Playing with BREAKING BENJAMIN and TRIVIUM (Jared Dines) 

Good moment of playing with his guitar and step up to the next level of performing with Breaking Benjamins and Trivium

I've never re-watched a podcast before, and I watch/listen to a lot of em, and I'm old AF. This one episode was more enjoyable, more interesting, more humorous, and more informative insofar as what's going on in in music, than anything I've seen in easily a year or more. I've stopped watching music podcasts, except for Sir. PR MBA. And Jared, even though we're into different genre's, I'm a huge fan because he is so damn talented and versatile, if you watch him and can't find enjoyment or learn something, you're missing out. Well done guys! 🤘 Re: Trivium. I too have been lucky enough to meet these guys the past four stops in ATL. And in every damn case, they treat you like they know you and make sure you have a blast while you're in their world. Even their manager guy in the black hat that does BJJ and Muay Thai down at ATT is so damn cool. He too, just like the band, goes out of his way to treat the fans the way the band does; and how they'd like to be treated. Jared nailed it when he said meeting Trivium is an experience. I don't know how these guys are so personable, professional, and damn nice with the pace they keep. Matt and their manager are martial arts (BJJ/Muay Thai) guys, and I've taken a BJJ gi to the past three meet and greets, and they've signed the collar, the sleaves and the back. I've made it into my competition gi in honor of the band. Shameless flex, I know. But even though I'm an old AF thrash/punk guy since 83, I can't get enough of Trivium. legit art. I bet ya'll get a bunch more stories of how cool these guys are. (ETA: I did watch the full show, and am enjoying the clips now... just so ya know, full show, because you're just that damn good dude). If ever in ATL, do drop a line: brian@redovoting.com (you're an old Punk, you'd appreciate the DIY we did at RedoVoting.com : open source... we're gonna need a marketing guy... sir...

2:55 Having played in front of a few thousand people, he can't be anymore spot on. Until you're super comfortable with it, at least in my case, this is exactly what I did and what worked for me.

Now that I think of it even the biggest musicians in the industry started as bedroom musicians in some sense. It pretty much all starts there.
