  • ...good guitar players, but shit band.Proper shit band

  • Corey has an As I Lay Dying shirt. The best thing I've seen all week.

  • This is pretty much an awesome video.

  • Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu : Beast!

  • 2:10 Corey fail :D

  • And so the search for Raittarian's comment begins

  • Every guitarist has a different sound. For me, I think Trivium's display various different kinds of cultural and artistic sounds. Children of Bodom's are much more to show off what they can do, as well as still having a massive artistic value. Synyster Gates, for me at least, is the master of emotion. Each fret that he presses, you get a true sense of anger, depression or happiness depending on the song. Guitarists simply cannot be compared.

  • "Guthrie Govan type tapping thing" my arse!!

  • Matt always cool!

  • I like Corey's shirt.

  • what kind of tuning is that? drop c? drop c flat? or what?

  • @warbeastboy770 drop c#

  • @warbeastboy770 c flat is a b

  • @BBOZ83 If its so shitty then why are you wasting your time and effort to find the video, and then comment on it?

    do us a favor and GTFO.

  • trying to learn that asap, that's the only part that i'm struggling with in this song, especially the tapping part... Btw, did learn that from a very strange approach: Acoustic ver -> electric rhytm -> trying to add the lead parts to complete the progress :)

  • they play clean as hell, even when playing live... like how corey and matt changes in solos. first matt does solo, then maatt does rythm, then solo and rythm again.

  • corey gets a lick from goven wahahahha

  • yeeeah!! corey has an as i lay dying t-shirt :D

  • STOP THUMB UP REPLIES

  • did he just mention Guthrie Govan??

  • @lordbangkay21 Pretty much my exact reaction.

  • I'm not a huge fan of Trivium, but I'll admit that it's very rare when you find two guitarists that have as much chemistry as musicians as Matt and Corey.

  • that's obviously because you are Japanese

  • Matt loves the same kinds of solos that I love...I have a new idol. <3

  • as i lay dying shirt :D i lovo aild

  • are they tune in half step,..?

  • @birth2end yep drop C# (drop Db)

  • @ThrashMetalTrivum tnx man,... \m/

  • @birth2end Drop C# man.

  • dad metal riff lmao im 20 and that is my fave kinda lick

  • matt seems like a natural teacher

  • I felt like I could play this song. Then I watched this video. I can't.

  • what kind of pick ups is he using?

  • @vincentXXX666 Matt uses EMG 81 and 85. Corey uses Seymour Duncan Blackouts I think

  • @YummyShorty Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-1 to be exact :D

  • @vincentXXX666

    /watch?v=Y4bhM-JKnSM&feature=r­elmfu

    They cover all of the gear they used in "In Waves".

  • @vincentXXX666 i think matts using EMG's and corey is using Seymour Duncan's

  • The way they trade off my god just as good if not better then the greats (Maiden, Priest) they aren't two guitar players they are one and I don't think many other duos can say the same

  • its 22 to 24 corey, you have 24 fret guitar!

  • hihihi i started this all the way back in September trololo....A7x still suck donkey scrotums guys, face it, Synster would come out as gay if it helped his career along and got him endorsements

  • I fucking love that AILD shirt

  • 4:01  ..thumbs up !

  • if only this was tabbed in an issue of the magazine since no one has tabbed coreys second verse riff. i cant figure it out at all

  • The concepts of "song", and "band" seem to escape some people. If you're going to insult someone, at least choose someone deserving of the insult; otherwise, you just seem like a jackass.

  • If they are three popular bands, even haters know them it means they've done something better than the rest. Personally, I like BFMV, my favorite band, and then comes the "theyre a bunch of faggots" and such. Trivium is my second favorite band, and as already commented, they have different styles and so does A7X and Children of Bodom, but I like them all because they are unique and add catchy soloes to their songs. Why hate? and people still complain about "Metal is dying" or "Metal Rebellion"

  • Guys A7X are just fucking pussies that make fucking pussy music, Trivium do not make pussy music and are not pussies, simple as. A7x got where they are through labels, scene kids, hair cuts and money.,...Trivium got where they are by pure fucking talent and METAL

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 Not at all dude

  • Why are we all hating an a7x, I think syn has some of the most over the top beautiful melodies I have ever heard. Yes trivium is awsome but I can't compare them a7x or children of bodom they are all unique in thier own way. I never judge guitar players by just how technical they are.

  • @guitarplaya1035 Ugly, talentless and tasteless melodies is more like it. He's beaten the chromatic scale into the ground so hard it's now dating Chris Brown. Corey has perfect wide-stretching, exotic beautiful melodies.

  • I think it's a Jackson KVXMG, if I'm not mistaken

  • @TheDethDude (I don't like Trivium but I'm commenting so I can correct you) The guitar he is playing is a USA Jackson KV2 with Seymour Duncan Blackouts, not EMG's.

