Artist Spotlight | Funeral For A Friend | Gavin Burrough & Darran Smith | Marshall

[@lalakuma9]

They have the best guitar riffs in post-hardcore 🤘

[@harritsjenner]

funeral for friend, Saosin, Silverstein, they got the best riff in the genre

[@michaelkozma5929]

Absolutely Brilliant Songwriters and musicians. Funeral For A Friend are hands down the most underrated band of the 2000s. Nobody wrote riffs like them. Kris Combs, Darren, Gareth are all amazing guitarists. I had no idea they play Marshall now, those are sounding fantastic, they played Bogner amps on Hours 2005 album, sounded incredible.

[@stewartmclean7659]

I agree they were so good, my fav band back in the day

[@EvolutionIX219]

They are incredible live. Remember seeing them back in 06

[@michaelkozma5929]

@@EvolutionIX219 Yeah i saw them at Taste of Chaos tour at that time they were the best band on the bill.

[@ItsTheTravellingTrio]

Funeral for a Friend were criminally underated as song writers and as a band. Roses for the dead is beautiful.

[@lee8128]

Big stu must be buzzing up there knowing he brought the boys back together, y plas was absolutely buzzing that first night. Hopefully we finally get the next show in 2022

[@deifiedtitan]

Playing at Slam Dunk in 2024 🤘

[@DuelingPeaks]

The GOAT post-hardcore band 🤘

[@84jdgregory]

Started listening in 03/04 I believe. Hours is still one of my favorite albums from that decade. From start to finish it's amazing.

[@David-nd4to]

It really is. Their strongest album imo

[@raindrainxi]

It was such a mature and complex album for a band from that genre. It was unexpected. Such a great album.

[@louisxD]

I love FFAF so much. Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation is a classic.

[@David-nd4to]

Rookie of the year riff sounds nice here

[@rickcollingwood8828]

Favourite band ever. Can’t wait for the January show, praying it doesn’t get moved back again 🤞🏻this has got me really in the mood.

[@jehramyforks4513]

This is one of the greatest guitar oriented bands I’ve ever heard. Been a fan for 20+ and when I get into FFAF binges, they’re borderline obsessive.

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

At 14/15 I probably learned most of Hours (2005) on guitar. Roses for the Dead riff was a favourite its with first time I'd done 2 handed tapping. I think someone had uploaded a powertab to UG. I remember also recording a version of Recovery on some dodgy cracked version of Cubase using some headphones and a line 6 Ux1s . The UX1 still works! 😂 Ah good times. I'm 30 in march and I still play bits and pieces of those riffs everytime I pick up a guitar - even if that guitar now has 7 strings 😂 Thank you FFAF :)

[@Mariooo57]

A 7 string guitar? Time to play "Aftertaste" :)

[@JD_13]

Powertabs ftw. There was one dude on an old tab website that uploaded powertabs of both casually and hours. What a legend that guy was.

[@skutterbuster666]

Dude, that was the first two hand taps in learnt and got me back into FFAF, it also made me realise how good they was musically

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

@@JD_13 I probably downloaded most of them - 😂 might even still have them on my old laptop. I also had most of A7X city of evil. One of these days Ill be good enough to play all of syns solos lol.

[@JD_13]

@@Emm_R_Guitar i have a folder of about 300 tabs dating back to like 2005 haha. Some gems in there, and some i probably wont be trying to learn now 😅

[@cody4925]

Wales ?! I’m from Philadelphia, PA and these guys had a damn near huge scene here in the US. This music was apart of many millennials formative years - late ‘2006 onwards. Legends

[@suffersystemstudios]

Don't think I have ever heard of these guys, just clicked for some reason to hear the amps, but these guys seem like some good dudes, and great players. Def will ahve to check them out!

[@johnkelly3549]

Incredible band and incredible humans.

[@MegaSuperAwesomeBros]

what a treat to hear funeral for a friend for the first time. especially now with all the, somewhat meh, new music out there. hope you still listen to them!

[@zeromega]

You guys will always have a strong and dedicated following…i have been listening since 2005 or so

[@eldubya7972]

Darran Smith. As black as the night. What a legend.

[@agdrummer2610]

love seeing these dudes get their MUCH DESERVED flowers!!!

[@johnxmackenzie]

They 100000% created a legacy!

[@stewartmclean7659]

Love you guys so much, the guitar parts really inspired me, I'm now a full time guitar/music teacher. The way you guys wrote the guitar parts together and how they blended together so well, was so inspiring to me. Love you guys forever, always have been a big part of my life, still listening to your music today, its timeless. Keep rocking. Love from Scotland

[@alexiluffy216]

have you listened to Welcome Home Armageddon? truly underrated album, and the guitars are crazy as ever!

[@rickovrs]

The band that made me want to play guitar, sing and do both of those things in a band. FFAF is where it all started for me. Can’t thank them enough. 🖤

[@theowels5773]

Really nice to hear what they have to say about the scene when they were coming up and reuniting & people's reactions to it. I'd heard of them a few years ago but first heard their music when I heard Red Is The New Black in an episode of Torchwood last summer, so sick. Their melodies carry so much emotion 🤘👌but perfect blend with that aggression and grit as well with the tones and also the screamy vocals. I must check out full albums soon

[@balconyclubLA]

Love both of these Legends of the Shred worlds.

[@allanskate]

I'm glad to see you again. I'm a big fan since 2005. Greetings from the Philippines.

I could be wrong but Darren is playing his old custom 22 and then Gavin is playing a sc245 the old ones with the wrap bridge
