Met this guy last year on vacation. Talked for a while and he invited me and my family to lunch. What a great guy. None of that rockstar bullshit.
No shit?....goddamn,I'd love to meet him some day myself 🤘
Legend.
I know a lady who lives in the same town as me who is really good friends with his wife, it's a small world lol.
He’s a real one bro. Legend.
I love how Kirk uses stuff most gear heads make fun of like Metal Zones and solid state amps but manages to sound heavy af while also having his own sound.
One of the heaviest sounds imo.
Metal Zone is awesome 😎 😂, Dime used only solid state , Well as the saying goes it ain’t the equipment it’s whose using it 😂
@@danielbaugher826 dime used tube amps for damageplan
@@alexkelly8131 but his Pantera tones were so much better 😂 although i did read somewhere that they mixed some Pantera tracks with a Wizard tube amp to get some extra heaviness, but i dont know if thats true or not.
@@alexkelly8131 yes and he was not pleased with ...
Kirk and his RG100ES’s. Literal riff legend.
I was maybe 6 years old. Sneaking and watching Beavis and Butthead at my older cousins. All of the sudden Crowbar came on. Changed my life. I am now 39. Love ya Kirk.
All I had I Gave 🤘
It’s amazing how many musicians Kirk has influenced over the years. Myself included. Crowbar are criminally underrated and are still relevant today
This man is metal!!! Also super cool and easy going down to earth type of “rock star” if you know what I mean. I love that and see that so much in our Metal community…. The world needs to take note of the metal community. We get all the aggression out safely and peacefully in the music, lyrics and in the pits!! Long live metal
Riff master
Kirk has no peers. Cheers to the sludge master. 💥
No one can argue with this man’s crushing rhythm guitar tone.
I love this man. Long may he reign.
Simple rig yet so heavy. what a legend.
One of the heaviest riff writers out there. Devastating sound on album (haven’t seen them live). Love his no bs approach.
Kirk is the coolest riff lord around. Took a selfie with him at his merch booth at the showbox in Seattle a few years back
Big Kirk Windstein! One of the loveliest dudes ever. Robin, his partner Is an angel also. True king
Met him for a selfie after a show and he is just like that what you see is what you get super cool and by the way, a riff legend!!!!
Some of best fret markers I've ever seen in a rig rundown. It makes sense.🤘👍🤘👍🤘
BEAST...I've been a fan since a baby...My dad was a fan since 1990.
great guy, love kirk
Kirk is such an inspiration to me! All tat matters to me is amazing heavy tone and he got it right like hardly anyone else has! No intricate bs, just tone and riffing.
Now I feel bad about selling my Metal Zone... 😅
Can't tell you how big of a crowbar fan I am all of Kirk's work is amazing
I have two solar explorers one is a baritone and I love them. Those Randall heads are badass. Cool vid! 😎🤘
Kirk and Dime are the reason I own the Rg100es xp
Gotta love Uncle Kirk. All Crowbar albums are amazing and make you head bang. Kirk is just straight up metal riffage all day.
Awesome, Kirk rules!
Thanks, Kirk. I love how straightforward your rig is, man! "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 👍🏻
I love his setup... So old-school
love everything about this guy's musicianship.👍👍
This was a great episode. Kirk is a legend. Such a good Riffer! He's the man.
What an awesome dude...Down to earth and willing to tell you everything you might want to know.....
Kirk is a legend! Great guitarist and all around awesome guy. Love his gear too
I am very happy to have met and briefly talked to Kirk Windstein before a show. An amazing musician.
Samesies. He's so chill🖤🤟
he understood everything to get his tone and thanks to him I was finally able to tame my metal zone afterwards I don't have a Randall amp yet, his riffs are just great
My favorite band Ever 😈 been wanting to see Down so much
Legend!
You rule Kirk getcha pull!!! 🤘😎🤘
Seen Down back in May, best show I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to see Crowbar when they come thru. Badass riffs.
Kirk is not only a great musician but a killer dude.
Crowbar has always been a favorite of mine. Them and Godflesh are my favorite metal acts of all time.
Looks dope. 😎
Love these walk-throughs with no BS. I needed a boost in front of my distortion for the bass and applied the same thinking and tried the Boss ODB3 for clean boost. Works perfect!!
Agreed, Kirk. That’s exactly how I would use the Metal Zone pedal. Your Solar sigs are awesome! 🎸🎸
Riff and simplicity LORD!
I watched this video right after a video of Sammy Duet talking about the Metal Zone. It's funny that Kirk hates the sound of that pedal, but it's what Acid Bath used back in the day. He did talk about using it as a clean boost when he was in Crowbar. As unique as a setup as it is, I remember everybody in New Orleans using either the Randall amp or the Ampeg VH140.
I’d buy his signature in a heartbeat!
