  • Terribly sub par for the other videos this channel has posted. What a shame. Sorry guys, I couldn't live up to that guitar let alone this channel.

  • Probably the most intense guitar playing I've seen in a while.

    What a joke!

  • Out of the good Line 6 amps they could of used... The Vetta, Flextone, HD147... They pick the Spider Valve... WHY!?

  • It's a shame this band lost all my faith after Karmacode. I think that's the name of that album. I didn't even particularly like that album,.

  • Awful tone. Mainly due to Line 6 amps. They may as well plug directly into guitar rig...

  • It's not about how fast or technical you can be, it's about how good are your songs! And this song pretty much sucks big time! It's boring and predictable!

  • Lacuna Coil is a band where the vocals are the focal point. Yes, these riffs are simple but they're SUPPOSED to be because they're meant to compliment the vocals (which they do well). The talent here is not about how much of a rock star shredder you can be, but how well you can work your role as a guitarist in with the rest of the band in order to MAKE A QUALITY SONG.

  • It sounded good, but their guitar playing isn't impressive.

  • hard to judge after listening to tosin abasi..

  • i love there sound. wouldn't mind knowing what guitar they normally use??

  • Anyone can play in the same key for 3 minutes.

  • why so many dislikes???????

  • The simplicity of the song is all well and good, but I really wasn't impressed by the tone of the pickups in this video either. I really think it's to do with the players, though.

  • -.- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­z

  • Do you think the guy with the natural finish guitar gets bored..?

  • Its sounds like a 2:37 intro

  • this song will never be on rock band.....

  • These guys aren't in it to be accepted for you guys, they are in there to make music with their band mates.

    But seriously talk about lazy guitarists.

  • I kinda wanna klick the dislike button just becouse of the Line 6 amps!

  • @Perfixesus They're the Bogner hybrid's. I had one for a while and they're probably the best sounding amps from Line 6 you're going to get.

  • @Krauser1226 Might so be, but i still don't think that Line6 amps does anyone justice if it isn't like the first amp or something. but the POD series are awesome, but i guess the hybrids beats the crap out of the spider amps!! I've used them, they suck!!! XD

  • @MDSphinx i hope one day you will learn that good songwriting is far more important than blaze up the guitarneck...

    and Lacuna Coil are very good at writing songs that flow well...and spellbound is one of the best

  • lol i feel sorry for the guy on the right, playing the same thing the whole time XD but its a pretty cool song once you add in the singing n stuff, but just watching the guitars, it's kinda boring not gonna lie

  • I don't even know who they are.

  • @Ellinarkkari

    Tosin is actually pretty interesting with his style and has a very experimental view on music.

  • It's not terrible but it's not great either.It's just too repetitive for my taste.

  • @MDSphinx Yeah but why have your own custom guitar built if you dont want to change anything on stepens model? Alot of people use stephens model, chris garza, devin townsend, the one guy from threat signal (cant think of his name) just to name a few. Have yet to hear a bad thing about stephens signature guitar yet.

  • @18266609

    Chris Garza now uses Schecter guitars. :d

    Also the Signature guitar from Stephen that's an LTD isn't really "his guitar". It's just a copy of his real one. He uses ESP's that are probably made outta the best materials.

  • @TurkeyTuck Yeah i know. Its the one shaped like a tele. Im just saying i know a great deal of people who used his guitar. And yeah i do know that most likely there are a few better things on stephens guitar. As for wood im pretty sure everythings the same. So the differences are minor.

  • @18266609 chris garza has his own sig now

  • @death4deathcore yeah the one that looks like a tele. looks awesome.

  • @18266609

    Chris Garza uses his own Schecter sig now.

  • @TurkeyTuck yeah the silverburst one shaped like a telecaster.

  • I don't care if a riff is simple or complex. If it's good, it's good. This is just a boring riff, simple as that.

  • I wish more people were as smart as the two top comments.

  • Everything but the Line 6s in this video was good.

  • What they're playing has heart... simple but effective.

    I do recall a small band called Black Sabbath doing just that... Simple riffs that everyone wishes they wrote.

  • Listen, this is why this has 120 dislikes. There's no backing track for this, that's why it sounds so plain. On the other EMG vids, there are the backing tracks for the songs they are playing, which makes it sounds more like a complete song.

  • Hey, you all ,,technical dudes"...Listen to the original song,it has a solo,they didn´t play it there...

