#WhiteZombie #AstroCreep #RobZombie
I was going to skip to the end but a little voice told me... Perhaps you had better start at the beginning 🤘🏽
Perhaps you better start from the beginning... perhaps you better start from the beginning... perhaps you better start from the beginning...
Hahaha....
Then she said, "I'm already dead..."
You’re going to get up and burn an X in your head
Look, i know the supernatural isn't something thats supposed to happen but it does happen
I think Astro Creep 2000 is one of the best produced albums I've ever heard. Sounds good on any speakers, even when an guy I know wanted to test his car speakers and we cranked it up and every song was super clear and crisp
Completely agree. I’ve always thought the guitars on this entire album sound amazing.
THis is the era I live for, I love White Zombie's first two albums
(after they signed)
I really tried listening to their stuff before La Sexorcisto, and it just wasn’t there. Rob’s songwriting and imagery was their, but the songs just fell flat.
@@guitaraholic83 I hear ya brother - you can hear them finding their sound in that early stuff. It’s interesting to hear a young Zombie before they fully developed, they must have been pretty young. I don’t put those albums on too often, but it’s cool that their out there. They’ll come in handy when the White Zombie movie comes out... that’d be cool.
Actually it's their last two albums.. Oh I see.. you said AFTER they were signed.. I assume you mean to Geffen... because they had a couple of smaller independent deals before that.
agreed... and I love how White Zombie continues to have this LIFE beyond their time as a functioning band.. you ask people who love ROCK... and they are ALWAYS on the list.. and in most cases, preferable to Rob's solo outputs. I happen to love Rob Zombie. Hellbilly Deluxe came out JUST as I got into high school, so it is massive for me.. but after hearing the first two WZ albums... 🤷.. ya knooooo
You should make one for Dino's tone on Fear Factory's Demanufacture.
That on'es pretty much impossible unless you some how get Dino's old modded marshall. Because that thing was basically a whole new amp after how much it was modded.
This
@@saintlotus93 There are several amps that were modded the same way (or at least 95 %) by the same guy. There was one on Ebay last year. It's basically a regular JCM800 2203/2204 with extra gain stages, added FX loop, bass boost, noise gate, and push/pull switch for the gain stages on/off.
DINO IS GOD!!! I’m fortunate enough to have seen the greatest band ever TWICE
Welcome to the MOTHER FUCKING world of
FEAR FACTORY!!!
CarcPazu fear factory for life
I was just watching Airheads last night and I forgot they did a cameo in that movie! Astro creep was sooooo heavy at the time! Blood milk and sky is my fav off that album.
Ha! Nice! For the gamers out there: Way of The Warrior for the 3DO! Developed by Naughty Dog! La Sexorcisto was the soundtrack for the entire game! Like an old-school Mortal Kombat.
at the time? one cant name anything better to this day... not even the lone rangers
The attempt is invalid without also recreating the dreadlocks.
#factsarefacts
Brutal!!! 😂😂😂
#playinaband
Riffs, Beards, Dreadlocks and Gear :P
This is how you do a “Sounds like by busting the bank” video. Dead on, killer tone.
I say spot on with the white zombie tone I went and listened to the cd and this side by side and you almost can't tell them a part but there's also some secrets that probable wasn't told on that web site . I met Bob back in the day before they got famous with the song Thunder Kiss 65, I met him in New York in a hole in the wall bar and they did like a 45 min show there and the max capacity of the joint was like maybe 300 people I wanna say less more like 250 this was back in 88 so a long time ago.
I miss J's riffs! Thanks for this, Fluff!!
Good job bud. Pretty damn close. I had that Randall in the day. Hated the speakers in the cab though.
Oh yeah. White Zombie will always be cooler than Rob Zombie.
If I could make a suggestion, a video on Daron Malakian’s _Toxicity_ tone or Josh Homme’s _Songs For the Deaf_ or _Era Vulgara_ would be cool
Pretty sure malakians is just an ibanez iceman into a marshall.
@@bradhargis2261 he mighta mixed it with a toneblaster lol
From what I"ve seen and can hear, Daron's mixing a Plexi and a Dual rec.
The secret for that band is "no talent".
Josh Homme, without a doubt!
Jay's a good guy, he actually responds to emails.
