  • @newyearsprayer OBservant

  • i cant tell if thats music in the background or static

  • Psycroptics new vocalist is fucking shit

  • what is the name of the song played in the beginning?

  • @VodeMasta666 Initiate by Psycroptic

  • this guy comes to my house yea

  • Its um, sort of like you know this kind of thing, yeh, i suppose its like, um "shreds hard as riff" Um yeh sorta like that you know.

  • we aussie guiarists have 1 thing in common... ESP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Deathaxheavymetal No, I use a BC Rich

  • @SacredFrickinBob

    which do you have ?

  • @TheXenoSphere Warlock

  • @SacredFrickinBob Nice wich model is it?

  • @TheXenoSphere not too sure, its got active pickups but no tremolo

  • @SacredFrickinBob I got a Stealth chuck shuldiener tribute

  • @SacredFrickinBob shut up :)

  • just discovered this band is so fucking sick and brutal their lyrics are so fucking human mind manipulating

  • Genius

    You have to be him in order to play his music right LOL.

  • ths guys amazing!

  • One of my top 10 inspirational guitarist. You guys should really check this guy out. He's currently giving Online guitar lessons. You can find all the information about it on Psycroptic's main band website. Enjoy!

  • Infinite fits Nuclear Blast intro perfectly

  • @galatonim Initiate. But yes I agree. It does go quite well with it

  • @globalgemo My bad ;)

  • What i cant understand is why this guy is playing this crap when he is such a good player , in my opinion he could play for anyone and do a good job

  • @AshStrat1 because he and his brother ENJOY playing technical death metal? Psycroptic is anything BUT crap. Psycroptic is one of the most creative bands in metal, death metal, and tech death. the very fact that you describe it as crap shows me just how little you actually listened to Psycroptic. Sure, he could play for anyone, but why the fuck would he want to play for anyone when he can play FOR HIMSELF IN PSYCROPTIC you dipshit.

  • @PenaltyoftheTyrant ...AshStrat1 has the fucking old shitty way of thinking bro.For some people metal is only for brainless and ignorant kids so for them if someone plays metal wastes his talent...

  • my guitar teacher right here ^

  • 14:31 that riff is incredible!!

  • key words: garsed and govan. this guy is sick.

  • @ThatDangGinger1995 he is pretty modest, but it helps that he grew up in hobart, which is like a small country town almost, everyone is laid back there, it's not like Hollywood or something where everyone has to have the biggest swinging dick in the place.

  • Awesum! Great to see you guys doin so well! been watchin you guys since 2002!You were all so young then haha! still think Isle of Disenchantment is the best album tho! Keep it up Guys! showin the world Aussie Metal Fucking Rules!! Cheerz!

  • That hybrid picking shit is hard..I should know that shit by now!

  • One of the very few true musicians fpe has featured. More people should know about Joe Haley and his incredible original style and approach to death metal guitar.

  • @xMrBumpyx what about Emil Werstler? hes incredibly original and brilliant.

  • @LWRCftw Well him too! I Wish i had space to mention ALL of the greats in death metal, but a dont. XD

  • @xMrBumpyx I couldn't agree more, the guy's amazing

  • That was a good report

    

  • they should have set him up with a better amp.

    that guitar tone is horrible, i had to turn it down before it damaged my speakers.

  • @thispagesux has nothing to do with his amp its the fucking camera mic and the backing track his amp sounds quite good even through the shitty mic it was recorded on.

  • Best guitarist in all of existence

  • wich song is in the begining?? u_u

  • @rexerized Initiate from (Ob)Servant

  • @ sowhat2 ohh man u fucking rulz(Y)!!! i´m going to buy that goddamn album...

  • @ThatDangGinger1995

    Yeah, he's the shyest mother fucker alive. But god damn, why?! He is literally one of the best guitar players out there...

  • @ExplorerFreak The guy completely blew me away, and so did the rest of the band...I got to see them tonight for the 1st time, and it was actually only my 2nd time ever actually hearing their music. I dunno why I took so long to pursue their material, but fucking A...I'm an instant new fan of theirs! What a privilage it was to see them and give me a whole other band to listen to/get new writing ideasfor my songs \m/

  • what a fucking intro

  • goddamm my picking sux

  • @boogahed your not alone bro...i cant triplet for shit

  • This guy is fuckin' insane.

  • That is a beautiful guitar.

  • horde in devolution riff is sooooooooooooooo fuckin good!!

