[rockworldrules]

@rodgerskid01 please give this comment as many thump ups as possible

[raunchy2damax]

Hey great playing very innovative.

I was wondering if you played through an amp on this song or used an amp simulator on your computer or perhaps an amp sim into your amp? Im just asking because your tone is pretty great

[jonnybarvo]

@raunchy2damax I beleive I was using my Axe-FX. It's basically an amp simulator plugged into my PC

[SurfinOnLand]

@jonnybarvo what? I know your not asian. I said Im surprised your not asian.

[VisualVales]

Great job and explanation. Which Schecter are you using?

[jonnybarvo]

@VisualVales thanks. jeff loomis signature.

[pitcrewsk8er2189]

incomming death.

[000Z9A]

love that you've put your own style in the solo to..metal influences and stuff..

Check out Skrillex - with your friends (long drive) and listen to the kinda solo thing of it..would be awesome if you could do that on guitar :d

[000Z9A]

holy...

Awesome bro :d

[ThePremiumGoods]

[Darkvalentine333]

i really enjoyed this cover

[DollyCakes16]

.....Marry... Me? ANywhooo Great fucking job man! Keep'em coming!

[TheLemonKiller]

I say that this was very well done. I to have done redone the song metal style entirely by ear but minus a whammy bar. Only problem no band. If you guys like this you should check out 331ERock and his covers along with Pinn Panelle version of this song. Again great job on the cover.

[samick94]

any tabs?? plzzzz?

[iTzShots]

Oh.... My.... God. Best guitar cover if this song I have ever seen. :D

"Exceedingly Japanese"

[JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Oh and nice cover btw! Really well done.

[JayFFAFAlesanaES]

There's pleanty of pedals that you could use instead of a whammy bar. I personally don't like them because they stick out so much.

[cRuiZerC]

Tabs mate!

[TheGermansoccerteam]

TABS???

[Jackrabbit0984]

[eeik5150]

I'm not usually a fan of someone overlaying guitar over a great song and I look forward to ripping people who do this to pieces. You did a very worthy job. Kudos to you.

[RevilationGuitar91]

[jonnybarvo]

I'm hoping Skrillex will watch this at some point... He ignored me on Twitter haha.

[TomekSCyrek]

I hate this kind of music, but.... that was awesome !! :)

PS. watch my new vid :)

Greetings, Tomek

[EllasGuitarist]

really impressive, I never would have thought of using the whammy in that way good job dude

[zuueLL]

I've never liked this kind of music but this one was pretty good.

[Leeroy2304]

Sounds really great!

I think the tuning is a bit to low - but besides that, good, enjoyed it!

[Curbst0mped]

why the fuck wasnt this in my sub box

[AleX0002]

I hope he sees this

[xxc3lld4m4gexx]

i wish skrillex would die in a fucking fire..but you did a pretty impressive cover sir :D

[RR24Shredder]

Skrillex must be proud of you!!

[MrEvilcookiemonster]

Sick axe dude! :P

[assfuck37]

makin' me want that guitar even more now! :O

[zpwnsyew]

This gave me an erection...

[jonnybarvo]

@zpwnsyew sorry?

[xAxBeVaNxBx]

@zpwnsyew ROFL

[FreddieDesigns]

Sweet! Would love to hear it without the original in the background though..

[endoftheline9]

I actually almost did this too, but I doubt I could have done this as well as you did.

[FreakKitchen94]

how the fu... SERIOUSLY, how do you make the "WHÖÖB WHÖÖB" so perfect!?

[UnleashedmusicTV]

thats crazy :)

[unoffended]

I wish you had turned the song down just a bit so the guitar was a little more audible. This cover was still cool though. If you could upload a version with the guitar a little louder or the song quieter I would appreciate that.

[AlexiSkwisJGMetal]

O man, I still remember when I just sit here and watched your holy wars video to learn more about metal, now you have super awesome skills and can kick ass in anyway:)

[sceneaestheticgirl97]

awsome!