Rob Zombie is the same way.
I can really appreciate that fact about Jay and Rob.
When I heard this when it came out it blew me away. The guitar sound on this record is just as crushing now as it was back then.
Thank you for doing this video. J. is a guitar god. His guitar playing took White Zombie from interesting to the arena smashing rock gods they become. Thanks for highlighting him!
I love this album so much. The production was insane ! The guitar tone was perfect and you NAILED it !!
Dude your channel is so sick! 🤘
"All the bass, none of the middle, and half the treble...that's what i always say." -J Yuenger (spelling?) I read this quote from him in one of the guitar magazines in the early 90s. He is absolutely one of my influences, along with Jerry Cantrell, Dime, and Randy Rhoads. I actually found J on the internet years ago and let him know that he influenced me and he replied to thank me for the kind words. He was, then, producing/recording punk bands in New Orleans.
It's about time somebody gave J. Yuenger his well deserved props! Great job man. One of the most underrated tones. I loved his tone in the 90's second only to Dimebag!
RANDALL ALLIANCE
Wanna talk about a serious unsung hero. It amazes me, that there are so many seriously talented guitar players, that have fallen off of the radar. I love everything about Jay’s playing. I will get murdered for bringing this name up in a post about Jay, but people like Vito Bratta not still being around, for us guitar players to enjoy is just wrong.
This was really cool, White Zombie is my favorite incarnation of Rob’s career! I’d love to see a bit more about how you actually went to set things up as far as level settings, running both amps, etc (I’m a novice at this lol)
totally agree
To me White Zombie WAS his musical career, and everything after WZ was just his inner vision evolving. So, still White Zombie becoming more White Zombie. It was a seminal album tho.
White Zombie was fucking brilliant
Sounds great to me! It’s funny to start with solid state amps, then have everyone say tube or bust, then learn that some of the most impactful tones have solid state amps as a key ingredient.
Way back in the day I remember reading an interview with White Zombie fearlessly going with solid state amps. Easier to work with, more affordable, and it was decided that this was going to be their signature tone.
@@oceanaxim I recall John 5 in a rig interview was using a Marshall solid state as a backup amp with RZ and saying it was better in some ways because it didn't get as much radio interference as the tubes did. I think solid state is really good for tight stuff like this. It's just that you have to play the amp as it is.
Now do this with "Dirt"'s guitar tone. I triple-dog-dare ya!
you talkin about chains? hard to say if i like dirt or jar better
When I first started playing I obsessed over this guys tone. I had grown up listening to tons of White/Rob Zombie and I wanted to play all of the songs just like how this album sounded. Soon I found out that my broke 13 year old ass didnt have nearly enough money for all those cabs, so I just made do with my line 6 spider lol. Thanks for posting this broski, you brought back some great memories.
Did you continue playing or did the Line 6 just take the life out of it?
@@fullclipaudio haha, still playing everyday. I dont use it too much anymore but I even still have that spider!
If you could do Kirk Windsteins tone from Crowbar’s Sonic Excess in its Purest Form I would shit myself. Thanks Fluff.
Randall RG100 with a Boss Metal Zone driving the front end as a Volume Boost NOT a Gain Boost. They dialed out the Gain completely.
It just so happens that I met Kirk and Sammy on that tour and asked them this exact question after the show. Haha
@Sweet Jones III Ahhh...the ol' "If I don't know them then nobody knows them routine". Classic.
Plenty of metalheads know Crowbar. Not necessarily the demographic that this channel appeals to though. But to call them a "whack ass band" reveals your ignorance to the underground metal world.
@Sweet Jones III shut the fuck up. Nobody knows who you are.
@Sweet Jones III Sammy Duet from Acid Bath, Agents of Oblivion, Goatwhore, as well as Crowbar...
This indeed is an epic gamer moment
That's a killer 90s sound, dude.
J is my favorite guitarist. He could write riffs like no other. I always wanted to hear more from him
White Zombie was THE loudest band I’ve ever seen live. I’ve never had my ears rings so long after a show as they did then. Any hearing loss I may have I blame on them. Lol.
Fantastic job, Fluff! Electric Head Pt. 1 is probably my favorite album opening track of all time. All of the build up on the album going into that riff blew my 14 year old mind when I first heard it.
