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

[@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

[@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

[@ThatGuyOverThere010]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

[@johnnygotgrowls]

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

[@Blackerer]

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

[@CoreyAllgood]

Hi, it’s me, Mozart! Great job.

[@jessepusatero5511]

Hey Mozart good death metal keep it up

[@buttforce4208]

love your work

[@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. 🤘

[@michaellaviola6540]

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

[@apoplexiamusic]

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

[@spitefulwar]

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

[@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

[@fadingdimension]

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

[@Gojira_350]

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

[@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?

[@henrikpoulsen2897]

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

[@jarunia17]

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

[@WAXULIMATE]

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

[@juliangruber]

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

[@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!

[@BlackSwordsmanFit]

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

[@Phymatic]

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

[@coreyblaisdell]

Seeing you guys tomorrow in Portland! Super stoked

[@czechhusky4660]

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

[@DeanLamb]

Mispeled?

[@czechhusky4660]

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

[@Crimkprod]

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

[@searchingforthree]

Can't wait to see you guys in Richmond!

[@TheAxlSnaks]

Love the Revocation shirt :)

[@TimJim9090]

I really enjoy the insight. Great video amazing album!

[@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!

[@DingusMcBrungus]

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

[@josueguillen5053]

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

[@Vastilious]

Same

[@thet740]

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

[@brianbutterworth6107]

Please do one of these videos for every album...even the first one! Archspire rules.

[@LaurenAnne6]

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

[@Shredder-KJ]

I just got back from Atlanta seeing archspire was great show

[@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!

[@LeGrandPleb]

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

[@aidanely]

Great to see tobi finally in a video

[@Everythingwentblack69]

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

[@WoWMinGM]

i wish this video never ends

[@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.

[@theriguyayylmao3761]

Can’t wait to see y’all in LA!

[@ChuckBamf666]

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

[@Garroter.]

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

[@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!

[@chriswilson7688]

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

[@benlooper5394]

Gonna see you guys in Denver on april 20th !!!!🔥🔥

[@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!

[@sammybowker7823]

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

[@metalband]

Thanks for this content, we love u

[@ИльяЗубков-ф8ж]

we needed 10 hours of this at least

[@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

[@coolduke3000]

More Dean & Tobi please!!

[@mcspiffington]

i think the cursed riff is my favourite Archspire part. when that high melody kicks in... ho fuck

[@upfromtheboginc.6204]

Hey its Tobi from archspire 🤘🤘

[@SlipperyDucky]

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

[@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.

[@bradkeating6428]

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

[@jackl9755]

More with Tobi!

[@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.

[@ericmorneau8819]

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

[@joshuaevensen7647]

please come to oahu hawaii. Yall would kill it here

[@joshuaevensen7647]

@ TEXT me+①④①②②②⑨⑦③⑤① Golly mister!!!! I'm so excited!!!!! Not to mention amazed that Dean has a second account with his phone number as his profile name!!!! AND a Canadian guitarist has a phone number with an area code in Glasgow!!!!! So many shocking things!!!!!! I really hope you like getting spam texts!!!!!

[@ryusukeyoshida3624]

Both are genuine humble tech death metal guitarist.

[@japanate8416]

suggestion to play in some other video: Igorrr (the ending of 'Camel Dancefloor' for example!)

[@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! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

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

[@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.
