Chris Amott playing a clip from the latest album

[virusAlex20]

they dress really nice and classy for death metal guitarist.

[anjoesatriani]

The Amott Brothers, two men in one band with absolutely Different type of playing type and influences and yet has the perfect Chemistry.

[YheOceanguy]

which song is it? :O



[akaboo69]

what song is this

[IbanezKing666]

@akaboo69 Vultures...

[DennChooch]

i'm trying to find michael amott's videos where he plays some of spiritual beggars stuff... i can't find them! FRUSTRATION! anybody happen to have them? these guys are gods.

[stbreal]

cool how they are brothers in the same band but have drastically different styles Chris has the very technical lead style and Michael has the grittier blues shoot from the hip style

[ZPTheart32]

Chris Amott >> Michael Amott

[DaVinceMovies]

ginger with a soul! ;D

[Shockprods]

0:00

[ELVENPANT]

sensacional

[wwwilliam0024]

from what song is this? its sex to my ears! :D

[metalpower18]

@wwwilliam0024 Vultures!!!

[BlackSakura00]

lol i´ve just realized that besides the fact that chris have long fingers, that he got his ring finger longer than the middle one, that remind sort of paul g.

[metal0chaos]

@rokkantnyugdijas

no,sorry i want to say, wich scale are chris amott using....is a harmonic or a melodic?

[1lordzock1]

@metal0chaos its basic minor and mayor scales

[daniyalkhan21]

Chris Amott = Very underrated lead player

[TheFriedTurtle]

@daniyalkhan21 He really is, i mean don't get me wrong mike is awesome, but in my opinion chris is just that bit better. His shreds are always clean live and spot on and he always plays the harder of the two harmonising parts and never fails to impress me live. He just doesn't get as much recognition as mike =/

[ShredKillMarco]

@daniyalkhan21 that's just for you, but for me, he is great

[owner12]

@daniyalkhan21

Lead ?

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

@daniyalkhan21 Slash=taking all of it from chris somehow lol, chris is way better, but he gets less credit

[daniyalkhan21]

@EmoGuitarSceneKidxP Slash is just meh in general, I don't like his style lol. I dont mean to compare guitarist but I prefer Chris or Michael by a long shot.

[metal0chaos]

what scale are chris using in this?

[MrSpaceMan1000]

@metal0chaos Hahahahaha

[metal0chaos]

@MrSpaceMan1000 why?

[th3kill3r0fdr3ams]

What song is it?

[rstabler1]

@th3kill3r0fdr3ams Vultures

[MrSenkuma]

is that chris broderick at his left?

[666archenemyfan]

@MrSenkuma no that's Chris Amott, Michaels brother.....

[sebapetruccidt]

I love the Chris's guitar solos, they are so complete in all aspects, feeling and technically perfect!

[shredhexus]

Why are we arguing about Johan and Angela in a video that doesn't feature or have anything to do with either of them?

[Anarasha]

@shredhexus Haha, well said! :P

[solidiquis1]

The TONE!!!!!!

[NOodleFISH72]

What is the name of that song?

[FullJarre]

@NOodleFISH72 Vultures

[Sortsylic]

Still don't like "power" Arch Enemy with Angela, but they both are good men. Also Redhead Amott was better with Liiva

[Fizzwut]

Caparison rules.

[bslz65]

one of the best sounding vibratos ive ever heard in a player

[Guitarded270]

Wish I was gay. I'd do him.

[496dart]

sooo melodic-------a nice mix of michael schenker and yngwie

[Megalejou]

Man Chris solo album is fukn great, its other stuff, not Arch enemy, but you can see the good melody and feelings. Love Both amott Brothers!!!

[69Thrasha69]

Power metal as fuck

[ImTheKobold]

why do all guitar videos have like that fuckin zelda music at the beginning

[Shyuum]

@ImTheKobold

It's a japanese stuff, I fucking hate that too

[SoCalDirtDragon]

is the drum on a double bass trigger? cuz if not, that's pretty fuckin awesome drumming.

