Lee malia looking the same since 2006

As a tone junkie who's a big fan of Lee, this video is a dream.

This is why TPS is great. They get artists in regardless of genre to analyse tone. BMTH isn't my cup of tea much like Mick and Dan, but this was fascinating. I feel like Lee got a lot out of it too.

Lee's playing in this video: 0:04 - Anthem 0:39 - Shadow Moses 1:16 - The House Of Wolves 26:07 - wonderful life 33:47 - Anthem (again) 36:43, 36:56 - Sleepwalking 39:11 - Fuck 46:26 - sugar honey ice & tea 47:47 - nihilist blues 48:22 - Blessed With A Curse 1:08:33 , 1:09:07 - in the dark

Lee once borrowed my 74 strat to play a couple of songs in our local when he was about 17 he was amazing . He played in a cover band with my best mate Harry .

Haha. Lee briefly explaining what a breakdown is to Dan and Mick is the cutest thing ever.

Totally underrated guitarist, I was totally impressed with his depth of knowledge and how intentional he is with his tone, my fav ep so far!

Lee: this is what I like but I don't know why TPS: here's why

I love these types of TPS episodes because Mick's inner journalist starts to come out, keeping the conversation moving and asking interesting questions from which the viewer wants to hear a perspective of the artist. Keep up the great work, friends!

Took me 50 minutes to realise that the riveted steel behind them on the wall is a giant 'BMTH'.

Lee's sound is monstrous even in the video, can't imagine it in the room. Man! Excellent video, haven't clicked so fast in a LONG time! P.S. Lee mentioning the looks like a 16 year old thing was fantastic

So lee played anthem in 2020? Wow

From an old time metalhead that watches your show, thanks for representing the metal. There is, actually, a whole lot you could talk about with metal tones. It's not just all Metal Zone sounds. There's tighter sounds, there's thick sounds, there's vintage sounds, there's gained-out sounds. Here's an idea for a show: 5150 style amp vs JCM 800 style amp. You could explore how each reacts differently to the different gain types (boost, drive, distortion, fuzz). You could explore how they sound with different distortion sources (amp vs pedal, or a blend of the two). And even though it's all probably been done before on dozens of other channels it would be nice to see it with That Pedal Show's enthusiasm for the exploration of tone.

What a lovely guy. Soft spoken, humble, genuine.

I don't know the band Lee is from, Bring Me The Horizon, so I checked them out on Spotify. I was very surprised. The music did not sound at all like what I was expecting after listening to him in this video. The newest album is very electronica, and actually pretty chill. Some of the other albums have heavy stuff, but it's not by any means a strictly heavy sounding band. They changed quite a bit over the years. Very good episode, guys. Very enjoyable.

Ten times more informative and interesting than these technical blues guitarists you some times feature. The guy from Radiohead, Blur and now this, music not just a guitarist. Ace, learned loads and a genuine insight.👌

One of the most influential guitarists for me. Always love to hear what Lee has to say.

one takeaway I got from this video: everyone could use a "Joey" in their life

At 38:31...Mick’s glance at the camera after he realizes he’s said, “When you’re spanking it that hard,” and no one else has heard it...just gold.

I love Lee Malia’s playing, he reminds me that guitar isn’t always technicality and more about taste. Such a chill guy

In some hidden places you can still hear Lee Malia playing some old bmth's songs

I thought this was some kind of joke to start with but it was heaven for me. I love that pedal show and I love heavy music. Thank you for being open minded.

unexpected crossover, cool though

I think that the fact that Lee has no idea why he likes what he likes is kind of awesome. He likes what he likes, and that’s good enough for him. I’ve been obsessed with his tone since BMTH’s There is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It album. It’s so meaty and punchy.

Lee reminds me of The Edge....the ambient, the “less is more” playing but refrigerator doors of gear...

A few takeaways I have from watching this whole video. 1.) I love seeing Dan and Mick's enthusiasm when it comes to a style that they don't know. It's refreshing to see people with a passion to not just be the teacher, but to take learning just as seriously. Absolutely phenomenal interview! 2.) Every interview I've ever seen of Lee he is very awkward and reserved, and that's probably just a character thing, but despite this one starting that way by the end he really opened up and got excited about what he was talking about with you guys and that was great to see. Not just that, but a testament to how great you two are at what you do. All that being said, keep up the good work gents, and I'm hoping to seeing more "heavy" music end up on this channel in the future!