[warion123]

awesome

[llTrUrAnll]

1:50 TOTAL BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!! TOTAL RESPECT <333

[456and7strings]

Maybe I'm just being picky, but you should have turned your level up a little higher or turned the song down :\

[KylleSmyle]

Pretty damn sweet there mate XD

[coleeo23]

wow not what i expected but pretty cool on guitar. funny alot of the videos arent even on the video...

[METROIDKILLERX]

Apologies? I thought it was pretty badass!

[jonnybarvo]

@METROIDKILLERX thanks dude!

[PermanentEdge]

@jonnybarvo

totally badass! :O

[RoathRipper]

hey, can u explain how ur generating those bassy divebombs? is it some patch triggered by pedal?

[jonnybarvo]

@RoathRipper goto the end of the video. I explain

[charliepeachable]

is it possible to have an eargasm? :p

[jonnybarvo]

@charliepeachable theres a first for everything :)

[charliepeachable]

@jonnybarvo what about seconds?

[jonnybarvo]

@charliepeachable I would advise against having more than 3 eargasms per day. could be dangerous

[robostomo1]

i wouldve never thought about the wobbles as whammy bar drops, nice stuff, pretty innovative, earned a like and favorite mi amigo

[jonnybarvo]

@robostomo1 bass wobbles! That's what they're called, I couldn't remember. And thanks!

[Orthinology]

Fucking brutal, a mix-up of my most beloved genres.

[jonnybarvo]

@Orthinology brutal in a good way, right? Haha, I'm anticipating alot of polarized comments on this video. But hey, it was s fun challenge.

[Orthinology]

@jonnybarvo

Expect very mixed opinions. This is new completely to the kids :]

You did an amazing job, no doubt.

[thralldeathh]

would u put up any tabs possibly.... i hate this kinda music, but you made this pretty sick

[jonnybarvo]

@thralldeathh hmmm, tabs will be difficult because most if it is divebombs, whammy bar shakes and harmonic squeals. And I have no idea how to tab all the timing for that. The main theme would be easy since it's just notes, but the rest is pretty impossible to tab.

[thralldeathh]

@jonnybarvo yeah i get where your coming from haha. would u be able to do just the notes? i could figure out the rest of the divebombs from watching it over and over... Loomis Signatures ftw, i got mine signed by him

[jonnybarvo]

@thralldeathh you lucky bastard! how did you get it signed?

[thralldeathh]

@jonnybarvo In Vancouver they had a meet N greet for free at a night of there concert. couple months before they broke up.. so i got it signed by the whole band minus jim. and pictures taken with. etc.etc...

[jonnybarvo]

@thralldeathh oh my god, I just realised Nevermore broke up.... I completely forgot. Now I'm sad :( I only managed to see them once in toronto at the Opera House. Was absolutely amazing! Damn your guitar may be worth some money one day haha

[thralldeathh]

@jonnybarvo at least you got to see them... i had the worst luck.. when they came for the signing, the venue was 19+ and im 17... and then they came again to a all ages.. a week before the concert they broke up

[grievous56]

I fucking hate Skrillex and his music. To me it is just immature and boring filth. The good old step like DMZ, Kryptic Minds, Burial, Clubroot and others is something I do respect.

This, however, was pretty badass. Great work!!!

[jonnybarvo]

@grievous56 only reason I like skrillex is because of that song he did with Korn. Get Up. That song fucking kiiiiiiiiilllllllssssss. I can't get into any other dubstep unless it's really heavy and, well... metal. Any recommendations are welcome, but don;t give me any stupid dance music garbage

[Dimebag08RIP]

@jonnybarvo This was fuckin' badass dude! I'd be more into the Bar 9 sort of step but the ingenuiety of this gives me wood. Was this all done by ear?

[jonnybarvo]

@Dimebag08RIP I feared the day that my videos would give guys wood haha. And ya, all figured out by ear. How else would I have done it? Guitar tabs for dubstep songs do not exist

[Dimebag08RIP]

@jonnybarvo Haha yeah stupid question on my part, would've figured maybe some sheet music or anything would be out for this.