  • i wish the camera wouldnt move around so much i want to see how he hammers the notes i need ideas for scales and riffs

  • What is the intro song to this video? Is it just a nuclear blast thing or is it something else? Cuz it's br00tal

  • @Shredwizard445 Nevermind im a dumbass

  • @Shredwizard445 its the song by psycroptic, called, Initiate

  • love how humble these guys are- true aussie style. No big headedness or arrogance!

  • whats the song at the beginning?

    

  • @NeroGargoyl initiate- last song from observant. Insane track! all 8 minutes worth

  • This guy is my friends Guitar teacher...

    Holy shit

  • they're really talented obviously, but so boooring, just never ending blast beats.

    no offense to any real fans, but i think it's a valid statement

  • I think one reason that Psycroptic's so good is because the guitarist and drummers are brothers and they've got such a tight bond... fucking badass haha.

  • @CoolDude420xxx because guthrie govan is just sooooo deathcore. have you heard the br00t4l breakdown in fives? fucking idiot

  • what's the song at the very beginning?

  • @SeanStephensen Initiate I think?

  • @SeanStephensen initiate, off the album ob(servant) :)

  • Initiate, you should've known that man xD

  • i cant understand a god damn word he is saying ... :(

  • @abesol23 read the lyrics then they become so clear- and incredible. So in depth...

  • he loves that a minor chord lol

  • Onya Joe, you're a legend as are all your band members. Saw you down here in Tassie at the Brisbane Hotel dude, probably 1.5 years ago now? Was a killer show.

  • looks like that desert in cod mw2 at the beginning of the video

  • @kennyball "Rust" haha

  • he really is good, i just hate the direction of new Psycroptic

    Isle and Scepter are fuckin gold, Symbols is silver, Ob(Servant) will remain uncommented on. i dont want to disrespect.

  • thank you sooo much for not posting a great review of a shity guitarist

  • he looks reallt nervous, he barely looks at the camera

  • it's great it sounds kinda jazzy!!!

  • what an odd interview; he jams at the end!

  • Riff at 9:09...is from which song? He said something but i didnt understood..

  • is he anchoring his right pinky or ring finger on the guitar body while picking?

    That's comforting. I thought i was the odd one out, and was thinking about learning to pick without anchoring. Seeing this guy playing this good makes me think twice :)

  • he lives 20 mins away from me hahaha :)

  • lol he's shy and he kicks ass.

  • this guy is BADASS.

  • fucking amazing, that's all i have to say about that

  • scepter of the ancients best album.. i heard they tried to create more groove and melodic hooks in their songs in later albums.. i think thats a detour from their original and much more kick ass sound. bring back scepter.. i loved the fact that there were riffs on that album i wish went for longer.. made listening to the whole song much sweeter.

  • his either stoned or doesn't enjoy public speaking... either way he looks tortured.. endearing though for such a great guitar riffer. Haley kicks ass!

  • @AMNION666 He usually shy like this pretty much why he usually talks looking down

  • @AMNION666 hes just very shy i met him yesterday.

  • Nice interview, great guitarist, kick arse band

  • This is not deathcore, you fuckup.

  • @Incisionator whoa. who said psycroptic was deathcore? tell me where the fuckup is so i can smash his fucking face in

  • @Incisionator HAhahaha someone called this Deathcore?! xD

  • ob(servant) album pwnssssss

  • hahahaha.

    such a brutal player, and he is so shy.

    uncomfortable if front of the camera ftw

  • "uncomfortable if front of the camera ftw"

    hahahahah ahahah XD i dont know why, but this made my day, thx :D

  • i understood 12 words he said lol ...

    \m/

  • year like me ^^

  • what i understood every hes said

  • SICK guitar!!!!

  • august burns red sucks who can get influenced by that I can under stand despised icon.

  • i can relate. i only starting busting my balls over the axe when i was... oh, actually i beat this guy! when i was 13 i starting kicking it into gear and was able to sweep major, minor, augmented, diminished, and lydian arpeggios by 14. now im working on 4 finger nubbing... which is pretty hard.

