Bulb playing "Totla Mad" Through an Engl Invader 100

[alexismorche]

playing in boxers eh ? I see how this shit is.

[DieSuperHigh]

DUDE, dem short shorts broham

[MegaIbanezguy]

Only real badasses can play Totla Mad in their boxers ;)

[fizzlefresh14]

what tuning is this in?

[jcshayden1]

@fizzlefresh14 I'm not 100% sure but it sounds to me like it is the same tuning as Zyglrox, which is Drop C with the lowest C dropped to A. So, from lowest to highest AGCFAD.

[fizzlefresh14]

@jcshayden1 yeah i ended up figuring it out, thanks tho

[servinyallchickens]

Would recommend this guitar? is it worth buying cause i'm thinking of the prestige model

[bazty182]

I'm sorry, but I'd love to see you playing an August Burns Red song, I mean, It would be nice haha

[iamwheel]

Youre so fucking good man.......Teach me your ways.......

[msherman888]

So you wear polos when you sleep?

[jcshayden1]

@msherman888 wait.... you don't? Queer.

[GeorgeKushSr]

Those are some sexy Mocha legs

[Ganymedify]

I came for the music, i stayed for Bulb's legs.

[M4zterWrath]

are u in your underpants?

[tehpeasant]

@M4zterWrath What do you think?

[NobleNihilist]

why does his left quadricep look like lance armstrongs......

[Epieth]

I didn't even notice he wasn't wearing any pants.

[JonasBGuitar]

@Epieth

wait...what?

Are you messing with my mind?

[Epieth]

@JonasBGuitar Totly!

[JonasBGuitar]

@Epieth

You said you didn't notice it, but still said that he didn't wear any!

That means you somehow managed to miss it while also seeing it... oh nevermind.

[massivebig1]

mish u r probably my main influence for guitar. your crazy at what u do man keep it up

[blay5656]

who likes short shorts

[eKotRot]

what is your chords ?

[DontPieceMe221]

Great playing on all of your videos! And thanks for releasing an instrumental version of this album.

[Bebopopotamus]

What's your writing process like? Do you hear the finished product in your head first and then write that, or is it just something that comes together part after part?

[tohtorigyro]

HAIRY LEGS FTW!!!!

[DB73093]

Are vader cabs bright or dark sounding?

[themetallicat86]

@DB73093

Articulate is a better term. They're really balanced and can be bright or dark depending on how you set your amp. Personally, they're my favorite and most useful 4x12 I've ever heard.

[Periphery]

@DB73093 They are pretty dark and kinda flubby in the low end, so i got rid of it shortly after this vid...

[DB73093]

@Periphery Have you ever tried a Krank Cab? They're bright and Tight sounding.

[Periphery]

@DB73093 I have tried several, unfortunately i think they were among the worst sounding cabs i have tried so far, and the metal grille would mean they would be horrendous to mic up as well because of the reflections.

[DB73093]

@Periphery Damn. I get a Killer tone out of mine. I've compared it to many cabs and it always sounds tighter and more aggressive. Have you guys ever played a Marshall JVM? They got the so called "Djent" thing goin on big time.

[pisnahuj10]

@Periphery So what cab do you have now ? I'm buying engl amp and don't know what to pair it up with. I don't like engl cabs, because they are just too tight for my liking. I think the logical thing would be to get some kind of mesa , but I've never heard any mesa cabs, so I'm stuck. btw I play metal, if it wasn't clear already.

[CodyWalker5]

@DB73093 randallXL cabs are very good as well as mesa imo!

[ScaleTheSandwich]

I can see his bulb.

[FuneralFragz]

WE WEAR SHORT SHORTS!!!

[jdmimport13]

Totla "Sikth" Mad

[DeBuraInc01]

dude...Misha..ur picking is soooooo tight... im not talkin about ur tone, but ur picking...

