Between the Buried and Me Clinic and Q&A at The Music Zoo!

[@theax40]

Daniel Briggs is undoubtedly the unsung hero of BTBAM. Just listen to those bass lines. They could release Colors but it's just Dan's bass lines and I'd buy it and listen to it.

[@themusiczoo]

would buy that

[@david-fm3gv]

They totally leveled up as a band when he came onboard. Not saying that was solely his doing, but it is undoubtedly related.

[@kebinrosales8806]

One of my favorite parts of Colors is Viridian and that bass solo that Dan has

[@LouisR56]

He's also super important in the composition process, he wrote by hismelf Goodbye to everything, Astral Body and Bloom on TP2, and he directed the orchestral parts. He is actually the only member with a music degree which may help on that regard

[@belowthepale8943]

You should listen to Trioscapes. It's his jazz fusion side project.

[@danieljones8177]

Paul hit the nail on the head as to why I love metal and more underground genres. There are no rules. You're not gonna get played on the radio. You're not gonna get rich playing metal. So you might as well do whatever you want. That's beautiful

[@Mangzorz]

well said, absolutely agree!

[@TheGreenpig1]

I love how much we can hear the bass

[@ishi_gho9695]

Nice pfp

[@Mangzorz]

These guys are living legends. I would argue the kings of prog metal right now, for sure. I dont know too many bands who can release banger after banger, experimenting along the way, but somehow still preserving their roots. Anyway...they fucking rule. That is all, haha.

[@JimDewdGuitars]

These guys are musical genius!

[@cwrichardson3]

Geniuses. You mean.

[@jacobleesmith1092]

to grow up around these guys and see their first show and to share a stage with them was amazing and if you have been around they love giving dustie shit and ribbin him.

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

Love them. Dustie is a great guy. He gave me his pick and helped find my friend who suffered a gash on his eye in the pit.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

ya the crap goin on now is some bs..hes such a chill dude, u jus knoooow he didn't do what he did. sure he said some weird stuff over text n got all horny n weird, dude didnt rape tho..u can tell shes jus playing it out as such, super easy to see

[@zealobiron]

Love what Dan says about the parts of their music that throw most people off. Its the same as other parts of the songs just can't get too caught up in how its presented.

[@someguyontheinternet2714]

Had no idea Paul cut his hair. Wow.

[@ianw5663]

27:35 - goddamn right, and listened to hundreds of times. Been a fan of these guys since 2004 and love pretty much all of their work; the self-titled will always have a special place in my heart. The pull quote from the sticker on the CD was something like 'breakdowns slower than donut crumbs tumbling off a Southern sheriff's mustache'. How could one not give it a shot?

[@numberfreee]

Y’all are legendary.

[@stevenruz9127]

I absolutely loveeeddd all the "quirky" parts in the Colors album, very organic

[@Claidheambmor]

Everyone I talk to in real life dislikes those parts!

[@phyonchristopher9805]

Colors is still my favorite album of all time.

[@buckfuttler2877]

Dan and Paul doing 99% of the talking, Dustie sitting there noodling the whole time lol

[@anthonyjones3835]

Prob stoned lol

[@sonicboom20078]

Not sure what you're talking about... He provided a lot of input as well...

[@buckfuttler2877]

@@sonicboom20078 looks like 32 other people were sure what i was talking about.

[@JFlemmigan]

@@buckfuttler2877 Dustie is the strong and silent type haha. But he is a super interesting and well-spoken guy too. On a podcast interview he talked about somebody asking him why he doesn't smile much, and his response was, "Hey man, you mind if I live my life?" That cracked me up lol

[@buckfuttler2877]

@@JFlemmigan yeah hes a totally good dude. i chatted with him a few times over the years. has a great sense of dry humor.

[@teeple1877]

They talk about Jason Becker!!!! My favorite band talking about my favorite guitar player!

