No. 1512007·desert-rock·5 blocks
3's & 7's
Josh Homme's hard, mechanical riff from Era Vulgaris (2007) -- the record Homme described as 'construction-site' rock. Co-produced by Homme and Chris Goss (as The Fififf Teeners) and engineered by Alain Johannes at Cherokee, Steakhouse and Sound City. By this era the Maton BB1200 is Homme's main guitar, run into his Ampeg-leaning amps with an aggressive octave-fuzz bite over a tight, forward mid. Tuned down to C standard per band convention.