Looking at the begining of this vid, nothing is wasted...i mean you dont move the pick far off the string...nor does your hand barely moves at all...

big movement seems to be an issue for me...along with all of the following: Playing guitar...lol

[kashguitar]

Dude; put some pants on; your thall is hanging out!

[guitarfan149]

music doesn't pants AND NEITHER DO I!

[BlastbeatsRus]

Is this guitar really good?

[VorpalBob]

But why u totla mad though??

[LynchburgLife]

Misha should start advertising for Hanes boxer briefs. He seems to be able to shred without any discomfort, snags, or pulls in his underwear.



[rocketboy2011]

Hey man my buddy ethan and i are coming to see your show in morrow, OH sep 27th!!! cant wait!

[chrisrocks2010]

i thought you guys used 7 strings? if so, what do you tune the 6 string to?

[mistermacdude]

@chrisrocks2010 They do. 6 string tunings vary from Drop C, to BbGCFAD (Totla Mad/Frak The Gods), to AGCFAD (Zyglrox).

[AndrewA721]

I love the cut aways on his guitar!

[thecwordguy]

I fiend your riffage man! Has been an inspiration to me as I have not heard such a thing in such a context before. I was happy to hear that the drums stay constant the whole way through the heavy riff at 0:56. On the album it bugs me when the drums do that polyrhythmic thing. That riff is money and the groove should not be effed with! (in my opinion). Thanks!

[syntraediace]

loving the boxers man.



[VICODINES1]

OMFG....I am sooooo glad I went to see Fair To Midland @ The Underground in Mesa.....if I hadn't I never would have heard you guys play live. Best accidental discovery of a band in my life. You guys are playing the stuff I have been hearing in my head, but havent had the ability to play. Absolutely amazing. Thank you.

[martinlutherkingIII]

hey man I'm in a bit of a dilema, I really like the look of this Ibanez, but I see you have switched from this guitar over the years. I also am looking at a JP6 and have thought about getting a Mayones. I play a lot of heavier stuff, and I have other guitars for other styles of music. What would you suggest broski??

[Periphery]

@martinlutherkingIII Mayones is INCREDIBLE!!

[martinlutherkingIII]

@Periphery they look fucking awesome. I was thinking about a reigus 7 string with the yellow finish, but idk yet. thanks a lot man

[mfcfbro]

@Periphery I could have sworn you said mayonnaise. hahaha

[SynysterSte]

oh Misha you so carazy :D

[ibanezRG93]

hey misha you supa cool dude i like you and i think that nd me should chill sometime you know what im sayin G? maybe we could get an iced beverage or somtin huh huh

[xXxXmusicvideoXxXx]

@ibanezRG93 i lol'd

[eyeflow9]

engl invader sucks balls... axe fx ultra and atomic all the way.

i love the fact that this guy produces their albums through a cheap presonus interface. proof that technique wins over studio budget everytime (to a point of course). this guy is like, the vernon reid of our time. fuckin sick.

[ZBlackmore]

@eyeflow9 axe fx wins but, invader sucks? really?

[TORTEX2008]

periphery must release instrumentals versions of their albums!!! or even better the tracks!!!!!!! it would be beautifull to hear

[svehenen]

hey bulb, i require your assistance for a short second. the part at 2:17-2:24, you got any tabs for that? only thing I can't tab out :(

[ProtestTheBureau]

Is that solo from 00:39 to 00:50 not a guitar? Might be a stupid question but I never see anyone cover it.

[Periphery]

@ProtestTheBureau it is a guitar, i just hadnt settled on a solo when i did this video, and it ended up being a rather crazy guest solo on the album by my friend Nolly from Red Seas Fire.

[ProtestTheBureau]

@Periphery

Haha yeah it is rather crazy but awesome nonetheless

[thisismy1strodeo]

@Periphery Red Seas Fire is awesome.

[jimmah01]

Just had a look at this fabled tab that's been going around and it's amazing to see how much all these mindless sheep will follow a Guitar Pro file that's wrought with inaccuracies. Good on any of you for trying to play this track, but FFS guys, what happened to trusting *your own ears*? People are changing so much of what Misha plays here in their covers - it's totally bastardised. Practically everyone is doing 6>7>6 instead of 6>8>6 in those octave slides let alone the notes in the main riff..

