Reba Meyers (Code Orange) Interview

[@unoriginal_name7091]

Her writing is like some strange lovechild of Mick Thomson and Joe Duplantier and I love it

[@forkheader]

You know, it kinda is, which is why I love it

[@blackgumball]

Mick T from Slipknot? He doesn't write Slipknot stuff btw. Most old stuff was written by Paul and Joey. Newer stuff is between Jim, Clown, and Corey.

[@tn4234]

@@blackgumball wait, so paul and joey wrote the guitar parts back then?

[@_serpent]

@@tn4234 probably, joey plays guitar decently

[@blackgumball]

@@tn4234 Yes. Paul, Joey, and Clown started the band. Many old riffs were from Paul's older band...and they just twisted them a bit. Paul and Joey were like the main guitar writers...but that changed over time with Jim and Corey and Clown adding their stuff. Now, it's mostly Jim, Clown, and Corey who write the stuff.

[@dianabecker9568]

Reba is a beast on stage.

[@marksandberg9063]

In bed too

[@ethanmchael8917]

^ I see a creep

[@rudibasabasi]

that tone, that shape, that guitar is awefuckinsome

[@Transcendence-lf4ne]

Awefuckingsome? I like it.

[@BYTHEWAY9-x9g]

Reba shes a queen ♥

[@Terror0619]

It's crazy that alot of the riffs she was playing here were all from the new album that just released. At the time of the video everyone probably thought she was just jamming.

[@SomeJustice19k]

They probably thought she was jamming because it sounds so disjointed. The first riff was DYING for a resolution that never comes.

[@subliminal_beatz]

that's because those riffs suck ! XDDD

[@Terror0619]

@@varalis6325 she plays you and you alone the second time she played in the video and another song that I think is off underneath but I don't remember the name. So not alot of riff like I originally said. Only 2

[@MichaelMueller-vg3yr]

I saw Code Orange open up for Deftones a while back. It was my first time seeing Code Orange. Fucking sick man!!!!

[@bryanfukingfox]

She is the coolest chick EVEEER!!!

[@playsaks.2443]

Guitar is so beautiful.

[@dcox5555]

Her time signature is out of this world!

[@andrewloveless3921]

She's playing with marilyn mansons band, and her speaking voice is way different

[@Andf-kc4xx]

55 seconds in and my mind is blown away, but very very inspired, thanks Reba!!! Keep the metal flowing!!!!

[@mattman1127]

So glad someone put that headstock on the viper finally. That guitar is sooooo damn cool

[@Ahaji9]

Great interview man. Listened well, respectful, and asked great questions

[@MoonRammer]

this guy actually seems like a pretty natural interviewer, its not cringe like a lot of other people ive seen

[@timmiebrown4618]

Just mind blowing love her endless

[@MichaelMueller-vg3yr]

LTD/ESP guitars fucking kill it. The artist who play them kill it as well. Electric guitars are the dopest guitars I feel. Reba's Viper LTD reminds me of the Grim Reaper.

[@jamiepearson6580]

I've been diving down the rabbit hole of watching a lot of Code Orange interviews, and it seems to me that Reba doesn't really like interviews very much. It's like she does it because she can see it's a good way to expose her band to a wider audience, but she's not truly comfortable on camera in a well lit interview. On stage, that's where she seems to be the best version of herself.

[@desensitizedtv9862]

There's a podcast that did a phone interview with her a while back, and she's much more open and comfortable there.

[@animerandomness]

I think that's true with a lot of bands. They do the interviews because they know they have to so people know who they are and what they're about, but beyond that, they typically much prefer to be on stage or in the studio doing what they really love. I'm glad she's putting in the time, though, to do the interviews. She has awesome guitars and really good tone on whatever amp she's using. Also, did I mention that I think she's adorable? Either way, it's always good to see bands talking about their gear and tours. I admire the dedication. \m/

[@raul_138]

Shes great

[@kirbythecomputerguy7610]

,,, im proud of how the industry and specifically the Metal genre have embraced female band members cause believe me it wasn't always like this . This young lady rakes and has FULLY embraced her role in the band . IMO certain positions in a band by default inherit additional responsibilities that most people don't realize are essential in a bands development and progress.

[@abhnergallegos5264]

That’s a beautiful guitar

[@mil182]

“Games N’at in south side” sounds like the most Pittsburgh spot ever. Love the 412

[@lesternapoleongreen7543]

Yes...another 412 here....

[@revelation8199]

Seen her live, been in love ever since

[@77JSwanger]

So awesome to see a PA band killing it \m/

[@jimd2157]

She is the essence of metal. 1 totally awesome guitarist & kick ass band!!

[@endezeichengrimm]

1:38 She almost said STD! haha

[@MyEgoMyThoughts]

shes a dirty girl!

[@davidrocha2443]

She probably has an STD like almost every metal artist 😆🤘

[@gutierrezp49]

MyEgoMyThoughts cringe

[@smokehill7912]

David Rocha i doubt reba is that kind of gal.

[@rockopruden770]

Hahaha yes she did many she has one or two!?🤫🤭

[@Undaglibenglaubengloben]

She’s amazing

[@drummaDM10]

For anyone hearing these riffs for the first time I can see why people are hating on them, but TRUST ME and listen to the album and/or full band live performances, these are fucking killer

[@rhdemon]

Reba be a queen.

