The Red Chord - Tread On the Necks of Kings play through by Mike McKenzie

A bit of a sloppy play through from my Twitch stream on 6/29. I do some streaming of music production, riff discussion, video games and more on my Twitch channel.

Criminally underrated band.

[@cameronyoung5874]

Every Red Chord album is in my top 20 of tall time, probably. Bummed I only got to see y’all once. Hope everybody is doing well.

[@StomachEarth]

Thank you!

[@Camel-joe6000]

Dude you were such an influence. Thank you

Это до сих пор один из лучших альбомов в метале вообще. Мега-риффинг, читаемый и бодрый вокал, ударка стелит так, что "мама дорогая"! В натуре гранёный бриллиант, Майк, спасибо. Жаль, что в 2009 что-то не заладилось. Я очень надеюсь, что ты найдёшь ещё вдохновение сделать что-то такое же яростное, неостановимое, плотное и целостное, как здесь в каждом треке по отдельности и в целом, в том смысле, что в вашем 2007 отсутствуют какие-то фальшивые куски или притянутые за уши мелодии или переходы "лишь бы лишь бы", - в музыкальном плане тут полотно, книга, кино-эпопея. Таких альбомов единицы. Это вспышки комет, которые до сих пор светят и еб@шат в тачке. Ещё раз спасибо и с наилучшими пожеланиями! Мужикам привет ;) It's still one of the best albums in metal in general. Mega-riffing, readable and cheerful vocals, percussion lays so that "dear mom"! A faceted diamond in kind, Mike, thank you. It's a pity that something went wrong in 2009. I really hope that you will still find inspiration to do something as fierce, unstoppable, dense and integral as here in each track individually and as a whole, in the sense that in your 2007 there are no fake pieces or far-fetched melodies or transitions "if only", - musically, there is a canvas, a book, a movie epic. There are only a few such albums. These are flashes of comets that are still shining and fck1ng in a wheelbarrow. Thanks again and best wishes! Hello to the men ;)

Your playing style and tonal choices influenced almost everything about my own personal style while playing with numerous bands in Boise, ID from 2003-2010. I still blast the 4 Red Chord albums like they just came out yesterday. Your riffs are timeless, man. Please get the gang back together and write some of that emotionally turbulent tastiness again. The metal world desperately needs your music. \m/

[@StomachEarth]

Thanks so much! That means a lot!

Bro, huge fan. What string gauge you using with the D tuning? im assuming with that "gibson scale" on that ESP that you go thicker to make it sound brighter? also what pick make/size? I feel the pick/ string gauge combo is so important. just wonder what you go for as you play so fast.

[@StomachEarth]

Thanks! I use 12-54 with a plain G. The thickness doesn't really affect the brightness but it does increase my string tension so the strings stay in place when I pick hard. I use the green Planet Waves picks - .88's