What a gem of a video! How come I've never seen it before? Loved to find out all the little details about Lee's playing. Now I know what makes him even more special) Thank you so much for this, TPS!

It appears that Lee store his gear in the belly of a Russian freighter! Now that's METAL! Likable geezer as well!

Lee is an amazing musician, but there's so few interviews that go into any depth online, so really happy you guys met up with him :D

Wasn't expecting that, but also wasn't expecting it to be as interesting as it turned out to be.

What a charming lad. Wasn't sure at first that I'd make it to the end. But I was completely won over. I learned things, and kept pausing to go down rabbit holes. Great episode!

This guy is really generous with his time and thoughts. He is really up for sharing his approach and it's very refreshing.

My two takeaways from this video: 1) The Klon circuit is just amazing. It can do so many things in so many different situations and always sounds fantastic. 2) There is a reason I love my Friday mornings and TPS. Dan and Mick continue to impress with these deep dives into touring musicians gear. It doesn't matter what the genre is, tone is tone and they are going to get to the bottom of it with smiles on their faces. Shout out to Lee as well, seems like a great guy.

This is one of the best guitar rig videos on KZfaq. Amazing how much thought he's put into his rig, when most metal guys would stick a tube-screamer in front of a 5150 and call it a day 👍 Gonna be trying my Klon clone for high gain now!

By far the band taking the most risks right now. So refreshing to hear. Smashed it guys x

Cheers to Lee and the guy who designed his rig! Massive tone. And Lee seems so humble, class act.

I can only echo the comments: this is why TPS is great: even with guitarists who’s music doesn’t interest me.... the show highlights what makes them tick, which is ALWAYS interesting. another cool show guys!

Breath of fresh air. I say that as an ancient guitarist of near fossil status. Great video.

dan and mick really brought their best shirt game for this one

That ambient tone that he uses is so remarkable; Whenever I hear that space-y tone. It reminds me of BMTH

During isolation I’ve watched this about 99 times. I’ve always loved Lee’s playing and his method of getting tones. Thanks.

This is one of my favourite episodes, I love Lee's attitude towards his sound and hearing about his journey moving from small venues to huge spaces. Also I love the fact he still goes and plays covers down the working men's club like the rest of us!

Kudos for having a guest who isn't 100 years old or have been dead for 50! Me like

As a avid metal fan and a regular TPS viewer for years, thanks for this episode!!!!! This is definitely my cup of tea. 🤘🤘

Enjoyed this, best show for a while guys. Damn, that Explorer looked sweet. Want one!

This old boomer never heard of him. Now, after this, I have. Great! As usual, a great episode with some great insights to sounds that I'm unfamiliar with.

Great interview guys. Really interesting how Lee uses the various parts of his rig especially something like the synth 9. Thanks Mick, Dan and Lee.

Super nice guy. It’s great too se you guys on location. A refreshing change. Keep up the great work.

one of the reasons why i continue to watch this channel...watching mick and dan do interviews....and literally looking and acting like kids in a candy shop....the authenticity is awesome...

On behalf of myself and the other 2 viewers not familiar with BMTH, thank you TPS. Once again you have broadened this old boomer's musical (pun intended) horizon! I've already started checking them out and plan to buy some physical format material. Whaddya expect? I'm a boomer! The only digital download songs I have are the two by you guys.

OMG an hour of Lee content! Great video! (and it was uploaded on my birthday! Yay!) I love Lee. I like how you guys can keep the whole episode running without any awkward moment. Lee is usually quiet but in this video you made him open up more to share many interesting things. I'm new to electric guitar and I learned a lot from this episode alone. (Yes, I just learned that I hold pick the same way Lee did... and it's the wrong way to hold one. Oops. Also kudos for the timestamps. They help a lot) I might get his signature one day. Anyway I found it adorable when he said that people at the club thought he's 16 lol. Forever baby-face! Good to hear that apart from touring with his band he still does cover and plays at the club from time to time. Now I kinda wish that he would release some cover video for fun or start a class, it would be a dream come true. Great job, guys!