  • im not hating on a7x but i must agree on them being way overrated. i myself definately prefer trivium 100 times over

  • Comment removed

  • @Raittarian someone clearly hasnt listened to all of shogun

  • @Raittarian LOL did you really just said that syn is better than alexi? hahahahahahaha

  • @hawkskullify a7x isnt fucking overrated you douche and its a7x not ax7.

  • What happened to them and dean guitars

  • @sicness10 They were getting bad service from the Dean Company, and Dean Zelinsky left the company. The quality of their guitars have gone downhill ever since. They returned to the companies that endorsed them previously which is Gibson and Jackson for Heafy and Beaulieau respectively

  • can someone write this out in tab? especially the tapping part.

  • 'GUTHRIE GOVAN TYPE LICK' LOLOL

  • "dad metal riff" lol..... all of you can suck it! rap sucks balls, thats what we should argue about!

  • ax7 is super lame now. trivium kicks their ass 7 times over

  • why are people comparing A7X to trivium they are two completely different bands with their own style of music, tbh they're both my favourite bands coz they're different

  • @TheGooshak also both with insane and awesome guitar players ;)

  • @TheGooshak I do agree. A7X have a kind of speed meal sound while as Trivium have more of a progressive rock sound.

  • I watched the "In Waves" documentary and what the producers of this album said is "Corey is the type of guitarist who just wants to shred."

    So fucking true! And he's so naturally talented.

  • why is that overrated bitch synyster gates in this topic? he should just.. i dunno... not quit his day job

  • holy fuck corey is ripped. matt just looks like a tramp wearing a potato sack as a shirt

  • @nabhannaybn LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL i love trivium but that comment was just too funny LOOOOOOOOL!

  • @nabhannaybn LOL! so true!

  • owo... he is gotten... fckng fat... e.e

  • @onibaku3 BUT HE PLAYS AWESOME!!!!!

  • What'S that for a Jackson that Corey play's ?

  • @GibsonLPCFreak91 i think its his sig. model thats coming out soon. I could be wrong though :P

  • @GibsonLPCFreak91 Jackson KV2 USA. King V!

  • However... very f**king nice solo!!... I'll start on practicing it!! And the ones who criticize Syn. Gates... ok, you are completly right... or well, at least a little... (I'm not defending the guy... he's a good guitarrist, but just that... I don't have him in my top 10, or 20, or 30...) ... I guess you're all musicians that knows how hard is to get that level or speed... he has also his stuff... nothing spectacular or innovating... but, they have some... it's about "likes"...

  • @DrakosLord Joel McIver wouldn't be Syn in top 50. 66 in his book, the 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists. Corey Beaulieu is at 53. ;) 13 places higher. ;)

  • @xTheWorldNeedsAHerox Oh, certainly. I never said that Syn was better than Beaulieu (waaay the oposite). I just said that Syn wasn't that bad. Just that, 'cause I don't even consider him as an influence or anything. Honestly, I really like the way that Beaulieu plays. He's kinda' an influence for me :) Definetely better than Syn....

  • Matt and I have the same idea when it comes to solos lol

  • i don't have a wah... so buy it.

  • come on, trivium is awesome, and a7x is awesome too, and Synyster gates IS in fact a very damn good guitarrist. so is corey (and matt too, in my opinion)

  • @TheWolpatinger yeah true. but haters gonna hate.

  • ax7 is fcking shit!  trivium FTW

  • "...probably cause im japanese" haha

  • coreys wearing a as i lay dying shirt haha i have the same one

  • Not too sure why people are arguing about Avenged Sevenfold in a Trivium video. Also, just an observation, but the rhythm guitar during this solo (and, not that I think about it, the main riff of Forsake Not the Dream) both use a chord progression that Avenged Sevenfold use as well (the A-B-Db, though Avenged play almost exclusively in drop d, so the chords are all a half-step higher).

  • @Kwyjibo2006 Sister Gays has NEVER used any scale outside of chromatic scale. Fact. Corey played at 53 and Sister Gays placed at 66 in Joel McIver's book The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists. Fact. The one time Sister Gays did a sweep outside of the chromatic scale, on a video not in a song, was when she fucked up on the Lydian Mode. Never does any exotic sweeps or wide stretches. Doesn't have the talent, like Corey and basically EVERY other metal guitarist does.

  • Comment removed

  • @xTheWorldNeedsAHerox I...was talking about the chord progression in the song, not the solos? Also, I don't base my assumptions on guitarists' skill based on where they placed in a book. If this list were about different styles, why does Kirk Hammett place 15th when he's constantly accused of just playing in pentatonic with lots of wah? Form your own opinions about guitarists instead of following a top 100.

