I'm an Uber driver. When it's a longer ride, I'll often ask the passenger if they want some music. If they answer yes, I'll ask what kind of music do they prefer. Most of the time the answer is they like different types of music. I'll put this song on and 9 out of 10 times, after 30 seconds, they're asking who this is and putting on their playlist on their phone.

[@benitocousens6074]

theres a little video tim henson uploaded of him writing two parts on piano, one chording and one melody, then playing both parts together on guitar. The piano bit sounds pretty simple and very good, but when he transferred to whole lot to the guitar it turns into the kind of thing we hear here. From there I think they just start embelleshing and taking liberties with the riff until its all wacky and all over the place. Amazing.

I love how they often finish each other's rhythmic statements. Listen to 3:06 - 3:09 The guitar starts the phrase and drums almost finishes the phrase until the guitar comes back in.

@@GizzyDillespee You're just hearing the electronics effects he's putting on his kit. Usually people would sample to do that, but he's gone the extra mile to FX his kit out to make those sounds "live". Which is honestly more impressive. He's just doing what normally guitarists are doing with pedals and stuff.

Without vocals, gotta do something for 3 plus minutes. Not really "solos". ill admit, I'm almost 40 and I just didn't get this band at first. I'm comfortable enough to say that the younger generations are annihilating the boxes that even the most creative have constructed for ourselves back in the day. I used to say it has no hard or feeling or that it's 10 lb of s*** in the bag but really I could never think of doing it the way they do it. Lastly, I see a lot of people covering their licks or riffs and for a second it kind of has me thinking that what did you even so unique. But they created it. It's mind blowing and like I said I'm comfortable enough to say that they're doing things we just couldn't conceive when I was a kid.

[@derekspringer6448]

I completely disagree with you. It seems pretty obvious to me, they gave that absolute animal sitting behind the kit in this video, WAY more of a spotlight than the rest. Am I the only one seeing this? I mean, if you go back and take a look... That glorious, sexy, machine of a drummer is in the spotlight for about 3 mins and 35 seconds. And the rest of them? Well, after watching it again I'm wondering if there are even any other band members... Seriously, I'm only seeing a drummer guys. Well, the video must have been shot inside of someone's pants... Since, I can only see the drummer, it's obviously taking place where he's at. It's pretty, again obvious to those of us with ears, that he's in the pocket. For the entire video. Something that deserves an award... and hell, also a REward, in and of itself, considering what exactly he's having to drum to. Someone give this man some ice cream, a noble piece prize.. for being the most noble *piece* of kit that any guitar player could hope to have in their arsenal. Dude is absolutely bonkers... I don't even play drums, I play guitar... Yet I know exactly where my eyes are every time I come to cum watching this video.

big chungus lol that’s not even what he said you moron. It was a joke because G.O.A.T. Stands for greatest of all time. And there is no such thing as being the best at music. It’s not a competition, there is no goal to pursue. You can compare individual aspects like technical ability or musical knowledge but even then that says nothing about the music itself. You’ll never be finished learning. And if you think you are the best, then you won’t be for very long. That’s why people like yngwie malmsteen suck nowadays.