This guy gets a great sound, sort of a Rabea vibe on the riffage. Really enjoyed this, shot great too. Thanks guys

Just a note of appreciation for some of the really beautiful shots and lighting in this video. I also loved the convo and got a lot out of it too. Thanks Gents and thanks Lee

When you guys said this didnt get many views on the Q+A I decided to come here and put this on a loop. I love TPS and Ive been watching since 2017 but most of the stuff you cover are for genres that I dont really play - although I dont play heavy music anymore it was awesome to see Lee on the show. Id love to see more artists bigger with younger audiences on the show - Arctic Monkeys would be a great one for me. Cheers from NZ!

One of my top favorite TPS episodes. I come back time and again. Brilliant!

Love the 'Interview & Rig Tour' format!

Really enjoyed this.... There is soo much cool virtuosity and technicality to heavy music that people who don't check it out (like me!) miss out on!

I'm one of the three people who'd never heard of him or his band. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode though, very nice and interesting chap.

Awesome show , again!! Lee was a pleasure! Very talented and great fellow! Thanks to you all. Will definitely check BMTH out!

Streaming BMTH this weekend. Thx once again for broadening my horizons, TPS.

I grew up listening to BMTH in high school a year after Suicide Season came out. I was 17 back then. Been a fan of them ever since

This is awesome. I love Dan & Mick's enthusiasm for it even though it's not their usual thing.

that was awesome. such a humble guy. I can't imagine the music he hears in his head.

Yes!!! Love those heavy sounds. Every tone was on spot with clarity and brilliance. Thanks TPS for venturing to the chuggy side. I’ll give in and get a shirt now.

It may not be our thing. but this young mans approach to guitar is fascinating . An 80 on the E/C string. OMG. My favorite episode of that pedal show . Love his Epiphone. I want one.

I think it is so awesome that you guys did this video, I would've never expected you do someone like this. I'm primarily a metal player, with a lot of hard rock and some blues and classical thrown in there, and your videos have really helped me achieve some dramatic improvements in my tone and taught me how to get certain sounds that I just couldn't get without your videos. For what you guys do, there may not be that much of a market for you guys in the hard rock and metal community, but there are some out there that I'd love to see you guys do, John Petrucci being one of them, and yes he and others have covered his rig and pedal board, but you guys haven't, and you guys ask questions and bring up points that others do not. I don't think he'd ever do it, due to his reclusive nature, but Adam Jones would be another good one for you guys as well. Awesome video though, keep up the good work.

Love the "Rig Rundown" format !!

i just found this YT channel and i guess there is a lot of catching up to do🙌🏽

Its just great watching two masters of their own crafts meet someone who uses the same gear, but look at it like it’s complete new

I love the way he feels his way through every inch of his tone. It was great to hear Lee talk about it.

guys , when he played the riff at 34:00 you both lit up like schoolkids! that was, for me, the very best moment.

“Drummer on’t China” fantastic

That's one of the reasons I watch TPS I play high gain, heavy metal music, and all the same rules apply

I closed this yesterday because I thought It was nearly finished. But I just realized there's still another 40 minutes of sweet guitar nectar 👀

I was another one that wasn't sure if I was gonna enjoy this or not, but it was just as brilliant as any of your other shows with artists. Every one of these guys have so much to teach, just from developing their own style. Lee seems like a really cool and down to earth guy too. Keep it up guys, you really never cease to surprise and amaze me.

while other bands still chugging at the lowest tune on the 7/8 strings guitar to get heavier, he choose to ring the most badass and super heavy breakdown's riff i've ever heard since the new metal era.....what an amazing player and songwriter

i learned a lot on this episode regarding pick attacks and presence as it relates to gain. thank you!

The Baby-faced Shredder! Cool interview, interesting to have a different genre on the show. Thanks.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Metal on TPS, very nice episode! Heavy breakdown riffs are the stuff i grew up with, this guy knows a lot! Metal is not just insane noise, it takes experience to make it properly insane, and lots of rythm exercise.

