[@thewebhead6977]

Ah perfect, I was just in the mood to feel awful about my playing. Thanks Ernie Ball! lol

[@ibaneziori]

might be he bit out of condition. I agree that not a good take for his live. However, considering the complexity of each song. Still clean at the certain level. It is live performance, sometimes i quite like the mistake and messy part, at least not heavy post edited solo like some Instagram player. Still respect.

[@C0ffeeKing]

@@ibanezioriwatchu talking about lmao

[@ibaneziori]

@ to save your time. All in all, he is still good at live playing.

[@infinidominion]

​@@ibaneziorihe means this is amazing to the point where it sets insecurity.... because it was good

[@ConstantineM]

No worries, he's playing riff salad most of the time. Plus, he had time to practice 8 hours a day.

[@LukeHollandDrums]

That’s my boi

[@LayMyBurdenDown]

Whoa is this the VIP lounge?

[@AzureTears]

Lukeeeee you’re actually so good with Jason

[@gingerjay6483]

Are you and Jason still doing project? I remember all the songs y'all where put out being ridiculously amazing! Still have tendonitis on my workout playlist

[@GorillaNipples87]

This dude made me a better drummer. \m/ THE GOAT!

[@KrisMIW91]

He's so egotistical. When he was in Boo and seen him live. I dont care for the dude. His skills are unmatched but don't care

[@LordLeakyy]

This guy is an absolute MACHINE. Putting his signature guitar to work!

Thank you 🤘

Thanks so much!

[@clarkfisher8903]

Hero.

[@alexfleurent7674]

I hear the chorus of not alone so much in divine !

[@ryanls2330]

@@alexfleurent7674 I like to think that it’s a tribute to Oli and a gift to the fans that have been wanting a return to the Fall of Ideals. They couldn’t have picked a better song to release as the first single. Jason has breathed new life into the band. If you haven’t heard the new album yet, definitely give it a listen. A wild ride from beginning to end.

[@JimDewdGuitars]

Jason is such a phenomenal player live! So precise and clean! 🙌🔥

[@KingJerbear]

Love how Jason almost pays homage in the way he writes the guitars for ATR that respects their older content but also sounds 100% Jason. Outstanding player

[@codygranrud6212]

Well said.

[@Merkhhhhh]

A new lease of life has been brought into ATR with Jason, they sound as good as ever whilst still honouring Ollie.

[@synhet84]

Ollie's composing is no match... But it's cool to see Jason plays those songs.

[@DudeSmokedd]

omg his face says everything!!!! What a guitar master

[@mathprodigy]

Imagine trying to play that live with all the attention on you. Dude is insanely well-traveled with the spotlight, that's all so much harder than he makes it seem. His playing is so damn clean.

[@DudeBroPring]

The fact that he captures the old All That Remains essence in his new music with them is truly admirable. Keeping the legacy going. Thank you for keeping Oli’s style alive.

[@dimed008]

He is one of the best my favorite guitarist, hell yeahh 🤘

[@HansAaraas]

Jason is next level good. (He's also a great dude.)

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

The only thing that bothered me was the video where he intentionally misrepresented Neural DSP plugins to promote his Mixwave one, then doubled down on commentors who pointed out that he was being disingenuous.

[@HansAaraas]

@@EulogyfortheAngels I don't know anything about that, but having hung out with Jason on a few occasions at the guitar camps, I can confirm that he is indeed a good dude.

[@jasonallthatremains1206]

He's a great dude. Seriously! ..and his work ethic is practically unrivaled. Coupled with his raw talent makes him unbelievably good. 🤘

[@willygonzales1034]

@@EulogyfortheAngels Yeah, Jason doesn't play about his business. I mean that's understandable dont you think?

[@tomtommy306]

In all my 43 years... He's the absolute best guitarist out there. Fast and articulate.

