BIRD IS THE WORD - IRONBIRD \m/
I added spearhead inlays to my newly acquired '86 BC Rich NJ Series Ironbird, and also threw a set of new and 💩ty NYXL strings. If you're a regular to my channel, you already know how I feel about these strings and ever other brand that isn't D 'Addario. "You really should try the"...NOPE don't wanna hear it. I probably will be ripping these strings off sooner rather than later. They are just exceptionally bad!!! At least the recordings still sounded good. Many more videos with the Bird to come, as well as others. Thanks for watching!!!

6:38 Nice gallop technic dude.
That ibanez cuts through so brilliantly, those standard pickups sound great.
I could not give less of a shit of what people think about bc rich guitars... The Ironbird will remain as one of the few guitar models that I will adore and worship until my days are ournumbered. Long live bc rich.
in all my years of playing, I've never seen someone pull off the look of a B.C. Rich quite like Kevin! It either came off to edgy or even a bit cringey in most cases but with Kevin, it's just perfect! Like Hetfield and the Explorer or Dimebag and the Razorback, shit looks DOPE on you man! KILLER riffs!

Wow, I've never heard anyone say NYXL's sound lifeless and dull, they must be fake ones. They are brighter and last longer than the EXL's for me by a long time.

I think the NYXL sound good for drop b and lower tuning. Check out the dunlop heavycore strings....

I absolutely hate NYXL in every gauge I tried. They feel stiffer, and sound like 2 weeks old EB Slinkies.

Kid: "Mom, Dad. I want a BC Rich guitar for Christmas." Parents: "No way, Son. You'll poke your eye out."
That Ibanez sounds so brutal!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Crunchy, my man. You're keeping the spirit of the 80's and 90's extreme metal in general and I thank you for that.
This shape doesn’t get enough love. It’s my favorite BCR shape by a longshot.
Nice crushing riffs, keep up the great work Kevin! 🎸💪🤘
Holy crap those are some amazing riffs. Love the tone and intensity of both guitars and they fit well with your technique and cool playing style
i love all your guitars but the ibanez just has that bite!!
Didn't expect take on me, awesome playing bro.

Love every single one of your videos! Best guitarist out there right now!
Love the channel, keep up the good work. Greetings from Belgium🤛
9:15 Take me oooooooon!!!! LMAO
I got the same shirt on today hahahahahaa! keep it up Kev!
Taaaaaaake ooooooonnnnnn meeeeee….take on me😂
Your tone here reminded me instantly of Slayer's "Reign in Blood" album.
Some very impressive thrash metal riffing on the Ironbird! Liked the galloping riff at 6:40 also.
Killer stuff Rutan would approve
Had me head bangin along Kevin! Killer 🎸's and riffs as usual! Keep rockin 💯!!!!!! Rippin it up!!!!!!
Swesome comparison! Great playing.
I can totally understand your disposition about the strings that came with the guitar, I can totally understand how you feel, I mean, what you should do is you should turn around and sell those strings and put the strings you want on the guitar, that guitar looks so killer brother!! 🎸🤘🎸🤘, Fuck yeah brother, that’s a great find!! That thing is a fucking mean and cool looking guitar!! Keep on rockin brother!! by the way, I live in Rochester Hills, Michigan and I just got a Badcat P4M custom shop explorer guitar and I’m really loving this guitar!! I go to MotorCity Guitar once in a while when I can, it’s always good to see Marty, very nice guy!! Hope you’re doing alright brother 😎😎
Man that Beast sounds perfect for black metal. Might have to pick one of those up at some point. I've heard there are some generations/eras of manufacturing I should avoid with B.C. Rich guitars. Which ones are a safe bet?

