Hahaha that lick he talked about repeatedly playing over and over is the same noodle Skwisgaar is always playing in the background of scenes in metalocalypse. Nice little personal touch in there

I think it’s mandatory under guitar law that everyone’s first 2 songs to learn on the guitar must be iron man and smoke on the water.

this dude reversed balding

I love his cartoon “Home Movies”. One of the most underrated cartoons ever made. Genius comedy.

I actually met Brendon Small at a signing during DethAlbum II I brought him my white les paul special with scalloped frets for him to autograph, and my friend brought him his metallica poster and Brendon said "You know I helped make them famous?" and we all laughed, and Brendon gave me a hug, hes a great guy. Man those were some good times.

"Everything's hard." Dude he's so right.

[@hawnick7234]

I feel like his guitar journey is the same for many of us who clicked on this video.

Brendon Small looks like that cool teacher who’d talk about Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath during lunch or study hall.

Hearing Brendon talk about never playing full songs makes me happy knowing that I could relate to guitar god

[@epblu]

He's basically Mike Judge if MJ could shred in a death metal band.

"I would never play a full song. I would only play bits and pieces of songs."

[@archenemy1124]

"Go into the water" is a fuckin banger. Truly epic song

[@BaronNate]

I could listen to Brendon play all day long. His music and the show Metalocalypse got me through some VERY tough times as a PTSD diagnosed vet. The music, the show's humor, were both dark and brutal and would give me back that bit of edge I had lost inside. It may sound stupid to me now, but at the time, Brendon's music and Dethklok stopped me from eating a bullet or a bottle of pills. Thank you Brendon for what you have done. I'm alive because of your creations and the power of metal.

The exercise that he took from Gilbert is actually what skwisgaar plays all the time

The name of all songs, for the youngers:

When I saw Dethklok live, it was the loudest and most brutal show I've ever had the privilege of attending. They toured with Mastodon and it was an absolutely awesome show. Mastodon played the entirety of Crack the Skye, which was amazing. By the end of Dethkloks set, when I walked out of the Armory, my ears were ringing and I could barely walk straight. It was such a good time! Here is to hoping another tour with the release of the upcoming movie. Love you Brendan, you rock!!

[@ieatyourbrain8478]

Dethklok's Awaken never fails to give me goosebumps, great riffs!

[@jameswilliams7059]

Dude the thing about never learning a whole song is too real. It's crazy how stoked I was to learn the intro to Devi's Island by Megadeth even tho I couldn't play the rest haha

[@reverendg5937]

This so cool listening to Brendon tell us his journey of guitar. Sounds like the same journey we all took to become Guitarist. Crazy

[@SketchEtcher]

Metalocalypse is a brilliant comedy, and the fact that Brendon composed the music and produced the shows on top of writing the thing is mind boggling. I’ve watched the whole series about 10x and am watching it again currently (they took the first several seasons off of Adult Swim for some reason). It gets better every time I watch it, especially Murderface and Toki.
