Parkway Drive is, honestly, my favorite metalcore band.

[@officernasty2648]

I burned out on killswitch before these guys showed up. But, maybe later on I'll be just the right amount of blazed to feel them.

[@squatplugenthusiast3667]

Satan's Kitty any dude who wears a Pantera shirt is alright in my book.

[@charlesfitchiii7279]

Any day of the week, PWD is always slotted in my playlist

[@LeCretin]

Parkway Drive was killer when I saw them with August Burns Red, TDWP, and Polaris.

[@ZeldaxLegacy]

I've got them and As I Lay Dying right at the top. They lay out some great, memorable riffs.

[@knockout3630]

This band is really underrated for their guitar work i feel nobody talks about their amazing guitar riffs

[@nishanth6403]

Legit, Horizons is one the greatest metal albums of all time NOT JUST METALCORE

[@knockout3630]

@@nishanth6403 horizon deep blue and atlas are killer albums

[@selfsupremacy7816]

Horizons, one of the best metalcore songs ever written. Very nice playing (please guys. no more thumbs up ;)

[@MattJFilms]

Hard to have a favorite from PWD but that song definitely does it for me. The breakdown and last couple minutes of the song are on another level!

[@selfsupremacy7816]

@@MattJFilms Yeah man i like the lyrics, the fast riffing and the tapping part in the end, very epic

[@henriqueferreira2155]

Same xD

[@JMPK23]

Karma is what drew me into parkway drive. Absolutely love everything about that song Deep Blue is a perfect album

[@84DGH057]

Your tone is insane! Every chug feels like I’m getting smacked with a fish...or a bloody shark!

[@rickgal9003]

That made me laugh yet so true

[@Brandon_Renegade]

Lmao , true af 😂

[@tehalexy]

the secret is, that he just uses the original audio with acting like as if he plays it :D

[@unluckyxviiaudio]

AND the TSE X50 plugin! I mix Jamie’s audio and use that plugin for 90% of his tones, perfect for big fat chugs 👌

[@84DGH057]

Unlucky XVII well you nail it dude good on you!

"Idols And Anchors" always gets me pumped

My favorite Metal band

[@funkydonkey11051989]

Surf Metal :D

[@matdemaz]

These guys are from near me. Great band and sound. Killing with a Smile is an iconic metalcore record. Now I wanna go learn these songs on Rocksmith.

[@JamieSlays]

KWAS is my favourite album

[@dracofyrwing4385]

They aren't on rocksmith last I checked :(

[@elilachappa3330]

Ultimateguitar.com has a lot of tabs for pwd songs. That's how I've been learning to play their stuff

[@DeeRok35]

go to custom forge . com its basically a rocksmith reddit where people tab out the songs wiht the rocksmith software and you can download them for free. It is how i learned to play Carrion

Love parkway drive one of best shows I ever seen them playing with August burns red

[@dantearroyo3050]

James Snowden saw the first show of the tour in San diesel

[@overkillz312941]

Saw that show in san diego. They all put on a sick ass show

[@SneakyJared]

Caught the Cleveland show back in September and it was a sick show. Almost a dream tour for me to have ABR and Parkway together.

[@kdog5995]

I saw that show in PA. It kicked ass. They are going on tour with Killswitch and I’m stoked!

[@cardwell0318]

Hands fucking down the best concert I've ever been to. First time I saw them last year first song was wild eyes and it was fucking insane energy after that.

[@shanetrain90]

I'm never was a big fan of Drop B tuning for some reason, but Parkway knows how to utilize it melodically and chuggy and it just smacks you right in the face!!! Love your tone and your playing bro!!! Keep it up!! \m/

[@Th3M4nuc9]

There is no better melodic riffs than parkway drive riffs

[@REEEEEEEEEEEE0]

As I Lay Dying. But I'd say they're equal lol

[@Th3M4nuc9]

@@REEEEEEEEEEEE0 yeaaah why not

[@pginarmy8620]

August Burns Red

[@christophermiller5433]

AILD and Children of Bodom have better melodies by far! PWD is definitely top notch

[@franciscocruz528]

I agree with the Bodom remark, you should look into melodic death metal

[@pol.paukrley]

Stunning! Parkway Drive has so pleasant riffs like no other metalcore band.

[@3rdAgeSoap]

Also, love how you played like half of Smoke 'Em lmao. Didn't want that section to stop.

[@danielsmith4701]

Oh my god dude you literally shredded all of it spot on. Parkway Drive is my favorite band of all time and damn dude hats off to you sir

[@sebitours1221]

Daniel Smith I’m with you brother, some call Parkway Drive their favorite metalcore band but nah they ring deep to my own core as my favorite, they even surpass my childhood favorites at this point

[@3rdAgeSoap]

Smoke Em was the first song I heard by them, and it was the original as well. I learned that fucker so fast. It's so fun to play! Glad to see you play it

[@ahgodamit]

I actually grew up on a road called Parkway Drive, so this band always makes me think of home.

[@kurtbaechlerjr2500]

One of my favorite things about this channel is that it introduces me to so many awesome bands I might not learn of otherwise. Keep up the good work Jamie!

[@keithonsimon9683]

Think I found an inspiration to learn some of these riffs. Thanks Jamie

[@buick455muscle]

That feeling you get when Boneyards starts up, gets me pumped every time!

[@guitarballup1]

I'm always impressed with your tone and articulations of how you play each note.

Been waiting for a parkway vid for so long! Long time favorite band!

Man!! You literally make me fall in love with Parkway Drive with those riffs

[@iGingerYT]

I absolutely love Parkway Drive. This video is awesome!!

[@MickDavies]

Excellent job! Would of liked to see Crushed in there too as it's heavy but simple. The worst spiders are red backs, they'll fuck you up so hard and are basically everywhere here... Really small too so they turn up all the time! Damn I love being Aussie!

[@johnangelle5975]

Such a good mix from across all their work

[@mikethomasulo4827]

Awesome work, PWD is my all time favorite band and to hear someone else play them and kill it is awesome.

*Sees PWD in title *Never clicked on a video faster. Also Sleepwalker is my fav PWD song. cool effect!

[@rickgal9003]

Yeah i clicked asap

[@nickmarcotte4061]

Same!!!

Sleepwalker might just be their simplest riff (that and deliver me) and yet it hits so much harder than most bands can even dream of

you really do these riffs justice brother!! keep it up!! Parkway Drive for life

Jeff ling is probably my favorite guitar player

[@chovue2363]

Every member brings in a unique sound that only exist in parkway drive! Vocals are sick, leads are sick, rhythms are sick, bass is sick and drums are insane!

[@raimondibro]

Thats why i got an ESP as my first real guitar and been playing it ever since.

[@The_G_in_Jesus]

parkway has always been one of my fav bands regarding any kind of metal. their horizons album defined a big era and influence for me and my playing. they play with so much feel and synergy, even them keeping is basic with their muted open 0s can still sound so personal to them. it gives me a lot of inspiration for not overthinking what i do, but for making a nice outline for all the parts of a song to work together. i'm a big fan of very technical things too, yet i find comparing other talented individuals (jason becker, dimebag, matt heafy, tosin abasi, the list goes on) to them to be pointless when it's this personal. a group of friends playing in a basement with enough love for what they're doing is all it takes.

[@kylescouten8515]

I love that they play mostly all their songs in one tuning. They put on such a good show too!

[@Gman9091]

I've seen three times now and every time they come out full of energy and on point. If you haven't gone to their show just do it and thank me later. Also great dam video! Now I gotta play their albums at work
