Pinball Map is great!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@_Henrique66 it’s a fun one!

[@fullmetalguy8357]

- The chorus riff in Worlds Within the Margin - The chorus riff in Goliaths Disarm Their Davids - The main riff in Lunar Strain - The main riff in Clad in Shadows - The harmonized riff in Scorn - The main riff in Sleepless Again - The post-chorus riff in Minus - The main riff in Reroute to Remain - The riff at 0:27 in Subterranean - The opening riff to ~Message in a Bottle~, I mean, Jotun - The riff at 1:50 in Wayfaerer

[@louisyoung1916]

From this list...Pinball Map, Take this Life, Everything's Gone. Very impressed that you learned it all that fast, too. 🤘 (Farvann's lawyers must be good. I don't see a pie chart. 🤔)

[@Lotastic_Films]

I'm a sucker for the entire 'Come Clarity' album. 'I am the Highway' is also pretty sick. And don't forget about the classic 'Pinball Map'.

[@johnnyriffs]

Saw them live back in 1997 in Sweden! They played most songs from my favourite album The Jester Race + a ”new” unreleased song called ”Episode 666”🤘

[@vitorbueno4301]

Nice

[@mafiakickproductions]

December flower is my favourite In flames song of all time 😭🤘

[@Zach-sm1cx]

Stand Ablaze is such a good song and they just played it live for the 1st time in many years 🔥

[@MikeLtm32]

If it was not for in Flames and At The Gates all "metalcore" subgenre wouldn't exit, in my humble opinion. 😁

[@krikahalo]

I mean there’s 90s metalcore and deathcore stuff that has no relation to melodeath whatsoever.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@krikahalo yeah that was closer to the Hardcore scene more than anything

[@MANGRINDER_band_]

Yeah I know what you mean. Not all metalcore, but there's definitely was subgenre of metalcore that was very influenced by melodeath. The best type of metalcore if you ask me.

[@rudolfantlerofficial]

Slaughter of the Soul and its consequences have been a disaster for the metal scene.

[@MANGRINDER_band_]

@@rudolfantlerofficial fuck no. I love that style of melodeath. Meshuggah has been more of a disaster honestly, I love them but they've influenced a legion of uninspired, boring Drop E tuning bands that all sound robotic and the same. Hate the modern state of djent and how it has infiltrated metalcore. Although there are some good bands.

[@peternoschese9637]

This was a fun trip through time. In Flames was such a huge part of my youth

[@Wayfaerers]

Love all the underrated song choices. Also nice Mirrorjade jumpscare

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Based Mirrorjade enjoyer

[@Farvann]

Never got into In Flames, but this video was very nice!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Understandable, and thank you!

[@stevenlopez1380]

Unfortunate

[@COYM_1908]

No one asked, but since we are on the topic: It took me years to get into their music, I first started listening to Whoracle (1997) because it was featured in some book about the 100 greatest heavy metal albums of all time and I wanted to give it a chance. It completely changed my perception of In Flames. I listened to their 90s discography, including Clayman from '00 and fell in love with it. It still took me a couple years more to fully appreciate their more modern sound and albums from the 00s and 2010s. Now my favourite album is probably Sounds of a Playground Fading (2011). All of this to say that I started out by disregarding them completely because I thought they were 'not my style'. Then I found some sick riffs from Whoracle and now I'm at a stage in my life where I've seen the band four times (once before I became a fan) and met the band twice. You never know before you try it!

[@COYM_1908]

Seeing them for the fifth time this November, together with Arch Enemy & Soilwork! I'm still considering whether I should get an In Flames tattoo or not. To think that just a little over 10 years ago I thought In Flames was 'just another metalcore band'... I think it's kind of the same thing with olives or dark chocolate, you might hate them as a kid, but as an adult you'll slowly start to crave them more and more. Thank you all for coming to my TED talk.

[@EmberGlow_H]

@COYM_1908 yo i might be late to this but have fun at the show or i hope youve had fun incase times passed! somewhat in the same boat as you were. I heard about them because of their song "walking where the dead ships dwell" and didn't think much of it, but I'm slowly going through their entire discography (as well as a few other melodeath bands) and i really never took time to appreciate how much most of what i listen to came from this band.

[@jadenblack7712]

The Battles one HAD ME

[@ShadowTheFoxx]

My goodness you are good at guitar, keep up the amazing work

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much! :))

[@Opeth1581]

Battles...🤣🤣🤣

[@jepserstromblad]

great work.mate!!

[@reuhka]

Nicely played mate. Though I thought those hairband tampons stayed in the early ninties 😉

[@mattnobrega6621]

Great band and great job playing

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you!