[@KrisMIW91]

Charles from berried alive does it better imo. I met this dude years ago, he's an egotistical dbag

[@internetuser9342]

You'd think at your age.. you'd have realized there is no "best guitarist"

[@thefourthwritedjentleman3643]

[@johnnyboy5683]

Jason is an absolute beast. What a legend.

[@AlanScottBand]

Really inventive playing. Thought I would watch about a minute and saw the whole thing. Most stuff I have heard in this style seem a bit random, but the thematic elements of the composition are strong.

[@Dubfit704]

I agree 100%. I love some food shredding but a lot just seems to random but this all flows so well, like it makes sense

[@Jojo-bm4tb]

me, i just love his picking. it's perfect.

[@NickJ7903]

A true modern day Mozart 👏👏 I've always wanted an Ernie Ball guitar just because of how Jason shreds on them and advertises the hell out of the brand. Ernie Ball is lucky to have him!

[@Tmp3st]

He's matured so much ... serving the song with lush full chords but still shredding powerfully Phenomenal indeed

[@mikedawesofficial]

Next level stuff Jason 😮

[@nicolasfoss4683]

Great playing on a great guitar. Ernie Ball delivers again! Well done Mr. Richardson!

[@kenzenlee]

It was so awesome that I got to see this up close! Jason is an absolute beast!

[@gingerjay6483]

This man is a machine!!!

[@peppesgabello]

Too good to be live. Jason is a machine.

[@comet206]

the audio is dubbed over with the studio recording. everyone there was hearing the live version though. he apparently just decided to replace the audio before uploading

[@GrimPsychopomp]

​@@comet206its a backing track and you can clearly hear his live recording over it.

[@comet206]

@ yeah i can hear it now i was listening on a crappy device

[@jordanrush1988]

If there was any doubt that his guitar is live, there’s a tiny open string noise during the solo of divine. Which is insane because of how overall clean this performance was.

[@PabloSchred]

Also each pinch harmonic / whammy flutter - He nailed each one, at the speed, live.. Dude is on another level

[@hhaste]

Too hard to tell with this mix. Wish we could hear live audio better.

[@PabloSchred]

​@@hhaste I'm wearing headphones, sounds great to me

[@Hadri_ART]

Yeah you can tell this dude prepares events perfectly, like until he can play things blind. Every note is perfect and while doing these technical licks live it s mindblowing...

[@darrenhill3514]

I remember when Jason came into the scene with Born of Osiris as the young awkward kid but he was really too good for them without anyone knowing it. It's been a super fun ride to watch.

[@LarsGoldbachDP]

this guy is an institute for marvelous shredding and tasteful melodies for so many years now.

[@zackmilam6991]

Thank you for recording this and uploading it for those of us who couldn't attend NAMM!! What an amazing performance from Mr. Richardson

[@2good2betrue3]

Hands down the best metal shredder and riffer at the moment. (you can't name anybody as sick as Jason's playing).🤘

[@Sonnytimesalways-lx7je]

Jeff Loomis Keith Merrow , Ola Englund , John Petrucci Alex Skolnick, Marty Friedman , the list goes on ..........

[@2good2betrue3]

@@Sonnytimesalways-lx7je I've seen them all mate including Teemu of Megadeth, Tosin, Christian Muenzner, Gus, Slipknot, Synester, etc - all amazing players, as a metal fan I concur that they are really good .......... BUT not close to the precision and brutal dexterity of Jason Richardson especially when switching from Djent to Shred - If your a guitarist, just try to learn his song above Tendinitis (extremely hard to learn) and I can play a few Dream Theater songs but that song Tendinitis, I won't even attempt. He already surpassed his idol John Petrucci. Probably only Bernth and among you listed - Jeff Loomis or probably Keith (but not quite) are the ones that comes close ( I will not include "past shredders and virtuosos" like Jason Becker, Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, MAB, etc for the sake of being modern).... but Ola, Alex and Marty are 2 levels below JR.🤘 Cheers!
