Two guitarists, two very different ideas about how much gear a show requires.
PG’s Chris Kies took a field trip from Nashville to Memphis to catch Mastodon, where Bill Kelliher walked us through a rack that programs his amps for him and new guitarist Nick Johnston explained why he runs his guitar into an amp… and little else. Have a look at some quick highlights below, and tune into the new Rig Rundown for all the details.
