[@funeralbitchx]

Great! Corey is super gorgeous, thank you for that permanent close-up haha ♥ And Julie, you're a very beautiful lady yourself. And I liked your questions, very nice interview! :D

[@UNt0uChAble743]

My first concert was Megadeth too!

[@TheMediocreJack]

This interview gives me new hope for the rest of the album!

[@MrAVRo0]

Great interview \m/^^ COREY!

[@TerroristBob19]

yeah thinking of you saying that, it reminded me, remember when matt heafy was calling "in waves" the V album, i was like "PERFECT!" because trivium has a V in the middle, and i was expecting Tri V ium *a large V* in the middle of the name, witch would of been really cool

[@sanojodraude4013]

sepultura do brasil

[@Jrocka7x]

Along the lines of Emmure, even though they played on Veil of Maya radio. :p I think I know what he means, but some people just like to party, and fool around. The groove is where they get their fix from. Some people just need deeper creativity to connect with.

[@michaeltreas465]

lol he is talking about that shit "post-hardcore" crap.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

"More riffs and more meat to it" Anything is more than In waves XD

[@macaframa12]

It's your Internet.

[@zombiegreencard]

lol what bands do you guys think he didn't wanna mention ?

[@superiorheadbanger]

WOW the buffering on KZbin SUCKS!

[@deadlydare]

Jaundice?

[@Cr4nium13]

Completely agree with him on the Metal 'scene' nowadays, no real riffs and all these kids just playing open notes boring shit.

[@randommetalhead7]

open metal

[@YouTubricant]

If Corey had short hair, he would totally look like Jack Black.

[@SpawntheFuries]

The thing though with Djent is that it actually requires knowledge of music and technical ability. Djent is getting popular, but I doubt that's what he's talking about that's pissing them off because djent musicians know how to use their guitars. Serious djent musicians, at least. Its all the endless breakdown-core bands these days that try and pull that bullshit.

[@JohanDG7]

" Melodic Metalcore" What part of Trivium has ANYTHING to do with metalcore xD! They are pure metal, heavy metal

[@huttrammer]

Hahaha, here's another chance...? triVIum

[@YouTubricant]

I doubt it. 1) Good djent can have some of the sickest riffs you'll ever hear, and 2) I would think he's talking about ultra-boring, ultra-gay bad modern metalcore...ya know...the kind that relies way too much on breakdowns and the sixth-seventh-root chord pattern...gawd I hate it.

[@MXmulisha199]

How can one say DJENT is good? It's honestly dragging the metal scene down even further than it's ever been. Binary code guitar riffs played on drop tuned 9 strings? No thanks. The very fundamentals of playing the guitar are being overlooked and ignored by kids nowadays, just so they can fit in with the rest of the scene. Why opt for an extended range guitar when you can't even play a 6 string properly? If you're a DJENT or core music fan, maybe just consider playing bass. There's nothing heavy about drop Q tuning or whatever the norm is these days.

[@5urg3x]

2StrokeHeretic Some djent is good, like Periphery...others, not so much. I don't know if you would classify Animals As Leaders as djent, but they're certainly very very good. I have been playing a 7 almost exclusively, but not really, for about 5-6 years now...I love it. I have never tried an 8 or a 9 though.

[@thepredator666qc4]

well you put the finger right on it right there my friend

[@davidcoffman321]

hahaha hes obviously talking about that "hardcore" emo shit when he talks about how modern metal music angered them. like suicide silence, asking alexandria, bring me the horizon. hell ya that stuff sucks!!!!
