Death Metal Guitarists Talk Their Favorite Riffs - Dean & Tobi (Archspire)

[@psychotictactoe]

I love that everyone in the band has this twisted Monty Python humor, my favorite band in the last 20 years easily!

[@BlackAceKisachi]

Bro same

[@DentoxRaindrops]

These guys seem like great guitarists, they should play in a band together

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Man, wouldn't that be great?

[@mammontustado9680]

Heh. That joke would've been so funny if it wasn't overused.

[@naturaljoe759]

Or any band at all

[@JavierHernandez-nl1jk]

😂

[@Chainsaw_HM-2]

Guitar Hero would be perfect for them.

[@ubmastering]

So glad the cursed riff made it into the album. ATL is a banger of a track.

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Man that bass line tho

[@java8]

Yeah. It gives me chills and the small solo bit that he puts in. OMG

[@EhEsDeeEf]

Tobi is such a great drummer

[@DeanLamb]

Tobi is the bassist

[@HowieStephens]

@@DeanLamb wait I thought Tobi was your guitar tech... He's actually in the band?

[@m4t4to93]

Who's tobi?

[@sh4rpys]

@@DeanLamb Wait, so who does the vocals then?

[@note5aprime249]

I ever thought Tobi is your wife...

[@themightymcb7310]

Man that chorus riff from Remote Tumor Seeker is so fucking catchy. It's honestly very impressive how you guys managed to take such inaccessible music as tech death and introduced the melody and groove that it badly needed while still maintaining the spirit of the genre.

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Well said my dude

[@spaghetti3091]

Wow, you hit the nail on the head, I mean they really push the envelope with speed and sheer technical application yet I can either mumble or hum the melody, that is to me what makes them on the top of the mountain

[@madhatter797]

You know you're dealing with titans of guitar playing when they call "Remote Tumor Seeker" a "simple song"

[@kam8556]

9:36 "... it couldn't be too fast..." - 290bpm 8th notes. Just goes to show that Einstein was right: time really is relative xD I love hearing about people's writing process, so this was a really cool vid! Hope tour goes well

[@spitefulwar]

"Cursed riff? What are they talking about?" *Dean and Tobi play it* *sense of impending doom spreads*

[@CoreyAllgood]

Hi, it’s me, Mozart! Great job.

[@jessepusatero5511]

Hey Mozart good death metal keep it up

[@buttforce4208]

love your work

[@Blackerer]

The cursed riff is definitely one of the best on the album!

[@michaellaviola6540]

The most cursed thing in this video is seeing Tobi with hair

[@Gojira_350]

Dean was real quick with the "Dont touch my guitars" 😂

[@fadingdimension]

Dan and Tony just keep at it maybe someday it'll come together. ❤

[@Jeffmetal42]

One of the things I appreciate about you guy's music is that you don't just lay on the fact that it's super fast but actually have very interesting riffs. You are also really good at making fast riffs catchy, which is pretty tricky. See you guys in Austin. 🤘

[@apoplexiamusic]

the riff lords! who else can make incredibly complex music so catchy?! I'll see you in Montreal!

[@lukewahlberg2154]

Wait, Tobi was in Muspellheim? Holy shit, I remember them...well, I remember the drummer being ridiculously fast and the vocals hard to listen to, but I remember them.

[@lukewahlberg2154]

Also, I wanted to go to the show in Chicago on May 7th but I can't make it up there. It's the only time you're within a reasonable range. Do Indy next time, please?

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Love listening to good peeps talk about song writing 💕 super interesting! Great stuff friends.

[@naturaljoe759]

Children of Bodom used the Lacrimosa - Requiem riff like 25 years ago. They used some other Mozart stuff on the same album (Something Wild).

[@ignaziosemproni]

Fuckin love the classical stuff that you put in your music!! It Is SO beautiful to hear and play! :D

[@BlackSwordsmanFit]

You know when a musician says “yea I basically just…” it’s some crazy riffs that isn’t “basically” anything 😂

[@henrikpoulsen2897]

Thanks for bringing on Tobi, next I wanna see Spencer!