[Ecko486]

@SoCalDirtDragon ye the bass drum is triggered, but its still awesome drumming regardless, a trigger just changes the sound of the bass drum for recording, the hits are all still being played by the drummer

[ANDROMEDARK13]

como coños se llama esta cancion

[SeventhKillSwitch]

@ANDROMEDARK13 es "Vultures" del disco "Rise Of The Tyrant", muy buen tema con bueno solos ImI

[kobrakai36]

vultures is the best song

[bchewdown]

I hat e the super fast double bass...sounds like Dragonforce!!! what is that shit? Triple bass?!?!?! lol

[killingfield666]

still love it great song still slayer's better

[windriderrr]

Arch Enemy = Amott bros. + Daniel Erlandsson.

Sharlee and Angela still do a good job, but that just doesn't slash you through.

Never heard such a good live sound anyway.

[painxxx11]

hows this godly? i think its lame as fuck. nothing comparison to Niklas Sundin s solos. period

[SilverPingvinen]

@painxxx11 sundin is awsome buts lets face facts chris is better

[mriddell10]

The song is called vultures

[nunofrg]

which song is this solo from?

[RandyHammett]

this solo is epic!!

[nickfromdtown1992]

never heard of caparison guitars until recently. they sound really good

[sosippus]

which DVD is this one?

[Shyuum]

He looks like a fucking Japanese when he is looking to his guitar, or maybe it's the fucking damn ugly Young Guitar scenenary

[jonathanbenaroche]

he plays better than god but he has ugly fingers lol

[matineesuxxx]

u wanna hear better than god? jeff loomis FTW although im totally not knocking chris' playing

[joojicf]

@jonathanbenaroche heey, I have the same fingers! :ooo leave fingers alooone, I'm super serial! xD

[Enemyofsonny]

they are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wizorz]

such a great chimistry between the 2 amott brothers, they're both do some wizardry

[Mcrox2424]

wow!!

[4everRock666]

what song is this? sounds awesome

[demigod325]

the song is called vultures

[TheMangasm]

@cnnre2005 So? most music is playable within learning an instrument for a few year. Being an exceptional guitarist is not defined by what you can play, more so by your creative ability to write music.

[YetInue]

@cnnre2005 but not anyone can compose, even after studying a lot

[accent47]

but if you notice they are just going straight amp no computers like dragon force or any of that crap to clean there crappy playing and another thing the can solo with feeling wich takes alot

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

Hah you have NO idea what you are talking about. After playing for one and a half years you may THINK you are good enough to play this well but I guarantee you it will be sloppy and nowhere near this level.

Their bend vibratos are completely unmatched on the metal scene at the moment, that takes ALOT more than just a year and a half.. Getting your alternate picking to a level where not only can you play at this speed but consistantly and comfortably without even the slightest of fuckups

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

and are hitting each note just hard enough to get the tone you are looking for. Getting the level of cleanness chris pulls off here where there is zero unwanted string noise on any of the string changes or large position shifts takes years and years. Not to mention the knowledge of theory to choose just the right notes for each backing chord, that alone can take several years to get down, Chris went through music college y'know.

Sure having good equipment helps but a huge amount of the sound

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

comes from the individual player and their little quirks. If you had his amp and guitar you would still probably sound like shit, but he would still sound unmistakably like Chris with a $50 amp and guitar..

Chris got where he is by practicing around 10 hours a day for several years. It does not come easy, dont talk about things you dont understand :).

[guitaristman23]

basically what saying when play comes up to standard then you should be thinking about better gear

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

Hmm not necessarily, upgrading your gear can sometimes be a good incentive to practice more and may make you enjoy your playing even more thus you will improve faster, just dont expect (as the guy my comment was in response to claimed) it will make you go from zero to sounding like they do here as alot of it is from the fingers, the amp does make a difference too for sure.

