    EC was on fine form around this period.

    He's broken a sweat here :

    Even on my phone that sounds good, much more biting than the tones he used later.
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I saw him play 'Have You Ever Loved a Woman' on that guitar at the Manchester Arena in '96.

    I was stunning... (hence my avatar)

    Probably Blackmore on "Made in Japan" :)

    This just gets me every time. A lot of players talk about trying to make the guitar sing, but for me this is the man who comes close to actually achieving this ambition. Stirring and soulful.

  • Pretty much any live incarnation of Black Crowes, plus almost every one of the many tones Warren Haynes gets out of his gear. Just sublime.

    Agreed, Warren Haynes is the one player I wish I could play/sound like.  My actual guitar hero...

    edit: a lot of people breaking the rules by posting "this band" or "this player" ... find a clip which nails the exact tone as players sound can alter significantly between songs/even on different versions of the same song! :P

    Nails sound like a slightly too polished version of the Sunlight sound.

    One of the most influential guitar tones in heavy music - even Hetfield grabbed a pen and write their amp settings down once.

    Perfection.

    Re: Sleep I was always disappointed with their guitar sound. Too much fizz and gain, too much pedal, not enough amp.

    @reverend - yes, you wont be surprised to hear they use HM2's, but I think they sort of take the sunlight sound to it's natural conclusion. Production is by Kurt Ballou of Converge whos has done a lot of similar sounding bands, but I think the guitar sound on this record in particular is something special. Got to mention his work on the recent Vallenfyre record too (and not just because I made some of the pedals they used for it namedrop namedrop etc) - although it is also in the same general ballpark it sounds genuinely gobsmacking. Have always loved the sound of that Trouble record - you really can see (or hear) the Hetfield connection, and it would just have been plain wrong not to mention Dopesmoker @samzadgan i would disagree with the fizziness comment - if anything the guitar sounds more like a big fuzzy bassoon in parts

    I haven't listened to Jerusalem since it came out, as far as I can remember, let alone Dopesmoker. I just remember seeing Sleep back then and thinking it was too modern sounding :)

    While Im at it - cannto get enough of the complete disregard for tone on the 1st few Black Flag records - basically a transistor amp turned up to breaking point, and it still sounds beyond gnarly -

    I am not fan of fuzz for doom. Although I do like Al Morris III's tone, especially in Force.

    Still the best reason to tune low.

    It just had to be World Eater - phenomenal track, second only to Cenotaph in the BT discog imo. Yeah, Sleep have all of a sudden become icons of old school doom and (amazing band though I think they are/were) when they released there 1st few records I'm sure I remember they were viewed very much as young pretenders -  I do like High of Fire more than them tbh

    I remember sneaking into an over 18's gig in sydney when these guys came to Oz...my god...to this day (25 years later) I still remember the power they had at that gig, i don't think i've been to anything as brutal as that!
