Matt Heafy (Trivium) - 'Like A Sword Over Damocles' Guitar Cover by

[@curtiswardley6312]

Ayyyyyy cheers for checking it out Matt, probably the hardest from the new album due to the leads (I lost count the amount of times I slowed down the riffs and solos in Protools) and the “yep this hurts” section… what a burn but an absolute blast though! P.s. if you could delete Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis from the discography so people stop asking me to play it that would be fantastic.

[@FullMetalAsh]

We will never stop asking. If anyone can do it you can my guy!

[@konj5]

we are still waiting for the Crusade mister 🤔🤔

[@Mister-Sinner0]

you do good stuff man i played kirisute gomen totally wrong for years til i saw one of your vids ;)

[@chrstn000]

what's wrong with Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis?

[@leadier]

Guy in the back digging away needs some big props, the workers like us keep the shows going for the "stars"

[@Blank_Account]

Matt’s face is like “hmm, third guitarist?”

[@allgamingnetwork9448]

dudes a beast def backup up live if needed

[@AkitaMetal]

There’s 1 thing making covers then there is playing live without mistakes, not to take away from Curtis I am a fan of his.

[@Blank_Account]

@@AkitaMetal I mean hey if you’re playing songs live by the best band ever you’re bound to make AT LEAST one mistake

[@AkitaMetal]

@@Blank_Account yeah of course, but takes Curtis literally 100s of attempts on some solos etc. Even though he knows what notes to play.

[@mattrutkowski5305]

How John Marshall filled in for Hetfield…NO bad omens for either of the boys, but just in case some stray pyro catches them….

[@reaverofsouls]

Dude is a beast. Been watching his stuff for a while and he always nails it.

[@thiagogomes9204]

So nice seeing great artists being so humble on their fans' takes on their own work!

[@VeneficaDelirium]

He always has something positive to say. It really restores my faith in humanity to see someone with so much talent encourage and hold others up.

[@arengray1837]

0:35 the heafy nod of approval

[@SuRGeoNofDeaTH.]

You can tell Matt is kinda proud for Curtis. Best Trivium cover man out there. (and Nik of course :P)

[@jonathanfoskey4010]

Nice to see a fellow heart pirate somewhere you wouldnt expect lol

[@xRyuSeiKen]

We want Curtis Wardley on the next Trivium Tour \m/,

[@flavy1000]

Yes..and I want to see them Live in Argentina!!!

[@AhsanU]

Dang, I haven't been covering any Trivium since life caught up with me (career, wife, kids, etc.) but I wish Matt would've seen the covers I uploaded back in the day. But Curtis definitely nails his covers and Damocles is easily my favourite song off the album.

[@Riomasa]

Your insurrection cover was the nuts back then.

[@AhsanU]

@@Riomasa Haha thanks, I'm probably most proud of the Anthem cover since I got their exact Dean guitars to cover it :D

[@natec4743]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful man that is Curtis Wardley to Trivium fans who may not have heard of him yet! Well deserved!

[@centralia83]

That dude is such a beast, and I love his guitar tone also. It’s very nice

[@floridianthrasher5426]

Have you seen his aresenal? He's loaded

[@himawarii_gg]

dude's a beast, it looks like you found someone who can fill in for a tour

[@ascendancy4900]

I'm so glad Matt reacted to this guy on his stream! The dude's a BEAST and he's been doing the best Trivium covers on guitar for years. His playing is crisp asf and he ALWAYS nails the Trivium tone and the way it's supposed to be played. Thank you for recognizing him Matt!

[@marc-etiennemercier6584]

Yea he's sick. He must play every song by now.

[@lucasaal61]

Nothing to see here. Just two kings appreciating each other's work.

[@DahakaCL]

I'm a fan of Trivium since 2005 and the tones he is able to reach and how he covers so naturally is for sure the best guitarist covering you guys. In case of needing a guitarist to cover a show, he's the perfect match.

