@skateenough These guys not having vocals is what makes them unique man. If they got a vocalist it would totally kill the vibe. These guys have fucking soul. In my opinion at least.
Dude, Just heard about you guys tonight and damn, this is some of the most creative and simply awesome music I've heard in a while!!! Also that solo that the one guitarist does in my final despair is insane!!!! My life would be complete if I could write shit like this!
CRIKEY! Here we see a wild CHON in it's natural habitat. Native to the rain forests of California, It's diet consists of nothing but marijuana and sweet jams. What a beautiful creature.
I really do not get this at all. So many views, so many fans. The music is obviously better than anything else out there at the moment as far as this genre goes. BUT STILL you're unsigned? WHY?!
What kills me is that they play $5-$10 shows when I'm paying twice if not three times that to see bands that I don't give a shit about. I wanna be in Cali for their next show :[
You guys are seriously the ONE band I'm looking forward to the most where new material being released is concerned. You're like a modern-day Racer X, insofar as both of you being insanely capable guitarists who compliment each other well and have your own distinguishable phrasing. Plus, the music you guys write is very uplifting and approachable. It's like... happy shred or something, but not cheesy. And I even find my girlfriend has picked up on a couple of rhythmic parts in your tunes! Dope.
this makes Cynic, Scale The Summit, Animals As Leaders, etc. almost every popular progressive metal band sound boring in comparison to you guys, when are you guys making an album?
I was trying to play something I made and I kept tripping over the frets and everything and was getting frustrated, so i searched this video just to remind myself how much of a pussy I was being hah.
dude both of you guys are sick, you are a huge inspiration to me, i like how you're guitar work is technical and fast but yet its still smooth and relaxing you are one of the few guitarist that I've seen that could pull that off. how long have you been playing the guitar and did you take any lessons? and thank you for making these videos bro
haha its like you guys are playing along and then all of a sudden its like your playing 2 different songs that match up perfectly together and would probably open up a portal into another dimension given the right circumstances
so damn epic! you guys fuckin rock! I love both of your bands but if you threw a singer on top of CHON's stuff the result would be extraordinarily bad ass! Still love it without though! Keep up the good work guys, lookin forward to hearing this new shattttt of yours!
@b04rdpr0ducti0n5 That kind of shit's stupid man, especially in a band environment. Ego's are terrible to put up with, and it doesn't matter who's better, because they can obviously both play and match what one or the other is pulling off.
If I had a person that could play like this around me that would make the same kind of music, I would love that. But ego's are always in play sadly. Music isn't a race.
@adioskaterdude999 That seems to be a new solo for the newer version of the song. I don't think they would put two solos at the same time. It would be too much and displeasing for some. These two solos are too different to be played at the same time.
I wish you guys had vocals. :'l
