Three - Joey Eppard - Bramfatura

[nobodiesreal]

@zippler12 I straight agree with that ! That solo is played better every live performance.

[vergiljackpot]

0:41 HA!

[osmosis2259]

This band seriously needs more recognition. I know they toured with Porcupine Tree and played on Prog Nation 08 with Dream Theater but they need more!

[robluvmusic]

Wow I really like this. I know Joey will probably want to slap me in the head for saying this but his style reminds me a lot of Johnny McLaughlin . I like this a lot. Johnny McLaughlin one of my all time favorite guitarist.

[HeliosFramework]

Absolutely breathtaking. So much feel in this. Extremely outstanding musician, both on guitars and vox!

[IIESPD00DII]

This is EPIC as fuck...this truly crazy!

[816bigbear]

The only reason this got disliked is because they can't play it themselves.

[ihaterichppl]

When Joey Eppard plays, I expect others to stfu

[zig3]

Joey Eppard makes me wish i learned how to play guitar...

[RainWiLLIDie]

FUCK. This was in hoboken 3 years ago. I go to hoboken so much :(

[xXAlienangelXx]

best artist ever.

[BatBen23]

i think i should learn this for my college audition

[Ralyks321]

why are people talking when joey eppard is playing

[therealgamerman64]

Who the fuck edited this video, wow its so terrible

But Eppard is fucking AMAZING, 3 is the greatest band!

[richmistar250]

I think people were more in awe and enjoying the experience rather than aplauding..Mikael Akerfelt talks about people doing this...I am guilty of it myself, watching opeth I was amazed that I was actually viewing them live!

[Gonnablongboarder]

My uncle was in 3 and was best friends with Joey

[therealgamerman64]

@Gonnablongboarder Who is your Uncle?!

[xXAlienangelXx]

@Gonnablongboarder who is your uncle?!

[iNK666]

ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuCK-.

[synth000]

WOW"!

[crazyaznboy5000]

man. searching for the band is a pain. i typed in 3 into the search bar and probably got every youtube video to ever be posted as a result

[domdabombabc]

I second that

[PurpleJB99]

Joey Eppard is friggin AMAZING!! I wonder how long it took him to learn to play like that? -__- *jealous like hell*

[mulotwo]

He's got a really incridible guitar style !

[jackass311]

@mulotwo i checked out the bands wikipedia and it's called like a flamenco/ slap hybrid... AKA i needs to learn it!!

[kingcrimson234]

i'm gonna take a wild guess and say that he's practiced playing the guitar a lot.

[Sirvanta]

how the fuck does he play this song? IS ita hybird of flamenco and slap picking?

[Aroc232323]

yeah it is

[jackass311]

@Sirvanta it sure is dawg, and it looks insane! like looking at how little his hand is moving and hearing all the sounds he's making, my mind is still trying to comprehend the sheer ninjosity of it! hahaha

[Swampbillydave]

@jackass311 ninjosity indeed.

[MikeRGoldstein]

joey eppard is an acoustic beast.

=/ too bad 3 arnt gona get as big as coheed they deserve to though.

[DaLandmasta]

My mom is really good friends with him. She helped him with merchandaising. She got me a 3 T-shirt xD

[BecauseOfBoredom]

lol, the fuck is your problem dude? it's just some kid saying he has a 3 shirt. calm down. i hate people like you. the kid never said he was amazing because he has a connection with the band... he's just stating fact..

[Renegade498]

Ovation for the win

[Pansensuppe]

nice one :)

what kind of technic is that?

tapping? spiderfingers? ^^

[soocool78]

i think its just slap style

[DaLandmasta]

I went to this guys concert in woodstock about a year ago. He is a crazy mofo thats for sure xD

[thebananashoe1211]

omg i went too

[Th3B1ackDeath]

holy fucking god this guy is fucking crazy mother fucker

[AzwraithPL]

Saw 3 in calgary during prog nation, was at both shows, first row :D watching joey do this live was awesome both times, ye i'd never heard of three before this but they put on a really good show, and i got to hang out with the band a bit after the show...got a bunch of crap signed...anyways ya, the guy has a very cool slap style going for him, ...alsi hes completly obsessed with the number 3...hence the name

[mayakikun]

How exactly is that guitarist doing those fucking amazing sounds xD?

[redsoxhater987]

i saw him play this i was in the first row and it was fucking amazing

[DiabeticDood]

I saw them live twice both times in front row and he did this both times. However both times he broke the guitar strings. And the first time I saw them he broke his guitar doing this. As he went on he got rougher with it. Was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my entire life...

[ErikBucaneg3018]

dude this song was played at the progressive nation tour and it gave me goosebumps. i was in the 4th row

[hardrocker2110]

i seen him play this live, it was fucking amazing

[xxironmaidenxx]

Screamo LMAO

Homo

[VintageMustangs]

If you think Opeth is "screamo", you're just a fucking idiot.

[lawlshane]

Yeah, honestly.

[nhl22222222]

I would agree with someone with reasons not to like opeth, but after listening to them for a while, i got so used to them, and i like them alot now

[JonathanFuentes91]

I love how everyone shuts up once he gets to the slapping

[thirdeye511]

3 deff shouldve played AFTER BTBAM becuz they were waaayyyyy better, much more musically talented.

BTBAM blew hardcore...3 made me fuckin cream

[burnsy1221]

go fuck yourself btbam is awsome

[Slowmone]

lmaooooo...so true

[GecSword]

Gee I got flamed on another vid for saying the same thing...

...I totally agree BTBAM where positively abysmal I hope they never tour with DT again. Scratch that, I just hope they never tour again :P

[molotov001]

BTBAM has an amazing live show.

