[giantenemybird]

HOW DID YOU INSTANTLY GET THE 4 CARD IN HIS HAND IM SO CONFUSED

[oCyfiuso]

'dun' can be replaced by 'djent'

[xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx]

Is that advanced breakdown you guys did with the cards an actual song or did you just create that one like with the cards? Cuz if it's a real song, someone tell me what it is! XD

[Arbiterofficial]

@xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx just drew some cards and played em man haha :)

[chrisglory]

@Arbiterofficial have you guys actually ever used this in one of your songs? this is a cool method, gonna go make a sick breakdown now!

[Arbiterofficial]

@chrisglory i think we have started to do this and it spurred us to completely alter what we came up with into a completely different rhythm. Our drummer and vocalist used to be in a band before Arbiter that actually used the method multiple times, however. It just is what we do to help when we want to make an unnatural sounding choppy rhythm, but we decided to make into a game and show everybody haha.

[Pabbles123]

lol

[SnoopGrinder]

lol gotta write a song this way

[npetrie76]

you took out all the cool cards.

i used to use telephone numbers or morse code.

[BVisionProductions]

what model of the roland cube is that?

[GodlessAeon]

Is this the method you guys used to write your whole album? This would be way funnier if your music didn't make me want to ram a screwdriver into my ear.

[Arbiterofficial]

@GodlessAeon lol nope didn't write our album with this

[TheJuicyTomato]

you piece of trash

[Arbiterofficial]

@TheJuicyTomato lolwat

[TheJuicyTomato]

@Arbiterofficial jk it was actually hilarious

[ATradeOfTraitors]

DUDE! This shit is fucking AWESOME! That last breakdown is sick as fuck you should use it in a song!

[666inches]

lmao this shit is funny its kinda lame cause when i write i dont practise writing breakdowns but if it comes up ill include one but this is a funny exercise and good to practice your rhythm

[EpicCoreAvery]

Im so doing this... xD

[artificialisme]

Fuckin dopeee. Haha.

[KemaIsGood]

demm. i like this yaww..

[OceanOfOilFilms]

Find a way to use math formulas for breakdowns. Start with the sacred square.

[blitzX5]

scramble the whole deck and do the world's longest/most random breakdown :)

[Arbiterofficial]

@blitzX5 After The Burial already beat us to that one with their song "Pi: The Mercury God of Infinity", look it up!

[ancientdead]

that's one good sounding roland cube

[Arbiterofficial]

@ancientdead we were hoping someone would notice that hahahahaha

[Dissimulatex]

I just get drunk and start using open, the 3rd, and the 5th fret lol. Fuck around with it enough, and you'll have a breakdown. The beauty of 7 strings.

[OmFGCloWn23]

I'mma post a video response in a second. Just needs to be finished.

[Arbiterofficial]

@OmFGCloWn23 haha k

[ssdaven]

love this video.

[Arbiterofficial]

Everybody peep the fan made breakdown in the video Responses \/

And make one, too!

[EventHorizonAU]

Bahahha, so true.

[MAGPULD]

thats actually a really good idea!

[MAGPULD]

2:20 song plea?

[Arbiterofficial]

@MAGPULD "Deadfall" by Arbiter (aka us)

[MAGPULD]

amazing guys

[Arbiterofficial]

@MAGPULD Thanks! don't forget to peep "Destroyer" our new song and get ready for our new albums Ironclad and Machinations in a couple months!

[MAGPULD]

ill def check it out man so far i love it!

[meatropes]

"offnotes"? ... minor 2nds?

[Arbiterofficial]

@meatropes Haha yeah. I promise we're not musically retarded. (at least not all of us) a couple of us have a legitimate amount of theory knowledge and the ones who don't have an intense amount of gear/electronics knowledge. But how we act is extremely simplistic and.. to be frank.. just fucking stupid. It's just because we just hate so much shit in this world so like everything we do is trollbait mixed with 2 parts hatred, 1 part satire, 3 parts seriousness and a pinch of "i hate all of you LOL"

[meatropes]

@Arbiterofficial hahahahah AWESOME. You guys rule

[danevati]

are they making fun of breakdowns?

[VegasPoker]

this is funny guys, i will definately be checking your music out \m/

also, the myspace link on your youtube channel doesn't work. just lettin ya know.

[jimzero1]

Yes....... It's all about looking and sounding "cool" rather than actual musical talent......

[Arbiterofficial]

@jimzero1 the video is sarcastic lol

[Sphereal]

Or you could also get talented and stop using deck cards to do stuff talented guitarists come up with in no time.

[Arbiterofficial]

@Sphereal that's the point of the video lol

[notuern]

@Sphereal .. wow, massive failburgers.

[ssdaven]

@Sphereal Missed the joke?

[xIAMDOOMx]

Followed the link on stuff you will hate to here, and I gotta say, I laughed and enjoyed the hell out of this video. Good times.

[zajac1661]

sadly many of the new teenage and millenium bands out there, make their "breakdown" right hands patterns sound very uncreative boring and alike.

[RyanJVH]

Brutal logo you guys have in the beginning.

[Arbiterofficial]

@RyanJVH believe it or not it was hand written! we are experts in calligraphy as i'm sure you could see

[around30pandas]

ha ha Jack Of All Trends.Brilliant!

[igotwoodhaha]

Oceano fucking suck, I saw them at summer slaughter and I swear to god they didn't go past the 12th fret on their guitar once. All they can do it play breakdowns and single notes at the neck. pathetic.

[wolfsparty]

@igotwoodhaha I'm not sure if not going past a certain fret number threshold is a legitimate factor in validating a band's suckiness.... but hell, I'll go ahead and agree with you anyway lol

[BrandonOfBodom]

hahaha I used random number generator for breakdowns

[GordonShemway1]

How are Oceano pussies, but Norma Jean, Devil Wears Prada, and August Burns Red aren't?

[Arbiterofficial]

@GordonShemway1 haha he was saying that the viewers of the video are pussies, obviously as a joke, but yeah, like it's "And oceano... them too ya pussies!" He said that after like 4 other things in this video but they all got edited out

[andpartywithevan]

dundun

[gHeTtoBrEtTo1]

hahaha. and Oceano.. Them too......Pussies.. lol

[mike90t09]

insane. <3

[YoYoHall]

You guys are ridiculous

[BrutalPerrehReloaded]

Amazing!

[CloverfieldMonster95]

jack jack jack jack jack 1 jack king lol

[jacoberslee]

BRILLIANT

[DawningOfAMassacre]

Dude looks like Danny Worsnop from Asking Alexandria.

[skatemental702]

Haha soooo unnecessary but still pretty legit.

[FF7Marsh]

[Jrolkpta]
