Gemma Hayes & Kevin Shields - Whiskey Girl

[VictorC53]

im asking the same question as most guitarists here,but god what pedals is he using

[mkt0902]

@VictorC53

YANAHA SPX900 maybe. Gate reverb is the most important.Maybe.

[magocacana]

[lui505]

oh my god!!!

[INSPIRON6464]

[isthisdesire80]

dreamy Kevin's guitar

[darkheartlightsoul]

absolutely beautiful

[Polyfusia]

Gemma Hayes opened for My Bloody Valentine on their reunion tour, for their Toronto show. She received an unfair amount of hate from the audience.

She's not a shoegaze artist. Once you realize that, you'll like her more.

Kevin Shields seems to like her, and he historically has great taste...

[cadenmccann2]

kevin shields is such an artist, the floating world he creates with his guitar is simply divine :D

[daesturbed]

kevin shields fucking owns the tremelo arm and reverse reverb effect for eternity. any time those are combined together it will immediately be associated to his sound.

[sidewalksurf]

Anyone know what guitar Kevin is using here? Probably a Jazzmaster or Jaguar but I can't see.

[alexjtrigs]

Jazzmaster.

[nouvellefatale]

wow so beautiful

[crubbits]

It's pleasing to see someone who isn't bonking the hell out of their guitar. It's as if his pick is made out of cotton wool.

[icedeadd]

@crubbits love your comment for "as if his pick is made out of cotton wool"

[diamondsea3]

aww adorable smile Kevin :)

[deadredeyes]

I love that smile that Kevin gives to Gemma right in the beginning of the video.

[usernamesjustsuck]

beautiful

[masataka986]

[mickeyt86]

wow.... kevin is a genius... flat out

[morningdial]

TREMOLO TREMOLO

[thatcirclesound]

This must have been an awesome experience for Gemma. I know she's a huuuuge Kevin Shields fan. It must have been cool for Mr. Shields, too, though. I mean, it's Gemma. She's kind of amazing in her own right.

I would have died to see this in person.

[nrdrake]

esto es genial!!

[deeeecraig]

Wow-I guess that Kevin Shields sounds like Kevin Shields, even live.  He's such a great accompanist, so deft and complimentary.

[diawol]

actually he doesn't use many effectpedals. basically it's just reverse reverb (in a rack), a distortion pedal and most important; his own special use of the tremolo arm on the guitar, which as you all know has been his trademark during the years.

[thinlinechris]

@diawol - you serious? for this concert perhaps not but in mbv he has two MASSIVE boards littered with pedals.

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

@thinlinechris in the studio they didn't use nearly that much gear. it's all studio magic on the albums. and anyway, his vast collection of pedals in the live setup is mostly for teasing the gearheads.

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

@thinlinechris

According to kevin, most of them are just eq pedals. He's obsessive about tone.

[RembrandtPussyhorse]

I've come to realise that much of the big, ethereal music around seems to come out of ireland, or people of irish heritage (i.e the smiths). My Bloody Valentine and U2 are both great examples of the "irish sound". Big ethereal walls of guitar. But in my opinion, Kevin Shields does it better than anyone, including the Edge.

[jojo808]

dont forget JAMC . I'd love to know what footpedals or processors hes using here.

[andreslog]

Reverb

[crashsite000]

JAMC = Scotland

[mmidgers]

MBV=Ireland

[brownbess]

And London, & Berlin, & Queens NY.

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

Publin

[FantabulousNoise]

not that simple

[francophone3]

don't forget Siobhan Donaghy!!!

[swans1997]

Great to see some live Kevin again.Been awhile since the MBV show. Pretty tune.
