Boots On The Ground 

I did it afterwards, with a prophetic insight of knowing the dislike button does not exist

⬅️ This guy right here

Duh!!! Lol

haha me

Hahaha YUP

hahaha i'll remember that

🤣

Agreed..

Pretty sure HE chose 5FDP. Not the other way around. Lol Not a fan of them at all but I’ll definitely listen to newer stuff now

Exactly! FFDP are cover kings. Andy is leagues beyond that!

No, they chose him. When Jason had to have emergency surgery and left them without a guitarist in the middle of their last tour, Zoltan requested this man specifically. They didn't even consider anyone else. That's a good thing because it shows that they know exactly who he is and what he's capable of and the last thing that they'd want would be to waste his talent. If anything, it's much more likely that the rest of them will up their game to prove that they're worthy of having him.

@@Missunderstood214 I was being facetious. Implying that I personally wished he wouldn’t have gone with them. His writing, to me, is beautiful and I would rather see “Andy James and the Crotch Rockets” or anything other than him playing for FFDP.

Jeff: He had his own band, Sacred Mother Tongue, but they didn't make it anywhere so they just broke up. And even his solo stuff just got him moderate attention within the guitar circle, but didn't exactly make him a household name (I've honestly never even heard of him until Death Punch picked him up), or anything. But then he got offered the chance of a lifetime by one the biggest bands in the world, who happen to be one of his favorite bands, so was he supposed to turn that down? I mean, I get the concern because, honestly, even though I've followed them for years and was only a fan of his for a few months, even I have to wonder if maybe they went a little too far out of their league with this one and I kind of worry that they're going to waste his talent (though I am quite impressed with "Broken World"). When someone expressed that concern to him on Instagram, though, he said that this is his dream gig and he feels lucky as fuck to have landed it so as long as he's happy, I'm happy for him.

I was thinking the same thing

True

Ivan over this would sound so sick

He stood in as a guitarist for FFDP for their tour earlier this year. Probably got tons of inspiration playing their music

@@mikeangelo1836 what's that got to do with anything. He actually did stand in as a guitarist for FFDP. Gotta insert your anti-FFDP edgyness somewhere i guess eh?

How is the practice going?!

This is when you know that you have done something bog on the guitar.

definitely! \m/

Same bro🤟😈

From where

He's now in Five Finger Death Punch who are one of the biggest bands in the world so they'll make sure that he finally gets the recognition that he deserves m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pf8ztcsJHis.html

He will be soon. He's now the new guitarist for Five Finger Death Punch and is even currently shooting scenes for the upcoming Horror movie The Retaliators that the band has a cameo in.

Yep, absolute cool album.

Well he's now taken over Jason Hook as the guitarist for 5FDP

I was listening to all the AJ albums on a long drive the other day and its quite amazing to hear how the sound quality/ production has improved with each album.

Literally ever fuckin time.

Now he is a 5fdp guitarist

@@twanahamawandi6546 woah, never knew that, I'm not really a big fan of FFDP but they're good

@@craftcrate6602 he just replaced jason hook as a lead guitarist listen to his solo in (broken worlds) it in the new 5fdp album (a decade of destruction) this guy fits right in

Hes also way better than that trash band. Make that money Andy.

@@kambion that band kicks ass. Your taste must be in your bum

@@kambion dude just because you don't like a certain band doesn't make them "trash". The sales speak for them self.

@@PianoCinematix lol justin bieber had high sales too, sales don't mean shit. FFDP is for alcoholic step dads who get in fights with the refs at little league games, Andy IS way better than that trash band

@@crossup13 tbh their last guitarist only shined on leads so it left WAAAAAy to much room for the rest of the band to fill, if andy is part of the writing process on the next album, its going to kick.

Naaa.. is good.. but no the best

One of the best for sure.

Yep def one of the best players of our generation

one of the best for sure ;)

Watch Tosin Abasi or Guthrie Govan and then come back

Agree!

Could not help but reply to your comment , what you said is exactly why I like andy, love all his material. One of fav top 3 guitarist.

@@liquid7315 so who's the others?

@@soumyachakraborty8183 Rusty Cooley And Angel Vivaldi 😀👍

Get the new CSIL tab,, chunk and learn your favorite guitar parts sooner rather than later. Its highly enjoyable! The metronome is calling, out!

@@soumyachakraborty8183 oh , just noticed your question ..it's really hard to pick only 3. In the instrumental guitar world though ; .would say I mostly listen , or come back to: Joe Satriani, he's my all time fav #1. Andy, angel vivaldi , I really like Rick graham as far as technicality. There are so many others . lately I've been listening to Plini, Distant Dream , a bit of polyphia , sammy boller, and jeff beck. In a general sense , I would go with Satriani, Andy james, and SRV. When I was a teen I really was amazed by kirk hammet, although many criticsize him, hes another fav.

Andy was at jps guitar school as an instructor a few years back I think jp would do it 🤘🏻

That would be amazing

This is way better than Petrucci's album

@@ahmadmohamad6764 maybe in your opinion but this isn't a competition. I just want two great guitarists to jam together and make some amazing tracks. What's wrong with that? Why do people always have to say someone is better than someone else, why can't we just enjoy music?

He released a whole new album in august
