The riffs starting at 1:41 and 3:32 are so amazing. This song is one of my favorites from Lamb of God, why do they never play this masterpiece live?😫I can’t be the only one that love these riffs
Whats funny is when you hear it on record, It sounds fucking impossible, when you see him do it it looks doable, but then you try it on the kit and you're like "how the fuck...." lol. Practice practice practice.
I have to assume I had the same issues... I was like transcripting their songs on my guitar and struggling to get the way the were actually doin it. Because in every situation the finger scales were so fucked up that it wasn't looking logic. But at least I got it, it is complicated but they use lots of huge finger gaps bitween each frets for a few plans as well as lots of spam of E chord and stuffs on the 12th fret and around. The way they pinch their strings is special as well, they more or less try to put as much power into the downstroke than the upstroke. Usually it goes down roughly (even fast in some thrash for exemple) and up in a less agressive way. That's where the power of the guitars is coming from I guess. Amazing stuffs coming from that band for many years and many others to come. Love them ! (of course I talk as a guitarist but of course the other guys are totally amazing !)
Hardest part of the song for me is that signature Adler beat at about 2:10. He has used it in several songs. I don't know what to call it or even what the time signature is, but it's the same riff he used for the opening bars of "Embers," and it appears in this song at two different speeds. For the longest time, I was only able to do it if I played it fast. For some reason it kicked my ass when I tried to play it slow, like he does in this song. Go figure. I finally got it though. Now if I can only get that damned intro lol...
@@darry2355 Because they don't play this song live. Why? I have no idea. From all of their albums, this is the one song that really grabbed me when I first listened too it. It's just a beast of a song but alas, it would seem, we'll never get a live version.
Einstein once said; any obnoxious fool can make anything bigger, and more complicated. But, it takes a touch of genius to keep everything simple, basic, and true.
They both carry each other so well its unmatched there timing is perfectly matched ..brothers always play better together...love wille and Chris both killer rockers
Can't understand how Chris counts it in in whole different tempo at the beginning and then they both start playing perfectly at the same time and in the same tempo :D anyway epic playing /,,/
+Arthur Kitchen dude randy has some of the best vocals metal has to offer, you should know this. you must think that black veil brides and blood on the dance floor are the best metal bands.
Good choice. If you haven't already you should also check out Nicolas barker, ex dummu borgir and cradle of filth. Really creative cymbal work and fills!
The Adler bros play with so much discipline and they seem to be too humble. But you can clearly see Chris just one with the drums. i fuckin love them since 2003
One of my favorite songs from lamb. It sounds like something chuck schuldiner would’ve written. The weird tempo and time changes with knotty weird notey riffs. Sounds like a death song from the symbolic era. Great job from Willie. Who I believe wrote this.
first of all, there are not LOTS of people following this guy. He is just well known for his tribute to the band and the sexy licks he puts into songs. If you wanna say he doesnt do that, you probably know "Now you've got something to die for". I know a lot of drummers, but i dont think many would actually come up with those splash hits and that rythm... so if you dont think he is quite different in his play, then thats fine, but that is what everybody who likes his play thinks...
I saw them play this weekend, here in South Africa, and they were amazing! Chris is an awesome person and drummer. But they taking a break for a while. So will see when they hit the road again.
The stamina it takes to play this song gives my right wrist PTSD flashbacks of master of puppets. The weird time signature makes some of the riffs a little funky feeling when you're learning them. The string skips are brutal, you really gotta try to mute strings perfectly as you play. The groove is a little difficult to fall into but once you're there this song is an absolute joy to play, nearly as wonderful as just listening to it.
As far as the difficulty the ride is fast for nonblasters. If you haven't warmed up u start cramping BEFORE the end double kick. There's a lot of parts and sitting on the floor tom sections. I'm amazing at dkick so I can do the cut to the bone section but that could be challenging to nail. The ending dkick is fast if ur taking it easy but slower than speeding thru it which means u have to get in your leg muscles to be accurate. The ride snare work is fun but probably not very hard.
Not if you're playing with the opposite hand and going in-between 32nd and 64th notes interchangeably and nailing harmonics with your offhand...it's really not easy at all...
man im with you . after years of dnb taking me over in 1998 ive recently been listening to all lamb of god i can , just such an impressive band . amazing riffs everytime !
