Avatar - "The King Wants You" Playthrough at Guitar World

[@z.zshirer2507]

"This is you're king speaking, Im here today with..." "Tim". I LOLed.

[@IRex-wm9pd]

Holy Grail reference?

[@Trve_Kvlt]

@@IRex-wm9pd That's what I was thinking lmao

[@ilarimanninen7021]

This is you are king? He said "your king"

[@scrathed]

I love how Kungen always seems so concentrated to get everything perfectly right, looking straight forward into nothingness and Tim really engages in his playing, making faces, tipping his toes and such :D

[@joeltan7981]

That Viking-ish beard and dreads, suits the king very well Looking good my liege

[@rko602]

A metal band wearing suits in a playthrough video, brilliant

[@asvvampire]

those moustachios though lol

[@saulgoodmanfromthehittvsho1314]

It's pretty badass

[@bananaclipper9343]

I would not call this metal. They are a rock band 😂

[@jane.6107]

banana clipper have you heard...any other other record they’ve put out...?

[@balgus82]

@@bananaclipper9343 They are absolutely metal. No question. Go listen to Smells like a Freak Show, Hail the Apocalypse, or (one of my favorites) When the Snow Lies Red.

two talented brilliant and elegant dudes, Glory to our king

Never change Avatar and by that I mean keep changing. Avatar fans will get me :D

Fran Lovel Šimić hell yeah

[@yahikotendo5631]

Hell yeah! Avatar 4 life!!

[@matthiasvanhecke1283]

the variety in the band is so amazing and still it feels like avatar... even though i dont like the king want's you that much

[@metalstuff485]

@@matthiasvanhecke1283 I agree . . . But for me "feathers and flesh" don't sound that much like the others Avatar albums ( I love it anyway ;) ). Even the first two albums, melodique death with a very punk'ish sound, was more Avatar. For me it's something like : Thoughts of no tommorow 18/20 Schlacht 16/20 Avatar 21/20 Black waltz 20/20 Hail the apocalypse 21/20 Feathers and flesh 17/20 Avatar country 19/20 But like i've said it's my opinion ^^ Oh ! And sorry for my english, i'm still learning.

Tim’s solo was absolutely crazy

[@Timshady1986]

Gotta say I love these guys... simply amazing.

[@TheMeslava]

So awesome. These guys are on a different level.

[@davethurlow6677]

I never actually realised the depth of guitar in the verses before this video. This is so cool and I really like Tim's part around the rhythm. These are one of the most interesting and fun modern metal bands. Keep it up Avatar \m/

[@davidballon2990]

So awesome! Everything about that video, the song, playing, set, their style, guitars, etc. was bad ass! Very unique Vibe for metal! Dig! I will be checking out Avatar.

[@enox555]

David Ballon Yes go forward, they are so awesome!! Check some of the live performances, they are on point!

[@sploit777]

Wow, the guitar in this song is so good. Definitely gonna be listening to this for the next week or more on spotify

[@sneakypheasant]

Splitty their last album feathers and flesh is great. Recommend you see them live if you get the chance. Their showmanship and live sound is an experience

[@OGTricksy]

Fairly new to this band over last couple of years but they’re freaking awesome

[@TenaciousDanzig]

Totally mesmerising. I can't stop watching this! Wonderful timing

These guys are fantastic players. I love this band so much. Such tasteful leads...i genuinely want to hear their solos.

This made a whole sense after deciphering the riff. Awesome! 😂👍

[@conradsutherland72]

That was so cool....new and different....catchy tune...awesome

[@Brandon2940]

Such an awesome song! Probably my favorite riff on the whole album

[@clockchest186]

I've been into Avatar since 2014, sadly I've only seen them live once back in 2015. I have to admit I was iffy on this album when it first came out, but I realize they must change. I love it.

[@slowbro173]

The album definitely grows on you

[@StellaJo67]

What the hell was that little "Growl" Tim gave at the end there......if that isn't the sexiest sound I ever heard, my insides just melted.

[@paulmildner6093]

Never heard an avatar song before and that kicked absolute ass

[@minshum]

Seeing you guys on Friday in London. Literally cannot f@cking wait. This will be my 3rd time and hopefully there will be many more. I am 46yo but I’m a proper fan-boy! Most underrated band on the planet and the best stage performance of any band. True artists 🤘🏼🤡

[@minshum]

Just to say this was one of the best nights of my life! Ended up meeting the band at the end of the night. Great bunch of guys 🤘🏼🤡

KK/Glenn like dynamics. LOVE IT!