  • @Kwyjibo2006 You're speaking of Kirk Wahmmet since he sold out. He's not a bad guitarist. He's not good, but he's not bad like Sister Gays. He's at least original, he used to be a chromatic scale gaybasher back in the day as well. As in, he would gaybash chromatic notes with his fingers quite often. But he could at least play in other scales too. And he didn't pass himself off as more original for his chromatic solos. Anyone can do those. At least penatonic has some taste.

  • I don't understand the hate here. My three favorite bands are A7X, Trivium and Children of Bodom. Quite frankly, when it comes down to sheer technical ability, Alexi Laiho is better. But comparing Syn and Corey is stupid because they enjoy different styles and play comparatively unique music. As musicians, I would not hold any one of the three over the other. They are all fantastic musicians, they all make brilliant music, and that is all there is to it. Can we get along now?

  • @metalguitarist321  alexi is god!!!

  • @metalguitarist321 for technical guitarists 1. Alexi 2.Corey 3. syn . syn is the most non technical play ever....next to slayer but hes awesome

  • @metalguitarist321

    We can't get along yet because A7X is gay! Just kidding I'm not gunna bash anyone, I personally don't like them though. Alexi and Corey are the shit though.

  • @metalguitarist321 Corey > Laiho. laiho has slacked over the the last couple of years and corey is much more accurate live.

  • @metalguitarist321 Alexi USED to be better. Not any more.

  • @slanderoushalo I do not understand why you would make that statement. He neither lost talent nor became incapable of expressing it. Is your opinion stemming from dissatisfaction with their latest album? This Trivium album is less technical than Shogun, and I would not consider Corey less talented. Furthermore, I have not seen Corey play anything that would make me consider him more talented than Alexi. Nevertheless, this entire discussion is moderately subjective.

  • I was talking about Alexi Laiho... Who I would say is not as good as Corey any more. He's gotten sloppy, which considering how ridiculous Bodom used to be (Bed Of Razors, nuff said), is a bad thing. He can't really play their stuff live any more. Corey, I'd say, is just getting better and better despite me not being a huge fan of Trivium.

    To each their own.

  • @slanderoushalo What in my response to you signaled that I was discussing a different Alexi? Bed of Razors is one of the most commercial Bodom songs and far from his most technical work, so I am still thoroughly confused as to how you have determined his sloppiness. Furthermore, I still do not see how Corey could appear more technically skillful than he was previously if he is writing simper material. Good material, but simpler.

    Yes, but assertions require support.

  • @metalguitarist321 how do I know? I've seen them live, he botched quite a bit. And yes, Corey did botch that sweep - but as you said, everyone makes mistakes. I'd be willing to say that there's a difference between flubbing one note and messing up a more considerable amount. I've done both, playing the same solo at two shows on consecutive days One time I had it near - perfect, the second I basically missed every note in a run. So yeah, everybody fucks up at some point.

  • @slanderoushalo I have seen both bands live as well, and I would still argue that Alexi's solos are more difficult. Does that give him an excuse to mess up? Nah, but I still see him as the more technically skilled player. Corey is definitely a clean player on most occasions, but it's easier to play material cleanly if it is... well, easier.

  • @metalguitarist321 so let's just say that they're both good.

  • @slanderoushalo I completely agree. :D

  • @slanderoushalo In terms of my own case of initial support, Corey botched a fairly simple sweep at about 38 seconds in this video. Everyone makes mistakes, but his sweeps are nowhere near Alexi's.

  • "I don't have a wah with me." X]

  • love this song! best!!!

  • Why are people talking about gates than worshipping Corey Beaulieu who is simply the best.

  • Pretty much

  • id liek them so much more if their vibrato wasn't a bag of cocks

  • @zakkattack99 Matt's vibrato eats 90% of other guitarists'

  • i haveee that shirrtt, as i lay dying!

  • synyster gates is playing a different style of metal from corey .... -.-

  • I love how Corey is influenced by Guthrie Govan. Guthrie is a beastly, masterpiece creating guitarist and one of my influences as well. :)

  • Comment removed

  • AS I LAY DYING t-shirt !!!

    I fuckin love

  • what is the drop??

  • @oskr174 drop C#. your welcum=))

  • Whats the technical term for that dady solo? Anyone know

  • matt is the best man in the world of vocals

    

  • @eddyboy409 other way round bro

  • @eddyboy409 hahahahaha. that is all. Synister is damn good, but no.

  • I can do that

  • 1st riff sounds like Forsake not the dream

  • Mat and his unison Bends lol...hes does em in every solo

  • @untilitsleeps087 lol yep, also the one he calls the 'dad metal' lick. It's a very classic rock lead lick and he uses that one all the damned time too.