One of the best tones i've heard on your channel
Thanks for the shout out to Jay. One of the most underrated guitarists IMHO.
I feel like this is one of the first videos where you blend two amps. Can you do more videos on blending amps? How do two choose two amps? What works well together? Do a video on what to do and not to do when using two amps.
Kevin Tracz I was going to post the same question.
This was the only CD in my CD player for a good year or two
I’m loving these videos, fluff. The pumpkins one blew me away and this one was just as good. As a 90’s teen these were some of my big influences too. I love the detail you go into. Can’t wait to see more.
I prefer Sexcorcisto but thanks for this video. He's one of the most underrated dudes ever.
The sound was awesome. Love this series, keep them coming.
Always loved his tone and riffs. Very cool vid Fluff appreciate ya .
I'm digging these vids, @Fluff.
Keep it up.
I loved this album. My first concert was Pantera/White Zombie in 96.
F@cking Awesome. Always dug the guitar on this album. I should listen to it more.
"perhaps we better start from the beginning" awsome vid. That song is also one of my favorites from that album
Blood Milk and Sky for me
hey, i just want to say thank you for posting this video. i have been frustrated with never getting the exact guitar tone i have in my head, to translate to virtual amps. After watching this video, i combined in amplitube 4. a randall head and cab parallel with a mesa boogie dual rec head and cab. and a little eq on both. combined with my lea paul. it instantly it was the tone i had been searching so many years. it chugs, but is still crisp and clear, very dynamic, and it tracks perfectly with other guitars in the mix. thank you so much. keep up the great work !
One of my all time favorite records. Thx for doing this fluff
Nice Job Fluff, this is spot on!
Hell yeah man, I love old White Zombie. J Yeunger was the man back in the day. Would kill to get one of those ICJ100WZ galaxy green iceman guitars.
This is a great series. Thank you Fluff.
J. has always been one of my favorites. Strapping on the Iceman and playing these riffs makes me feel like an eldritch god.
Yes, yes, YES!!
This album still sounds totes amazeballs. Not aged at all.
A lot of Terry Date's stuff really stands the test of time 👍🤘
Did not know Terry Date worked on that album. He does great work with great bands.
great job fluff! you really nailed his tone. respect. 🤟
Saw them twice .. both were killer shows.... Saw the first album tour and this album you are working on.... SOOOOOO F-ING LOOOUUUUD.... was GREAT!!
Prong was with them on first tour , also were AWESOME live
That album changed me. It was playing in every pool hall right after acdc
Damn bro! Subscribed! Lol. Well done. It was J's contributions on La Sexorcisto that got me really into distorted guitar sounds. I used-to have a Korg G1 Guitar Effects Processor that perfectly mimicked his sound on that album. Even saw him endorsing it through old Guitar World magazines in the 90s. Sadly it was stolen about a year and a half ago. I believe that Korg was the first to have a tube in their lineup. Thanks for posting!
Great choice jay is also on my list of favorite guitarist for tone, and sonic colorizing he did with in the songs structure
LOVE IT BRO! You put it best by calling him an unsung hero. Such a huge influence on me as a kid. I still jam this all the time!
I always said this too! Jay was an AMAZINGLY creative guitarists. Lots of the things he did weren’t even difficult to do. Like at all. He was really able to stretch what he could get out of certain guitar sounds and utilize them effectively.
I like rewatching this over because it motivates me, even using and working with what I have. :) Stay safe and Groovie my dude!
Man that sound tone is excellent! I want to get a tone like that when I burn my stuff to digital and tapes :)
Diggin this tone for sure
This album...release day I'm cruising with a buddy. He's a hip hop guy, and swears up and down that metal doesn't have enough bottom end. He's got 2 RF 12s in a ported box. I pop in More Human Than Human (at a modest level of loud), and proceed to blow both cones to smithereens. Needless to say he converted on the spot!! You nailed the tone of this classic. EH p1 is one of my favorite openers. Great vid Fluff!!
Saw them open on this tour, for Pantera on the Trendkill tour...
Till this very day, that's the best show I've ever seen, no contest!
Awesome vid. Glad to see J getting some cred. Great player.