Well now, I've learned what a Solar is. Thank you.
Good to see you! Nice Solar! My best to Mrs. W., see y’all in Houston !
I met this gentleman 1 week ago in Chicago airport, I didn't know he was the lead singer and guitarist of a well known metal band (I know many metal bands but not his one), he actually approached me as he spotted my Kiss t-shirt from 2019 European tour: we had a nice chat, talking about metal music and other things. I wish him to best in everything
What a legend
One if the nicest guys around and a riff lord
Perfect
Kirk is The Man!
awesome
Kirk is the reason why you shouldn't throw your MT-2 away.
He’s the reason I use one with my Randall.
Kirk is the man!
Met him once. Such a sweet dude. Very humble and nice. :)
Very cool. Kirk's guitar tone is godly, he's got some nice Solars too
Met Kirk and Sexy T before a show in Sacramento in 2016. It was around 103°F outside where we were waiting to get in and they came out to hang. "This ain't nothin compared to NOLA heat" -Sexy T. Such cool and humble guys. They blew the damn roof off the place. Hope to see them again some day
This past April I really wanted to see Crowbar with COC and Sepultura but it was that or school. Hope I get another chance in the next couple years. What a show (caught their sets on UA-cam).
Such a cool down to earth guy
A god and a legend. A legendary godlike deity….
Cool stuff
Rocking’ that shirt babe! ❤️
I have an old Metal Zone laying around so I decided to try out Kirk's technique. It actually sounds pretty good! Even with the the distortion knob turned all the way down, the Metal Zone still gives you a little bit of dirt on the signal. I haven't messed with it too much but I'm liking this so far. Thanks Kirk!
Woohooo!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Cool setup
Rock on Kirk🤘🤘🤘
Crowbar picked up where Sabbath left off. Love kirks lyrics, vocals, riffs and attitude!
Surprised how bare it is. They sounded damn good live recently
The first time I saw this dude on a stage, he was clean shaven and close to 300 pounds. I was 17 and had more beard than him LOL!
“We’re the Slugs, we hope you fuckin’ hate us” were the first words I heard him say.
I watched them opening for Sepultura, pretty solid band
OK KIRK!!! But here me out... The Metal Zone EQ section is is such that you are actually changing the tone even by keeping the knobs at 12 o'clock. It's an active EQ that adds and takes away whatever frequency is also at the 12 o'clock position. I always heard about the Metal Zone for a Boost with no Dist and the EQ at 12.... But that is always doing something with the MZ EQ section. But, Sounds Great!
legend
All Hail the mighty riff lord!!!
All Hail the RIFFBEAST Windstein!
OLD SCHOOL COOL
I have a Waza Craft Metal zone that is god tier in front of my Marshall Origin. Just have to know how to tweak it.
That f**** axe is bad ass
Fuck yea. Keep crushing it Kirk. Crowbar is the fucking shit. The best sludge/doom metal band of all time.
Kirk Rules.
Goddamn those Randalls are nostalgic AF!!
Kirk and Jimmy are literal twins.
Holy shit, he gets that sound out of CLESTIONS and an Hm-2?!!!
Kirk knows a thing or two about HEAVY RIFFS
Nothing fancy! I love it! He could be rockin expensive EVH or ENGL Amps but nope... No matter how many expensive tube amps I buy personally, I always love my Randall RH200 solid state Amp FAR more. It's very close to the RG100 series but more gain and channel knobs.
Even when he's not singing, Kirk still sounds like a hardcore cigarette smoker and gargles whiskey lol
I've known him since he was 15, he sounded like that even then 🤣🤣🤣
Because of his previous load of whiskey that he was digesting 🤫
NOLA metal for life!!
Beard of Doom, Horns up!
This man is made of 100% heavy riffing.
Motorhead and Judas Priest tattooed on his skull... It doesn't get any more Metal than Kirk!!! 🤘
I'd like to know who Crowbar's Engineer, Front House Sound Guy is .. for 30 yrs & counting.
yesssss!!! too long!!!
I think he is kind that's nice too see
MT-2 Metal Zone Lovers Unite !
I have the Waza Craft reissue of the Metal Zone and it's bad ass!!!!
I run it through my old Solid state Kustom Quad 200 HD head, to a Marshall 4x12 slant cabinet with Vintage 30's loaded in it. I tune my guitar to C....
By it self my rig is heavy as fuck tone wise!!! Some people have the tendency to forget about how the bass guitar rounds out a good guitar tone.
Kirk seems like such a dope old head
Simple, no fancy bullshit. Awesome.
i looked into trying to get this guitar but seems it's not out yet
A really cool and nice guy.
His massive sound is more stable than any goddamn wrecking ball.😜
Never throw out the metalzone.
Has Kirk ever tried to use the Metal Zone as a preamp?
Finally
