[@RabeaMassaad]

Just to clarify, as it seems some people missed the joke, the guy playing piano was Andrew from Arcane Roots, as we thought fans would notice him walk past in the background! Sorry to those who missed that and thought we were being dicks hahahah

[@jillsandwich3113]

He was even playing Curtains :')

[@lieutenant-llama6950]

After becoming a fan after seeing this video. I noticed watching it again how much it sounded like an arcane roots song on the piano. Then saw Andrew walk by :P

[@oO-william.jr-Oo]

Awesome ! I have a crush with this band. In the vein of Dead Letter Circus, or Butterfly Effect. I didn't noticed Andrew playing piano, behind, the first time but then I recognized Curtains. The first song I heard from them. And the magic happend !

[@zeyadnabulsi4058]

I've had that song on repeat for the past few days. Noticed it right away and came down the comments. Top notch subtlety by them.

[@neckcheese1356]

I figured it was some kind of joke. You guys are always clowning around.

[@RabeaMassaad]

Hope you enjoyed this episode guys, if you like the idea of getting artists In to discuss their tone please comment and if you know of any good people for the show please let us know :)

[@drdoom8793]

Rabea Massaad Black Stone Cherry!

[@TimMcCausland]

Love the concept!

[@samrice1151]

You don't need to bring anyone into the shop you could do like a Skype chat style thing that way you may be able to get some bigger names to contribute?

[@samrice1151]

But it is much cooler to have them in the room tbf

[@Agent-nw3me]

SOUND LIKE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA SOUND LIKE DREAM THEATER SOUND LIKE MESHUGGAH SOUND LIKE FRANK ZAPPA PLEASEEE!!

[@francescociarrocchi1422]

Andrew looks like is such a genuine and kind dude. Even though I'm so happy for him now that he has his own project, I still miss arcane roots so much.

[@MHSlypher1]

He was playing curtains before it came out in the background thats awesome

[@RoryMcLeanMusic]

Great episode! Was nice to see Andrew join you for this one! :D I love Arcane Roots!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Rory McLean yeah man it was so much fun. Really great Tones as well

[@althejazzman]

I was music technician at Andrew's college, before he was famous! I saw him go through all those influences he mentioned. Great to see him so successful.

[@johnnymittens77]

I can only concur. Not heard of the band before, but definitely will check them out now. This really is my soap opera... The only thing I look forward to watching all week! ;)

[@mattwhornby]

In case it wasn't obvious who was playing piano, look again - we'd never react like that to a customer!! Thanks again to Andrew for coming in, great fun :-)

[@thatrustyolds1179]

do a sounds like shit by busting the bank

[@MessiahofFire]

THATRUSTYOLDS Line 6 spider iv, mesa cab clone, 3 boss metal zones, and any guitar with emgs.

[@LG-ic8ml]

THATRUSTYOLDS THIS. should be the christmas special

[@rickjames5106]

Unfortunately they'll never do it, this channel needs to sell gear, not mock inventory.

[@GIGeorge23]

preferably a guitar with too short of a scale for it's tuning/too many strings. All the gain. No mids.

[@milkshake2022]

so basically dimebag

[@willstaniar7908]

In my opinion this was one of the coolest episodes yet. That format it is awesome. Sounds like is the best, keep up the good work.

[@EstebanMlo]

Andrew G was playing curtains? 3:50 haha

[@Jacob-fx2ds]

Esteban Andres Melo Orbe just noticed that! Such a cool way to kind of tease it haha

[@EstebanMlo]

haha yeah! Andrew was really cool in this episode, a true artist.

[@owenbenoy1156]

3:56 The pianist is playing the chords to 'Curtains' which is Arcane Roots new single - released in December 5th 2016. This video was released more than a month before that. Was it Andrew Groves on the keyboard giving us a preview of the new single???? That's pretty cool for a cheeky teaser

[@malcolmboyd3467]

Owen Benoy It was him

[@thomascarmichael6659]

Would love to see a sounds like for Sleep/Electric Wizard. Some real awesome Stoner band!