  • booooooooooooooooring

  • I have a finger right here.. for everyone who disliked this, fuck you all

  • @sanntiimusic Well done Thankyou

  • I wondered why it sounded like poop then I saw the amps.

  • Love Lacuna Coil.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow alot of dislikes. I would assume because of the simplicity of the riff. Sometimes sounding good doesent mean you have to shred or come up with a technical riff. Good musicians know when to be conservative and lay back. I think this songs awesome. The guitars fit it perfect.

  • @18266609 yeah but this doesnt go anywhere. it all feels like an intro. and an average one....

  • @metalmandan9 Well in my personal opinion i think the song sounds awesome when all is said in done. Yes just the guitars itself are kind of average. The song as a whole sounds good though. There are alot of bands out there that if you pulled just the guitars out it would sound kind of plain but when everything else is put together it sounds great and compliments each other. Thats why i said theyre conservative guitarist. They wrote it for the song rather than for the wow factor.

  • @18266609 sorry mate but this video is about guitars and the sound... they should have picked another song or something...

  • @metalmandan9 well they didnt, but hey theres plenty of other videos to watch if you dont like this one.

  • @metalmandan9 which i didnt. i shall go watch some others haha

  • @18266609 i'm pretty sure its because lacuna coil sucks not because of the riff

  • @TheCollisionofworlds well then why you looking up their videos if they suck? troll.

  • @18266609 people on the internet really need to learn how to use troll correctly. i wasnt trolling they really do fucking suck. and i clicked on it by accident looking for the christian olde wolbers video so fuck off

  • @TheCollisionofworlds You are a troll. You're on a lacuna coil video saying they suck for no other reason than to start shit. If they suck why are they endorsed by emg? If you dont like it dont watch it. Thats why emg posted a ton of videos because not everyone likes the same thing. And you wanna tell me to fuck off, yet you're the one who came to me posting stuff. So go take your trolling anitcs to a star wars video keyboard warrior.

  • @TheCollisionofworlds

    Dude...the band name is the first thing in the title of the video. So you're not just stirring shit you're an absolute retard at the same time.

    And no I don't like Lacuna Coil but I like this sound. So I'm not blindly defending them. So leave them alone and go away....you TROLL.

  • @18266609 I know exactly what you mean, a lot of times gutiarists overplay everything jsut for the sake of being "technical." That said, I disliked this video. I just didn't like the song.

  • @18266609 I agree.

  • @raulox71 bout time some1 agreed, i been getting alot of shit for my comments. thanks

  • @18266609 You are wellcome :-)

  • @18266609 Good musicians can also make music that's on a greater creative level than a 2 year old child. That being said, it's clean and well executed, but it's boring as hell.

  • Steph must be proud ^^

  • @praetorian18 agreed, so many people use his signature model.

  • I don´t give a fuck if it isn´t guitar raping. It´s awesome. I fully respect Tosin, but sometimes, simplicity is all you need

  • @Ellinarkkari So by your logic Lady gaga is the most amazing musician in the world? I'm just so dumbfounded that anyone can use popularity as a credential. Not that everything popular is bad but holy shit are you dumb. Also I know it's the internet and not English class but could you maybe not type like a 10 year old?

  • @Ellinarkkari So by your logic Lady gaga is the most amazing musician in the world? I'm just so dumbfounded that anyone can use popularity as a credential.

  • @Ellinarkkari And your infinitely dull response was also boring. Good try though. There are plenty of simple things that are beautiful but being terrible musicians is not one of them.

  • @Ellinarkkari Yeah but yours is wrong.

  • @Ellinarkkari No it's boring. Just to follow the chain of truth abasi has more soul in one note then they have in that entire song. Even though it's just 3 notes over and over again.

  • @cocoadog5 I think lacuna coil is more based to singing..? They are not trying to be guitar gods.

  • @Manmadegod313 Which don't get me wrong is totally fine. But why the fuck are they sponsoring GUITAR pickups? That's all I'm saying the singer is actually very good.

  • Zzzzzzzzz. They need some sqire tele's to go with those line6 shitboxes. Real men find the REAL tube head they love and then buy it... and in some cases get sponsored and get a wall of them to use on tour.... LINE6 AMPS ARE FOR KIDS AND SHITTY COVER BANDS.

  • Why so many dislikes? This sounds good! Why do people always expect guitar videos to be all shred bullshit? Grow up.

