Lee McKinney (Born of Osiris) "Abstract Art" Guitar Play-Through

[@anthonybelliveau-ANYONE-2024]

This album is pinch fucking heaven, really wish they would go back to this unique style again. Those Sumerian bands really paved the way for metal. After the Burial, Periphery, Born of Osiris, The Faceless, Veil of Maya were such influential bands not just for the core scene, but really kind of started the Djent scene (not technically) but made it much more noticeable and paved the way for newer bands. I The Breather too.

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

That awkward moment when your guitar playthrough on youtube has better audio than the official itunes track.

[@kevinerickson84]

Lol

[@SuperNils666]

Cause that song was recorded in 07 when they were a small band, makes sense ya know since they have the best gear now aha

[@xx2]

i love that raw sound of the old material than new one

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

xx2 I don't. Too fuzzy. Not very clear.

[@KLBoringBand]

Well, the album was recorded a long time ago!

[@dsgustnjustn]

I wish this album was longer.

[@shellgecko]

it was an ep dude that's the reason

[@windexfighter77]

Antonio Campos I don't think he cares whether or not it's an ep, he just wishes there was more material on that record, period, dude.

[@joakoz01928374650192]

this was their best release

[@Aurora_17]

I wish Jason Richardson was still in..

[@astromtz9331]

Takes me back to my high school years 🖤🤘🏻😎

[@BarryBangemout]

I come from a Classic Rock Era, with a large mix of Jazz too. Heavy metal was born out of Sabbath and have always loved the dark tonal sounds they made. Moving forward, being a drummer, I listened to LOG, Gojira, and the likes of many others out there. It was by chance, I heard this tune on WSOU, a college radio station here on the East Coast. It was love at first sound! The intricacies, timing and methodical placement of each beat is what captured my interest. The sound (engineering) was very clean and every note discernable, However, I found that this was the only album with those types of songs and arrangements. All the other albums releases including the newer releases do not compare. I wish they would have kept up that trend of writing. It was masterful!

[@vivektalukdar1399]

This guy is just too awesome. I love your playing man. Big fan of yours.

[@Chapter93]

Is it just me or does this sound way better than the copy of the New Reign that I have? I'd love to hear this remixed and remastered.

[@stustockwell]

THE ETERNAL REIGN IS COMING

[@Delta0001-y]

It came

[@MARIODUTY666]

Men,how many haters and just 180.000 views??!! people,born of osiris is probably 1 of the 3 best technical deathcore today,i am trying not this song,just ''Recreate' in my guitar' and the hands and fingers of this guy,Lee, just fucking awesome! not typical 0-00-0... this is real ''abstract art''

[@dangit6599]

Been a fan for awhile now...reviews got me to listen...you guys still grind to mine ears

[@pablorobles7050]

Amazing cover Lee still loving your playing!!!

[@ColvyMolvy]

1:48 always reminds me of Crash Bandicoot xD

[@Scars2Bass]

+Colvin Molineux ahahahahahaha true

[@samwilliamjonhson]

+Colvin Molineux Which song is this Crash Bandicoot part from please man?

[@ColvyMolvy]

sam durden I don't know lol, it just reminds me of Crash Bandicoot. Those Egyptian levels

[@TheJonsalazar]

I know what you're talking about hahaaa

[@MrCocob90]

Abstract art

[@highradicals]

The title fits the song well It's really abstract and how some parts become so separated yet It all connects

[@WuKingdom1]

What exactly is he wearing and where can I get it?? I want to look like a vampire hunter too

[@fuckthisc1ty]

His style of playin is so versatile he compliments anyone he play with

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

sounds like a new mix. pretty sick if they redid some of their old songs with newer influences. that looks like a real chill room too; i can sense good vibes C:

[@MyScaryScrotum]

Sounds like Michael Keene mixed it actually. He produced and mixed a lot of the earlier Sumerian Records bands so I wouldn't be surprised if this is his mix.

[@DeathMetalOnToast]

MyScaryScrotum Michael Keene actually did produce this album in the first place if I'm not mistaken

[@devinmoran59]

this never gets old

[@AugieSubsJrock]

It's like, there are so many good lead sections and then they're done before you can even start to enjoy them and its back to chug chug chug squeal

[@DrOctatonic]

It’s the specific style of music. Ain’t nothing wrong with it. If you want pure death metal, listen to pure death metal.

[@KLBoringBand]

I'd love to hear The New Reign rerecorded. As one of my favorite albums, it'd be cool to hear it with some better justice to its production. Plus the vocalists have gotten so much better over the years.