[@stephenowen3383]

Kyuss or Fu Manchu would be good

[@zakwillis1601]

they did a sound like josh homme, but it was mostly qotsa, in the wrong tuning, and bad.

[@garrettallman3832]

Thomas Carmichael yes dude and weed eater you can't leave them out

[@jxmjolnir6322]

Yes sounds like Sleep. Sleep is my favorite band.

[@stephenowen3383]

Zak Willis exactly

[@mikeh3825]

That was such an awesome episode - arguably one of the best of the "Sounds Like" series to date! Great to see Andrew making a guest appearance and talking through the gear you guys chose as well as his musical journey to date - so insightful. MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!!!! :)

[@cullenjames7542]

First, I want to thank you guys for doing this because you introduced me to Arcane Roots and I'm now obsessed. So good. Second, I would like to ask if you could do a Sound Like Alex Skolnick (either early Testament or current Metal Allegiance).

[@cikame]

Having the guitarist on the show is a great idea, but maybe have them demonstrate the gear while talking about it to break up the solid blocks of conversation, usually you guys would work your way through building the sound, "this + this sounds like this" sort of thing, and let the artist tinker around to find the sound they like. Wonder what other guitarists you can get a hold of :P.

[@johnnylongplay4440]

I think it's time for Sound like Type O Negative 🤘🏻

[@lawsont4396]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

[@harveyharrison4387]

10000000%

[@jcg7719]

could be interesting, maybe even doing guitar and bass

[@vinnymusician]

I agree.

[@alphajames33]

Me likey.

[@andywithers]

Was funny watching Rabea so TOTALLY star struck :-) You've got a serious man crush there dude. On a serious note, thanks so much for introducing me to Arcane Fire. Had never listened to any of their stuff until I watch this video. Keep 'em coming!

[@samuelgutierrez3504]

Alice in Chains please!!!!!!!

[@NIKITKOKIS]

+

[@Messier31NGC224]

I agree, that's a great one. Amazing guitar tones from Cantrell and a FAT bass sound.

[@lukehildebrand2052]

Agreed, Alice in chains for the win 🎸

[@cupolove1]

great choice

[@djhensley87]

Absolutely!

[@willmorgan2482]

This is the best Sounds Like episode ever

[@boldandbrash5214]

Do a slide guitar player, i think it would be cool to also incorporate buying a slide into the budget, finding the exact slide for the payer's tone. I suggest doing Duane Allman, imo the greatest slide player of all time. Duane's tone could be hard to achieve as alot of it came from the hands, but i recommend either a fender or marshall amplifier, use a 59 style pickup les paul or an sg, and for the slide use a glass coriciden bottle style slide. He used real coriciden bottles, but dunlop makes some that do the job, the derek trucks signature is basically exactly what you would need.

[@PoppaFoz]

Best one you've done so far. Had the pleasure of playing with Arcane Roots a few weeks ago in Sheffield and was blown away by Andrew's style and tone

[@ollieedd86]

i just noticed Andrew was playing the chords to Curtains!

[@13thorderbass]

This is by far the best one so far. I found them around a year and a half ago and became a massive band that not many people know of. The fact that you did it and he's there playing some riffs and hanging out is incredible. Congratulations.

[@valgaer]

One of the bands I miss the most :(

[@jeffkovacs6521]

Have to say I love this format... it is great getting a real insight into the artist's thought process and evolution of sound (though I wonder if bigger name / less open artists would be so interesting / enjoyable). I think this is a great idea and i look forward to seeing who you get next.

[@AndyBassist]

Any chance of maybe Black Peaks? of maybe bringing dave in to do some bass sounds like?

[@screambluemurder101]

Andy Bassist whooooooooooooooooo?!?!!!!

[@AndyBassist]

Black Peaks sick band!

