Adam's a true artist and a hell of a nice guy... spoke to him after a show on a quiet night for half an hour, just before "Lost in the Dream" went huge.

I always enjoy rig rundowns. It's interesting and enjoyable to hear people talk enthusiastically about their gear. Also nice when the unsung heroes of the big shows get to come out from behind the scenes and explain how they've got the show set up and how they take care of the equipment.

Such a cool, laid back dude. Adam is one of the greatest of our times.

This has become my second favourite Rig Rundown, after Nels Cline.

Absolutely stunning setup 🫨

Man, that Firebird looks THIN!

This is more complexity than my brain was designed to handle. Like the console of a fighter jet plus a microwave oven. I like the guitars and amps.

I just recently got into this band . Adam is a pocket player who plays in a band context . There is something sonic with feel with a smooth assuring grip on the wheel. He understands equipment and it's tool usage!!!! Great rigrundown . Great Band. I am a FanBoy.

another favorite rig rundown !! fantastic artist and so chill and humble ! and yes we want a kevin shields rig rundown !!

Can you do an entire episode on his Firebird? Just have him play it and talk about it for like 45 minutes and I'll watch it every day holy cow it's beautiful

He brings A LOT of pedals, but he uses them all. Love him

One of the best Rig Rundown's. Crazy cool setup!

such a cool nice and modest guy, really enjoyed this one

This guy is really important to me right now!!!

Old Town Music shoutout! (and Hank). Portland represent!

This rundown was so much more enjoyable than the a day to remember rundown I've watched before.

Love this band. It's a real treat to see how it's put together like this.

Earth amps! I remember them back in the day! We had a Earth PA in the band that was just awesome.

Nice Electra phase shifter. That was from Richard's Music in Lawrence KS. A great store full of old used gear.

IV BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RIG RUNDOWN FOR SO LONG!

" beautiful piece " 😂😂😂 great episode as always

This is one of my favourite RR's along with the two J Mascis! Can you please make a second rundown with The War On Drugs, with the second guitarist and bassist too? Adam being the gear-head he is I suspect he's got some new stuff! Rig Rundown made me a gear-head, both a curse and a gift :D

Can you guys do a Spice Girls rig rundown? Thanks

FINALLY !

I keep hearing he uses a bun runner too so I came here.. but his theory on the electra pedal is making my nerves go crazy I just wanna go back in time and correct him so bad

Yeah Adam's seems like the coolest guy in rock, I wish him so much happiness. ps I had a fender endorsement, they're a good crew.

Exquisite sound, this guy knows his pedals. Great to know he uses the same Hardwire pedals I do, even though his sound is more like a shoegazey approach to the legendary Great American sound (even though he uses British HiWatts :P )

i love Rig Rundown, and this one is GREAT!, but why don't they ever actually play a few notes/chords while stepping thru the pedals and amps? It'd be cool to hear the rigs, at least at the beginning or end of the video. PS: (i'm a huge WoD fan and Adam seems so nice and cool. They were fantastic on Austin City Limits recently.)

Love me some Rig Rundown! I(we) can fantasize what guitar(s) I(we) hope to have someday and amps etc. For now I'm stuck playing one electric acoustically. Better then nothing and contributes to creating! I put some of what I create on my channel.

I loved this interview and of course the War on Drugs. Some of the best production I've ever heard on their last 2 albums. Totally hifi. Live was a a different story and I thought the sound was drowned out/lost. Was hard to hear his vocal and the venue is known for class sound. I'm wondering if his combo with the perpetual trem going on and reverb is problematic. Nonetheless he rocks and hope they keep cranking killer tunes.

I think john bohlinger (bolinger?) is a great host, he lets them do the talking and isn't completely oblivious to things. He's quite an accomplished musician. No matter who you put on these rig rundowns, as soon as its posted they are basically thrown to the wolves by all the people who believe they could do better behind their keyboards. Nothing will ever satisfy people. If you think you can do his job better I suggest you contact premier guitar and forward them a resume right away.