[@richrock455]

finger tap during the solo hell yeah!

[@michabajon3130]

Man, i fucking love Tim.I love all the guys in this damn great band but he just seems like pure joy embodied into guitar ripping machine.

[@paulkielt9301]

The volume pot is removed on both guitars. I think it's because it's placed too close to the bridge pickup. I had the same issue on one of my guitars, but I drilled a hole and moved the pot a little bit lower on the body.

[@todds5956]

Fantastic!!

[@jasonhill3653]

I wish I could do that!

[@befrnigel]

Jason Hill Practice, you'll get there!

[@ДіонісійСивий]

[@1995DylanJ]

Amazing band, saw them live 2 weeks ago, so amazing. Love how the King seems to feel very uncomfortable speaking english xD

[@trylyalya6880]

I don't know much about ear and nose rings, except for pirates, but you're beautiful !!!the main thing is music!!

[@ad-federicobadini1952]

The most original metal band of the present

[@BlackacreDoe]

Is there any chance that both angles on the guitarists will be released separately? The camera-work is awesome but all the jumping around makes it difficult to see what they're playing individually.

[@Sam590ss]

ALL HAIL AVATAR!

[@keithrinehart809]

Very cool tune!🤘🏼

[@salmonline]

That was very satisfying, boys.

[@yahirdominguez6358]

This sounds almost like bands like Graveyard - LIKE IT!

[@belseger]

i like how Tim's guitar changes position xd

[@DingDingDev]

Can you actually buy these Ibanez models somewhere? They look and sound great!

[@BoinFran]

I was saying to myself "yeah that slow part in the solo seems pretty easy I should learn it one day (FYI I love this part so much I sing it randomly) I looked how they do it AND HOLY HELL even that part is fucking mental ;-; why can't you let some talent for the rest of us :v

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

i just wonder how the fuck they set up their guitars in B standard and can still use the tremolo!!! thats amazing!!!

[@Rain593]

Eric Valverde proper string gauges and set-up

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

thats what im wondering...taking the right gauge with a floyd/trem is very difficult, when i restring my Jackson KEX (e standard. 10-46) i always have to set up agaaain the floyd (its a Floyd Rose Special, dont spect the very best stability) it is worst when you tune that low...i'll tell them to play a 7 string with its dedicated floyd...but obviously is not as comfortable as a 6 string....wanna give a hug to that guitar tech xd

[@Rain593]

7 is only uncomfortable when you aren't use to it. I've been playing them exclusively for 5 years and now 6-strings feel awkward and uncomfortable.

[@ipdjbt]

They're using 12 gauge baritone strings, which helps tremendously when playing in B standard.

[@liambitchezz]

Generally correct string gauges n not sucking helps I live in low tunings on 6's and I mainly have trems set up fully floating and as for 7s, just get a kahler or an ibanez lo pro edge if you want a trem you'll thank the world later, generally speaking they're probably on 12-58's or 12-64's depending on string brand

[@alexoliva9200]

Hail to the king!!

[@nylonsteel]

Intro reminded me of ' abracadabra ' Steve Miller if he was angry and played metal ;)

[@cubametal1]

Great catch!

[@TheConcertCruizer]

I looked up the tabs for this (the right one) and I am so confused on hoot play it.

[@guillermitodeir4900]

Avatar rabbit hole.... here i go 😢

[@user-oo6ms9ok9r]

Can I get some tabs?

[@adamsherm29]

How hard do you think it is for them to sit still while playing. Lol. Tim definatly has specific qualities while playing. You know when Jonas is getting into it when he starts movin his head. 3:00-3:20 my favorite part watching the two get into it!!!

[@mrville9113]

MASTERS!!!

[@plafskijenkins1357]

This is why the arts should be federally funded, these guys came from music school which is paid for by the swedish gov. an these guys fuckin rock!!! Support the arts!!

3:59 he is playing something else o.O

[@bobbenbrown123]

Dimebag Darrell squeals. awesome!

[@infinitesentient3545]

Robert Brown I love Dime, but did you know he didn't invent pinch harmonics + whammy bar?

[@bobbenbrown123]

Infinite Sentient then who did pal?

[@infinitesentient3545]

Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai. Someone will probable correct me with who they got it from, lol.

[@Antivenomification2]

Dimebag harmonics are natural iirc, its a natural harmonic + whammy dive. Maybe not invented by dime but he popularized it.

[@droid0188]

Tim is a huge dime fan. He has a few Pantera tats

[@OmEgaINcoMA]

Nice..... 😁

Tim's face 🤣