  • My favorite solo on the album, had to cover it

  • I thought it isnt so difficult song to play... but I dont think it anymore

  • Signs like hetfield, plays like mustaine

  • synster gates can suck corey's balls!!!

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 Why you have to take down other guitarist they all have different style syn is good in is style and corey the same

  • @BAMVENGEANCE no im not saying Synster Gates is bad, i'm just saying judging the way he dresses and the music he plays suggests he is probably interested in dating men. Theres nothing wrong with that, i have many gay friends, i'm merely stating that Synster Gates would clearly want to suck Corey's balls considering that Corey is a very accomplished guitarist....however from what i know Corey is straight so it kinda sucks for Sysnter innit :(

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 syn is married

  • @BAMVENGEANCE to a drag queen.....

  • @BAMVENGEANCE o shit your right, sorry i thought she was a drag queen. You gotta admit she looks like a man, and that massive adams apple she has...

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 ax7 is too fucking overrated

    

  • @hawkskullify yea their fans think they are metal kings and they try to prove that all the time and their fans try to leech off the fact that the rev is dead to make it seem like its wrong to hate a7x. im a avenged fan but their fans are poop heads. trivium fans are the real metal heads.

  • @hawkskullify Does it matter?? No both bands make great music people just need to shut up and listen to it!! 

  • @Tanis350 ooo

    

  • @hawkskullify Thats how I look at it, not trying to be mean but its true

  • @hawkskullify so are bands in general

  • @hawkskullify ax7 is shit

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 oh sorrry i forgot you are obviously more talented, rich and better looking than syn.

  • @kungfudragon99 how is that relevant, Justin fucking Bieber is richer, better looking and is actually pretty talented compared to most stuff in the charts cuz he does write alot of his own stuff (honest) but that doesnt mean he's good. However for the record, i think i could probably play and write equivalent solos to synster with not too many problems at all

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 ok first off why wud you even bring justin bieber up? and secondly if you think you can play and produce better solo's then syn SHOW IT. MAKE A BAND BECOME BIGGER THAN AVENGED SEVENFOLD, then i wud admit i was wrong about you, but untill then you're just another trash talking faggot.

  • @kungfudragon99 no, Avenged Sevenfold have made most their money by making accesible music that has easy hooks, having a 'cool' image to attract the opposite sex, getting lucky with the majjor labels and getting all the publicity a rock group can aqquire in the 21st century....if i was a few years older, better looking, willing to cultivate an image for a profit and willing to sell out to the major labels while making mainstream music i would be able ( any1 cud) achieve wat he has.He jst gt luky

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666 D Minor 9 sweep? Maybe he should be giving GAY7X's guitarist Sister Gays some guitar lessons on how to do some tasteful sweeps. GAY7X are so far behind that they've never been able to leave the chromatic scale. And yet they're over-glorified. Both of Trivium's guitarists, Matt and Corey, can shred fast AND TASTEFUL in various scales and modes. Matt and Corey can BOTH sweep in scales and modes outside of chromatic. Sister Gays can't leave the chromatic scale. Nuff said.

  • @xTheWorldNeedsAHerox nice one

  • @hawkskullify I know, right?

  • @ArseLoad0fMetal666

    synyster gates would piss all over corey :L

    im not arguing becous i love both of them just fact that sinister is better

  • Matt tone is just killer

  • 3 Best songs off In Waves...

    3.Black

    2.Caustic are the Ties that Bind

    1.Forsake Not The Dream

  • @stealthsuit58 i'd replace black with either chaos rains or drowning in slow motion

  • AS I LAY DYING

  • @IcantDiedeadenough Paolo was the main song writer in this album. He literally wrote most of the riffs from the album

  • @nexmetallum Can u imagine a bassist writing all the songs. Thats amazing!!

    The bass player is supposed to relax and dont do shit! But Corey's the one who write the leads and solos and Matt does the the stucture

  • Corey's solo sounds better without the wah...

  • its amazing how much you appreciate song more when you see them playing it up close like this

  • So are those EMGz on Matts Guitar? Cant reallt see those letters...

  • @ThatOklahomaGuy i dont know but go check out gibson

  • @ThatOklahomaGuy

    Matt uses the EMG 81 and 85 with chrome covers.

  • Corey is like; and then it's a Bflat into an Eminor and then back to a C... and i'm like; fuck yeah, if I only studied this a whole lot of more I would actually have a chance on understanding some of it :'D

    These guys are GOOODS. Can't wait to see them in November :D

  • DA WA !!!

    XD

  • Lol Guthrie Govan reference. That's how awesome Corey is.

  • coreys definantly the better lead player. matt doesnt even have a style. you can tell he copies other guitarist when it comes to solos