[@littlearmguitar]

Matt, you should make a collab with him. It will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@netv1]

This dude is insane. Awesome cover

[@Ezop717]

You can look at three things forever: 1. How someone chops a riff on an electric guitar. 2. How Matt evaluates skill 3. How does someone else work

[@thewomanwithnohead]

Curtis is a pure beast !!! So glad he's finally getting all the love he deserved after all those years of insane covers

[@nrogue9887]

everything this man does...inspires people....matthew please never change

[@cristiannicolas5914]

Matt please play with him in tour man he deserved it

[@graysonparks2775]

FOR REAL!!! THIS DUDE EARNED IT! I learn Trivium songs from Curtis! Seriously, put this guy in a show!

[@DavidRodriguez-jd4ot]

I commented in his videos, he is the most accurate trivium cover guy, definitely

[@mrJebus311]

We need you to help us on the journey to get a hair care tutorial out of Curtis.

[@chrismeadows4216]

I'd like to imagine that Matt lathers his long, flowing mane every other day!!! 😅😂😂😂

[@localmusiclover605]

THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!

[@cidkplas]

Matt looks like a proud father on this cover

[@connorbaker1716]

This is hands down my favourite song from the album

[@BanditDil210]

Everyone: dude's a beast No one: No one at all: what are those men in the back digging for

[@RetroSanity]

The master approves of this guitar wizardry

[@Metaldad87]

Tone and playing is sick on this excellent job!

[@chronox2]

So no one will say anything about the sacrifice buried on the yard, for the guitar gods to give Matt more speed?

[@ioyaga337]

His tone, beard and hair are near perfection.

[@jamesbrumley6926]

Many thanks to Trivium for all the "this parts hard faces". Impossible stuff is so fun to play. Eventually. Lol. This wins Idol or gots talent if talent were to become the criteria used to determine their winners.

[@maskatti]

DAMN

[@aaron.biketrials]

4:15 “f**k you riff”

[@Asvin1982]

great cover by him ! amazing skill

[@emayfrit]

🔥This dude really is The Paragon of Trivium covers! He always does an Amazing job, an automatic go to for clean accurate covers, and Full Justice to the Trivium Metal Masterpieces 🔥💀🔥

[@NekBodesh]

Curtis is next level

[@marksonv_01]

Lets gooooo Curtis

[@Jose-jl4fy]

[@ToadieSage]

Matt must've got his Christmas bonus and is putting in a swimming pool for the family.

[@callumfinaughty6779]

@curtis You have made it bro.

[@jordanbenson2980]

If you need someone to fill in, there is not another that deserves it more.

[@seanmurdock5640]

How long does it take to dig a hole ?

[@israelfreire7893]

A melhor coisa do vídeo são os caras trabalhando ao fundo!! A portuguese coment for you guys!

[@Sebassie]

Matt's frontyard will be in the news once they discovered the body those guys buried.

[@MickeyGemInEye]

Green screen housework... Nice

[@MrAndyNich]

Shoulda opened the window and cranked it up and that guy in the background would of been shoveling 100 mph.

[@cristiannicolas5914]

Mmm Curtis my hero

[@ronaldfox8520]

Anyone else the construction crew rocking in the background?

[@wanmuhammadfadli7032]

[@AussieBassplayer]

[@liamhudd6735]

Surely you have to give him a new Sig right?

[@mymp18]

Matt : i made the riff so hard, and you ......

[@KRayxKodessA]

I see the graves are still being dug in the background.

Sad thing is that I'm slightly more interested in what they're doing out In Matt's yard. The last few videos I've seen the landscapers out there

[@frankberg4266]

Looks like a B.C. Rich warlock in the back. I have one myself lol. Only B.C. I’ve owned.

[@BlackenedEclipse]

Nothing more Metal than those Grave Diggers, wonder if they know whose house they’re working on. Dude is that the dude from From Linkin Park no dude it’s the dude from fuckin Trivium! Lmao 🤣
