[zurawius]

brilliantly  ,\../

[JMetal98]

Man, I've watched a lot of youtube videos and never created an account. But I had to for this to say how badass this was. Kind of inspirational in a sense, lol. I play guitar, but nothing like this, though it is my goal. Keep up the good work guys, I will look up any albums if you have them for sale by now?!? That a Line 6 amp? Sounds lot better then when i had one, and im sure player has nothing to do with it, lol...

[WATERVLOG]

Excellent. All the thumbs down people are haters / idiots.

[benxsolace]

Man I love this song! I've been listening to you guys for a few months now and as soon i had money for a cd guess what cd i bought? YOU GUYS! woooohoo! awesome job with the cd and Please keep it up! :)

[alexstypes]

@benxsolace Thanks for your help and support!!We're gonna be releasing a new album soon...its gonna kick ass buddy!!!

-JKR

[siskohellkaiser94]

@alexstypes i suck at sweeping and pinch harmonics any tips?

[ryan9312]

you guys are awesome but i just dont like paul reed smiths im not sure why

[Megdidar]

I love the PTH influence. There need to be more bands like them. You got my support.

[KrXsTaN]

Right at 1:00...that breakdown is INSANE....went back like 10 times to hear it

[TheFunkInfection]

its crazy how you can date your videos on jordans gagues

[aheal91]

bad ass

[ViperX666]

wow amazing stuff guys you've really inspired me to work on my licks damn i randomly found you guys searching for another band and you guys are great keep it up guys get song cant wait to hear more already!

[jeremygxxx]

I wish I had friends that were as skilled as you guys on guitar. I'm totally jamming to this with my 5 String bass in Bb standard.

[proverbs129]

is it just me, or does the dude on the left look like he needs a MUCH bigger guitar.

[DubztructionClan]

hey if you ever need a scream head to shithole Arizona ;)

[AscendancyXx]

@DubztructionClan screamin ruins every song

[DubztructionClan]

@AscendancyXx You lie. only if its done wrong.

[csmorgan]

wow this song is awesome

[xXMusicAsAWeaponXx]

Reminds me so much of Protest the Hero! (good thing)

[momdieddad]

I love the part starting at 1:00

[FallenEmpireFunFids]

I can hear alot of protest the hero in this xD Very awesome.

[cammyfootball1995]

when i play guitar i tend to rest my pinky of my right hand on the guitar , is that bad?

[alexstypes]

@cammyfootball1995 No, since this video my right hand technique has developed a lot and I do the same thing except for sweeping and very fast alternate picking. A lot of awesome players anchor their pinky. A lot don't. Preference I guess.

-Alex

[cammyfootball1995]

@alexstypes ohh cheers :) i just thought it helped if you didnt anchor your pinky for alternate picking and fast runs? :) also i love the bit at 1.02! may i ask how long you have been playing and how long it took you to master sweep picking?

[ZePhoeniex624]

@cammyfootball1995 No dude its just a technique style I do it occasionally when playing arpeggios it helps me know where I'm at on the strings kinda picked the technique up as a beginner and just never broke the habit but its good man whatever works....

[heelo112]

@alextypes whats the amp the lead guitarist is using?

[Neuwerkable]

O_O wow

[jkats14]

K, I'm going to go quit playing guitar...

[Burkefolk]

@jkats14 that's exactly the opposite thought you should have had. It's not "hey, they're pretty good, so i should stop!" is't "hey, that's interesting! I should try something like that!" then you make something beautiful as a result.

[broy50]

atleast he isnt wearing short shorts in this vid......

[SweepCreep]

1:44-1:54 fuck yeah!!!! that shits awesome!!!!! arizona tea fo lifeeeeeee lol

[irrelevanttheory1]

very Between the buried and Me! I like!

[zhkp2]

BADASS BROS

[damienelite1]

amazing!!!!

i cant get enough of the riffs at 1:00-1:16 what are you guys tuned in?

[IamAnoob44]

fuck killrbuckeye you guys are one of the best guitar players ever, your style, the music you write is just fucking amazing

[ryankennymusic]

How do you guys do your recording and drums?

[ROSALIO7170]

que chingona cancion!!

Me prende

[Silentmidget44]

The piano outro reminds me of one of the Protest outros!!! I can't think of which one though...none the less: Kick. Ass.

