[breakdownaddict]

why can't they play this whole song!!!

[littlemills77]

does anyone know what makes JB's guitar sound different at 0:17 ?

[NobleNihilist]

@littlemills77 maybe a unique type of palm muting or picking.. that be my guess

[TreeHouseEscape]

@littlemills77 it's actually the other guitarist jumping in with the same note plam muting, JB just starts off the song and then to give it the beefy sound your hearing is actually the other guitarist in same note...

[XanderTheAwesome]

@littlemills77 its not a change in the tone of the guitar, they play something different. look up the tabs or any decent guitar cover.

merdian as an intro to a shot below the belt, that explains it. this song was originally supose to be a step down from standard tuning, on the CD, the did it in drop C. live it sounds like they use it as the lead into a shot below the belt, which is a step down from standard. it all makes sense now!

[sleepingFUCKINgiant]

you are correct my friend ;)

[Skduke52]

[Joshuaemx]

Epic lighting

[deepblack123]

this is in a different key..

[JonnyZywiciel]

it's because they used it as an intro to a shot below the belt, which is in D standard

[Chodda]

No, it's real.

And, Yes, they used 'Meridian' as an intro to 'A Shot Below The Belt'

[DJDFRALEY]

You're right, there are some slight differences, but this is almost identical. Well, I guess it was a good idea to put this to actual use, but did you hear the rest of the song? I mean, Jake even does that same "Here we go" just before ASBTB starts in their live intros, but whatever.

Awesome upload.