[@jarunia17]

The cursed riff is so rad, good job fitting it in :D

[@TheAxlSnaks]

Love the Revocation shirt :)

[@sammybowker7823]

fuck Abandon the Linear is probably my favorite song, so glad the cursed riff made it in!

[@Phymatic]

Goodluck with the tour. Can't wait for you guys to come to Australia. HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE ETC ETC

[@Garroter.]

4:20 I asked Dean how straight he was in a live with Tobi. I now understand the akwardness when he answered.

[@searchingforthree]

Can't wait to see you guys in Richmond!

[@josueguillen5053]

I listen to these albums every time I go to the gym.I literally go insane.

[@Vastilious]

Same

[@LaurenAnne6]

I'll see ya'll in Lawrence!! So excited. It's been too long.

[@coreyblaisdell]

Seeing you guys tomorrow in Portland! Super stoked

[@WAXULIMATE]

Great riffs! Lovs all the details on the songwriting process!

[@aidanely]

Great to see tobi finally in a video

[@juliangruber]

You have good riffs. I really enjoyed this insight format!

[@WoWMinGM]

i wish this video never ends

[@ИльяЗубков-ф8ж]

[@Nathdood]

Thank you guys for all signing my hat last night! Was such a fan boy experience to meet you guys. Please come back to abq!

[@DingusMcBrungus]

Cool insight to the album. Abandon The Linear is definitely my favorite on it

[@thet740]

Hope to see you guys when you come to Winter Park FL. Will be driving out!

[@benlooper5394]

[@Shredder-KJ]

[@TimJim9090]

[@brianbutterworth6107]

[@Crimkprod]

Remote tumour seeker is by far my favorite songs of Archspire ! I wish I could play this one day ahah

[@chriswilson7688]

I can't wait for May 12th, can't wait to see you guys!!!!!!!!

[@Everythingwentblack69]

Glad you had Tobi on, both of you are such amazing guitar players

[@Knocker420]

Cool video, guys! I'm pissed that the Baltimore show is sold out already.. Have a great tour, Archspire!! You guys f**king rock!

[@Prompefis]

this was really entertaining and interesting. love hearing more of how the songs came to be. My favorite song of yours is remote tumor seeker. could have watched a whole breakdown video about it. thanks!

[@ryusukeyoshida3624]

Both are genuine humble tech death metal guitarist.

[@emilrostad9720]

Love videos about the making of albums and song and the way you work, like this and "bring back the danger"! And Bleed the Future is album of the year, easily!

[@bradkeating6428]

Super sick, I say do another even if it is about riffs from other bands you like. Rad as fuck boys.

[@ChuckBamf666]

You guys are hilarious! Loved you guys last night in Montreal! 😤🤘🏼

[@AllTheRamenOnTheSky]

This was a dope video, can't wait to see you guys next Saturday and Sunday

[@kylebaffi841]

Tobi seems like one gnar ass dude.

[@tlepsh_band]

I never gave tech death a chance.. I mean except for Necrophagist. And after watching your channel a lot I decided to give Archspire a shot.. Immediately hooked, bought the album, and now I fucking want an 8 string guitar... fuck. Bleed the future is my favourite song.. cheers from Jordan.

[@swinaecologist9610]

You should try infant annihilator too they're stupid heavy and super technical and they also use an 8 string guitar.

[@jackl9755]

More with Tobi!

[@metalband]

Thanks for this content, we love u

[@ErikAnders]

Tobi is like a cool version of Tom morello

[@z_y.o.u]

Holy shit, seeing that first reign show poster brings back so many memories. Still have my first reign cd’s signed and all. Lmao.

[@ericmorneau8819]

God I can't wait for Archspire to come play in Montreal

[@robmandel3413]

See you guys April 16 in Los Angeles.

[@upfromtheboginc.6204]

Hey its Tobi from archspire 🤘🤘

[@czechhusky4660]

Is there some story to the misspelled Canada sign on the wall?

[@DeanLamb]

Mispeled?

[@czechhusky4660]

@@DeanLamb No Miss Spelled, she's not married.