[guitaristman23]

yer fair enough

[poetofdamnation]

Well for the least these guys use analog stuff and passive humbuckers so the way you play every note can shine through. Not like most of the people who drop 6th string 6 notes lower than the 5th, put active humbuckers and use a digital processor and the only thing they play is chug chug chug.

[VertigoSqueal90]

That Caparison is so sexy.

[4everRock666]

sounds very...japanese

[cyrus6616]

yea it kinda does

[alexisleroi]

im pretty sure they've both got the same picking styles

[Mcrox2424]

The ammott brothers r so fuckn talented

[742617000027j96]

Amott brothers are the best ever!!! :P

[spaf13]

angela is so much better. plus the fact that she can keep up with all the male singers even though shes a girl is sick

[exhaustedfiles]

thats bringing in sexism into the picture - look at her v's male screamers as the same - IMHO angela doesn't cut it because its so un-dynamic - everything sounds the same and has done since wages of sin

[spaf13]

i was just saying that shes good and im impressed that she can keep up with all the guys since guys naturally have deeper, rougher voices. personally i think randy blythe from lamb of god is way better

[dannnnny86]

can anybody give me more insight on what he does at 0:44, the way he hits the strings with his pick before he picks the note, it's like a type of "wah" before the note - a similar was of expressing notes. A lot of guitarists with feel do that.

can someone explain how to achieve that noise sound good, when i do it, it sounds like a bad palm muted sweep before the note.

[cpamiseso]

I dont know how to play it best, or the name of it. But all i know is that it is often used in blues playing (i noted that SRV used it a lot).

basically all you do is sweep a string or two (palm muted) before you actually hit the string which you want to play a note with...that's what Chris did in 0:44 second...

CMIIW

[skapadamdc]

that's a "Rake".

To get at the string yo want to play, hit the ones up at the same time you muted the strings, using sweep picking tecnic.

It's useful when you want to do a bend because you have already muted the up strings.

I hope you understand me, I´m from spain and haven´t got good english ;).

[sXe170]

pull off + vibrato(lots of it depending on how u want it to sound)

[Fond3ll]

@dannnnny86: He makes that noise while sliding the pick over the strings while they're dampened.

[6Vital6Remains6]

Not very hard to figure that one out. Do you want us to explain how to do 'pick-scrapes' too, man? heh...just kidding.

[joojicf]

what's the name of this song?

[mattyalanjones427]

Vultures

[joojicf]

thank you a looot!~ ;]]

[8stringerr]

johan livva was the shit fuck angela her lyrics are carbage

[bombingrun19]

Agreed.

[crashman6]

Ha ha ha ha! You are joking right? Johan was a one dimensional, boring snarler. Angela is a demonic goddess.

[barnickd]

I preferred Arch Enemy while Johan was still the singer.

[6Vital6Remains6]

I really dig Johan's vocals, There's something about Angela Gossow...I liked her on every album so far but theres just something there I'm not sure about...

[efilnickufecin]

@6Vital6Remains6 she screams... Joahn's voice had more power and was more defined. That's the difference i notice

[exhaustedfiles]

dude i totally agree 100% and i have agreed since wages of sin - angela is good and all but nobody will ever beat johan on AE's vocals - he was just so aggressive and dynamic - angela's work is just... all the same to me. i only listen to AE now because of chris and michael and i blank out angela's vox work

[analduct]

thats cuz ur sexist

[barnickd]

Hmm...come to think of it I do believe men are better at everything except making sandwiches and doing dishes. Maybe you're right. Regardless I like their older songs more.

[SimAlias]

@crashman6 But at least Johan had that certain vibe to his growls esp on the older albums.

