Paul Reed Smith Interview: PRS Rules Of Tone (Epic Fail)

We recently had the privilege of interviewing Paul Reed Smith at Music Store Live and decided we would have a little fun with Paul before we got to all the good stuff (the Rules of Tone, tonewood moisture content, the number of winds in the 408 pickups and other nerdy affairs, etc.). Here we are doing our best to throw him off his game. Did we succeed?

I met Paul last night - I cannot wait to get a shot at an interview like this too. Great job from MusicStoreLive - my new favourite YouTube channel!!

[GlennMichaelThompson]

Thanks for the laughs. Good to see people in the industry not taking themselves too seriously!

[taylorcameron]

Paul Reed Smith is a legend, what makes it better is he has a great sense of humour and the fact that he laughs just like Steve Carell XD

[felipeharger]

Paul is an amazing and humble genius! I could listen to him talking about his craft all day long

[KenFrenchMedia]

Just love it! Haven't laughed so hard since Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

[JohnFichtner]

This has got to be the best interview I've ever watched.  Bravo.

[daveowens]

Haha...PRS puts it right back at 'em! 

[BaronVonQuiply]

"Did you take a drug this morning? Or is this a lack of drugs?"

See, that's why Paul is on top. Unmatched perception and insight.

One of the most organic interviews I've ever seen. Great job guys :)

[gregbrooks]

Pure comedy gold!!! lamb) that was crazy funny!!!! good!

[ealDealOfficial]

Paul's a '70s guy so it's probably a bit harder to rile him up. I found this hilarious!

[tbswanso]

Holy shit that's SO good.
Nice work gentlemen!

[Ramdas_Devadiga]

This made my dad. Great review and much respect for Mr. Smith.

[TVoltG]

Nice to see this. lmao! After meeting Paul a couple times who was always gracious with his time and was a real pleasure meeting but he always had this cocky attitude so this was great to see him thrown off and messed with. I am a fan of PRS guitars by the way and will always love my PRSi. Great video..

[amhedet]

This video cracks me up! How did Paul take it? Was he mad off camera?

[Happy-Me.]

This is great. I saw PRS the other night in Birmingham UK. A very  knowledgeable man.

[caolanonf]

Excellent, he has a great sense of humour!

[ABain]

I've never seen Paul laugh that hard lol

[RelentlessCookies]

I have so much respect for PRS, this dude has so much life in him. Not the average corporate drone bossman

[eduardorosariol]

i seriously thought that Paul was ready to throw the prs at him, give him his v12