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Oh... I see it. The timing of this video coincides with the new album. You dug some forgotten gems here. Good job!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you! I found some seriously underrated songs post Clayman.

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

@@jojoplaysmusic Yeah, there's some great stuff there. I'd even dare saying that if you dug deeper, you could find something in Battles. I reckon it's their weakest album, though, and that overall it sucks.

[@necroticpoison]

Great vid🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tothpeter2296]

I, too, play Branded Despia... That, and Cyber Dragons

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Cyber Dragons is my favorite deck ever, and Branded my favorite meta deck.

[@ChildOfTheGrave]

Awesome! my fav band

[@nestalgeek3991]

I used to listen to In Flames back in the days, with Dark Tranquillity. I really liked their post 2000s albums, including Clayman. Never really cared after that :/

[@stevenlopez1380]

You’re missing out on some good shit

[@Theskullcrusher10399]

Lunar strain and the jester race are in my top 5 albums of all time both are 🔥🔥

[@rev9737]

dead eternity is so fucking good. especially the subterrannean version.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

It’s so good that I had to include it in the album after so I could have more subterranean.

[@rev9737]

@@jojoplaysmusic lmfao for real

[@reoni0]

lord id die for that neural DSP preset Sounds really good!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

ALL my presets ever are on my Patreon

[@SLAWWNN_2214]

Очень круто! Чувак фанат)

[@diegoornelas4948]

In flames es mi banda favorita ever!!! Grandes grandes riffs, pero sí, aunque Battles tiene sus pequeños momentos, en su mayoría se centra en coros de puras quintas :S

[@ivanzivanovic4013]

Omega Grano...good choice for in Flames toans...

[@jojoplaysmusic]

;)

[@Lotastic_Films]

Awesome Riff Journey🎸🔥🤘 maybe you can do a 'High on Fire' Riff Journey next? They have some of the nastiest sludge riffs ever. Greetings from Lotasticland

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Im not really into them. So probably not 🤷‍♂️

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Qué bueno está el nuevo disco de In Flames 🤘

[@joshforeman1648]

You can definitely hear where Trivium got their influence from

[@xpertbrewer]

Do crawl through knives!

[@scroopynoopers248]

What’s wrong with Battles? Underneath My Skin has riffs that would have been appropriate.

[@znzzh8622]

kind of got into mainstream like metal ore in American circle after 2000… Good job on the guitar BTW!

[@znzzh8622]

Metalcore*

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you!

[@krikahalo]

Would be interesting to hear a Deeds of Flesh riff journey. God knows I couldn’t pull that off.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Ooph, I’ll see what I can do.

[@РоманСажин-ж1п]

Огонь

[@juleitf]

Good video. But one question can you give me some tips on how to Improve picking technique and make my playability nice and clean? I'm mainly focusing on tech death metal

[@yogxoth1959]

Battles 👌 😂

[@danielmichejda8021]

be careful to your shaking monitors 😄😄

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Yeah those are at the verge of falling off. I desperately need a new desk.

[@bernardalfonso5112]

Del álbum Battles, el tema "In My Room" es una joya, tiene unos riffs magníficos.

[@wheelsofmercury]

Don't like Battles, eh? 😆That's ok... I like it. A good rock/light "metal" album, especially for if you're driving and you want to rock out moderately.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I just didn’t find any riff that was fun enough to play

[@shadowcrimson6232]

Soundtrack To Your Escape sounds pretty good with proper tone for guitar/drums... can't stand that album's tone except for My Sweet Shadow

[@Fromagreatheight]

lmao as much as battles is probably my least favorite, it had some killer stuff from Bjorn in some of the songs. The End almost sounds like Embody The Invisible if you strip away the poppy stuff from the song

[@MiCKeeMoUsEe]

I dont know if its just the recording or your EQ but any more than 2feet away from my phone and this sounds like static. Good covers but you gotta work on your EQ, it's extremely muddy

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Most likely it’s your phone’s speakers

[@rudolfantlerofficial]

Phone speakers are awful by design, I'd recommend listening to this on a decent set of headphones.

[@rev1ction]

You put all your gear except your monitors!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

They’re the Mackie CR3s!

[@rev1ction]

@@jojoplaysmusic Sweet! Great playing and riff selection!

[@antoinej1554]

Though the overall mix was kinda lame, Battles was still a good album :sob:

[@MalMotorDedo]

Idk, in flames sounds like Iron Maiden w blast beats to me, can't get into that :/

[@massivemoon7495]

Great band until reroute to remain and the slow decay into corecrap

[@dethbridge8755]

Eye contact please
