Want feedback on your song? I also do song critique livestreams every Friday at 1pm PST right here on the channel!

Trey: “One riff is not a song.” Doom metal: “Allow me to introduce myself.”

[@krokovay.marcell]

Along with Seven Nation Army

[@benambrose8895]

Doom metal typically has more than one riff, most people confuse it with drone metal.

[@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb]

Doom metal: AND WHAT AM I? SOME KINDA FUCKING PLEB???!???

[@RiffFlair]

Which is why doom metal sucks. I said what I said. Fight me

I think that was 16 total? (not including the various emails & Disqualifications) Including DQs and dumb emails let's hope we get an average of 25 per video. It'll take 40 weeks to get through 1000 (but he can shave it in half by doing two vids per week!... right Trey?)

yes, 2 vids per week plz... i need to be gonged before 2022

Hello to everyone that caught the Wrath of Gong. Hang in there.

[@nigeltufneljunior]

Damn I actually enjoyed SLC Pain Train by Stefan Lucian Cicu (10:45) a lot! Well at least the part we were able to hear before he got the gong :-( I tried to find the whole song but couldn't find it unfortunately.

[@SLCicu]

hey man, thanks ! imma DM the link to you cuz it's unlisted

[@SLCicu]

And thanks to @Gear Gods for the gong. It's all in good fun!

[@nigeltufneljunior]

Thanks for the link Stefan. Great riffing and nice lead work too. Much more my cup of tea than the many metalcore style songs in this contest.

[@SLCicu]

@@nigeltufneljunior That's awesome ! Glad you liked it ! Aiming to release a 1st album with my band towards the end of the year - this song got cut from it since we think there are far better ones that we have! Will make sure to let you know when it's out

[@willlacy112]

Crossways COWARD was actually pretty interesting. I think that one should have gone farther

[@charlesoliviersdufaux6943]

You gong at least 5 song that i would have loved to continue

Then go continue them! Seriously the artists would love if you actually gave them a listen. If you think it was good enough to win.. go listen :)

[@charlesoliviersdufaux6943]

@@funkencool yes i will find them back and listen to them I think this video was just a show of of the new format instead of really focusing on do the song have something interesting. To me it was filling more like i don't care if the song is good or not i just want to hit the gong

[@funkencool]

@@charlesoliviersdufaux6943 haha well there's that too, but at the same time I'm sure he has a lot of pressure to make it through more than he was as well. IMO the way he's doing it now might actually peak more people's curiosity (who want to hear the rest) and ultimately benefit the artists who submitted their songs.

[@Jackpostguitar]

That second song was really sick for the first like minute when it was straight going !

[@guitardreamgirl9312]

I think he unfairly went a little gong happy. oops. Serious suggestion! you need to live stream your CONTEST entry song submissions! You would get A LOT more viewers than on the friday streams and you will get through them much faster! and then on mondays just edit down the highlights and post that. I think that would be a much more efficient way to do this.

[@harvesteroftone5473]

This ☝️

[@malliakoschristos]

Totally agree with this

[@saberreiter8569]

@DBHD Dude, it's his contest. HE gives away the price. Being mad won't change that. Also, if you don't like the critique.... nobody forces you to enter. - If you (theviewer) is interested inb listening ot the full songs- just check them out yourself, the info is in the video.

[@MushaFGC]

@@bl0rt0 I agree 100% and honesty only helps him improve. I do feel like he was way more lenient with the earlier entries, and is being much more harsh now. You can argue "that's just efficient blah blah blah", but goal posts have factually been moved, and that means those in the top 5 made it there under different circumstances. The fact is, under these new rules, the top 5 may not have made it there. Definitely was not prepared for this. That's ok, he's human, but lying about what it is doesn't really help anyone.

[@MushaFGC]

This is a better idea, the fairness of this competition is being affected at this point.

[@aprilkurtz1589]

Trey, I really like your vids. You are doing the lord's work, a yeoman's job, with great personal sacrifice. But I think it's possible to have a one riff song. You just have to change the riff or vocals slightly every time it comes around, and make the song short.
