POV: You pick up your guitar but it's 2005

[@JohnOsola12]

This gave me some serious nostalgia of sitting in my bedroom as a teenager glued to Ultimate Guitar Tabs learning all of these. Thank you man.

[@Georgiyantyufeyev]

Glued to ultimate guitar tabs 😁 worded perfectly

[@JacobMartin]

You just summed up my teenage years hahaha. Thanks for watching man

[@wardkdouglas]

Back then I was in 10th grade, id use my last class of the day (study hall) to go to the school library and print pages and pages of tabs from Ultimate Guitar, then go home to spend the rest of the day and night learning them all. Good memories indeed.

Nah the peak was back in 2008 with Shogun

[@liammcknight3845]

@@typicalfurry2747 I used to think that and they were 100% on fire there. But I have rewatched some old shows from that era and while the raw energy is higher, Matt's voice was definintely way worse and you could hear him loising it towards the end of shows. They also were sloppier live back then. Nothing bad at all but definitely more mistakes, tempo issues etc. ITCOTD is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish and Trivium now put on such a clean and fantastic live show. They are definitely peaking now.

They seriously need to remaster that album

[@francescovianello262]

@@gregorsvet nah it’s perfect as it is and it sounds amazing

[@rubemevangelista3868]

I don't think they need to remaster it, but I would definitely welcome another version like ABR did with Leveler, tuning it a bit down and using better production to sound heavier, I think even Seize The Day with a lower tuning would sound great. The album the way it is is already one of my favorite albums of all time, I'm just the guy the love experimenting, and y'know I love Matt's vocals in it, but his voice is definitely more mature now, at least that would be an improvement for sure. And I would love to see how Brooks would implement his style in those songs

And if this were uploaded in 2008 as a riff compilation, both the video and audio would have been recorded on a Flip camera in *stunning* 720p, edited in WMM. Videos like this are so wholesome. It's nice to see that we've all grown up since the good ol days, and it's always nice to be reminded that we're all still out there doing our thing. It's like a high school reunion. Except way cooler. Good shit.

Jacob, I kid you not you are one of the best guitar players on KZbin, metal wise for sure. Your technique is like a mixture of John Browne and Jason Richardson. Great attack, every note is clear, great Pettrucci-like vibratos, no buzz and noise between transitions, unlike 90% of your average guitar players. Hope to see more covers and originals from you!
