I don't know if you red comments, Matt, but you're exactly why I love Trivium so much. You are a musician at the core, and you love what you do, who you are, and your fans. You are a metalhead at heart and it's amazing to see how much other bands that are just as famous as Trivium mean to you. Edit: It's also just incredible to see how well liked and respected you personally are by other musicians. You're a legend. Looking forward to the new album and seeing you again when you come to Australia.

13:35 I absolutely loved the story about your dad. I know you're making him proud everyday. You rock, Matt.

[@a.kguitars930]

For all of the people asking about the Deans, there was a 7 String Rising Sun and a 6 String. The 7 String is the one that fell off the drum riser and broke the headstock off. Matt then donated that to a charity in Japan. The 6 String Prototype Rising Sun you've seen in past videos and streams he traded with a friend of his (Paul Terry, or Metalplums on Twitch) not too long ago for a couple of Aristides guitars (the one with the Floyd, and the Silver Sparkle 7, as seen in this video) Hopefully this clears up most of peoples questions saying "Where are the Deans, Matt?" "We know your hiding them", trust me I used to be one of those people

[@blazer350]

I knew I saw it on stream before. Didn't realize that's one of the guitars that got traded. Thanks for clearing it up.

[@rodrigogouvea7107]

Dude you can put a transparent vinyl on top of those that are signed, It will protect the signatures, and youll be able to play them!

[@praetorxyn]

Is there a specific brand or product you recommend? Because I have a guitar Trivium signed that I'm afraid to play. I live in a rural area and I couldn't find a shop to coat it in polyurethane for me.

Thank you so much Matt, I loved seeing your collection. I'd love to see Corey's next!

[@familia6337]

Been following Trivium since 2003, when Ember to Inferno came out. This guy is just amazing. Corey, Paolo, you're just beasts in the game too. They just fucking slay everything when Trivium's music starts playing. By the way, Catastrophist is just damn incredible, it reminds me of a lot of your songs from other albums and just fits right into your style. Alex Bent is another beast of a drummer. He's made such good work too. Just keep doing what you do and you'll have my freaking heart you boys. Really thankful because you helped me embrace life and happiness and fight like the titans you are. Thankful aswell for you guys taking the time to do a Meet & Greet in Barcelona back in 2017, I was there and the second in the M&G and just being right next to you it made me feel so freaking good I won't forget it. I still have the photo! I'll never forget that moment to be honest. So the only thing I could say is thank you, thank you for all, Trivium.

[@LI-md2cb]

I like how careful you are with every single one of the guitars, even the ones that arent signed. Shows how much you actually love the instrument and the craft

[@anahowana]

I love this video and how you run us through your collection with the kind of attention to details that you only hear from a full of passion guitarhead. Cheers from Morocco.

[@RyanCogar]

Watching this just makes me want that B.C Rich bass back. The thing looked so mean and going off of the Chapman recordings; the tone sounded excellent. Never cared much for B.C guitars personally but something about that bass and the colour (opposed to the stereotypical black "metal" B.C's we all thought were cool as metal kids) Surely I'm not alone here?

[@jesterspectre36]

[@The_G_in_Jesus]

these hints on new guitar and head models have me sitting on savings, even though i've been sitting on them for a long while. it was fun to look into all the crazy history and quality your collections of guitars have. my les paul is out of commission for a while so a schecter demon 7 is all i have for now. i'll rock it happily though. i'm trying to learn some trivium songs, but they are beyond what i do in any garage jam or noodling at home. it's a fun long term goal though. learning a lot, albeit slowly, along the way. much love matt!

[@Jeffmetal42]

Well he just made me feel better about my own issues with G.A.S. Yes.... Yes I do need a pile of guitars. Why? Because I like playing different guitars when the cosmos call for it. Most of mine are Jacksons tho.

[@MattSaintsMusic]

Just out of curiosity where are all of your and Corey's dean's? My first guitar that was ever truly mine, i practiced my ass off on some piece of garbage to get my Dad to buy me a Dean Razorback 255 because i saw you guys playing them during the crusade era, and obviously dime bag, but the fact that i went with the razorback was definitely influenced by Trivium. I thought that white and gold razorback was just killer looking, as well as both you and Corey's signature models with dean, and ive always wondered what happened with those guitars, and also what the story is in general between Trivium and Dean, because the signatures came out, and then it all just disappeared, and to my knowledge, Trivium nor Dean have still never really talked about it. In fact id love to see a video where we get to hear that story. Like whats up with the Dean thing? ya know? haha