[@XAVR_]

First step is to grow a big walrus moustache

[@barneyleggett]

Love the new format! Love Arcane Roots, best band I've ever seen live

[@joaoreis5050]

Dude... Dead Meadow!! Trust me. Great tones, great band, pleeeeaaaaazzzzz do it :D

[@mattonn9947]

Hi guys. I love your show and had run out of your sounds like episodes of bands I know (most of your shows I had listened to more than once!), so I clicked on this episode. I was not disappointed. Like your guest, I am an avid follower of your show and, in particular, Rabea is a huge influence on my playing and you have both been inspirational over the last year or so since I have known about you. Much love x

[@DGGriffinMusic]

I would love to see some decade inspired 'Sound Like' videos. "Sound like the 80s" etc.

[@JgpunxMUFC95]

YES! What a great video! One of my favourite bands too, cheers guys!

[@ThatGamerGuy77]

SOUND LIKE THE EAGLES AND SKID ROW!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Les paul for Don Felder and a Telecaster for Joe Walsh

[@louisgerber65]

It's amazing, that you always get such interesting guests on Andertons TV. You learn a lot about their thoughts on their own style. That's a lot more than just recommending some gear. Anyway, great show as always.

[@Silverwidows]

4.16 what is that dude doing...hes creeping me out

[@OzPwl]

It's me... I'm not joking...

[@Silverwidows]

Oz Powell thanks for creeping me out lol

[@OzPwl]

i made it my mission if i was ever in one of these videos

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

hahahaha thats great

[@mandarin7728]

Love that guy standing there in the back at 4:20

[@Brentqvaleenjoyer]

Alice in chains. I'm gonna say it everytime.

[@Brentqvaleenjoyer]

or Gojira

[@NIKITKOKIS]

+

[@Agent-nw3me]

SOUND LIKE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA SOUND LIKE DREAM THEATER SOUND LIKE MESHUGGAH SOUND LIKE FRANK ZAPPA PLEASEEE!!

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

Im gonna comment alice in chains as well, id really enjoy that. in my opinion, they have nailed most of the "sound like" videos so im sure they'll nail it anyways.

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

ill join you in suggesting them everytime too. haha

[@sladerenegade7300]

Whicked video! I absolutely love this idea of artists joining the sounds like, it's the ultimate test to the rig.

[@21stCENTURYBOY12]

Anyone notice the guy they were telling off at 4:13 looked like Andrew groves ... Coincidence? I think not..

[@mattwhornby]

daniel cullen ;-)

[@fennytyrell]

I saw this upload and immediately checked them out before watching this...and I'm so glad I did! They're fantastic, and thank you for this video guys

[@BKF0]

-Tom Scholz -Buckethead -Periphery -Megadeth -Slayer -Vernon Reid -Alex Lifeson

[@Mark-qm6db]

Been waiting all day to watch some Andertons! You're all awesome, love you guys!

[@wollyyllow]

Make one How to Sounds Like Rise Against ( not rage against the machine )

[@2013musicman]

Wollace Menjao they already did Tom Morello which knocked out both them and Audioslave.

[@wollyyllow]

Yeah but is Rise Against is very differend band compared to Rage Against the Machine, the RAGE Against the Machine uses Telecaster but the RISE Against uses Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom with Marshall JCM 900 heads. I think you don't knows this band i suggest you listen the Savior. Is RISE Against no RAGE Against the Machine.

[@2013musicman]

Wollace Menjao I know the difference. Rise Against is mainly in Eb standard while RATM is in drop D. If you want to go with vocalists, RATM uses a style of rap while Rise Against has singing that is similar to Nirvana.

[@jasont.9559]

Wow, this is the coolest one you guys have done to date. I'm not familiar with this band, but I'm fascinated by hearing about the process and genesis of making music. This was super cool, thanks guys!

[@TheTechAndScience]

You guys need to do the different stages of Eric Clapton (Bluesbreakers, Cream, and solo/assorted groups)

[@ellleigh1216]

Really cool episode and a great idea bringing forward some bands that others may not have heard of! I love Arcane Roots, they never disappoint live and always bring so much energy!

[@tomastoledo5428]

it would be kind of cool a sound like Death From Above 1979...

