Favorite Youtube Musician/Gear reviews

[BrentSSL]

So there are alot of these guys and girls out there now There is of course the mighty Ola Englund, Fluff aka Ryan Bruce, Maytel Cohen, and Rob Scallon they are all bad ass do great videos. Who's your favorite what other Youtube musicians do you guys watch? If something is "home video" shot is it underground? Do you guys want more and better gear reviews and info like Fluff does? Or do you like it better when stores do videos like Haggerty Music Works in the US and Andertons in the UK?
Just asking for people who watch this stuff like TV episodes hahaha

I like Chappers and the Captain at Andertons - mainly because they are entertaining, talk a power of shite and don't take it too seriously.

I doubt I would base any buying decision on something recorded by a store however

Pete Thorn is probably my favorite gear reviewer. Difficult not to trust the judgement of a player who's that tasty.
If he demos something, it's usually because he's been using it in his rig or studio and that's a pretty good endorsement I think.

 

[SFW]

+1 for Pete Thorn.

 

[BrentSSL]

I'll have to check out Pete Thorn I used to religiously watch FAQ Mondays with Fluff but kinda fell behind on episode's

Pete Thorn and Shawn Tubbs are the best of the bunch by a landslide. Spent two days sick in bed a while back and watched more demo videos from more people than I care to remember and those two guys are on another level compared to the rest.

I enjoy the crap out of Rob Scallons videos great musician I could listen to that stuff all day lol

Are any of these reviewers paid to do reviews? If so, that would that make the review fair/legitimate and unbiased?

I think Fluff is pretty Unbiased due to the amount of gear he has tried I really wish he would do an how to video for the MarkV

For equipment it's hard to beat the Pro Guitar Shop demo's. Plus Pete's are killer. Put's it in the context of a song and uses different guitars and amps and plays different styles. No offense to Fluff as he seems like a good dude but pretty generic and simple metal playing doesn't do a whole lot for me in demoing gear. Ola started something cool but after a while they're all so identical you realize that the only difference in Metal tones is how they feel to play, not how they sound. Especially when all metal demo's are tuned way down. How the fuck can you tell anything about a hot humbucker in a guitar, tuned to C or lower going into a hot preamp on youtube?

 

[BrentSSL]

I think Ola and Fluff do a great job capturing the essence of an amp they are playing through imho

Greg Koch is super also!!!!!

Pete Thorn rules for reviews, but my favorite demo video is Phil X's Friedman BE100 demo! Just fun to watch, over and over again!

i was going to say - the phil X BE-100 demo is legendary at this point to me. i enjoy his demos, though a lot are vintage pieces that I'm not really in the market for.

i generally am interested in a lot of the stuff that Pete demo's so I like what he does a lot.

Love those guys, even if the videos go on forever, they are funny and pretty honest.
The one they did for the Mesa Cab Clone when the Mesa rep was there was the most uncomfortable video review I've ever seen
