2:59 that riff is worth a million dollars...

[@davidlindsey5363]

Absolutely one of my favorite periphery riffs of all time

[@guilhermeartuzo7630]

One of the best riffs of modern metal

[@Johnathanathanathan]

Damn dude, you nailed this. I don't understand why the Periphery guys haven't commented directly on this video, making you an honorary member of the band!

[@glenhuman3681]

Nice job!! Also like the way this was filmed!!!

[@rikimandala3378]

Nice bro, this song is very hard

[@mattman1127]

This song is hard as fuck jesus christ

[@Drpepperkiller10]

What's more insane is how they even came up with these riffs. Hard as shit indeed though

[@furbyoats1]

Only possible criticism I could give is that the 2nd solo was a little off... ...but then again, that is Guthrie Govan and even Mark Holcomb is a little off when he plays it live so really I'd say you nailed it. Sounds awesome!

[@samjerbs]

yeh Guthrie is an absolute monster, hard to be too critical

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

I always listen to the start of Guthrie's solo on this song thinking that he was doing some tremolo work to make the notes bend like they did, but from the covers i've watched everyone was playing mainly hairdtail style guitars and playing that solo flawlessly, so idk if he did or if people just found a way to work around it lol

[@KeithRobTV]

His picking hand is so on point! Rock on bud! \M/

[@dancinglikekaplan8010]

This is amazing. I've never seen another cover this accurate. Amazing...

[@Aer01614]

Dude Kevin, really awesome job on Guthries part and nearly flawless everywhere else. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@frankyeichler3303]

Fantastic cover, man. I love how your pinky always sneaks its way back in whenever needed, but stays unused most of the time. Even more impressive considering this is such a difficult song rhythmically

[@mebibyte9347]

Hot damn!!! Soooooo smooth

[@DMBRNGR-nm8wd]

I feel those faces in my hand. That's how I feel when I play Vitalism tracks. Good cover man!

[@CarlJohanRenault]

Outstanding performance! Your tone and phrasing are spot on man!!

[@brendonguo]

seriously!!! i like ur tone,, an awesome cover

[@SeacowCabs]

man! this is the best cover of this song!

[@jayreyes7926]

Amazing man, you deserve the best.

[@Kabz8]

You did it. Guthrie Solo and all. Respect!

[@hex0sphere]

Absolutely fantastic dude! Now I'm going to waste hours attempting to learn this.

[@cooliusmaximus5802]

CanYouNot you're going to spend time learning it. you'll learn it.

[@Son-vy5rl]

just out of curiosity, how did it go?

[@allenjernigan4448]

This was great bro. Well done. Video looks great too!

[@DiazStockton55]

[@Fredsen1711]

[@raynmakr13]

[@KevinDanneman]

raynmakr13 Thanks man! I really appreciate that. I'm gonna try to upload as many as possible this year, so stay tuned!

[@deathmetalmarten]

Insane chops.

[@theblokelifestyle9015]

Well this was excellent

[@Beeraii1]

The tone!

[@elisenoemie]

SERIOUSLY. You deserve way more views. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! :)

[@elisenoemie]

+Heisenderdz And oh, yeah. Props to Keith who shot this video. It's simple but I like how he did it.

[@MichaelAveryMusic]

Yeah, basic white dudes playing metal unite! Sweet cover!

[@chrisfernz93]

Dude you fuckin murdered it!!!!!!!!!

[@guitarliano9533]

Clean bro. Nice job :)

[@spookyintentions989]

I love that tone

[@hafizrosli7640]

awesome cover!

[@paulphipps4388]

Great playing

[@BlakeMullens]

Fuckin hell man, you nailed it, props.

[@diogorecharte4979]

Great job mate and awesome tone. I was wondering what pickups are those?

[@johnreeves6621]

Nice playing!

[@moreirazrael]

Man, You're a great guitarist!

[@KevinDanneman]

+Gabriel Moreira Thank you.

[@aldo_pinheiro]

Not flawless, but fucking perfect. Dat passion. One of the best guitar covers on KZbin.

[@KevinDanneman]

+Aldo Pinheiro Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@garyboudreaux4580]

Just Beautiful...., How did you learn the Guthrie Govan Solo? Were there tabs somewhere or...was it easier by ear?

[@KevinDanneman]

It's not perfect, but I just sorta took what tabs I could find online and pieced everything together by ear. That's really how I approach all of my song learning.

[@tamasszecsodi3887]

Who needs a pinky, when you can play like this. I use mine, but wouldn't be able to do the solo. Good job!

[@sebwest11]

What string size do you use? And do you have to have a higher string height to play in that tuning? Love this cover. Amazing sound

[@KevinDanneman]

+Sebastian Westby I use .11 .14 .18 .32 .44 .56 You just have to adjust your string height according to your gauge thickness. I like a really low action, but with a thicker gauge you might want to raise them up ever so slightly.

[@zacktaylor8823]

Nice to see someone using a Paul Reed Stanley as well. Good work brother.

[@igor9219]

Zack Taylor You mean Smith

[@dracorl3]

awesome

[@Killerskies0909]

You see those three dislikes??? Yeah? those people are dead now

[@DandelionVolta]

Suscribed!

[@ScaryKeyboardMan]

Where did you learn this?

[@tysonreesmusic]

Epic, but that camera going in and out of focus did my fucking head in!

[@gabrielfrison]

Well done man, it's a difficult song! What pickups do you use?

[@KevinDanneman]

+Gabriel Frison The pickups are stock HFS and Vintage Bass by PRS.

