[TheSlashrox]

can u put out nightmare solo

[valdivia562]

whats the guitar you have on the gone video its like a randy rhoads v or something like that isnt it?

[Iscreamingmimi]

WOW. I played your song "Nightmare" the other night on Rock Band and the loading screen said something about you all being in your early teens. And then I listened to the song again, and... how did I not catch it? WOW, though, I mean, you totally have a new fan. I heard "Gone" and that's EXACTLY my style of music. Like Guns 'N Roses, only way cleaner. Stay clean! You guys are awesome clean, just the way you are.

[redneckchick83192]

Crooked X was sweet @ rock on the range this year, go again next year :)

[TheFanOfCrypto138]

[sggibson25]

u guys didnt write THAT!!!! i've heard it before

dont be like kid rock write your own stuff

[SurFacingBoy93]

where? I wanna hear it

[Kaaybeee]

Kid rock did not steal sad but true for a start. It was a deal between him and Metallica and they did several shows together.

Secondly, of course you've heard it before.

Its on Crooked X's new album :D

[forrestfrenchmusic]

hey hey hey, be nice guys. no reason to fight. yes dude we did right that. but at this day and age basically every riff has already been writin but all the greats. But when you find out who has a similar riff let me know i'd like to hear it bro. No need to be hostile. lol

[bulletformybuckeyes]

hey i think he might be talking about mr. brownstone by Guns and Roses its played kinda similar

[Sedgie007]

nah it sounds a little like Velvet Revolver slither :) only a little.

[AntiHero1996]

What kind of RG is that?

[tootoo22]

thanks! :D

[MoremoviesComing]

hey forest, I dont want to sound like an asshole, but your terrible at hand position, watch in the video the way your hand crves, it should be tstraight, your fingers should curve, watch your thumb position.

[forrestfrenchmusic]

sorry man, sometimes what works for me doesnt for other people, such as eddie van haley, watch how he picks, its INSANE! i figure whatever lets you be comfortable and have the most access to your board is what you should do. its about comfortablity and playability for me bro.

[jninja12]

Ibanez's rule I have one myself

[forrestfrenchmusic]

halen*

[MoremoviesComing]

Ya, best eddie has massive hands for his arms, dont get me wrong, the most important thing is how the music sounds (and it sounds great) But you should work On proper hand position for the sake of being a guitarist, then time will come where yo can play so much more, correct yourself now.

[pbmaster123]

Hey did Boomer write the breakdown at the end of Gone?

Hah...it reminds me of the end of All Hope is Gone by slipknot somehow...nice

[LoganInHumboldt]

1. You should do a written vid that shows the tab of music

2. If someone could clarify the second part that would help

[Chizzip22]

Does Josh do videos like this? I can't get seem to get this right on bass.

[krissdvii]

thats a very alexi laiho of children of bodom..style riff..

kool jam

cheers, forrest

kriss

[Sarge034]

[missbrijimenez94]

[ChrisHoferica]