[@michaelkratly9888]

Pretty sure they're talking about David Bottrill when working with sound engineers that didn't agree with the key change

[@Genghis_Sean_]

Dan is such a boss haha

[@stealingtomorrowband]

BTBAM aka You Know!!!!!! These dudes are super talented musicians .

[@sauly99]

is there a video of the full clinic?

[@guitarshredder456]

Asking the real questions

[@hateme668]

btbam has been my favourite band for over 10 years and never factored in the fact that they would all have carolinian accents

[@adamstevermer3161]

Thanks for putting this up!

[@pv2clifton]

They were all thinking about prequel to the sequel lol

[@owldoh]

Dan Briggs: "You know what I mean?" - 2019

[@KevinStudent]

These guys are good.

[@Jtizzle214]

Fuuuuck yeah! And 0 dislikes. You people know grwt music/musicianship

[@curtisb3073]

New album soon?

[@seananderson5334]

I wish Dustie would let the other guys speak once in awhile.

[@bushello]

Sikth and BTBAM summer 2020!!! PLEASE

[@zealobiron]

Blake is an absolute monster!

[@zealobiron]

Is Paul slowly turning into David Cross...

[@jacobparish6437]

Paul looks like him, Dan sounds like him haha.

[@rudyg.5121]

is that Paul's normal signature or a different one? it looks almost white

[@danielespinoza6889]

yeah its different, he's been rocking a white version for a bit now

[@wodenmetal5908]

I’m new to btbam, can anyone tell me the song at the beginning

[@rubenaguilar666]

Ants of the sky

[@pinesandmines]

But what about Plant Vochestra!!

[@DavidWoodMusic]

I NEED MORE VOCHESTRA

The school of Zappa. Me too buddy. The only school you need...

[@cotuzo33]

Name of the first song please.

[@danhuso7345]

cotuzo33 Ants of the Sky

[@cotuzo33]

Dan Huso thanks

[@Captain-Mayday]

My kid will be called Waggoner Dustie Briggs.

[@vela-6]

I know they say they're just too old to be playing as fast as they used to, but I hate how that happens with all bands as they age. For me, composition is more important than speed, but I just don't want this lack of motivation to leak into their compositions.

[@travistaylor7209]

Justin K I doubt it will. I think they mean they place more emphasis on what serves the song rather than playing fast just to do it like some people do.

[@anthonyjones3835]

They still are fast lol

[@Sublight77]

im comin up on 50 soon and hell playing as fast as ever as ive never stopped practicing. In my experience, its hardest on aging drummers, my drummer is 46 and still blasting and all but always with back pain lol. we joke how our bodies break down but we still push through it. i hope to play metal as long as I can. fuck it. one life, still love it.

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

Well, Colors II turned out to be a tremendous album so I don't think you have anything to worry about

[@eightybby1886]

I paid money for the 1st album at a Newbury comics in Boston. Best purchase ever.

[@anthonyjones3835]

Yes!! I bought the first album at a newbury comics in havard sq

[@pechondelgado]

Music is supposed to have a sense of humor. This band is so good that I actively listen to them and I primarily listen to non screaming, non metal type stuff.

[@thedangersofoxygen135]

Dan gives zero ducks. Quack quack

[@theflaneur1852]

that face dusty is making when dan talks...lol

[@bpxo.creations]

😂👍

[@felixmassot1389]

....zero....a lot.. X-D

[@coryleblanc]

why did they ditch the metalcore sound and go for the Dream-Theater sound?

[@Ch0c0b0]

To leave people like you behind in the spencer’s giftshop where you belong. Jk jk

[@DavidWoodMusic]

They never were metalcore and dream theater is awful

[@coryleblanc]

@@DavidWoodMusic id say they wrote a few metalcore songs

[@DavidWoodMusic]

@@coryleblanc nope

[@seansalo5117]

The answer, as someone on Reddit/KZbin once said, is that "everything BTBAM has put out since Alaska is maaturbatory self-flagellating drivel". This is from someone who prefers everything they've put out since Alaska 😂

[@plasmavoid3783]

Miss Dustie