[@faathirmuhammad4348]

reba i love you

[@nightfighter7452]

Same

[@KALFU]

Reba... 😍🌹✌🏻 Yea baby.... 😁

[@brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap]

absolutely stunning, sounds gorgeous, looks gorgeous, the guitar is pretty cool too

[@ericlayton8888]

As a guy who primarily writes and plays indie tunes... I dgaf I want this fucking guitar

[@TBlazeC]

Is it just me but, is the riff at 7:40 you and you alone from the new album? Because that’s awesome hearing that riff almost a year before the album released

[@TBlazeC]

When I heard the riff on the album, my mind went straight to this video

[@nicolasgorszczyk9291]

@@TBlazeC they said on the needledrop interview that they've been working on it for 2 years, so maybe !

[@Terror0619]

This whole video was pretty much all new riffs from the album except a few. Crazy because everyone probably thought she was just jamming

[@felinekaiju4517]

I came on here to scope out an SG style guitar for something that'll doom!, this is perfect!. Neck through, M series reverse headstock, one pup, just a volume knob and a kill button, with a killer finish. It's minimalist and unique to the poiint of not being able to be mistaken for anything else.

[@deadspeak1126]

And it has a 25.5 scale length!

[@atticusdavis8475]

Reba is an awesome human

[@Louie_Chihuaha]

5:43 ❤️

[@tophatness5674]

If that guitar had a 25.5" scale it would be perfect. Maybe even 26.5", especially for drop B.

[@CristianoTonelFetter]

A true beast on stage 🤘🏻

[@rararasputin8608]

It looks like a raw school material. Can't name it, but it looks like actual good material.

[@gregschrag7848]

She sure plays a chunky mean riff, good job Reba!

[@bradblair3318]

Chiming in WAY late but does ESP offer this in 7-string?

[@matteocoda6368]

Last riff was quite sick

[@nifto8556]

Thought I kept blinking at 4:46

[@alexanderteh4870]

What name of these songs

[@justinwilliam4644]

Ferk she's awesome

[@alexm8443]

Holy ferk dude

[@nicksiciliano2]

Super inspiring best album of 2020 imo Now I gotta google what a chaos chord is

[@MoonRammer]

I love how genuinely humble she is.

[@TheCondorjc]

Whoa 😮

[@parakrambasnet6317]

Hey I think I have a huge crush on REBA

[@ethanlee9692]

NGL I kinda do as well a bit 🤣🤣

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Sick ass guitar.

[@turkeychoppers9101]

Reba always has been a rocker

[@caroyogavibes]

Does anyone know what technique she uses in the 0:56 ? harmonics?

[@Rex-sf8qj]

Yea, she uses "natural harmonics", they ain't that hard to do actually, there tons or videos on youtube that show you how to do them.

[@caroyogavibes]

@@Rex-sf8qj oh thank!

[@Rex-sf8qj]

@@caroyogavibes :D Glad to help

[@lobinzqui]

Code Orange its like Hanson band so mutch heavy black metal 😊

[@Gore171459]

REEEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@tommyfriedrich1473]

She's damn nice and has a tight playing style!

[@0oChugChug0o]

Chugs !

[@shuriken5645]

She reminds me of a female Alex Webster

[@TheFoxcrusher]

This lady smashes Riffs, also she can act as hard as she wants does not change that she be pretty as fuck.

[@meatsuit6922]

that headstock w that body looks so weird really great tone tho, its perfect for what they do

[@tn4234]

I think its shaped like that and not like the original esp cause its feel easier for her to tune on stage

[@JohnDoe-zq1ho]

Tomas M lmao what does headstock shape have to do with the physical act of tuning on stage? She specifically says in the video she asked for that because they need it due to how low their music is tuned.

[@1234DDIE]

I have an absolute crush on this beautiful women

[@DeadWirePromotions]

Woman* women is plural.

[@kristianrichardson576]

Jesus fucking Christ her riffs are fucking colossal

Please stop

If you were to ever buy Code Orange concert tickets, prepare to either be injured in two ways: 1: Dying in the pit OR 2: Getting kicked by Reba. Edit: Anyways, does anyone know what the songs she played were? They sounded great

Finally, she looked all fresh and clean.

[@travis8106]

metalcore money son

[@sexualsmile]

Ok incels

[@stopit2964]

mmmmm, ey baby

[@mattc420]

You can hear the pick making twang sounds off the strings with every strum. That's not a good thing. I guess you can't really hear it with other stuff playing but it just kills me to hear that going on. It's like harmonics coming off the pick.

[@aalegge]

So anyway, I started smashing (flags).

[@markolivares6943]

lol she’s about to say STD

[@murphysanders9878]

LOL and this is the band that thinks they are reinventing music LOL

[@murphysanders9878]

Yes they did, they said all other bands weren’t as groundbreaking as their releases, and turns out there is nothing special about them either

[@dbergreen]

@@murphysanders9878 I think they're special.

[@shawn_92]

Wait until they’re new album. It might not be for you but to deny their uniqueness would be foolish.

[@douglasransom4138]

If her voice was just the tiniest bit deeper, I would have mistaken her for a dude.

[@DiamondLifer]

That tone is god awful.

[@Inspironline]

This doesn't even sound good; its just muddied as f*** tones with some back and forth to give the impression of a rhythm

[@nolfred98]

That's the worst guitar i've ever seen

[@FlorieFlowers43]

Okay beavis

[@panzerlieb]

Frigorifero I agree and the tone sucks. Of course it’s got an EMG so that’s not surprising.

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

Active pickups through a Mesa man. That shit sounds DUMB. Beautiful guitar with the reverse headstock makin' the classic Standard Gibson look modern and br00tal.

[@MrMethadrine]

Am i the only one seeing that her voice is pretentious?

[@mrcloopreturns4265]

Yes