[GecSword]

Could have sworn I said that already - they have a lot of energy on stage and their live show is phenominal, but they sound like shit to me because I dislike the genre of reptilian screaming. No amount of arguing is going to change that fact.

[molotov001]

opinion != fact.

But point taken.

[GecSword]

I said they sound like shit to ME = Fact ;)

[1Love2Customs]

GecSword I happen to agree with you, I pretty much tried to drown them out on the Prog Nation tour (BTBAM), but either way you don't need to defend your opinions. Everyone's got their opinions. I'm sure some people can be found to say that anyones fave band is crap. Let's all just listen to what we like and respect each other's varied interests as part of what makes music so great huh?

[DallAss612]

keep in mind, some people have tastes that differ from your own.

if you knew anything about music, you'd understand how truly amazing BTBAM are.

[GecSword]

Contradiction much?

If YOU knew anything at all aboutmusic, you'd burn your ears off after listening to such drivel.

There, that's MY opinion, and that's (I'm sorryto say) just as legitimate as your totally uneducated one.

[DallAss612]

says the guy who seems to have some sort of fascination with his friend who can cut a jug of water with a sword.

listen, i challenge you to write something as technical as BTBAM. then, once you do that, i challenge you to play it live every night in front of hundreds of people you dont know for a few months without any flaws.

in all seriousness, you clearly havent listened to much. they have numerous songs where, if you get past the first 2 minutes, you'll find something absolutely beautiful.

[GecSword]

Considering I'm goingto college majoring in medieval and renaissance history...ya I think my fascination for medieval warfare holds some merit.

I can't write something as technical as that. Nor can you. I'm not challenging it's technical beauty - it just SOUNDS like garbage. I listen to, odds are FAR more music than you do.

[DallAss612]

i never said that i could write something that technical. my point is that you shouldnt call something "drivel" unless you can do it yourself.

i dont see how the possiblilty that you MIGHT listen to more music comes into play. but whatever. i like to think i have a pretty diverse taste in music, giving me an idea of what is good and what isn't. in my opinion of course.

[GecSword]

I have a rather diverse taste in music as well. You seem to argue that because YOU have a diverse taste in music and like them, I must not have a diverse taste because EVERYONE with a diverse taste likes BTBAM.

I've no problem with peoeple liking other types of music, including this. But I've a right to call is utter trash as long as I know this opinion isn't reflected by everyone.

[DallAss612]

certainly not. if i imply that, i apologize.

but you seemed to imply that because you have a diverse taste as well, you think they sound like trash, and everyone else should think the same.

[GecSword]

I think we're both reading too much into each other's posts.

I'd never imply that, and I hope I haven't.

[DallAss612]

i think you may be correct.

it seemed to me like you did.

oh well, agree to disagree?

[sabian545]

...i just got a little hard watching that.

[sgsmob]

3 pwns. They need to be at prog nation '09!

[nhl22222222]

Prog 09 would be sick as long as there isn't a show from BTBAM, give three bands longer sets

[sgsmob]

Damn right. BTBAM sucks

[PtH888999]

No they don't.

[burnsy1221]

ahahah u must really suck if u think btbam sucks.

[ishiho]

oh god anymore and my head is going to burst. its too good

[TJLethal21]

Yeah Im sure Joey owns a few Michael Hedges albums. Aerial Boundaries for sure. lol

[lyzd3x1c]

these guys are incredible. saw em at prog nation.

[toadsticker123]

same, they were so awesome

[scotto132]

This song owns you.

[Codyyyn]

I saw it live last night - it was so amazing. I took a video and posted it, although it isn't as good of quality as this!

[ledzeppelith2]

micheal hedges has got nothing on this man

[RobZombie3344]

i saw him at the Myth in Minnesota. 3 played an awesome show. so did opeth and dream theater

[toadsticker123]

lol, btdam was lame, everyone else was good

[dmdollinar08]

Saw Three two nights ago in Chicago.

He did this song.

It was AMAZING! Unreal.

[bmc2006]

three is insane live.

[fishermat33]

Like everyone else said, seeing it in person is unreal.

[bikerguy420]

he shredded his guitar when me and a friend saw it this weak, he went so crazy he broke every string!

[DTfanforever]

he did the same thing when I saw them on May 21st

[dumptruckhead37]

...and this doesnt even do it justice. Absolutely AMAZING live.

[ch3llbabi]

he amazes me. saw him at the dream theater concert in Oakland. Its great to see a real legit guitarist playing with a metal band...

[EnragedSephiroth]

Just... wow.

[relis22]

best ever

[relis22]

best ever

[1Love2Customs]

Joey makes me feel like every other guitarist I've ever heard is a copy of a copy. Totally versatile, unique musician.

[soocool78]

he reminds me of Micheal Romeo of Symphony X, but ith a comepltly different style of music

[toniesque]

Best Ever

[toniesque]

Best Ever

[beasley777]

Very nice!!!

[mangalsk8erboy]

never underestimate the POWER of acoustic.

[gotmonkeyfinger]

GREAT !!!!

[EberronFan981]

Wow. that was amazing!

[EternityAwaits]

Damn you Joey Eppard. You're the reason I'll never try to play guitar. Your beautiful music makes me cry.

Eppard is my God.

[Praetorian308]

Probably one of, if not the greatest, contemporary guitarist.

[ultraparanoia]

This is very good. I enjoy this version more than the studio one.

[Shroomziez]

Unreal...

[theneesh]

How did you get such impeccable audio? Damn these videos are amazing