  • Nobody fucking cares, go back to your avenged sevenfold you cunt

  • who the fuck do you think i fucking am?! i fucking spit on a7x! they're shit! my influences range from august burns red to thy art is murder to for the fallen dreams and despised icon. i fucking hate that shit people call metal when all it is is an attempt at glamour. fuck you! how do you even assume that i fucking listen to them from saying that i can relate to this guy?! you are one fucking dumbass man. i'm so fucking tired of you fucking retards who think you know ppl from one fucking comment

  • @ToSufferInSilence Well said

  • lucky :P I played mostly punk music for a year, then nothing but thrash for another year. I just got into technical music but i can't find anything i can actually play(goddamn bands and their pick sweeping lol). But one day i'll be good enough to play like these guys

  • @Grunge00125 yo dude, my advice is start with covers. like, try playing something already written out, like bleeding masscara from atreyu (i hate them a lot and i think theyre scene/emo but the sweeps in that song are good practice). then i'd suggest doing individual exercises and quite possibly moving onto jeff loomis shit, like the psalm of lydia or the solo in i voyager. good luck man :)

  • wow well thank you very much :)

  • @Grunge00125 dude i might be good, but its not really skill in playing as much as skill in songwriting and a love for the music :)

  • 13.07 imba is this a song ??im new to these guys.

  • @ultimateRupture - yea its ok the newiest album.

  • its called ObServant dude and be up for theese guys they´re the most kick ass technical death metal band out there ... and thats my favorite genre :D ...

  • fucking skilled.but shy :P

  • what song is that hes playin at 9:30??? that is so badass!

  • whats the name of the song played in the begining?

  • yeah i want to know too...

    anyone know?

  • @ChrisCrucifix Initiate, off of the latest album

  • Thanks for that man, I'll check it out.

  • Psycroptic - Initiate

  • Initiate

  • lol the vocalist is the best compared to the shit i listen to

  • You were harsh, yeah hes not great but hes really not terrible

  • wow..like this alot

  • your neck needs a god damn head cut.Joe haley is fucking great

  • 24:19 simply awesome. Thanks again fpe!

  • 19:40

  • intro lol!

  • He looks a lot like Mark Morton from Lamb of God.. and is also shy like him..lol

  • HWB doesn't exist anymore... so why should we give a fuck!

    let's just watch Joe Haley!

    He's a little shy on camera but he's a killer guitar player.

  • great guitarist

  • NUCLEAR BLAST

  • this is so fukin good that i wanna give up....megadeth is hard enogh!! haha

  • @vikingman74 Megadeths backup guitarist is better than dave cumstain :) and also dave cumstain cant sing for shit infact it sounds like he is taking a shit when he sings :)

  • @vikingman74 sorry haha,

  • The riff at 27:36 reminds me of Nightmare on Elmstreet when the little girls are singing "One, two, gonna buckle my shoe.  Three, four, better lock the door."..LOL

  • omfg youre right

  • musho pinshi wiri wiri :/

  • i gotta back up tru fully on this one... i saw these guys a year ago and watched joe shred the whole time... fuckin profesh

  • i dont really know what's going on in this convo, but i'll say that ive seen psycroptic live and stood directly in front of Joe. I have a very keen ear for clammers and mistakes and i listen for them live.

    Joe's tone live is so articulate and badass, the mesa triaxis is perfect for thumpy articulate tones, and with that being said, i could hear every single note he played so clearly and he didn't fuck up, not once.

    he was perfectly in sync the entire time

  • man its fpe tv... u could expect a better quality, both in video and audio...

  • Joe Haley's a bad ass and humble has fuck...my buddy met him and said he was totally down to earth:) Hence why I like underground death metal and shit,cause the guys arent all"oohh,look at me ,Im a rock star"..

  • what song is on the begining???it's insane!!!!

  • Initiate - Psycroptic

  • Initiate

  • ESP LTDs owns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Never would have guessed he hybrid picks.

  • yea i found that interesting

  • honeslty i thouhgth he was just plain god but not hes double god~!

  • Most Australian and UK core is terrible. There are some exceptions, but most of it sucks. Though the death metal from both places are good. I'm not hating on deathcore or anything (I love deathcore) but I'm just saying.

  • agreed

  • This guy is so ridiculously good.

  • damn his downstrokes are close to light-speed.

  • he's an awesome guitarist but he is very shy lol :D

  • grimelord666: Thats because most aussie metal is shit, Im from perth, and i haven't heard many good aussie death metal bands. But psycroptic are my favourite band :) Any other good aussie death metal bands??

  • Disentomb, Gallows for grace, hiroshima will burn, phalanx, dead letter opener, defamer. Those are some of the best Aussie metal bands ever man. Check em out dude.

  • that's pretty sad, the guy from perth not knowing any good metal band from australia.

    i'm from Texas and i am well aware of the new sounds coming from australia.

    Cross The Lips Of Grace, The Red Shore, Hiroshima Will Burn, Thy Art Is Murder, Aversions Crown.

    that shit will tickle your ears then make your eyes bleed.

  • i hate most Aussie bands cozthey are deathcore. Hiroshima will burbn are tech, the red shore are good i hated there old stuff though. CTLOG im not a fan of and thy art is murder suck.

