BIG SHINY TONES — EPISODE 11Where we salute legends, roast gear myths, and gently bully our own pedalboards. Kirk Hammett is unloading 150+ guitars like he’s spring-cleaning a haunted mansion—yes, including that silver Gibson CEO4 SG he shredded during Black Sabbath’s farewell show. Meanwhile, Trey Anastasio has declared modern guitar music “same-y,” so he’s writing riffs on piano now, which is either genius… or the first sign he’s about to start a jazz odyssey no one asked for.Unpopular Opinion: Expensive cables? Worse than cheap cables. There—I said it. Cry about it in your $200 Mogami.And finally: Calm the Monster… calm YOUR monster!… as Rigs On Trial dives into producer/videographer, Mitchell's magic pedalboard, a shimmering labyrinth of stompboxes channeling full Bowie-in-Berlin avant-gard vibes. It hums. It hisses. It contemplates art. It may be the only pedalboard that’s ever truly asked, “What would Eno do?”