  • i like the solo

  • verry good..... yyeeaaaaahhhhhh metal

  • @ZachForgives I'm very simple when it comes to guitars though. Super-strat body, 24 frets, all tuning pegs on the same side of the headstock, and I'm happy. I'm not too fond of crazy shapes and stuff. haha

  • I want a Stephen Carpenter ESP so bad. That one with the high gloss natural finish is gorgeous.

  • They're both playing Stephen Carpenter signature guitars.

    That's fricken awesome.

  • Lacuna Coil for life.

  • Comment removed

  • Incredibly boring... A beginner would do better after 3 months of playing seriously. How can such shit be produced? They're not even ashamed of what they're playing: you guys rule for assuming being so bad

  • all you fags saying this is shit can suck my dick its a fucking catchy lick. go wank over your shredding techniques or cum over your 9999999 notes a second songs. fuckoff.

  • @Ellinarkkari YES!!

  • dam what the fuck they give them line 6 amps to play on emg tv? what the hell??????????? that cant sound as good as whit a tube amp...

  • Cmon guys do u actually expect everyone to play like Jeff Loomis and Tosin Abassi?!?! Its called a jam session..and not a show-off...and the jamming these guys did was quite nice....anyway just a thought dont hate

  • ambient = boring. common time = boring. this performance = ambient + common time. Also, I could totally hear old Linkin Park singing over that chord progression - that'd be pretty cool.

  • @Ellinarkkari no.

  • @itscurbe Yeh.

  • @Ellinarkkari Truth, I commend you on this comment good sir, The point is creating a texture of sound. Which takes its own type of discipline. I love AAL but I also love when players use the guitar to create textures and atmospheres.

  • sono tristi... e tanto sopravvalutati...

  • sono tristi...

  • haha i just liked it to make it 90 likes and dislikes! wooo!

  • who are these new fags? i see line 6 amps... they must be in a guitar store jerking it.

  • God that sucked.

  • I actually don't know if a like it or not haha... nice tone, no technique at all

  • This is the first video that I have seen on Youtube which has exactly the SAME number of likes and dislikes! I think I should screenshot this!

  • Certo che rispetto a tutti gli altri chitarristi che girano su Emg Tv questi sono proprio molli da fare impressione. In Italia ci sono ragazzini di 16 anni con più tiro !!!

  • @Antimoralism secondo me è la canzone che fa cagare proprio a livello compositivo...i Lacuna Coil hanno fatto di meglio, specialmente all'inizio

  • Non sto nemmeno calcolando la canzone, sono proprio molli loro . Prendi gli Ac-Dc, soliti giri di 3 accordi ma con un tiro della Madonna.

  • @Antimoralism vabbè sono gusti, a me per esempio gli ACDC piacevano fino a qualche anno fa, poi basta. Cmq sia i Lacuna Coil sono mosci, ma penso che la cosa sia voluta

  • wow such creative guuitarists....

  • wow every single emgtv video has tosin all over the comments. every single video. SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • how can you be famous and have that guitar tone!!!!!! sweet baby chicken dick fucker X(

    

  • @irockyoursocs Dimebag was famous and his tone sucked ass...

  • @sittingontherooftop yeh thats very true but his was his own brand of uber-gain distortion that didn't sound out of place and suited his bands over all sound (plus he shat on every other guitarist skill and feel wise), this video however it puts me at a loss to see these dude's who are quite well known im guessing who have access to guitar rigs and and high-end instruments, couldn't achieve a better tone then one would get out of a shitty 10 watt beginners amp.

  • @irockyoursocs agreed

  • Damn they good. Making cool, no - The COOL song as "Spellbound" using JUST three notes is the real art. This italians - really great musicians.

  • @Ellinarkkari I think more of the talking shit comes from the affliction shirts and the sweat bands. This band has Douche bag written all over it. And so does these guitar riffs.

  • @Ellinarkkari while I do prefer tosin abasi skill and genre wise, u do hav a very good point. and this is actually quite good :L

  • i agree with this Ellinarkkari guy, its meant to be about the message of the music not about the skill behind it. these vids are designed to be more of a jam using emgs than a stand off of skills.

  • this video is not about Tosin Abasi. Are you fucking idiots? With your shit you create haters for Abasi,while himself he's humble and not a huge jackass elitist like you guys

  • @Ellinarkkari THANK YOU, finally someone understands me!