[@xx2]

best BOO ever THE New Reign and A higher Place

[@lamborgatti-4783]

Yago the best BOO Is the discovery

[@luisvillalva5720]

Lo acabo de ver en vivo hace unos días, justo frente a mi, poca madreeeee!!! lml

[@TboneSTEAK111]

Looks like you're having SO much fun playing. I might be able to make it through the whole video next time.

[@soulrupture]

Beautiful!

[@AlisterTate]

Why can't their new stuff sound like this album? :////////////////

[@keithdick3720]

Why can't you listen to the first album instead of complaining? ://////////////

[@AlisterTate]

Keith Dick I just did :3

[@Natsumi170]

Keith Dick Why can't he express his opinion without being bashed?

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

cuz that wouldn't be very progressive now would it? metal is all about being progressive even if your genre isnt prog

[@keithdick3720]

***** It's a great record ain't it? ;) [S]unjay The Pøny He can, and he did. I didn't bash anyone here. Adding (if you genuinely want to know, cuz I can't tell over internet): Sometimes I feel the need to react to guys who complain but don't add something of value while they're at it. The metal scene has fucked itself in the ass due to the massive amount of people who're only complaining and can't see (or refuse to see, even) the beauty of each record nowadays released. Sometimes I grow tired of these people, thus I react. But I've never been harmful and this guy Tate picked it up well. Even listened to my advice, 's all good.

[@fierypunctuation9588]

Does anyone know how to play the very beginning part, I'm kind of a beginner, but would love to play Abstract Art, but can never get it for some reason. Especially the AH, those Damned squealies. >:|

[@PietroBlanca]

Beautiful Guitar

[@gracefulwindful]

Finally they release a video for one of my all time favorite BoO songs!!!!

[@MelkMan7]

Best album ever!

[@aslbled06]

Is that and EverTune bridge? Sick guitar! Awesome room! Dig the style. Lee, you are a monster!

[@XxTRIPPINGxxGUITARxX]

Crash bandicoot @ 1:50

[@gorehammer42o]

This is the BoO that I fucking miss. I feel like Jason joining your band threw you guys off, because The New Reign and A Higher Place were such great albums, then The Discovery(no comment), and Tomorrow We Die Alive(definitely no comment). Get back to your roots boys.

[@mrmeseekstruth229]

Phenomenal!

[@ace0swan]

GAAAAAH SO AWESMAZING!!! I hope the next time you guy's come to Canada you're not stopped at the border again! If not, I'm going down to the US to see you guy's!!

[@szd6477]

I wish I could be a guitarist in a band that plays music like this😩

[@seniorzolo3433]

That looks like a Music Man Majesty guitar, with a fixed bridge?

[@natec2]

all music man jp signatures have a floating bridge.

[@Min0rfr3t]

He probably just took the bar out.

[@seniorzolo3433]

Yeah, I figured all the Majesty's had floating bridges because JP doesn't use anything else, but dammit I want that guitar with a fixed bridge. I have never been able to tune floating bridges (despite instructions on how), and the "play" of the floating bridges I've used has affected my attack.

[@Min0rfr3t]

Senior Zolo Are you aware of a product called the Tremol-no?

[@seniorzolo3433]

I wasn't until you mentioned it. I watched a video about it and it looks awesome. Thanks for that!

[@FractalCo]

AWESOME!

[@ชิตตานนท์ศิริพันธ์]

How is this song dropped?

[@ManmohanSingh-hu1qc]

what's the name of the song which starts at 0.55?

[@alwaysunknown9486]

these videos are awsome just..... Lee at least smile once

[@Chillbrahurbad]

2:57 I like how you keep it Aqautic Ambience through all-that

[@seaburg38]

Wow - what a catchy tune - now I won't be able to get it out of my head for the rest of the day! Especially the first part, the one that goes duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh duh.

[@alejandrocardenas5506]

that guitar looks like toilet seat

[@nomsodmilk4457]

+Alejandro Cárdenas Hahahahahahaha Can't agree more

[@jdtrg55]

a $2,765 toilet seat i would never shit on 😧

[@Marksman5147]

+julian torres For a 6-string Jesus. Does he still use it live for the old songs? I never got a good look at it.

[@jdtrg55]

+Marksman 5147 He uses most of the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci signature models. They're GREAT guitars.

[@corybeckmann8823]

+julian torres you shit on toilet seats?

[@osirismata9370]

Eternal bro

[@intracosm]

Why aren’t there any god damn tabs for this anywhere? Can anyone hook a Mf up with new reign or higher place tabs pleeease?

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

Wait, if Lee just got a Carvin, is his contract with EBMM still on?

[@davidpoissant8473]

what do you think? lolol

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

David Nigg WELL it's confusing, but it's officially over. BUT he still owns this guitar and a few others.

[@equateproductions5684]

This band needs the A Higher Place sound back. Talk about their apex phase

[@erikkarlsson1570]

He look totally bored.