[KreonTV]

Its really cool that you are answering comments here. Just wanted to say that you're awesome. You are definitely one of my idols when it comes to guitarplaying.

Any tips for a young fella to keep practicing?

Thanks in advance,

Olivier, guitarist of kreon.

[MrDudeface23]

has anyone noticed hes doing this video in his boxers like the fuckin BOSS he is?

[Kantorounet]

u all TOTAL MAD

[AuralOverdose]

Do you guys ever listen to any Paul Gilbert? I'm just curious because I love both of you guys and if you ever wanted a guest guitarist for an album or song, I'm sure that he would be happy to help. While I personally don't know him, he replies to emails and is a very friendly person. He could get you guys a little more widespread recognition.

[Travybakersk8er]

lol, who doesnt practice in their boxers?

[littlewahoo27]

boxers and a polo. you sir, have quite the style.

[SnoopGrinder]

Nice ending note!

[Pallka23]

Engl..... cool)

[martinlutherkingIII]

I'm sure you already know this, but you guys need to break through man your music is so awesome and technical and your style is unheard of bro. fucking rage

[brodiebroot4l]

Misha plays this so smooth :) Wish my cover was as good as this :(

[3amsleep]

hey misha, what string gauge are you using on that 6th?, sounds really tight for a low A#

[CassDarkwing]

Boxercore FTW

[KODFISHdaBAWSS]

First song i heard from Bulb/Periphery and i have been hooked ever since.

[Darthidiot123]

WOW, NICE SHORTS!!!

[idkfa94]

Has Misha ever used a Douglas or Agile 7-string before?

[BLACKanimebrother]

I cant get over how good your chord voicing can be. and i have been wanting to learn this song for a while now lol. Nice job.

[semilei]

can not deny it, to just hear you sing in your mind hahaha

[HeyIamTheJay]

Best guitar partiture ever.

Misha, thanks for doing your best)

[FreakGuitar92]

why are you tapping with your forefinger? i learned it with my middlefinger, can you pls explain me? :)

[iclipseco]

@FreakGuitar92

he uses a style of picking that requires both his pointer finger and middle...you get a lot more power out of a pick but u lose a lot of control (even misha says he switches to a normal picking style when doing more intricate stuff).

so when he taps he just takes his pointer finger off of the pick to tap while holding the pick with his middle finger and thumb.

[jsabo1929]

LAWRENCE, KS IN YOUR FUTURE...!!!!!!!!!111

[stoltobot]

maybe I'm a little bit old but wtf is djent? Periphery is a sweet band but did the media invent a new label to tar them with or something? Are there more of these bands? What on earth does it mean? I'm with The Boss on this one, "it's still rock'n'roll to me".

[VladTheImpaler123]

Yo misha, i was just wondering if you could recomend any amps for under $1000 dollars that can get a really rediculously tight djenty sound? i'm really getting into the sound and the set up i'm using at the minute just can't hack it at all man. much respect.

[stoltobot]

@VladTheImpaler123 get a cheap head and run a modeller thru the power amp, such as RP-1000, line6. Either that or save your pennies and buy the real equipment.

[rgmslayerg]

damn nice...

[THISiSHOWIFOUNDER]

nice shorts

[spacemonkeyzass]

Misha.. Come to Dayton Ohio PLEASE! We need Periphery here.

[Brintman]

Bulb is such a goddamn beast. Who the hell would dislike this video??

9 people are Totla Mad I guess :)

[Ureyeuh]

@XoXLeviathanXoX

He's not kidding at all. I've learned this simple fact through trying to write different styles of music.

This band has definitely inspired me to continue writing in layers. Finding 3 guitarists to be in a band with is so hard though...