[@SiredbyFire]

Nice to see ya Tobi

[@SlipperyDucky]

Perhaps going forward we could just have Tobi playing on your channel and you just film him...he is an amazing guitar player

[@gej300v]

Tobi looked so good with hair WHAT THE FUCK

[@spirameowmeow]

Important frames in the video. They number 2 - armpit camera shot 1 and armpit camera shot 2.

[@Will-sg1qq]

im gonna try my hardest to see you guys

[@AoLIronmaiden]

That's a sick Seinfeld shirt! I'll have to check out that band 🤘

[@imgoongy8903]

Dean your arms are looking beautiful

[@swinaecologist9610]

For real

[@paulkepshire5056]

Dudes... So good to see you rockin' it in Portland a few days back! Dean: I didn't get the geographical reference back then (Abbotsford), but now I do. Good one! Lemme just say that I'm STILL HONORED to see you guys play for the first time, and I'm looking forward to the next occasion! Until then, STAY TECH, my friends.

[@paulkepshire5056]

Damn... I'm so f****** glad I got to hear you guys kick off the set with Remote Tumor Seeker, and then later play Drone Corpse Aviator. That was indescribably badass!

[@lydiagraham2188]

cant wait to see you guys at Dante's!!!!!!!!! I'll be the one in the front swinging my old man hair!!!!!!

[@PKudu]

You guys make me want to play guitar again.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

You guz play si clean and fast at such a high level it's insane man!!! I cant even string together single notes and 1 finger powerchords

[@CH-wk6gw]

Awww Tobi's great - more!

[@vethwynwetfeather]

Right on. Great vid! 🤘#TobiShouldBiteYourFace

[@ichbinkyle]

The best team building exercise, is shaving each other’s heads in unison. Feel what his head is trying to tell you. Run the razor once, play some fat shit, reciprocate, repeat. Diese Gitarren klingen gut! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Linkacide]

Violent by design 🤘🏻

[@SeanRickerd]

I miss hanging out with Tobi

[@Stonesorrow]

God, it took me 2 min before I noticed the misspelled Canada sign!😅

[@1sheldon]

More of these types of videos

[@francoistremblay2692]

I got my ticket for the Québéc city venue !

[@rondecaro]

I'm planning on trekking out to NY.

[@daoyang223]

This is called Tobis channel now. Dean is the guest

[@japanate8416]

So I just ordered a ticket for Rickshaw, but not completely sure if I can make it yet.

[@kurik666]

I want that seinfeld shirt. It's the real star of this video.

[@lemniscatusofficial]

Abandon the Linear intro always gave me vibes of Five Magics by Megadeth

[@89design9]

Where did he get that Seinfeld shirt!!!!!!

[@Stunprefo]

Hoping you guys come to the Maritimes for your next tour in Canada. I'm seeing all these tours popping up, and the only thing we're getting until 2023 is Imagine Dragons and Avril Lavigne.

[@ryanh1892]

Love these stories - it'd be cool if you could make some money by selling old demo versions of your stuff!

[@rishimehra5231]

They've literally SHREDDED their hair off!! Pun intended

[@bov3793]

"It's a simple thing" while shredding all over the guitar and i am here still playing the a minor scale

[@sunsoulaevis]

Yeaaaah, so Spartanburg is literally an hour away from my house but stuck in alabama on business not rly send help the banjos are coming closer

[@MikeSkinnerAudio]

Great video, always enjoy watching you guys. Serious quuestion, how can I get one of those Seinfeld shirts?

[@Nathdood]

You mean A.U.M. almost didnt make it into the album? I personally think it brought back the fucking dangerrrrr in the music!

[@japanate8416]

Shyiiit. I thought that one show is in Richmond Vancouver.. but it's in east USA. At least I know now. Damn.

[@pariah87]

Legends! Come back to Toronto or Hamilton might be cheaper/easier

[@skin4580]

Remote tumor seekers a masterpiece, no touch it

[@natenewtown3662]

Are we going to see a guitar playthrough or guitar playthroughs for anything from Bleed The Future? I'd love to see one for all of them but personally I think the titular track and Drain of Incarnation would be great.