[Fuzorz]

2:40 = best riff !

[JTxFlannelEnergy]

Fucking damn... Your Guy's cover videos were awesome but this is insane i had no idea you guys are this beast.

[brady0715]

i can hear the Protest influence in this song. I dig it

[kranzman10]

you guys on facebook???

[areze666]

are you guys best friends?

[MarkHarrellJr]

Good, tight, clean.

Don't ever feel tempted to get a vocalist. Good stuff like this would only be wasted if you turned into another "ruh ruh raahhh" band. It'd be like giving micro brew to a lush.

[kickflip407]

SO sick.

[appolyon1313]

so wats the band name? and where can i get the music for personal listening? very progressive style.

[alexstypes]

@appolyon1313 This song and others that are more dated are from Jordan's album, "The Three Reigns", which can be found on iTunes.

Artist: Jordan K. Rush

Album: The Three Reigns

-Alex

[PWD93]

that is fuckin sick!! its gay how punk pop bands like a day to rmember, who have no musical talent get huge and sick musicians like use who play prog hardcore get nowhere near as big as other bands with no talent!!

[VHDT10]

@PWD93 My band is doing a prog metalcore kind of thing. Wish us luck :P This video is awesome!! Great fuckin song.

[PizzaMitKatzenKot]

@PWD93 normally i would agree with you, but a day to remember are just about having fun even if their songs arent that hard i think their an cool band... and I like this stuff like PTH too

and sorry for my english i'm german

[JTxFlannelEnergy]

@PWD93 whoa back off dude. A Day to Remember plays like they do to appeal to people with their lyrics. Kevin the new guitarist could play this stuff too they just like their thing better. If it was all about shredding for everyone then what would be the point of music? to see who could play fastest or craziest? also did you ever listen to the older heavier stuff?

[hobojaboobala]

u guys should cover  'this is exile'

[Kevin3z]

Subbed. This song is pretty much amazing.

[alexstypes]

@Kevin3z Thank you, check out the newer originals when we post them. They're better!!

-JKR

[MrBebopChamploo]

OMG ARIZONA ICE TEA IS AWESOME! 'o'

[TAFGuitarist]

Damn, this sure as hell made me cream a couple Twinkie loads. Nicely done, so sweet when your randomly stumble onto some actual talent on youtube.

[alexstypes]

@TAFGuitarist Thank you!

-JKR

[VicMurray88]

Ha, you guys are awesome and funny. God, I need to record and video my own material!

[Mexicanopkr]

What do you use to record your music,,, backgrounds and drums? and i dont know why but this songs makes me horny... hahah good job guys

[alexstypes]

@Mexicanopkr I used a tascam digital recorder, I've upgraded to Cubase 5 with Superior drums now. Hahaha you wouldn't be the only one that's said that (where you at B?) anyway, we should be posting newer originals, check those when they come up!

-JKR

[Hallowedbethyname92]

Don't ruin your talent by getting a screamer. Find a real singer with an epic metal voice.

[alexstypes]

@Hallowedbethyname92 Watch our latest videos!!

-JKR

[levipearl2112]

hahah nice bass tap

[300daysandnights]

screw getting a singer, find a drummer and start touring. house of blues in orlando would take you in a second.

[bankwood]

Please where is the album available? NEED TO KNOW!!!!

[alexstypes]

@bankwood iTunes "Jordan K Rush - The Three Reigns" thank you!!! every penny that goes into buying this album helps further fund new ones!!

-JKR

[jaredry18]

[alexstypes]

@jaredry18 Lol thank you!!!

[StinyGinkle]

[alexstypes]

@StinyGinkle iTunes "Jordan K Rush - The Three Reigns" thank you, thanks for supporting us!!

-JKR

[UnKoWn287]

that was amazing! i write a little it too bt not as well as that :P there was just the one part at 3:19 that sounded really close to a riff from PTH Wretch.. but great job guys

[Kurani17]

Just purchased their album 

[alexstypes]

@Kurani17 Thank you!!

-JKR

[Topher19801413]

that sounds some like Dream Theater at many points of the song.. great sound!!

