This dude is a really good guitar player from the time of the typical, simple nu metal stuff. I really dig the way he plays.

[@mikeydemus3435]

Thank you!!

[@veteran_of_pain]

I got to see Skindred live in Moncton, New Brunswick Canada when they opened for Disturbed. Will never forget it

[@m4ssee]

Fucking crazy. I was listening to some Skindred for the first time in like 15 years and now this video happens.

[@jimmyburns5247]

As if Mikey name dropped Helmet!! One of my favourite alt-rock bands, loving my newfound appreciation for these riffs now that I've started playing myself. Pretty sure the amount of Skindred gigs I've attended is approaching double digits now haha

[@KiLLM4CE]

heart shaped box and all apologies sound so dark in drop B, i love it!!

[@moriopl6176]

Love the fact that he mansioned stuff from Big Things for last cuz that means he like past albums more. I can't wait to hear real powerful Skindred rifs.

[@kathyhamilton8555]

Awesome to watch ty

[@stevecaron6609]

Yet another time that after watching your 'Plays favorite riffs' that I go straight to that band's Spotify list and play the top 5 most played tracks. Kudos to Skindred, one of the best metal/skaa bands out there.

[@ashleyevans424]

Sappenin butt!

[@dinosawrmems8339]

does anyone know where the riff that plays in the gear factor intro comes from? sounds badass

[@gabejbn]

Nooiicccee

[@jalrebass]

Can't help but wonder if his name is based off of The Secret of Nimh.

[@pounderpolizzo7269]

Anybody *ONLY* know skindred from nfs:u2's Nobody

[@JoseFPepeM]

What guitar brand is that? Love that lefty tele

[@427viper]

It’s build by Manson. That’s a English custom builder.

[@vegacolony]

Manson did a run of Mikey Demus signature guitars. You could get them in the orange or black. Left or right handed

[@Alfredo78666]

Shoutout to all the leftyz in da houz!

[@mikeydemus3435]

woop woop!

[@kaikiske7436]

Awesome, inspired by Chuck Berry!

[@lifted0422]

NirvAna no apology I think

[@DiseasedMrT]

@@lifted0422 All Apologies, but yeah by Nirvana

[@grahamtaylor8912]

Mikey is an ace guitarist. He reminds me of Mick Ronson, never plays a note unless it fits the song...

[@deff_bepis]

Reasons for there not being an Ola Englund one of these:

[@AnemicLeechC00M4L07]

It would basically be a Pantera compilation.

[@deff_bepis]

@@AnemicLeechC00M4L07 and that’s absolutely fine

[@Hell_Inc]

he’s a youtuber. this band has been around for ages. show respect

[@deff_bepis]

@@Hell_Inc and yet other youtubers got episodes before Mikey, don’t tell people who to respect big man.

[@callistoarmy5576]

I sing songs ❤️so try to check them 👍🏻..

[@enriquepastor3626]

Kurt cobain one of the shittiest guitarists yet one of the more influentials, beautiful

[@perpetualbystander4516]

But foremost it's not how good you are technically, or how much theory you know. If you can't come up with good memorable riffs, licks and chord progressions, you're not going to be considered a great musician. Not necessarily a crappy one, but you won't be up there with the great ones, that's for sure.

[@enriquepastor3626]

@@perpetualbystander4516 I say shitty because it's popular musician opinion that he's ''not good'', for me is one of the bests because of the feelings