[tairi2009]

this don't make no g__damn sense!! this is so djenty i grit my teeth.

p.s. bulb, sell me your boxers.......no homo..>_>

[5hopebellj]

Hey anyone know the tuning of this song?

[urinalcakesaretasty]

@5hopebellj its drop c with the bottom string down to a Bb

[doggybag71]

Nice cover dude! Ceep up the practice and you will almost be as good as the guys in Periphery :D

derp derp :P

[XUsernamePendingX]

DO RACECAR TOO!

[XUsernamePendingX]

Do Ow My Feelings!

[LPGDICP]

Hey Bulb, Nice knee cap brah.

[Deadlezz]

what is this guitar tuned to?...it looks like an odd tunning

[davey2244]

DEM SHORTS

[alexAENESIDEManders]

hi bulb, learned to know your band some time ago and absolutely love the music you make. haven't stopped listening to it.

i have allways wanted a invader, but i have never heard an invader in any demo video that sounded this good, so can you tell me some tricks to achieve this tone on the engl?

[olheiser01]

haha I didn't even notice the boxers until I read the description. I was just too concentrated on the amazing guitar play!

[Askelbiff]

What string gauge are u using ?

[funknotik]

Just got an RGA121 on ebay it's the best guitar I've ever played. What string gauge do you use on it for that drop C/A tuning? I have 10 -52 right now and it feels a little loose.

[shdowsfll]

bulb, if music was an arms race, ud be tony stark

[checkercrew]

bulb, keep shredding. if you ever stop ill hunt you down

[EdelRecordsRockt]

Thumbs UP for boxers xD

[Incidious2]

is he wearing boxers? lol

[Bronsonbrotality]

Is that a custom ibanez or did you bye it? and how much was it!?

[walshy0001]

what's the tuning for these periphery songs?

[mmhmmm2]

I love how your guys songs is created by personal events in your life. Is the lyrics in the songs your guys metaphysical beliefs?

[stonefosho]

plays with his middle finger, i guess thats the key to being a true djentleman

[osnad]

With that clothes on you look like a better version of Charlie Harper

[sirsamanbaia]

i want this ibanez so bad D:

[drumkrazy1984]

Since I've listened to your songs, I've progressed as a guitarist. Seriously dude.

[Matthiasknorke]

why didn't you play the solo? :(

[jossrules123456789]

HELLO misha i was wondering will you guys ever come to brighton england thanks bro

joss

[voodoo778]

@jossrules123456789 They're in London next month :)

[Gonjir]

your awesome

[AndyAngelZ]

are u in ur boxers?? LOL

[tehpeasant]

Ha.. today I was thinking about the name "totla mad"... I also thought it was a typo (maybe even on purpose)

[Slofenwag0n]

anyone notice that hes not wearing pants? haha SEXY

[LemonMerigueTie]

half way through watching this i realised my hand was in my pants ._.

[shenkeey]

@LemonMerigueTie haha xD

[Umaiketsu]

@LemonMerigueTie Stupid Sexy Bulb-thigh.

[ObscureBeast]

Was a recording of Chris doing vocals to this song ever made? I pretty much have all your material minus any recordings of Chris. Keep making great tracks. Even most of the demos from years back sound great.

[Periphery]

@ObscureBeast we demoed some ideas with him when he was in the band but never released that stuff, it wasnt anything worth posting

[ObscureBeast]

@Periphery Thanks for replying. It's just great to have all the material to see how each song has been morphed, like Icarus Lives, Eureka, and listening to all the different guitar tones and lyrics changed.

[xNekoOtaku]

@Periphery Harsh

[frontsideflipem]

this video was posted on my birthday

[JacksonShredder777]

those chords at 1:13 are melting my brain.

[MrXcitemont]

wanna sell me your guitar bulb? :D

[ILOVERACHELBROD]

Holy shit 1:09 is a TRIP

[Periphery]

@wotof0k Nah its regular scale

[thesilentcircus789]

Hey Misha, what the hell does 'totla mad' mean?

[CaptainPie5]

@thesilentcircus789 its a typo. it was supposed to be total mad.