[@Jamespm666]

This song was written in 2007, he likely knows it like the back of his hand. Not to mention he has improved greatly since then. I'd say looking a bit bored in a sterile playthrough vid is justified.

[@ethangurevich4113]

Naw he’s just focused

[@OutsideOReality]

Pretty badass.

[@TDWP53]

Damn Lee really likes the colour white.

[@TDWP53]

***** I dont care.

[@jakestrom8395]

It depends on what country you're from.

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

It's classy.

[@jakestrom8395]

If you're from the USA, it's "color", if you're from the UK, it's "colour".

[@LeeDaOne]

Yeah from britain dictionary but if you are from Britain and moved to USA you need to spell shit right here just saying other wise people are gonna reign hell upon your grammar.

[@jerkmehoff9343]

2:34 is awesome

[@anjuxhitoshi]

People have to realize, this song is off their first EP, The New Reign. They had a different sense of rhythm & timing, plus, different band members. Maybe he felt like playing an oldie as a guitar walkthrough. All in all, BOO is nowhere near full of shit riffs, nor are they talentless, times have just changed & their music has matured.

[@3amsleep]

hey guys listen to these sweet collection of riffs.

[@cysign07]

How do I get this f*cking great sound?

[@TheVermifuge]

An EBMM Majesty and some AxeFX rigs don't hurt ;)

[@LobasOF]

easy just have $10k and you can do it.

[@cysign07]

I don't shape my sound with money ;) Wouldn't it be much better to figure out the order and settings of the effects to get that great sound? I'm pretty sue you might get this sound with free VST plugins of effect pedals below 500 $$$ ;)

[@cysign07]

[@Ghost17110]

Michael Weber Well, not sure if this will help, but this is my collection of VSTs: www.dropbox.com/sh/ihxx9ajo0wpex12/AACZh0scuzsuugWQjT0NaYHZa?dl=0 In the cabs folder there is a subfolder called TSE 808 and X50 or something like that, and basically to get those sounds (Or close) you need to use the TSE 808 with the tone maxed and the TSE X50 stock settings before the cab loader.

[@BrutalOwls]

Favorite BOO song!

[@metalgodify]

what kind of amp is he using? are those just a bunch of plugins?

[@J4keJ]

2:31 always makes me feel like Im playing donkey kong country.

[@micahprichard2033]

[@ชิตตานนท์ศิริพันธ์]

Is there a tape?

[@killtheflaws80]

I think the people bashing Lee and BOO are way too critical of his/their music. Unless you've actually toured and experienced the things this band has, you have no room to speak.

[@Balloonbot]

Of course people can critique them. Do you like every movie you've ever watched? Just because you're not a hollywood director?

[@ChrisPTenders]

If someone said "citizen kane" was garbage, does that mean it's a bad movie? No, it kinda just means they don't like it. People say Lee sucks, he doesn't, they just don't like how he plays now. Check the like/dislike bar. Plenty of people still like it. True, BOO isn't what it used to be, but it's not bad. At least it's eons better than most of their label mates.

[@gededonat]

what is tuning

[@bigal_3000]

Idk how they get so much gain but keep it sounding clean. My pinches die with high noise gate

[@drmezzer]

What kind of pickups is he using?

[@bryanm92106]

Pretty good cover man! You messed up one part of the song though...

[@celestialmonkey]

Kinda odd that they'd release a cover now for a song off their album from 7 years ago.

[@fastgraham1]

Fractal?

[@herms21]

back to the good old raw sounding not over produced born of osiris...the good old days ahhhhhhhhhhh. would love to hear a higher place remastered. the new reign was good but a higher place has been their best album my opinion..don't listen to much of these guys anymore

[@AndrewScott1337]

@:40 seconds has kind of a dream theatre vibe

[@Lexotanil69]

I came for watching him doing 2:34 Even so it was not him doing that, I don't regret coming here.

[@elasdickband027]

I will never understand people who put the guitar over their right leg. Between the legs makes so much more sense to me.

[@AugieSubsJrock]

+elasdickband027 It's all preference. I don't know how people can play standing with their guitar down at the dick line. To play comfortably and to play all the technical stuff I need it up by my stomach or slightly higher

[@juliuscaesar1388]

What you're describing is classical style, but a lot of people myself included prefer on the right or left leg

iLikeToShank you don't say. You can't just throw together a bunch of crap riffs and call it a good song. I'm not dissing the band, I love Born of Osiris, but in my opinion,the song is garbage. If you're not the kat that wrote it then you have absolutely no reason to take offense

anyone else notice how often he touches or fiddles with his bridge or volume knob (not sure which it is). Everytime he's not strumming his hand wanders to his knob haha
