Matchbox Twenty on Letterman with a couple AxeFX-IIs

[mmcm4]

Watched Letterman and saw these guys perform. I'm a big Matchbox Twenty fan so it's good to see them coming out with something new. It looks like the guitarist in the back is using an AxeFX-II and the one on right (stage left) has the full MFC-101 setup (see an earlier Mark Day post) with what looks like a strobe tuner mounted above the MFC-101.



Maybe we'll soon get some "professional" patches up on the exchange...

That would be really nice to see well known artists contribute presets to the Axe community.

I wonder what the bassist is playing through.

Here's Mark Day's post about finishing Paul's Axe FX II rig just over a month ago :

Spoke to a friend recently who did some crew work for a band called "Lifehouse" and they had 4 Axe IIs. 2 guitars, 1 bass and one spare. Everything FRFR, in ear monitor. Nice.

I didn't know Lifehouse was using Axe II's. Sweet!

Nice performance and very clean stage setup. Clever arrangement for three guitarists too. Each playing exactly whats needed part and texture wise for a good pop/rock tune. Using three very different guitars - clean tight Fender, rocky SG and the choral Ricky..

I'm a big fan of Matchbox 20's debut album. Like, rabid fan.... still know every word to the entire album and perform some of them every single weekend fan... What I love about that video is they have an extra guy to fill in the textures and vocal harmonies, which are just insanely good. I guess when you sell that many records, you can say, "Let's just pay a guy to play a few of the parts that are missing. Oh, and I want a couple extra drums to do that part." The song is meh, but perfect performance.
