8 finger tapping on a "chaopin stick" bass, playing two basslines simultaneously at lightning fast speeds, with perfect precision and you call this ":crap" what is wrong with you guys?
when I read the comments I was expecting atonal avant-garde and experimental for the sake of being avant-garde and experimental noise, but it's actually very listenable. this just goes to show that the average youtube commenter cannot appreciate anything that isn't 4/4 pop music. /hipster
People isn't prepared for this kind of music. Haha, i like it. They sounds strange 'cause their amplification and EQ is not the most proper for the style that they propose.
I always thought this video was shitty, and that this was just a musical note-salad of gibberish, but once you've heard it a few times and can focus on deriving the rhythm primarily from the bass (or war guitar, or whatever) instead of trying to do it from all the widdly's the lead guitar is doing, it's actually REALLY fucking technical and awesome. For the first time ever, I can say I actually understood this song (yes, this SONG), and legitimately enjoyed it. Thanks, weed!
@mrgakozak Funny thing how musically speaking this is actually intricately written. It just doesn't apply to the norms of what one is used to hearing, it's pushing the mathematical boundaries of what works in the system of musical composition that we, as a species, have developed through our history.
@cactusjack901 That's fair enough and there's no doubt that a lot of thought went into writing it, but unfortunately, it's just too hard to listen to to be enjoyable. It'll probably have its niche though, everything does.
@samgrahaminc Hey, I'm one of the guys in that niche. It's not something I listen to every day, but now and then, it has an erratic tone that really fits the mood.
Thanks for actually like.... putting thought into your reply. =D
@cactusjack901 Cheers. Glad you like it, personally it's not my cup of tea, but hell, them two guys spent the time to write it, they must have liked it. If they didn't, they'd have just abandoned it.
@PreppyHobo yeah yeah yeah, listen to their whole album faggy fart. besides, eric clapton may be "legendary" but he sucks balls compared to guitarists now. Fuck your old ass music.
@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR its a warr guitar, not a 12 string bass, fag. It has the range of a bass and a guitar, so that he can play two instruments at the same time. Retard.
When i feel like listening to metal music this is the type of metal i listen to anymore, These guys are good, at 2;03 sounds like 60s background music from twilight zone or perry mason episode, deliberately fucked up..To some people its just noise? Don't listen to metal, especially boring digested neoclassical, maybe Michel romeo i wont fall asleep? If nothing i want to hear some weird shit john mclaughlin miles Davis style metal fusion very rare..Whatever nobody gives a shit is quite pleasant
I think its actually funny that the recorded version of this song, is actually kind of decent and if you're into math metal, this bands pretty fucking good..on top of that, this video was taken for Guitar World and was posted through their magazine and website, but this video, is fucking TERRIBLE
No matter how much time they put into this it still sucks ass. . It's kind of like drawing with poop - no matter how hard you've thought about what you're drawing and what elements you applied it's still shit smeared on a canvas.
@bstockwellc sketch youre da fukinn sketch u cunt! dis is the best band inthe world, look how dem guys play they play so fast and amazing u just saying they shit because they don't have a drumemr well if dey did have a fucking drumer they be the best band in the charts mait! ahaha i bet you listen to old people mustic like elton jon! The beatles are shit too i stepped on a beatle the other day thats how shit they are they don't even play their own instruments unlike these guys! FUCCCK!
Ibanez are a perfectly good and respectable company and they make perfectly good and respectable guitars. The above video is pathetic, but it would be equally pathetic if he were playing it on a three-grand Gibson.
@TheNeutralFan actually I really enjoyed all of the playing and seriously believe 99% of metal musicians in the world could not play these riffs with the same accuracy. Agree the solo is quite iffy though.
@HamerD Whatever. Personally I believe that 99% of metal musicians could do with learning how to make music.
This isn't musical, it's just lots of fancy sweeping and impressive moves. Musicianship is about more than that though.
I don't like this for the same reason that I don't like Dragonforce; It's all very technically impressive but at the end of the day, it just doesn't sound very musical to my ears.
@TheNeutralFan Well Dragonforce also edits the shit out of their...well shit. I think these guys are playing live, something Dragonforce cannot claim to ever do well. That being said, a song needs structure, and this...random playing has none. I doubt if these guys played the same song again it would come out the same way. Maybe the beginning kind've, but that's it. I can do 128th notes with one hand on a drum set, doesn't mean it's good.
@TheNeutralFan It's kinda like if a soccer player had the skill to kick the ball 4,000 meters in any direction he wanted, but it has to be a bigger angle than 20 degrees. Yeah it's cool, but you can't use it to play, only show off and even then, it'll just be 15 minutes of fame.
Biffy Clyro have (or at least had, though their newer B-sides are much more like the old Biffy) the right idea. They take the rules of traditional musicianship and mess around with them (search for 9/15ths if you want an example, though ironically that's actually one of their newer songs which generally speaking are more conventional), creating music which still has rythm and still is accessible, but is nevertheless unique and brilliantly original.
I believe that I'm not the only one that cant remember any fucking riff!