I’ve always assumed that the older the better with BCR. The late era stuff feels like plastic to me, unless you can find a higher quality model from back then
That iron bird is sick love them bc riches
That Ironbird is fucking sick, the tone here is fucking wicked aswell.
Really enjoyed this side by side comparison
Monster of a guitar player and amazing metal tone. 🎼👍🎛️🔉👍🎛️🔉 Great guitar collection.
Awesome Kev, now you need a black Mockingbird like John from incantation
Love that Hannamen LDT BRO!!!!!!
Excellent harmonics.
KEV! Since you have an X2N in a BC Rich... can we get a Death-Crystal Mountain cover?!
Probably the most evil guitar shape of all time.
Man I wish more people would try kahler tremolos out I love them. A quick tip to anyone that has one that was told to me by Neil Moser. Tighten the cam screws just until they start getting a bit of resistance, then loosen them 1 1/2 to 2 turns and it'll return to perfect tuning after divebombs. Just to help get the right amount of tension on them.
I have that same guitar, possibly the same year with all the same hardware in pearl white. Currently sanded down due to the paint looking kinda yellow. Maybe some crackle paint coming soon
I have an Ibanez with an X2N in the bridge and this thing fuckin rips. Not the tightest sounding pickup, but sounds absolutely massive. Good choice!
I hear what you're saying about D'addario strings. I'm primarily a bassist but for bass guitar as well as guitar ever since throwing in those D'addario in the precision bass I knew I'd never buy another brand of strings. They last forever, never break, amazing tone, yet most importantly the feel of those strings are unlike any other brand.
Sounds / looks killer🤘

Curious how you did the inlays? Can’t tell if I like the x2n or not. Guess I’d have to play one haha Ever try a lundgren m6?
you gotta do a blood incantation cover with it!

I got a solar gc1.6 "killertone". with black winter pickups in it. it sounds completely kick ass. I can see why they are your favourite pickups of all time
So we are getting that A-Ha cover soon right, RIGHT?!
SAWEET jamming! 🤘
Looks like you love playing the Ibanez the most but it looks like you enjoyed the sound of the LTD Jeff Hanneman the most. The EMGs were clearly really made for that style of playing.
Hi there.......Do you like the................B.C. Rich Gunslinger II Prophecy Electric Guitar - Black Pearl.........Thanks

Still new to this kev. Enlighten me.
Eric Rutan would be proud. He's the only cat I know that primarily uses an Ironbird. I know Trey Azagthoth dabbles but he likes the Warrior bodystyle
Biggest bird reveal
I am SOOO jealous... of that guitar.
Surprisingly, the Ibanez sounded the most clear and tight. But, the riffing on the Beast was boss.
LMFAOOOOO he played Africa on guitar🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How Many Guitars Do You Have In Your Collection?
I've always said, all BC Rich guitars should have at least those kind of big diamond inlays or at least the cloud inlays..
ESP w/EMGs 🤘
Dull sounding strings are usually caused by bad electronics. Unless they’re on an acoustic
Nice I have a 85 Rich Bitch and love it . Sounds Sick
Hey Kevin. What do you think if the band Portal?
Браво Кевин
I want an Ironbird but I can’t afford one
Jackson was best aggressive sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much if you don’t mind me asking Kevin
I want one so bad dude fuck that sick
Hi, how did you get those rhombus inlays? Are those some kind of stickers?
The Ibanez has the best all around sound K
PLEASE DO HALO 2 THEME IT WOULD BE SO RAD!!!!!

Someone sounds a bit jealous that they didn't get a freeby because of their skills. That piece of shit you talk about cost $2000 and came from a super humid 3rd world country on the other side of the world, no shit it had to be re set up after it arrived and settled it went to Michigan. Grow up
you could put those strings on a bass almost lol
show BC RICH guitar 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌬🌬🌬🌬
FUN FACT: If you play this video at half speed, you can see all the guitars turn from white to black after he rips a$$.
Hi kevin
Kinda funny that a metal guitarist would use the term “brightness” when referring to a true metal sound. Might be referring to “NU METAL”

What if I told you I know where the inventor of that shape is, and since his brother had passed, (rest his soul) needs a little help getting some of these new guitar bodies done, that not only rival the O.G. B.C. Rich's but the Bernardo JR ones as well, plus, he has a few Bernardo JR ones that were never even finished dude, all hand made, just like they did for KK back in the day, let me know if you are interested, I'll just introduce y'all great opportunity for both of you, my email is on my page dude, hit me up.

I hope your drummer is as cut as you, that's a work out!! Ha!!
Scratch that I think Azagthoth is an Ironbird guy too
sounds really high rangish. hate to saw tinny but yeah.