[Weedboz]

sound siiiiiiiick , nice! \m/

[littlewahoo27]

the leads sounds quite btbam-esque. but the drums sound terrible. cool riffs though

[alexstypes]

@littlewahoo27 Thanks man. They're stock sounds from a keyboard. That's why lol. New stuff is going to sound much better.

-Alex

[littlewahoo27]

@alexstypes yea i could tell it was midi drums, but if they sounded more real and had vocals, this song would really shine

[alexstypes]

@littlewahoo27 Thanks...yea don't worry, the new stuff should kick ass haha.

-JKR

[54MProductions]

starts of all happy the after 20 seconds becomes dark and sexy

[mistermysterious420]

20 people's brains exploded from the sheer awesomeness.

[HeavyMetalDude166]

f**k yeah!!!!

[hockeyguyjc31]

Jordons fucking deezed, and keep up the good work guys, loving the protest style riffs.

[alexstypes]

@hockeyguyjc31 What does "deezed" mean? lol

-JKR

[alexstypes]

@hockeyguyjc31 actually I just looked it up...I think you mean Alex haha. Thanks btw

[dieidiotdie]

so.. not to say you sound a crapload a lot, im just saying your playing style KINDA (ISH ISH) sounds like Protest The Hero guitarists... I know you write your own shit though and are really talented guys just throwing my 2 cents out there. I am actually hoping you guys make a band, im down for an Album :), .. btw this is soooooo sick

[carnoape]

AWESOME stuff guys.Very fresh sounding and original in style.Where are you from geographically?

[MrShagification]

What amp do you use? I need a new one and yours sounds pretty good.

[alexstypes]

@MrShagification I'm plugging straight into the recorder using my line6PODx3.

-JKR

[MrShagification]

@alexstypes

Ha, I should have realized that. So would you recommend the POD for an intermediate skilled player such as myself?

[alexstypes]

@MrShagification I recommend it to anyone...there's a lot you can do with it.

[lukyganesh]

how many different time signatures are you using? do you find that it's easier to express what you want to play by using a multitude of time signatures instead of just the standard 4/4?

[alexstypes]

@lukyganesh Quite a few...it just depends on my mood.

-JKR

[AetherDreamer]

How old are you guys? I need to know so I can know how much I know my own band sucks. Haha

[alexstypes]

@AetherDreamer Lol We're both 22. Just practice and practice bud.

-JKR

[AetherDreamer]

@alexstypes Alright well I'm 16, I have a way to go I guess. Well keep progging you guys fucking kick ass.

[Sheridesthedevilsdic]

Simply .. awsome ... great ... and badass ... some odd reason, this helps me when i draw

[CherubicGuardian]

Playing is spot on, just need to work on your mixing.

[alexstypes]

@CherubicGuardian its definitely a work in progress...I think everything (mixing, playing and sounds all together) is getting better!

-JKR

[BackwudzBoi]

3:30 THUMBS UP! Lol.

[xHexagon]

The rhythm guitarist is awesome! Not to mention the lead! :)

[alexstypes]

@xHexagon Lol we both switch off when it comes to Lead.

-JKR

[raphaloco1]

nice mans,i think this video amazing

[TKTRiseAgainst]

I want to download your guys' songs :O

[cowboyfromhell91107]

this is somewhere between protest the hero and winds of plague lol. get a new drummer btw if thats ur drummer, he sucks.

[alexstypes]

@cowboyfromhell91107 Lol If you're referring to the dissentience video that's ME playing the drums, not to make excuses but that was like...the first day I played my kit in a year. And the drum recordings on these songs were done on the keyboard. I believe I'm stepping my game up this time around though, these songs are old.

-JKR

[eric1993v]

@cowboyfromhell91107 this drummer doesn't suck at all, what are you talking about?

[downhillwndrboy]

you look like matt heafy

[MrGara23]

bravo!!!!!i d like your opinion.............watch?v=4K­hlP7OByO8

[chulebam]

you guys are great, and like some other people, i think you are very influenced by protest the hero... but still have an original sound. by the way when you guys become real famous (because you will eventually) please, i beg you don't forget about your original fans =) we salute you from Mexico

[alexstypes]

@chulebam Hey we appreciate that, there's no way we could forget you guys!!

-JKR

[xXFallenKinghtXx]

apple juice at 1:48 lol

[tooleytim]

do u have tabs for the intro and what not?