  • dammit.

    apologies man, i accidentally hit thumbs down instead of up.

    I'd have to agree with you man,

    Except with thy art, they are boring to listen to, but I quite enjoy seeing them live.

    There is too much deathcore over here.

    Not enough tech/prog death.

  • we need more gojiras and decapitated's

  • When I listened to HWB, I loled at how bad they were, and how off beat the guitar was. Not sure if this was just a really bad demo or what, but it was horrible.

  • haha have you heard there new album?

  • I actually just checked them out a minute ago to see if they're any better. They're cleaner and more technical, but definitely still horrible IMO. Just random sweeps, and the riffs are so lame. Like, they're palm muting the blues scale and think it sounds brutal or something. Just sounds weird.

  • Well man. Lets see you write soemthing better then HWB. Random sweeps? palm muting blues scales? Im not gonna bother. This is why i sometimes hate youtube. Ignorance.

  • Yes, they have no knowledge when it comes to transitions and rhythm. Honestly, they're okay, but they seem like they have no idea whats good when it comes to writing. I already have written something better than HWB, and it doesn't consist of palm muting and hammer ons, and some random sweeps. Listen to their song Drop Dead Gorgeous. It's off beat and the riffs are generic as hell. I'm not being ignorant, I don't hate the band, I just think they can improve a ton.

  • I dont listen to anything previous to the weight of all things. Its a technical brutal album. And post your songs man. They have no knowledge of transitions and rhythm. Another ignorant comment by saying its just "random sweeps" and hamer ons and pulls offs. Im not gonna bother man because you a fucking idiot. The only shit you post on your channle is bullshit.. You are nothing compared to HWB. Your just another cocky arrogant know it all on youtube.

  • Well, I've heard one song from what I believe is their most recent album, and it wasn't much of an improvement. The sweeps in the beginning were great, thats all I can say good about it. Calling me an idiot because I see how bad a band is, is pretty dumb. I have nothing to post ATM, but once I get a decent quality recording I'll post a few songs. There's a difference between throwing in a sweep anywhere, and actually following a scale into a sweep.

  • Well man. Go to there mysapce message them. Offer em guitar lessons because you are such a great player with great knowledge. Everything in there songs does fit. Nothing is really out of place. As i said you are an arrogant, cocky no it all guitarist on youtube who goes around on videos saying yeah "this band sucks i am sooooooo much better then them"

  • I never said I was better than them, I just said they can improve, so can I, and so can you. I think the guitarist are pretty good technical wise, but musical wise, no. This is my opinion, I never said it was a fact. I never claimed to be a know it all guitarist either. It's constructive criticism.

  • I don't see what is so constructive about saying

    "They can improve"

    They make the music they want to, they didn't make it for you.

    Cant deny you your opinion though.

    But yeah learn some full psycroptic songs and post a vid of it, or post some of your own vids for everyone to criticise. I mean.. personally I don't comment on videos of shit that I don't like to watch. I comment the things that I enjoy watching, like this video. Bands don't want feedback from people who DONT like their music...

  • I'm not sure why they would purposely play off beat and sloppy. Maybe it's a new trend in Deathcore, I duno. I wasn't saying they can improve because I don't like them, I mean because they are actually bad and sloppy. I would want someone to tell me if I were bad, wouldnt you? I don't learn songs, never have. Not that I can't, it's cause I don't like playing what other people have written. It's a great way to exercise and learn, but I don't care to do it.

  • off beat doesnt mean sloppy shithead off beat means they dont need each other to keep track making them far supior to you god you are fucking stupid

  • LOL WHAT? You mean being off beat is a good thing? So having bad timing is good? When I say they're off beat, I mean the guitar is off beat to the drums, it's not something they do on purpose, trust me, I'm a big fan of Polyrhythm type drum beats, and what they're doing isn't 'good' at all. I can't believe you actually called me stupid, ahahahahaha.

  • hey femicide09, you're a dumb c*nt mate.

    who gives a fuck about you, and if you learn songs or not. psycroptic are a f*ckin sick band live and recorded. who are you anyway ? what music have you released ? you f*ckin cyberpussy

  • Hey xsclorosis, can you point out where I said anything bad about Psycroptic? Let me know.

  • if youd pull your head out of your ass and listen the beat isnt kept by drums they use the cymbals to the timing so they can more freely use the drum to play something that isnt straight forward garbage thats been spewed out for hundreds of years sorry its too complicated for someone with half a brain in their thick skull to understand go back to listening to something you can actually comprehend
