[@jojoplaysmusic]

Just noticed a little mistake. On 3:08 it was supposed to be “Armageddon Bound” in the title there. Not Remembrance again.

[@s.z.9517]

One of the few bands who never released a bad album. Everything from them is dope.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Totally agree

[@evilemuempire9550]

World Eater is such a badass riff, the whole song makes you feel like you can literally eat a planet then spit out the remains into the sun

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I can agree with that

[@jaredt3985]

Bolt Thrower is my bread and butter band. No matter how far out I branch with different music, from atmo black to post hardcore, to folk metal, brutal slamming death metal, whatever. I always come back home to BT. They just.. don’t fuck around. Reliable, well written death metal with killer riffs for days. 400bpm tech death and dissonant black metal are cool, but sometimes you just want to snap your neck to some fucking bolt thrower.

[@szveszs]

Bolt Thrower's best riff is in the song "When Cannons Fades" - after the solo; that's one of the most badass riffs in history.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Definitely badass. I did go through every album thoroughly and picked my favorites tho.

[@metal_helm]

you might be right about that

[@robertocaba5915]

That riff just demolishes you like a fucking panzer

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@robertocaba5915 absolutely!

[@Shamelesspatriot1776]

Yes dude!!!! Favorite bolt thrower riff!

[@nostromohp]

Your execution of those riffs is like a tank grinding skulls, greetings from Chile.

[@IgnisPerseverans]

BOLT THROWER FUCKING RULES

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Just you wait. I took my sweet time listening to every album to pick out the songs.

[@IgnisPerseverans]

@@jojoplaysmusic Niceee what was your favorite if you had to pick?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@IgnisPerseverans I’d say World Eater. It’s so brutal. I feel that’s a song that really represents Bolt Thrower.

[@COTOHAXX]

Bolt's music really like tank:moves not so fast,but when it will get you,there's no place to escape. Great job remembering them,dude.

[@vikingblast3582]

That artillery footage in the background made the video! Hahaha

[@jojoplaysmusic]

It was just and necessary

[@PawStuffs]

Back in the day during my college years I stumbled upon 'no guts no glory' and thought the band to be some speed metal/groove metal stuff... love at first listen, Little did i knew that I would get trapped into the abyss.. The band is totally sick **** AAA+

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Definitely a great band to introduce you to death metal

[@Wheresthepepsibismol]

Bolt Thrower is my favorite Death Metal band. Now I need get a woodland camo hat and shirt.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Gonna need one of those too

[@robertocaba5915]

You did an outstanding job sir. Best DM band in my book

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much man!

[@kaosailor]

Nice one! One of the most underrated Death Metal bands 🔥👏 Respect!

[@steelwarrior105]

Just realized how close cenotaph's verse riff and the IVth crusade's intro are

[@jojoplaysmusic]

They do have pretty similar songs.

[@owencornelius7475]

FUCKING YES

[@wyattfreihon4048]

Immense props to playing in A standard with such a light gauge. That is a Medal of Honor already

[@filiparsovski4250]

a symbol of eight is my favorite track from them

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

wow, their stuff kicks hard..

Legendary riff collection!! ¡Aguante Bolt Thrower, carajo!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Absolutely! The excellence in simplicity.

[@andrewdavis7794]

54 42 30 19 14 10 string joy is all I use for c# standard for years

[@lucasssss135]

A suggestion, could you do the gradual evolution of a music genre, from its roots to today

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Definitely on my to-do list very soon.

[@theDOOMSLAYER6666]

Ultra sick tone

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much man! I really worked hard to get a tone that’s appropriate to Bolt Thrower, but that still sounds modern and high quality.

[@mercilessoverlord1330]

YES

[@ccmixx]

Dude, this is so sick! Thanks for making this!!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

My pleasure! Stay tuned cause I have several more videos like this on the way.

[@nickfanzo]

And that right there, shows you why bolt thrower is one of the best ever

[@dariovenencio9611]

Sounds great!

[@notoredplague8277]

Amazing. Congratulations, sir.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thanks! And yes, they have a pretty consistent level of quality.

[@erol4105]

goodstuff mate

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thanks man, I appreciate it :)

[@old_romans]

@henrycavill better use Bolt Thrower for the Warhammer project

[@jojoplaysmusic]

He better watch my Bolt Thrower riff Journey too. And then play MTG with me.

[@old_romans]

World Eater should be the theme

[@Chaos_Smoker]

War, never changes

[@robloyst4514]

Hey what tuning are you in? Damn ezdrummer sounds good as hell! What expansion? What tuning? Lol sorry just love the tones!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

It’s the Progressive library. The tuning is C standard for the first album, A standard for Realm of Chaos, and C# standard for everything else.

[@metal_helm]

I just asked if you were using amp sims on the r/deathmetal forum, and I see you are. i should have come here first LOL

[@jojoplaysmusic]

LOL. Yeah I always list what gear I'm using for a specific video. I want to start doing gear demos soon (with death metal tracks of course).

[@anthonyfajardo5627]

Long live bolt thrower 😮‍💨

I found you on facebook on the deathmetal forum lol

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Lol, nice to see you back around.

[@laszloleventekis8551]

Is that Infiltrator song from Mercenary is a bonus track? I have never heard it and it is awesome as usual.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I don't think it is. I've heard it regularly with the rest of the album.

[@deathmetaldownhiller7874]

It was only on the digital special edition and Japanese release. I don't have it on any of my copies of Merc

[@CharlesNotBronson]

Dude, you made me want to try to learn Bolt Thrower on bass. May I know their tunings for each album? or at least the usual one, if you don't mind. Subbed btw! Thanks!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Hey thank you so much man! It’s C standard for the first album, A standard for Realm of Chaos, and everything else is on C# standard.

[@CharlesNotBronson]

@@jojoplaysmusic WOAH, that's fast lol. thanks alooot! Really appreciate it! I'll let you know what my ears can come up with! 😅 Cheers!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@CharlesNotBronson hey no problem man. Have at it! :)

[@user-cn6ul7ot2y]

Cenotaaaaaph!!!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Probably one of the easiest death metal songs to get into. That’s not a jab, it’s a good thing haha.

[@someshkadam2441]

1:34 Looks like he got PTSD after playing that riff.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Lmao I might've

[@gimmenames9039]

Duuuuudeeee!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Duuuuudee

[@Suelo82]

How does that Jackson sound playing bolt thrower?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Probably less muddy than the LTD. However my Jackson always stays in E/Eb standard

[@annihilation777]

Through the Eye of Terror definitely has their best riffs tho

[@personanongrata5564]

which pedal are you using

[@jojoplaysmusic]

It was the Fractal AX8

[@aneverflowingstream]

Everything tuned to C? Or C#? Can't remember exactly

[@jojoplaysmusic]

The first album is in C. Realm of Chaos is in A. The rest is in C#.

[@mariom9325]

@@jojoplaysmusic are you sure the first Album is tuned to Standard C ?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@mariom9325 I did some research and it appears that yes, In Battle There Is No Law is in C standard. Also when figuring it out by ear, I always felt like I was playing a little higher in C#.

[@MyBichSustained]

I love Bolt Thrower...But,they surrendered!

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

Do you have tabs for Eternal War?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

No, sorry man. I figured it out by ear.