[alexstypes]

@tooleytim I could've sworn I did, but I'm not sure where they are anymore. Sorry mate.

-JKR

[tooleytim]

@alexstypes ok no worries haha if u find them make sure to hit me up with them (: this songs badass love ur work man

[eric1993v]

you guys are fucking insane, seriously. i'm a huge dream theater fan and your stuff reminds me of their work. you guys play prog the way it should be played, thumbs up !

you should seriously go pro ;)

[alexstypes]

@eric1993v Thanks bud!

-JKR

[rahzark]

I don't need to tell you this because you're not stupid: the technical work is awesome.

The song, however is not that interesting. Just random technical show-off. Would love to hear a proper "song" written by you.

[Quala8ear]

impressing song! but what really interests me is how to get one of these huge arizona ice tea cans :D

[Imsirblackalot]

Metal=ear sex

[BlackEarth]

man, I've been listening to you guys for awhile and I've always been impressed by your skill in guitar craft.

I'm a musician too, although I'm far from where you guys are in terms of awesomitude. I was wondering, what do you guys use to make the drums?

[alteredlife]

Musical Masturbation

[88Chabingerm0]

Fuckin' GIO? See, just goes to show man, you can make it work on almost any guitar. Pretty sweet sounding song.

[rockwizclown]

any tips for composing music? :l

[BTbattalionMember94]

Fuckin AWESOME!!!!!

[anthonydorris]

how long have you guys been playing

[mapexia2]

am I the only one that thinks the guy with the Ibanez looks like a younger Matt Heafy in the far away shots?

[TheAQ23]

1:00-1:16 is GOD

[MrBoneytony]

I have been inspired since seeing your vids. Can't use itunes from where I live (Caribbean) so I will have to wait for the album.

Can you make a recommendation in terms of recording riff ideas? I would like to run a drum track to write and then save it. I have a MacBook and a line 6 POD v.2.0.

[shotinthedark90]

1:00

[kunimaro15689]

heyguys how much theory do you know and how did you learn it? 0.0

[dbsk8r92]

how the hell are you sounding this good and still playing an ibanez gio while he's playing close to a thousand dollar guitar

[alexstypes]

@dbsk8r92 Actually what you're hearing is all from the ibanez Gio man...hahaha if I had the money I would buy an expensive guitar but I'm doin alright with my cheaper guitars.

-JKR

[rockster07]

@alexstypes damn dude, how do you get it to sound like that? Im stuck with a cheap ibanez 7 string I bought off craigslist for about $120 (almost brand new, just to explain how cheap it is) and it definitely doesn't sound like that.. lol

[MindOfPagan]

@alexstypes What confuses me more is the Line6 amp on top of the guitar; Line6 being widely notorious for mediocre tone.

I assume you guys programmed your pianos, strings, and bass as well as the drums?

Did you use a line6 Pod of any sort to record this?

[alexstypes]

@MindOfPagan Yea I used the Line6PODx3 for all the guitars and played the drums on the keyboards in real time for these songs.

-JKR

[MindOfPagan]

@alexstypes Knew it!

Well done with the keys, then. Not too bad at all. And I just saw that you did something on a bass, which I hadn't previously seen (I play the music then go to a different page).

Solid work, keep it up.

[AIRSOFTandskate]

@alexstypes i have a gio ibenez

[brandon5pennies]

@dbsk8r92 he's playing a guitar that's more like $3000 that's a good ass paul reed smith either a mccarty or a custom 22

[chueey14]

@dbsk8r92 Because what you're hearing here is the studio recording version and not the live audio they are playing here. I think...

[zyphoid666]

Holy shit I can't remember the last time I thought "this is gonna be ass-kickingly awesome" 3 seconds in!! MOAR!!

[stiffed111]

you guys are fucking rocking man,,good stuff me ,peace.

[Wykydtron88]

Reminds me of Protest the Hero, fuckin amazing!

[MexiChris409]

You guys should have an acoustic session someday. Maybe cover Sotto Voce by The Human Abstract?

[IrisGuitar]

The riff that starts at 1:00 is amazing! This song is amazingly epic, and I really hope to see you guys in concert. Still can't get over the power of this song haha :D

[MOTOPSYCHOXXX]

METAL MULISHA !!!!!!!!!!!