[@ry400xp]

Absolutely loved it!!!!! I never heard of Arcane Roots and I cannot get enough of that band, they are amazing!! Thank You!

[@TheSituationBoy1]

Sounds like cliff burton please!!!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

they should do more bass edition sound likes, cos royal blood was a bass edition

[@BerriesAllen]

Killer episode!! Rather enjoyed that one a lot!! If you can do any others like this, I would certainly tune in as I always do!! Never heard of this band, but I'll be checking them out!! Thanks!!

[@RCAvhstape]

Sound like Alex Lifeson. And get him to show up as a guest!

[@nabilsaez3250]

Awesome! Thanks you for introducing the band! An nice change in the format! Thanks again

[@dmolivier95]

Sound like Omar Rodriguez Lopez Sound like Johnny Marr Sound like The Killers Sound like Troy Van Leeuwen Sound like Brian May Sound like Edge Sound like Gary Clarke Jr. Sound like Radiohead Sound like Soundgarden Sound like Pearl Jam Sound like Alice In Chains Sound like Aerosmith Sound like Smashing Pumpkins Sound like Prince

[@SimonChampagne]

Discovered that band last year. So amazing. Can't get enough.

[@tommeakin1732]

Sound like...Devin Townsend Project...? Yeah...good idea me.

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Absolutely awesome video all round. Arcane Roots are by far the most interesting new band I've come across in a long time.

[@ZorroTheWevile]

Please do KoRn I will love you forever

[@grantbowers2319]

Brendan Mather yeah but they were the first to bring them to the mainstream

[@ZorroTheWevile]

+Grant Bowers what about Steve vai?

[@grantbowers2319]

PokeMinority he pioneered it but I don't feel like he brought it into the mainstream. the way korn used it is being copied way more than the way Steve vai used it

[@bryanabrahamse9933]

loved the video guys !!! more like this please !!!! also loving seeing your influences in the video in person !!!

[@MaxCarroll93]

I would love to see Sound Like Opeth..

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I had never heard of Arcane Roots and I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest 30 minutes watching this video, but it ended up being my favorite "Sound Like" edition. Having the actual artist drop by and talk about his sound was awesome. I hope you guys can do more of this.

[@kacper06660y]

Do Johnny Marr of the Smiths! Please!

[@muggo131]

Kinda shits me how no one really gives feedback and just asks for their favourite artist. I reckon this was really cool and would be keen to see more like this.

[@joeysephy]

Gojira next? Love the series.

[@jamesebrown7672]

great job guys. I hadn't heard much arcane roots before this but will deffo check out more of their stuff now.

[@BrownElectrons]

Sounds like The Melvins please! Great vid as always though

[@Brentqvaleenjoyer]

John smith that'd be killer, but so so hard.

[@GuyDeclerck]

Yes! Waited for this! Such an amazing band, thank you for this video!

[@TheBrawler620]

Sound like Black Stone Cherry plsssssss

[@TJAS92]

Brawler 620 100000%

[@overnightgrowth]

Nice one. Would love that one.

[@cupolove1]

great idea too!

[@miserablecherry7651]

Thanks to you two, they are now one of my favorite bands. Thank you for bringing them to my ears!

[@zacharywalsh6481]

sound like dream theater or electric wizard

[@KeeperOfPoops]

John had a signature Ibanez that was the Ibanez JPM but he now used Musicman, you can either go classic John Petrucci and get an ibanez RG of some sort or Modern John Petrucci and get a Sterling Musicman JP, he uses Mesa Boogie amplifiers so if you can't afford both the guitar and a Mesa amp then a marshall DSL40 should work, and i know John uses the od Wah pedal sometimes so a standard Dunlop Cry baby will work

[@simongodfrey629]

Another incredible episode and how cool was it to get the man himself to be a part of the episode. Spot on chaps.

[@stuartsnelling5157]

Sounds like Reuben, get Jamie in for a chat 🤘😛🤘

[@Beardsandguitars_uk]

Great stuff! These guys are sick live, it was strange watching him carry his own rig offstage in Sheffield a while back respect!

