I’m Bad. I’m Nationwide.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIrhcOIYfA8

The song was inspired by Texas bluesman Joey Long. As Billy Gibbons tells it, Long always had a new Cadillac. However, since he didn’t have a drivers license, his beautiful wife Barbarella used to drive him to gigs. Long died in 1995. The song is also noteworthy as the only tune other than Somebody Else Been Shaking Your Tree where Gibbons plays pedal steel guitar.

Gibbons also plays “a multi-stringed mandolin-like instrument from Parral, Mexico” that Long gave him. “If you listen closely, you can hear close-miked mandolin-sounding rhythm accompaniment,” he told Guitar World. “The lead track was played on a custom-made, half-sized, real short-scaled guitar tuned to G. It was actually standard tuning cranked up three steps, which remained quite playable thanks to the guitar’s short scale. The song’s tail end alternates between three distinct effects created by two pedals: an Echoplex doubler and a Maestro octave box alternating every third bar between having the octave up and the octave down.”

How do you guys listen to your music? Been wanting to ask this. Speakers? Headphones? Brands?

I have a pair of JBL powered studio monitors coming off my rack mount gear. Headphones when mowing.

I'm all digital. I might get into the vinyl game. We'll see. Have about 200 records, but it seems like more work than enjoyment.

I'm not audiophile but I like these. I use them for music and audio books. Use them every time I fly since my airpods sometime bother my ears when cabin pressure changes.

I have that exact headphone. It is one of the very few that would fit over my big ears.

Outrageous lyrics for the time.

I do Raycon for headphones. I don't know the model. Solid, not the best of course. Average studio monitors speaker wise, $500 or so will blow your mind though once that hits your ears. You get to hear the music the way the engineers mixed it. On our first album I was like WTF, we played that? Regular speakers like KLH are trash even though they're marketed as high end.

With the studio monitors I do some processing on the rack mount, not much. Most people haven't been in a studio. Your car or headphones don't cut it. Good, mine aren't good. But hearing what the musicians and engineers mixed is mind blowing. Everyone seems to have shitty ear buds at this point. I'm over the ear or bust with even average headphones.

Studio monitors though... man, it's a game changer for listening. They're not super expensive. An above average setup is $800-1k. First time I listened to my JBL's (average) I may have cum a little bit. You HAVE to go the the music stores, not Best Buy or the likes. Avoid Amazon as it might not be legit.

Sorry for the rant. Not an audiophile, but know good speakers and sound when I hear it. Live audio is getting amazing. At least if the band cares. Too much live auto tuning and other shit though for pop music. Basically no singing or playing instruments to an extent. It's all backing tracks with an auto tuned live mix that is only 20% if that. Most pop musicians literally do noting besides move around in skank outfits at live shows. We live in the Milli Vanilli era of music. They were mocked. Now modern bands, groups, artists do the exact same thing. And it's okay? I call bull shit.
