Stuck in the 80's. I don't want to think about my age but I graduated high school in 85. Head banging big hair bands are still with me. The concerts I went to were all 80's and some 90's. Thanks Pete for showing us older guys great metal.

[@TimothyOHaver]

You should come up with a song that combines all those styles, that would be amazing!

I would love to hear a longer version of the stuck in the 80's song. I loved it!

that 80s riff was lit AF

[@edge4266]

I noticed that a couple of these seemed a little specific so heres what i figured: Down pick Everything: Hetfield The Cowboy: Dimebag The Squealler: Mark Morton/Willlie Adler The Chord Guy: Mark Holcomb The Whammy: Kerry King

[@christianmunch7160]

I'm definitely the Hammer and Alternate picking guy because downpicking only fast is way too exhausting 😂

[@zip.6666]

I'm missing a classic tremolo-picking addicted thrash guy in there, but the stuck in the 80's guy was great as well.

[@Emrys345_Guitar]

Such a great video! Chord guy, 80s, and cowboy were my favorites!

[@Penguinssss]

Gotta say... my favorite has got to be the squeal and the breakdown.... it just gets to me in all the right places.

The more strings a guitarist has the less progressive they are (most of the time at least)

Some of the best riffs came out of the 80's, from Eddie Van Halen, Glenn Tipton, Jake E Lee, Warren DeMartini, and so many more.

[@mrwoolf3911]

I'm probably stack in 80\90's ;)

[@Wythaneye]

Every single one of these was spot on! I guess if I had to pick one it'd be downpicking, it's more about the metal sound than showing off.

So you're saying Trivium's Anthem (We Are The Fire) is a tribute to the 80s. You're not wrong there - I reckon they had a lot of fun making that track, as I'm sure you did with this one 🎸