I always appreciate your normal musical stylings you usually have on the channel, but PLEASE more metal!!! This and the Devin Townsend video are fascinating

I am loving, how baffeled the interviewers are bout his tone and riffs . Although i am not the fan of BMTH new stuff, i am blazing from happiness that you delivered this 1:20:00 masterpiece interview. More like this, pleaaaase!

Great interview. Surprised Lee didn’t talk about the spilt coil humbucker on his signature models (maybe I missed it). I have his RD, it’s a very versatile guitar and looks/plays amazing. Plus you don’t see many of them. The Klon with high higain is a perfect fit but actually prefer the thorpyfx Dane. Luv your show!!

Oh my god my teenage years is flooding me!!!

Ah, Fox’s Music in Meadow-hell...brings back some memories!

Brilliant interview/rundown/enlightenment, fellas. Thanks so much. Rarely do I stop and watch anything for more than 10 minutes, but this really held me for the full 80 mins. Cheers.

Awesome episode guys. Been a massive fan of Bring Me the Horizon and Lee’s playing for years. His style of playing really helped me to find my place in my own bands.

I like his first name

I was literally just playing some BMTH and thought “I wonder how they get their tone” then BAM I find TPS have a interview. Cheers boys 🤘

Great to hear Lee talking about the working mens clubs, which is where me and my band(s) play every weekend. To anyone who's interested, the guy he mentioned who joined Wishbone Ash is Mark Abrahams who I think used to be in a band called 'The Hunter' who have been doing the club circuit for years and years. I got talking to Mark after a gig cos his tone was amazing he was using an Engl Fireball (I think) with a Friedman BE100 pedal in front for his gain sound. Great player. Anyway, I might bump into you Lee, we'll have a pint while the Bingo is on ;) lol.

I love the lee malia signature epi's ! Besutiful.

never thought I'd see Bring the Horizon dude on That Pedal Show, and love ya'll the more for it. All 3 of ya are legends!

I think 'Hearts and Flowers' are my favorite inlay of all time. I have a Gibson Mastertone Banjo I've had since since I was a kid (70's) and they all have it as well.

Never listened to "Bring me the Horizon" but this guy plays like a clockwork i like him. Loud tube amps and 4x12 cabs are the essence of Metal, you can go digital but it's probably not the same. And this strings topic is always an issue with lower metal tunings. Either you get a longer scale or you get fatter strings, i helped a friend fit a 104 bass string on his 8-string guitar and it could still be thicker.

this is the most comfortable/talkative ive ever seen him in an interview lol

When i was around 15-17 i was massively in to bring me the horizon and still love their music, i didnt realise how much of lee’s take on things informed my own gutar sound for a long time, marshall slightly driven, les paul and soul food, that was me for a long time, recently i think i’m starting to yearn for a fender amp, and i’ve just put a deposit on a tele... guess who’s having a jeff buckley phase!!?

Excellent episode! I love that you guys are getting out of your normal world and open to learning from different genres. And kudos to Lee for using his EARS to determine what he plays and how he plays.

Thanks, guys! Love the Show and can't wait to tune in every week. I've been waiting to see some rack setups on the show, and this was excellent! I would love to see an episode about presence; that brief conversation left me wanting more.

I'd like to see a t-shirt with all the different face melting expressions Dan pulls when he hears a beautifully heavy tone. 😂

Genuinely, thank you guys for your show. As a blues, country, prog and metal guitarist, you are the only channel that grabs all of my attention. You somehow never have an episode that's drags on. I learn something almost every time, and you have expanded my music taste tremendously. #bestchannelonyoutube

Had to comment regarding the clips. When I was playing jazz professionally on two Gibson175’s, I used to visit my local cobbler and request he make me a narrow leather strap with a press stud, which I placed around the strings behind the floating bridge. Worked a CHARM. funnily enough, I do not do this with my Gretsch’s. It’s all part of the charm where they’re concerned. Really great show guys, this isn’t my world and I learned a lot. Ends my working week beautifully, every week. Thanks gents.