YESSSS!!! Still my all time favorite album, still ahead of it's time...to this day
Sounds pretty accurate. Lot of work to get er' there, but worth it in the end! Great job Fluff!! \,,,/
i have also done this research !! J's guitar tone on that album is the holy grail !! As far as tone he is the king
Thank you! One of my fav albums ever and it helped define my musical taste as a preteen
this is so awesome you did this btw,TY!
Loved it. On that chug riff in the chorus, i be the bass is in there because it always sounded ungodly awesome to me. And Tempestas drums were dangerous sounding. All rounded up my Rob’s fantastic vocals. Music bliss
Loved this! Great job sir
Astrocreep is an amazing album and one of my favorite sounding albums of all time. Thank you for this.
I'm so happy you did this.
That sure is one super sexy swinging sound
I’m pretty sure the chic on that album cover was the same model they used for the mudflaps on semi’s and fuzzy dice 😂
... of the 70's
One of the best tones in a long time. Actually loved this video a lot. Accidental instruction on how to blend amp tones on top of each other rather than just one hard left and one hard right
Sounds great, really captured the punch of that opening riff.
The video I needed, thanks my dude
This could have been me talking. I 100% agree with your thoughts on this tone especially the track you chose. I love his sound here. I do remember reading that he layered the crap out of it. Also that he didn’t solo much because RZ didn’t want that. “Who you trying to impress” i seem to remember reading. Love this sound. LOVE that album. I remember buying it. Coming
Home, pulling the recliner close to the multi component stereo, plugging in my Sony headphones. Pressing play. And being just fkn blown away. I came for the More Human than Human and stayed for the Electrichead Pt 1 it. Was. Glorious.
That was such a sick sound. Good job
Very underrated guitarist and amp,I really wish the band could out aside or settle there problems with each other and put out another banging album
Awesome job on this ryan !! I wondered if the stuff after le sexrosisto was lower tuned.
This made me so happy. Too bad J is such a recluse. This album changed my life also.
@@TychoAnomaly0 Brave statement, lol. I really liked J's style. I wish Fluff would have gone with a JB pickup because I'm pretty sure that's what J used to use.
I don't think he's a recluse?.... He's travelling the world, living the dream!
i agree 100%, J is totally underrated
You need a MXR Flanger Doubler, Dimebag turned him on to that
That tone sounds SO GOOD and boy am I happy to see the Meeseeks guitar back out!!
Absolutely savage tone
Best tone by far you've ever had on the channel.
Nailed it. That's rad Fluff, thank you! 🤟👌
Saving for later - this album changed my life!!
Think you pretty much nailed it. Nice work! 🤘
Electric Head in your head! 🤘
Saw them on tour with Pantera in Dallas in the 90’s, an unforgettable experience!
As a dude in his late 30’s who grew up thinking he missed all the cool bands live (Zeppelin, etc) I’m realizing how amazing the 90s really were for rock and metal and how lucky I am to have seen all these bands. 🤣🤘
Damn good guitar sound man!
Such a wicked tone !
Awesome vid thanks!
Awesome! Now I have to go and listen to AstroCreep!
Yes!!! The very song that I first head banged too at age 13. It just came out haha!! Great vid thanks!
Sound killer! greetings from Italy
I have always ALWAYS been a huge pantera/ white zombie fan huge fan of le sexorcisto. Ive been using this gear for a while and i camt find myself moving from it. Love your review man you rock!!!
I wonder if you can do the 2000’s tom delonge sound with a blend of marshall and mesa boogie with out the helix?
J is my fav and my fav album.
YYYUUUUSSSS!!! I've been waiting since the Insat post.
Bro i love your vids quick question
How much altogether have you spent on your gear collection? if you dont mind me asking.
Great Job but now we need you to do a riff compilation of the whole album with this tone!
Subscribed. You deserve more subs.
The opening track is so awesome! Probably my favorite
You absolutely nailed that!!!!!!!
J and Sean where big inspirations when I was growing up, I saw them live in 92 open for Pantera and Megadeth, Pine Knob music theater. I was 15, I always loved J's tone, but I read an interview long ago that said he used a Marshall half stack and a rat pedal. Also he used allot of various pedals like the bee gee and bee ba, tons of fuzz boxes.
Best new Metal band was White Zombie in the 90s.
