Now this is how you teach a fucking song! This isnt a bias i swear (full disclosure: Huge fan), ive always loved videos that show close up the whole song, uninterupted, then explain. This way, people like myself who can learn songs by watching, and those who need the tabs (me too) or to have it explained, have that as well. I didnt realize this song was so simple but dear god it sounds sooo good on my amp LOVE YOU FUCKING MAGGOTS! GG

My favorite ear pleasing part of "The Devil In I" is the little bitty twang we hear near the end when it goes "nahnahnah tang putta tang" right before Corey signals the end of the song. To me that bitty part is what will or has made it a nostalgia song. It just with me, it hits a emotional sweet spot.
