MONUMENTS - Animus (Official Play Through)

[@BRNardy]

Oi, João! Bom te ver por aqui. Sou fãzaço seu! Abraços do Brasil!

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

I didn't notice until the solo that it's an ACTUAL play-through because these guys are just playing so fucking clean.

[@AshtonFitness]

The reason why I love John Browne's playthroughs is because they are actually PLAYTHROUGHS. He (and in this case Oly) actually include the raw audio direct from their guitars, rather than miming over the original song.

[@NOPPYify]

Yea and its FUCKED UP that it's this tight XD

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

John Browne and olly you will probably never see this but if you do I just want to say you guys are amazing and your styles are so unique it inspires me greatly and I try to think more out of the box when trying to write riffs. Thank you great video

[@James-yt6to]

They dont try THEY DO

[@adlerdefender8067]

Good musicians yes, infact hell yes, unique, not so much... They sound like periphery. Here is the thing, I don't see why emo clean vocals are becoming popular on djent.. to me that killed metalcore and I'm pretty sure is going to kill this gender too...

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

I'm not the biggest fan of thr emo style clean vocals but I do like some clean vocals in my metal ie killswitch etc. I was more commenting on brownes playing and technique and his style. I find his use of chords and phrasing to be unique. Imo

[@adlerdefender8067]

@@InfamouslyCantankerous I agree with you... I have the same issue with periphery, Mark is one of my favorite guitar players and his technique is very intriguing but their lead singer kills it for me when he sings clean... One of the reasons I prefer The Faceless, Beyond Creation and symbiotic..

[@icarustide]

I cling pathetically to the time I was tracking guitars with John Browne and he called my downpicking "annoying tight". This is clearly the greatest thing I will ever achieve while this amazing man and his amazing bandmates continue destroying it, time and time again. Big Fell Silent love Browne, and thanks for tracking that God awful Icarus Tide EP for us ;)

[@andewkltcz]

What an amazing super group. Andrew Garfield on vocals, Lionel Messi on drums, Marc Okubo on guitar. Who will be the next? Love ya guyz. Can't wait to see you back in Hungary to share some Unicum.❤

[@ledooni]

Browne must be the best rhythm guitar player that has ever existed. It‘s absolutely insane how easy all that downpicking looks with his technique even next to such a stellar player as Olly Steele. Just WOW! 🤯😍

[@myollinir]

dude ever since gnosis thats pretty much been the consensus to me hahaha

[@TheCurtisification]

Mother of god!!!! Music in a formalised form has been around for centuries but ultimately riffs or tunes have been present for the history of mankind. But no one in this whole history of mankind has EVER structured riffs like John and Ollie do. What an overwhelming privilege it is to be alive to experience this creation - I am humbled beyond my own perpetual idea of self and sense of reality to be witnessing such beauty. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!

[@neuk01642]

I simply don't ever get tired of listen to this! It's going to take some beating as the best metal tune of 2020. Also the added joy of watching you two play through is amazing! The cleanliness and control is something otherworldly. I want to get the tabs for this but I'm guessing they're in some crazy tuning? Brilliant work.

[@liamgideon9423]

if I'm not mistaken the tuning is DADGAD, as for tabs there was cover out the same day as the song by a guy who always releases tabs, his name is joão medeiros

[@neuk01642]

Liam Gideon cheers Liam. They actually have official tabs by Levi Clay on the Monuments site. I thought they used some peculiar variation on DADGAD but I could be wrong

[@jazzguitarstudentufc-fan3908]

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Single of the year in this genre, in my book anyway. Really impressive writing.

[@TheFloatingBartender]

Oh man I wasn’t ready for this track! Andy seems to have brought some killer seasoning to the band and Oli’s solo is straight fire! This song for me defines what an evolution of a band should be! All the top notch Monuments flow and some extra sauce on the side. Starting Jan off the right way... this is going to be hard to top! Man I’m blown a way what a belter of a track!

Hats off John... this is a gift for us fans. Just curious, I have the same Ibanez Axion Label guitar that Olly is playing, but I’ve noticed that he replaced the stock Bare Knucle Aftermath pups. What did he put on? I would’ve thought that the Aftermaths were a good fit for this song.