[@thevamp61699]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THISSSS!!!!!

[@KaueWienandtsflores]

HOLY SHIT

[@Airguardian]

BTW, how do you get that sound? (Pedals, amps, etc...?) Sounds pretty neat :)

[@KevinDanneman]

+Airguardian Simply put, my sound comes straight from the Fractal Audio Axe FX II. I can't recommend it enough.

[@Airguardian]

It's not the first time I hear a setup that I like and comes to be there's an Axe FX II behind... Should start saving up money, LOL... Thank you!

[@DiscipleFiveActual]

That's a bit pricey for me... But could a Line 6 get me close until I can afford it?

[@Airguardian]

I like the Line6 sound too... but can't remember a Line6 setup sounding like this.

[@kevinafterlife]

hey man what camera did you use? you are amazing!

[@KevinDanneman]

+Kevin Robles Not sure what my camera guy used for this video since it was a couple years ago, but I currently use a Canon Rebel T5i.

[@tylerbelisle-toler9388]

Dude! John Mulaney can shred!

[@MikaTarkela]

Sounds great! What pickups are you using?

[@KevinDanneman]

Thanks man. The pickups are stock HFS and Vintage Bass by PRS.

[@tapion123]

Your guitar tone reminds me of van happen with a chorus pedal all nobs turned to 10

[@johnsmithson1073]

Can you release your patches?

[@JackelPun]

Love ur covers man its awesome! Is it ur home or ur studio?

[@KevinDanneman]

Thanks buddy. It's my home studio!

[@agenggiri2424]

wow you guys great gitarist!!

[@baksh_3803]

カッコイイ！

[@ruibarroso658]

Woow...!!Can you have this tone playing live?

[@KevinDanneman]

+Rui Barroso Absolutely!

[@kittyvlekkie]

what pickups did you put into your custom 24? im looking to replace my pickups too in my custom 24

[@KevinDanneman]

Daniël Kortekaas These are just stock HFS and Vintage Bass pickups that came with the PRS my friend.

[@kittyvlekkie]

Kevin Danneman nice! my PRS has 57/08 which are much lower in ouput so yeah ill need to replace them :P

[@gearsofpizza2]

I dont even want to try covering that song. Think i would smash everything in my room 😂😂 holy shit.

[@TobiasStulz]

Have u used an motorslider?

[@KevinDanneman]

+Tobias Stulz / Music, Metal & More Nah, just a mechanical one and an operator.

[@welltrevisan]

great cover man! which PRS model is that?

[@KevinDanneman]

Well Trevisan Thanks dude! That's a 2011 Custom 24 w/ pattern thin neck in smoked orange.

[@alexmuscalu8439]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS ?!!!!!!!!

[@jeandrepistorius6919]

nailed it 😱 well done... what back track did you use ? the original song ?

[@KevinDanneman]

Yep.

[@jeandrepistorius6919]

nice ! well done again dude, sick playing

[@KevinDanneman]

Thanks buddy!

[@yunish19]

Your PRS looks so sweet. Can you pass me some details on that??

[@KevinDanneman]

+Yunish Gurung Yeah man, it's just a 2011 Custom 24 in smoked orange. Everything is stock; the pickups are HFS and Vintage Bass by PRS. I totally recommend buying one!

[@purplesky99876]

Thank you! How hard to you believe this song is to play?

[@KevinDanneman]

+kaisootrash It's up there man, but I totally recommend learning it! It's super fun.

[@purplesky99876]

Kevin Danneman You did great! (sorry about my english by the way) I am definitely going to try to learn now :O Thanks for responding!

[@Morrowman17]

Fantastic chops and tone make for great covers! If I have anything to criticize it would he the camera work. It was very distracting. It went in and out of focus and it just seemed Like he wanted to play around with the dolly. Two cameras eere used. He could have set the main one up for wide shot and the other for solo cam

[@jkman10]

Great cover. Whats with the random zooming in and out though?

[@KevinDanneman]

+jkman10 Thanks. Would you rather it be stagnant? It's to add depth and be less boring than a stationary camera.

[@jkman10]

Ah I get the idea. It just seemed odd going in and out. Maybe throw in some different angles? I saw I gopro to your left.

[@robertocarmona2833]

Hi Do You play in Drop D?

[@KevinDanneman]

roberto carmona Drop C.

[@DAVEomqqqq]

why is that song so fuckin fast :D

[@peterpunk2895]

check out my band The Omniscientist

[@dipankardey8949]

hey man pls why don't u make some periphery guitar lesson

[@KevinDanneman]

Maybe some day if I get the time!

[@LurchyScott]

Great Meshuggah cover...oh wait this sounds nothing like Meshuggah lol. Great cover bud lol. (that was just a stab at morons who think Periphery is a Meshuggah rip off band).

[@KevinDanneman]

Lurch Murphy haha! Thank you!

[@ignis.santander]

AMAZING ! badass playing man ! checkout my cover of omega ! cheers

[@Dimzidze]

хули так много лайков? Вы что не слышите что чувак вообще не попадает?

[@Fakantor]

Sir there's a wrong note at the beginning. The song and your playing doesn't match at that point

[@KevinDanneman]

Check your bandwidth.

[@Fakantor]

Kevin Danneman my bandwith is okay. just listen to 0:23

[@Fakantor]

Kevin Danneman either theres one note missing or you're just too fast

[@lethargicastengah572]

Fakantor Only a person with OCD would give a fuck about such a trivial detail.
