and Effects 2018 EP confirmed
But it would be amazing if Juan could play some intricate and technical bass lines. I know Nick already worked with DG
PLEASE, I WOULD BUY THAT EPISODE IF I REALLY HAD TO
This is an awesome reflection on a special time in underground rock. Saw Hella at the Che cafe in 2001 when I was playing keyboard for Upsilon Acrux, who also played that show. Just like Nick, this show was pivotal for me and my musical path. To this day, Hella are real OG’s and undeniable masters of this style of brutal prog/experimental rock. I have never gotten tired of them, and this music is pretty timeless. Can’t wait for the re-issue of HYHI.
I was at that show in 2001!
In hangtown?
Seeing the “666” five-piece lineup in Austin back in 2007 was one of the best experiences of my life.
Austin was cool back then
Cool American Guitar Men In Hats
RELEASE THE PORTALS SOUNDBOARD SET!!!!
As someone who grew up seeing these guys play small venues over Nor Cal, these guys inspired a ton of musicians in the greater nothern california area and beyond.
my two most influential guitar players
Hey guys, can somebody help me out? I couldn't get this from just watching the video, but do you know whether Nick likes Spencer or not?
Nick is the ideal person to interview spencer. This was awesome
I love this. Juan, bassist of my favorite band in high school, behind the camera shooting the shit with the guitar player of my favorite band post high school, hella, interviewed by nick who I admittedly don’t know as much about but that bygones record is killer.
i would love to hear that Portals soundboard recording of the 4-piece hella.
I get why nick is freaking out about spencer but god damn he has legendary bassist Juan right behind the camera hahaha and Juan toured arenas and played bass with fucking Omar Rodriguez Lopez for years.
I feel pretty stoked and thankful to have been a fan of these guys since we were all around 16. I was a huge Legs on Earth fan and tried to go to every show. Hella blew my mind as well. Super talented guys, super nice guys. Good memories!
It is a honor to be a friend of spencer
I met Nick and played a show with him but never Spencer :/
Loved this, I'm a huge The Advantage and Hella fan. I can't wait to hear what he is creating nowadays.
This video is amazing. Thank you guys for this. Lots of awesome background info and it’s fun being able to nerd out and hear people discuss Hella in such detail.
I am thankful for Pedals And Effects for two reasons. One, this channel is responsible for getting me to pick up my bass again after 3 years of not playing. Two, I am learning about this whole new universe of bands and artists who I never knew existed before I started watching these videos. This is priceless info and I am super blessed by all of it. Thank you guys so much.
100% would love to see him back for the gear talk mentioned at the end.
Two guitar gods! Thanks for carrying the torch Nick.
This guy rocks! Glad to see him here. Hella, Amaranth/Solos are amazing!
What is Carson McWhirter doing nowadays?
They should invite him to the show, he is amazing.
He plays bass in Modern Man: modernman916.bandcamp.com/releases
I am so glad somebody asked this.
Where the hell is that guy? That one video with Zach Hill was dope.
I was not disappointed when I googled that. That dude is still shredding hard. Thanks for the tip.
didn't he do MELT w/ brian chippendale *lightning bolt/black pus" like 2/3 years ago?
Saw Hella with Volta in Portland back in the day. I still talk about John Theodore’s performance to this day, that guy is an AMAZING drummer.
What a line up
"Weird neighbourhood in Australia" i tripped the fuck out when he said as i sit in a weird neighbourhood in Australia.
OH maaan, I'm so excited for the day new Spencer tunes are released.
Damn this video makes me so insanely happy
I really appreciate this video. Hella shaped how I thought about music and it's great to hear some insight from Spencer Seim. Thanks y'all!
one of the greats
Drill n Bass is pretty dope and inspiring.
Ive stumbled upon the magical region of youtube. Hella were one of my spiritual guides as a youngen. Got to see em in 05 I think during the Chirpin Hard/Church Gone Wild era. Loved that Sbach album too.
Currently watching this video from some weird neighbourhood in Australia 👌
Im a 2 years younger than Nick, but got into Hella at the same time, and as a guitar player Spencer totally fucked my shit up. Nick your asking all the right questions, Id be gushing too.
OOOOOOOHHH THIS IS SOO LOVELY!!!! IM SOO STOKED THIS IS ONLINE!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
LOVE FROM NEW ZEALAND
it's cool how down to earth spencer is, considering he seems like he just got out of a mental institution in hella/sBACH
Nick and Spencer in the seem Place . I wish be there ❤️😭
YES! Awesome!