  • This made my winkie soft.

  • *Gasp! an emg artist's song that isn't fast nor are they technical shredders? Blasphemy! seriously, everybody just grow up.

  • @FIB3R0PTIK5 Its just because this song is written with a vocal melody in mind... so it sounds just a bit boring with just guitars, i think thats what the trolls are trying to say :P

  • This reminded me of high school when two guys would get up and play song that would sound so empty/wrong without a full band.

  • Horrible

  • Minchia che scarsi... E che manino!

  • fuck ! they've killed ESP , EMG and Line 6 at the same time with their shitty compos !

    (sory for mistakes)

  • These two idiots should have their fingers cut off.

  • I don't think these guys really need 7 strings. Give them a fucking dulcimer and let me have their gear, i'd actually fucking use it for something besides pooping all over EMG studios.

  • @Ellinarkkari Amen bro.

  • lol @ line 6

  • @Ellinarkkari

    Go fuck yourself!

  • Those line 6 amps sound like SHIT.

  • Music is not a competition guys.

  • may be they play in good band but they are not good guitarists ,,so anyway give a way to TOSIN abasi he is shred master great guy

  • just a tad out of tune

  • this is a joke hahahahaha

  • Who uses modeling amps when you're not practicing in the privacy of your apartment?...

  • this is so incredibly boring

  • @thecravenator42069 WHAT?!? Get outta here, that's impossible!!

  • Holy shit :O I need tabs for that! So damn awesome, I need to learn this masterpiece!

  • * pulls grenade pin *

  • Who gives a shit about haters, these guys are richer and more famous than you'll ever be, they can play smoke on the water and still earn hundreds of thousands.

  • @Blacksulphur "hundreds of thousands" is a very good song of Tony macalpine by the way...

  • @vaistile yeah totally... Macalpine is awesome

  • @Blacksulphur Yes, because that's what really important. Musical credibility is nothing, it's all about the money and fans. Fuck you, for being an idiot, and fuck you for listening to music.

  • @varulv234 Fuck you for being blindsided. Thick cunt.

  • playing through Line 6 amps isn't going to make anyone want to buy EMG's....

  • Line 6? Are you kidding? Get a real amp.

  • @simulclass83 I have the Spider Valve HD100 and it's not what I'd call a crappy amp… But I think it counts as a Bogner amp, since the only "line6" things it has are the built-in effects.

  • it sounds so different without the singer

  • More technical than Necrophagist.

  • Such 7th grade guitar skills.

  • whats the name of the song?

  • @Matheus10Man

    The song is called Spellbound

  • What everyone seems to miss is they aren't trying to dazzle us with flash guitar, they are playing the backing to a song, which in the context of the song works very well indeed! have a listen!!

  • masterful composition

  • ummmm ... tone

  • LOLOLOL

  • the tone is great but I crap better riffs on a daily basis

  • Line6. KILLER TONE DUDE!

  • Line 6 amps. really ?

  • Tosin could play both parts with a 4 stringed guitar and still make it sound better

  • @NZ568 and alexi laiho f...ck both this guys and tosin

  • 1:25 HOLY SHIT!!! HE CHANGED UP THE PATTERN!!! thats way hardcore XD

  • their hands are obviously moving so fast you cant even tell theyre moving

  • Can someone show me how to play this? It looks really hard.

  • Well, at least they motivate me to play guitar.

    Tosin just makes me wanna give up because I suck so hard.

  • What are the bets the guy on the right wrote this song?

    "Right, Maus. You're going to play generic metal progressions for 3 minutes".

    "And what are you going to do?"

    "I'll be playing a single arpeggio...heheheheh"

    "GENIUS!"

  • 0:54 Pinch Harmonic FAIL in 3,2,1...

  • So......why exactly do they need 7-strings?

  • hi i´m maus. and i am chris. and we play one note per minute

  • wow, good job they used emg's, otherwise this wuda bin terrible

    O.o

    what a waste of emgs

  • wait, that arpeggio is dificcult to play for 2 minutes and a half !

    give him some credits

  • Technical ability is essentially a phallic symbol in my opinion. It's the equivalent of a meat head jock in high school whose popularity relies on his performance in football and how much he beats up geeky kids.

  • >>Affliction tshirt.

  • they bring shame to those sc 607's! ahhh :(
