New Orleans heavyweights Crowbar have been on a relentless tour of sell-out shows this spring, playing a schedule of dates that would have bands half their age fainting. Ahead of their sold-out gig at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, PG’s Chris Kies talked with guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein, guitarist Matt Brunson, and bassist Pat Bruders to see what gear they’re using to conjure their crushing wall of sludgy hardcore. 0:00 - Tremonti & Wolf Van Halen with D'Addario 0:15 - "To Build a Mountain" Harmony Guitar Solo 1:35 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns! 1:44 - Chris Kies Intro 2:00 - Sold-Out Tour with Eyehategod 2:45 - NOLA Metal Community 3:48 - Solar Guitars Kirk Windstein Signature Guitars 5:08 - Kirk Windstein's Quad Cortex Setup 7:18 - Kirk Windstein's SonicTone Cabinet 7:58 - Kirk Windstein's Tone Needs for Crowbar 8:31 - Kirk Windstein's Seymour Duncan Invader & '59 Pickups 9:28 - Kirk Windstein on New Down Album & 2026 Tour Plans 10:54 - Crowbar Gear vs Down Setup 11:48 - Kirk Windstein's Picks, Strings & Tunings 13:49 - "I Feel The Burning Sun" Intro 14:51 - D'Addario Players Circle Rewards 15:52 - "The Lasting Dose" with Pat Bruders 16:30 - Pat Bruders' ESP LTD Phoenix II 19:05 - Pat Bruders' Darkglass Microtubes 900v2 20:15 - Pat Bruders' Tech21 Sansamp 21:49 - Pat Bruders' EichXL Cabinet 24:29 - Crowbar Rig vs Other Bass-Playing Gigs 25:31 - Pat Bruders' DR Strings & Tunings 26:22 - Why Pat Bruders Only Plays Fingerstyle 28:04 - Matt Brunson "The Lasting Dose" Riffing 28:52 - Matt Brunson's Dean Exile Select 7-String 33:56 - Matt Brunson's Kemper Profiler & SonicTone Cabinet 37:50 - Matt Brunson Riffing Outro 38:18 - D'Addario Visit Crowbar: https://www.crowbarnola.com/ Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube Win Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENL Merch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.com PG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitar PG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/ PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitar PG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitar PG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar [Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr Join D'Addario Players Circle Rewards for free today to start earning points toward free gear: https://ddar.io/pc-rr] © Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2026 #guitar #guitarist #rigrundown #guitarplayer