[@alonshoval224]

Sound like Ghost please...!

[@kevenperez4245]

This opened my mind in a way I can't even describe, Now I know another cool band to listen to :D, thanks guys!

[@axelnyberg4501]

Metallica by busting the bank

[@CammojoDragon97]

already done my man

[@Amarbold8875]

CammojoDragon97 not BY busting the bank

[@Messier31NGC224]

Omg yes!! That would be killer!!!

[@dzemohendrix]

But none of that Mesa shit. Plexi era. Period.

[@CammojoDragon97]

Amarbold Batzorig aaaah I misread, my mistake

[@MrMightymind]

Excellent work guys - Saw Arcane Roots support 5 Finger Death Punch last year.. to be honest, I'd never heard of them before. I was MEGA impressed being an old progster! Between them and Skindred they saved the night as 5FDP were not on form. So thanks to the boys for doing this. Loved the tweak on the format, and if it gives some UK bands some much needed exposure to boot, it's WIN WIN for me!

[@社会のカス]

Can you do Eric Johnson or Joe Bonamassa

[@JUNK_ZONE]

Love this new format! I learned of an amazing band today! Thanks.

[@Paelolithic]

ZZ Top needs a 'sounds like', seriously how can we be getting into niche bands while ignoring billy gibbons?

[@mr.goldfinch684]

Well done guys! Never heard of band and they sound sick! So more of these and also try to invite more artists. It was great

[@fcirl]

DO TAME IMPALA GOD DAMN IT

[@thefunnyguy944]

loved the sneaky little play of Curtains piano section, nice wee tease for the new songs

[@harveyharrison4387]

Smashing pumpkins..or Type o Negative PLEASE

[@thebenjyman253]

Oh shit that's awesome! Great episode guys, first saw Arcane Roots at Reading this year, it's great seeing them getting some love.

[@RatedDesigns]

Sounds Like John Petrucci

[@Rustyjamesman]

Love the idea of the artists coming to talk about their tone!!

[@Erisblackstone]

Matt, Beer. please. the Smiths. Britain's most iconic 80's band. please I'm begging you. HOW DO I SOUND LIKE JOHNNY MARR

[@abovethedownside2521]

Beer?

[@jamiequinn5553]

I would love to see a Sound Like bass series with Nathan. I've been loving the All About the Bass series.

[@gagefraw3182]

You guys need to re do Frusciante

[@stevebebbington6867]

First time watching any of your videos and it's brilliant! Will definitely be watching more

[@666Mrthedevilful]

please do a sound like on Lamb of God!

[@zMPHz]

It's cool to hear players talk about their gear more in depth. Unlike on most rig rundown videos where they just show their rig and don't even explain why they have something in their signal chain.

[@that1hors315]

Please sounds like Avenged Sevenfold

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

That1Hors3 010101010101010 I feel like they are losing a lot of viewers that prefer a little harder music because they won't freaking do SEVENFOLD! I want it so bad and I'm so sad every week when it doesn't get posted...

[@carltonhanks6679]

im a big fan of avenged but tbh their tones have always been kinda shit

[@ehdforlife]

Great job! You guys did awesome and the guest was great. Obviously I'd like to have heard the guitar you picked with the rig but other than that... great!

[@Dan-Bass]

Alice in Chains!!!

[@Dan-Bass]

+ Soundgarden & Chevelle & Pearl Jam

[@madgeniusmusic]

Nice. It's nice to hear the thinking behind the rig as well as how it sounds.

[@lucpomfret3364]

SOUNDS LIKE ALICE IN CHAINS

[@CoolspyGaming]

4:15 *LEGEND*

[@b00neDawg00]

SOUND LIKE WEEZER

[@theblackparade44]

Would love to see a sounds like Architects episode.

[@InFlames3794]

Sounds like Killswitch Engage! Both Guitars

[@InFlames3794]

Or Tom Petty

[@eoon]

Excellent episode guys, really enjoyed it! Arcane Roots sounds like an awesome band, I need to give them a go. Didn't know Bea was so good with the bass :)
