Santa Cruz - "We Are the Ones to Fall" at Guitar World Studios

Santa Cruz stopped by the Guitar World studios to shred through their song "We Are the Ones to Fall" and generally cause mayhem and destruction!

[@Chrismagdich]

They have my vote for one of the best modern day guitar duo. These guys kill and they're restoring faith in rock n roll. Thank you Santa Cruz.

RIP

[@monke12355]

I didn't have a chanche to see them before they broke up :(

[@lockandloadlikehell]

Fatith in faking it you mean 2:35

[@jeffwilliams3224]

Agreed. Metal forgets its roots in rock sometimes...that's why it's called metal lol, straight up gotta mine rock to find metal

[@ec-uploads]

@@lockandloadlikehell There are TWO guitarists jackass

[@dubyaelle5533]

When i die, i hope we can replay the parts of our lives we want to relive. For my list, going back to see them play live in NYC for the first time would be in my top ten. I never went from a band being unknown to me to being a lifetime favorite band so quickly. Still listening in 2024.

[@AirsoftSniper0915]

Chorus at 5:30 /w delay is so killer. Inspired me with my own licks. Keep killin it Santa Cruz. Johnny you’re an inspiration

[@5PLA5H]

these guys definitely deserve to play at Guitar World's studio, like them alot!

[@liselorebrosens5778]

I can watch this over and over. I love this so much. Both great guitarists.

[@AllanGildea]

That was astounding! Great showmanship!

[@greekfreak1980]

Guitarworld,you should have called up Satchel and let him do a video with these guys here,that would be something.

[@Austin6611]

***** That'd be a killer mashup.

[@ayeapprove]

***** They should be touring together.

[@rolanddmello]

I agree!!

[@scheissensprecher7041]

Ugh I loved this Santa Cruz 💔

[@lomendoza77]

They're pretty awesome! I got their self titled a few weeks back and I wasn't disappointed! I like these dudes. Wasted 'n Wounded and Can You Feel the Rain are my faves along with We Are the Ones to Fall. And yeah...Archie had a few visitors hanging out with him. LOL!

It's not relic'd. Its from the seventies. I know since i have played that same guitar myself. Like literally that same guitar.

Rob McMorran He sounded better with the Duncans (?) he used earlier IMO. (See 'Shred till you drop' or 'Aiming high.')

[@aldoorozco7978]

they are amazing!! you need to make a video with satchel also!

That's the coolest Delay thingy I've ever heard!

[@stanhalen9807]

I just love the riff Johnny plays starting at 00:48. In my opinion that riff really gets lost in the mix on the album version and that is a shame.

[@AceHikes]

Both are unbelievable guitarist...for me Jonnys guitar playing just blows me away, the riff he plays in this song is fucking ace...he picks it effortlessly..

[@Walkerbjj]

Agreed. I’m trying hard to find out what those guitar pickups are. They look like double hotrails. Kent Armstrong makes a set that looks like them but I’d love to know exactly what Johnny is using here

[@ashmayenmusic]

@@Walkerbjj I could be wrong but I'm guessing they're Bare Knuckle Blackhawk humbuckers based off of looks and the style he plays both matching up fairly well with them

[@Walkerbjj]

@@ashmayenmusic yes they are. I found out soon after my comment and bought some for my Les Paul. They sound awesome

[@yabooaion]

5:30 this riff is fucking awesome

[@23.Capricorn.23]

The song title and first riff had me thinking it was a re-imagining of Children of Bodom's ''We're not Gonna Fall'' - go on, listen to it, if you haven't already. These guy have unreal skills.

I hope I can play one day as they do... They are a fucking GODS OF GUITAR

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARCHIE

[@OpnDoarPlcy]

4:25 a couple of Pinches here and there. Lol. An ex girlfriend that I'm still in love with (I know, lame) went to UC Santa Cruz and took me there on a tour of places she used to live, go see, and so forth. The music for the chorus takes me back to that place in my mind when we loved each other. I miss her so much. So yeah, we are the ones to fall, but in my case it was to fall in love.

What guitar is that black one? It has the 'black beauty custom' head stock (with inlany & binding) but that's not a black beauty. Maybe a custom shop?
