Great footage, but who in their right friggin' mind would put Gary Moore so low in the mix? Half of his lead break at 2:52 is almost inaudible. After he plays his first couple of phrases note how Gary deftly reaches down with his right hand and turns up the tone knob of the bridge pickup, as if he knows he's low in the mix. This adds some bite to his subsequent phrases, though it's not nearly as up front as Scott Gorham's earlier lead break.

But those rhythm guitar tones are raucous, lewd, and raunchy in the best rock and roll tradition. There's nothing like a Gibson through a Marshall.

The bass was a little lost in the mix too. Could just be the way the overall mix translated to the audio in the video. It would have been cool to be in the audience and really hear what it sounded like live. He may have keep his tone rolled off a little for that meaty rhythm crunch tone and was just a little late rolling it on for his solo.

That might be it too. The rhythm parts have that almost cocked wah sound that you can get on a Les Paul with sensitive tone controls when they're rolled back slightly and the mids are emphasized.

There is a pickup truck commercial running right now that has some guitar tone that is very distinctive. I think it is for Ram but not sure. I will try to find it and post it. I think it is digital because it does not sound like anything I have ever heard before. It is some nasty crunch.
