I look forward to every single album you release, and play it until it skips in my player and I'm forced to buy another one.
Your music got me through my teenage and college years. I probably wouldn't have made it through in one piece without being able to rock out to some IE everyday
Shit, I'm glad others came back to this video same as me noticing this riff ended up in "Boiling Point". Dystopia is a great album. I miss Barlow though lol
So who knew that that little riff at the end would be in an album two years later and with a completely different singer. :DD I'm glad it got used because it's a bad ass riff! \m/
@Metal89Head All great players too! Off the top of my head I'd add perhaps Christopher Jonson from Therion and Michael Romeo from Symphony X to the list.
@GuardianThatCantSee -I'm pretty sure he's just improvising that one, which is all the more impressive considering the how elaborate it is, the riff from 0:25 onwards though is from the second half of "The Revealing".
Im trying to think where that last riff is from but shit its Jon Schaffer i wouldn't doubt for a second that he just jammed that out in 10 seconds. FUCK YEA
AWSM, schaffer is a god. lol, my dad never got why i thought schaffer was so good, cause he likes blues. then i showed him this XD. his thoughts about schaffer r now VERY different.

Hah, his riffs actually sound way cooler without all the album production fanciness around it.
Might also be the fact I've heard every album at least 30 times from front to back though :D

@katevenwanifores I noticed that! probably a riff he had in his head for a while, and finally found a use for it.