Thank you for make this video sir❤
Stoked Spencer is making music; look forward to hearing it. Nick shoulda asked if another hella record is a posssibility
Advantage forever
I grew up in Roseville too, Nick!
sooooo is there gonna be a second video? this was all chit chat and no equipment talk at all.... and no crazy expression pedal!
im dying to know what the crazy expression pedal does.
I think it might be a breakout box for his crazy guitar?

"Donor Dunlop Bass Wah Shell turned into custom breakout box"
russell clavelo Spencer isn't really know for his equipment, I'm more than satisfied to see him come out and do something like this after so long.
Nick, let the man talk!
Came here to say this. Dude talks like 70% of the interview.
I thought that double hella record was rad when it came out. Spencer's disc is super stand out. haven't listened to Zach's half in awhile but I remember it's not an easy listen.
Yes I love hella !
OMFG, hella AND lightning bolt, 1st show too? WHAT!
ive been previlged 2 see hella 3 times, 1nce as a 2 piece, a full band (w/ les claypol & some project?) and the 3rd was just zach playing with members of sun ra as spencer had family issues on tour in 04/05? all philly shows soo twice with hella technically.
AND
saw lightning bolt 3 times, twice in 05 as they played philly twice & the next year in philly.
theyve both been 2 of my favorites since 03...
dream collabs are spencer & brian chippendale & brian gibson & zach...
What the hell is "Portals" ?? Nick mentioned it a few times. Sounded like a tour video maybe?
a tour doc from a couple shows they played with TMV and SOAD in 2005. it's about 40 mins, on youtube and v fun to watch
Fucking great watch, very highly recommended.
awesome! will there be a part 2 with that insane 10 outputs wahwah you posted on facebook (and maybe his flower and scott french guitars)?
Nick please can I be on your guest list when you play Bristol, England on Wednesday 21? That would be so cool peace and love
Whoa placerville ! Fucking show in hangtown that's crazy small town , hard to imagine
Hahahaha YES AN HOUR OD PEDALS AND EFFECTS
Beat Mega Man 5 before this interview ended.
Great listen.
i want that orange hat
Three ridiculously dope musicians in one ridiculously dope studio. HELLA TERA VOLTA? HTV for short?
Where can I find the audio to Portals? I need it in my life.
Maybe interview Devin Ocampo?! Would be so awesome! Love the video BTW, Spencer is wild.
Tripper was written and recorded in 1 day?!?!?!??! WHAAAAATTTTTT
Each song in the same day, not all songs
Grove, a weird neighbourhood in Australia. thats me!!
Watching from Taiwan via a wierd neighbourhood in Australia
It's cool that you're obviously a big fan but maybe in the future let the guest do the talking
oh just enjoy the excitement
I mean yeah, but spencer is pretty introverted and not really detailed in his responses so i more see it as nick trying to pick him brain to get more detail/reaction
Fucking awesome guitarist. Shoutout bitches ain’t shit but good people
Cool!!
Aww yeah!
Sacramento used to have a killer music scene. I used to live out here in 2010 and just moved back. What’s going on out here now?
See you in a week!!
Holy shit Placerville I used ti live there
Epic...
fuck yeah hella
Fuck man Tera melos is untouchable. When I saw the krimson double trio I thought of melos the enitre time.

THE Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos!?
"from fucken, some weird neighbourhood in Australia" -oath Nick, coincidentally Mount Waverley, Melbourne, Victoria where Flea is from
Holy shit!
oh the memories. NoSeFart = NSF = Nintendo Sound Format
Zophars Domain was the hotspot for all that stuff. Man that was a minute ago
@@chrisknight3734 yeeeeeeah
@@chrisknight3734 also, acmlm!
Does anyone know if Spencer's strings were setup at high or low action? I would imagine high action to avoid buzz because his playing in Hella was fast and hard..
Teringie,Adelaide Hills,South Australia,5072 isn't weird.
The 2 piece was the best
Hitske rules though!
The Advantage should play MAGfest. please do it.
YYEEESSSS!
Brooooooooo
holy shit
Oro
whats up from a weird neighbourhood in australia lol
Juan, did you see Coil at All Tomorrow's Parties?
I wonder if any footage of Hellas first show exists?
when he mentioned a "john" was he talking about john theodore???? if so, you know zach hills good when even john theodore says "whoa"
Hide yo Jimmies Yes. Definitely John Theodore. You do realize that the camera man is Juan, bass player from TMV... not just two greats in the room, but three.
should've asked spencer if he's jealous about not being on jenny death
I am that person seeing this from some weird suburb in Australia
"oh shit" :)
Spencer does not get the props like Zach.