[Periphery]

@CaptainPie5 It is most definitely NOT a typo. Rather its an intentional misspelling of something i saw on the internet once where this guy who had a less than spectacular grasp of the english language responded angrily with "U R TOTLA MAD!" to a certain situation, and i thought that was hilarious.

[thesilentcircus789]

@Periphery Haha right on! i bet it gets annoying replying to vids posted years ago. lolz love your shit bro hope to see you on the rode someday.

[thesilentcircus789]

@Periphery road* the irony..

[CaptainPie5]

@Periphery lol sry! guess its best not to assume. i just figured since spencer calls it total mad when you guys play live.

[Periphery]

@CaptainPie5 Yeah haha since its an intentional misspelling we still say it the correct way, its funnier to me that way haha!

[arrestedshrimp]

@Periphery hey where do you come up with all your wacky song names, like frak the gods or zyglrox

[guitarfan149]

@Periphery u should have kept Chris... Spencer sucks

[GaLiF94]

you're using a 6 strings guitar.. and you are also better than lots of math metal bands which uses 7 or 8 string guitars.. really awesome dude..

[Periphery]

@GaLiF94 Ah well keep in mind half of the Periphery album is 7 string material as well!

[yooslippp]

Wait, wait, wait......

is this THE bulb?!??

[mario4526]

hey bulb what strings do you use maybe you could help me i play in drop b flat what strings should i go with if you could help me out that would great and oh yeah you know your a amazing guitar player i dont need to tell you that lol

[XoXLeviathanXoX]

You guys fucking killed it at state theater in St. Pete. Do you have any tips for writing techy djent ? It'd be really appreciated :)

[Flashifyable]

@XoXLeviathanXoX That show was sick bro.

Could have been more people there but it was still good.

[Periphery]

@XoXLeviathanXoX Dont try to write any style, just write what comes out naturally, otherwise it will sound forced, and that rarely sounds good imo.

[DavidRayT]

@Periphery Ah. Great advice in theory. Very hard for me to pull off though. :( I always sound like Coheed or some shitty metalcore band. lol

[DemonLlama25]

@DavidRayT

then just mess around with those ideas till you like them that's what I do

[DavidRayT]

@DemonLlama25 I just realized my writing's GREATLY influenced by tone, and my most natural riffs come from writing on my acoustic. Interesting.

[DemonLlama25]

@DavidRayT I had ideas that started acoustic and sounded better with distortion and visa versa

[DavidRayT]

@DemonLlama25 Yeah, it sounds better or diff electric. But I write better I think unplugged or acoustic. lol

[IbanezRocks60]

@XoXLeviathanXoX Ive seen a band called Leviathan at Neptunes lounge once... is that what your name is referring to?

[XoXLeviathanXoX]

@IbanezRocks60 haha nah man that was just my old gt on xbox live.

[DeathMonsterZ]

Man, I never knew about you until my brother told me about you. Now I wish you had more songs. He got me hooked. A cover of some I Am Abomination would be cool, though.

[0pethMetal]

Love starting mornings like that, except I wish I could play 1/16 as good as you

[drumkrazy1984]

What is the tuning you use? My friend Brandon showed me, and then I fucked it all up.. Thanks man.

[zekeLindgren]

waaaait waiiit wait. second that. The bottom string is double dropped? the others a still jsut a step down from standard? thats cool man, never seen that before.

[zekeLindgren]

damn, drop Bb? why didnt you swap over to the 7 on this? just too cozy with the 6 string layout on this or something?

[Claytons91]

What scale do you write in?

[eduardomazza]

.-/// Я∆DﺍЮПLעMΞTΔL \\\-. <--- copy and past on FACEBOOK and BECOME a FAN \m/

[svehenen]

tuning is drop B. I think!

[D3ltaForce]

9 people clicked "dis i like"

[young0wylde0child]

ii heard you guys stopped using amp heads and are now using only effects processors. why is this?(if its true)