[bilbotitface]

@crashman6 nd shes hawt

[A7XsUxOrZ]

@crashman6 says kids. johan has soul and variety. angela has power thats it.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@A7XsUxOrZ

the only time soul can be measured is when you're measuring your won soul. some people can feel soul from certain things and some people can't. some people can feel it, but to a different extent than other people. you can't measure somebody else's soul, you can only measure what you feel from it and they might feel more soul from their music than you do. power is the most important thing for a vocalist in a band like this anyways.

[wormednstrangled]

@crashman6 both are good in what they do IMO, better yet let's stop the drama and enjoy the video

[lasoogneypubes]

@crashman6 Angela pussy-whipped the whole band. Their style changed dramatically when she joined.

[Vomitore]

@lasoogneypubes I can't agree more! The band really got boring not long after she joined.

[hiyabuddy69]

johan didnt write most of the lyircs you know, michael did

[8stringerr]

well still better then what angela comes up with.

[Rockbignole]

Amazing phrasing

[MourningsEnd]

He's pretty good.

[frab1990]

Pretty? Calling him pretty good is actually an insult. I mean... he is almost equal to Micheal (some thinks even better from some aspects). Problem he's been staying in the shadow of amott. Sad, really.

[MourningsEnd]

I disagree. I think he's better than Michael. I wouldn't have bothered to comment on a video of Michael.

Hence, not an insult, but a compliment. You're a typical Arch Enemy fanboy who can't stand it when people fail to see how GODLIKE Angela and the gang are.

They're not. In fact, I'm only slightly impressed with two members of AE. Go back to your Tyrants DVD and quit trying (read: failing) to troll Youtube.

[frab1990]

Question... who was that answer supposed to be to?

[Dyscention]

He's probably better than michael in technicality, but michael has the soul and the melody. The combination of the two brothers makes a very potent force indeed.

[ferdk16]

chris's vibrato is awesome

[lucasguitarrist]

gender? I guess you meant genre

Gender is about male/female xD

[RedSkyWhisper]

You meant genre/styles. But Syu also did Melodic Death Metal with Aushvitz =D

Hail Arch Enemy \0/

[RRFan1250]

dude look at the shoes chris is wearing lol

[ibanezxiphos700]

i think theyre cowboy boots

[bastardsofdecent92]

Arch Enemy...this is the solo lick in the song "Vultures" from the Rise of the Tyrant album

[bannaboard]

thanks man

[mistarval]

Can't help but think of Dr. Phil theme at 00:18

[HEXPB]

i like michael better, chris i still but not as much i dont know why

[Darkdevil1584]

dude.. these guys are so amazing... this almost makes me cry..

[dimebagharley]

haahahahahh i can here it rofl. iknow wat you mean :P

[grievous56]

I love Vultures. Great Song. Rise Of The Tyrant was the best AE album imo.

[1108boy]

aaah..no inlays..i'm learning this solo!

[DrKolben]

[ethicalkidnap]

The fuck is going on with the bass pedals there? It's like a machine gun, haha

[supershiva11]

they probably hired slayers ex drummer haha, but seriously, the fuck man you'd have on a massive dose of steroids and speed to drum like that

[Noirie93]

Reminds me of the pokemon collusiem tune

christopher is a blazing guitarist

[SNiPeZzzzZzz]

its funny because Chris is so like a chill guy and michael is totally brutal looking but they play so well and I like there stuff!!

Arch enemy FTW

[lovepuremetal5]

i think micheal is really good composer especially in melodic sector but chris is better fast solo player.

[xCaRnAgEv5x]

vultures from rise of the tyrants best one ever!!!!!! :D

[lawafette]

OMG I love Chris's white guitar ! I MUST have it !

[ImTheKobold]

Isn't this the theme to some kinda anime?

Hahaha kidding, it sounds great!

[laiholover666]

michael is an amazing composer...he can compose anything from rock to death metal...but technically chris is way better...

[rafael123p]

they r both amazing in there own ways =D michael is better as composer and chris is better as a solo playin guy lol =)

[guitarninjadude]

i love their guitar work, but arch enemy needs to improve their song lyrics.
