Buster is the best mixer in heavy metal today.

Hey dean it would be really cool if you started a podcast or something like that for musicians in extreme metal, this stream was pretty neat

5:28 Buster: "I'm big fan of you guys" Dean: "Duh 🤪."

Honestly this has been my favorite piece of content you’ve made Dean. A series like this would be fucking sweet!

Man this was great you oughta have him as a repeat guest! And also please do 4 levels with him, you’ll figure it out!

3:38

found Vildhjarta in the beginning of this year and been really, really into it lately... Now my favorite bald canadian man and the legend himself in one video? I'm gonna savor this like a good cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day

That was honestly so fun to geek out on guitar talk. Top content for metal guitarists and aspiring producers, really hoping to see more of this series and that glorious mustache !

Had trouble sleeping and watched most of this at 3 am. I woke up excited to finish it. Great job!

Humanity's Last Breath are absolutely amazing. Buster is a riff monster. Not surprising that he uses such an odd tuning. I had wondered if he didn't change tunings mid-song on some tracks. And he grew up with the Darkane guys as mentors? What a great milieu from which to spread one's musical roots. Thank you for this, Dean. 👍

Yooooo I'm so stoked for this.

Thanks for sharing this Dean. ❤❤❤❤

The legend himself!!! Big fan!

I love this interview! I have watched it back quite a few times over the past year or so. *It would be an absolute treat if Calle would ever come on here, but I don’t know if that’s his thing at all.

Couldn't miss this one! It was great. Edit: Had to come back and say thanks for turning me on to Soreption. Fucking wow! I was missing out!

What an awesome hang session!

“12…on the K….on the K” had my dying laughing for some reason

Dope interview. I'd watch more like this for sure.

I enjoyed it so fcking much even if I don't know sht about guitars I'm only into singing but what a sweet talk you got really. Buster can say anything about himself but I swear this guy is music itself. Theres not much musicians I can call that. Like honestly there isonly one. And he's an absolute star he's a legend. But since this guy with his beautiful child called HLB has drawn me into progressive metal after almoust 3 decades of me hating metal so much in general I would say he's definetly a music himself as well as that one I've mentioned before. He's amazing I admire him so much and i think there's nothing he couldn't do in a music sphere. I want HLB to become insanely popular they desereved that more than anyone else imo of course. Awsome interview!

I second that this would make such a good Podcast!

"and other guys sit on your body?" nice timing, you couldn't resist it 🤣

Duuuuuude!!! Darkane fucking kicks ass!! I loooove their music, they need more recognition!!

I would say it's equivalent of jay Weinberg joining slipknot...from fan as a young kid to being part of a dream....so fucking cool!

Was a great chat, thall

this was awesome

you might not be able to do 4 levels of death metal..... but maybe you could get Buster to teach/ show you how to Thall or have Buster back again

When you guys were talking about Soreption I'm surprised Aeon wasn't mentioned as well. I feel like they were a huge influence for Soreptions style. Both are Swedish bands so I thought maybe they had some of the same members but surprisingly they don't but they sound so similar.

Amazing stuff …. Keep it going 🤘🔥🤘

Buster and Calle are the modern day metal leaders in my opinion.

Nice talk! I love HLB and watching Buster's guitar playing is fun to watch. I really wish you guys could figure out how to do 4lodm, even though there are obvious issues with that.

I feel like buster sweep picking backwards(? Would be mindblowing

Amazing guitarist

"What are your thoughts on the band loathe?" Live, laugh, loathe.

Awesome! I love HLB and Buster

Buster is a soo nice guy, 🤘🎸🙏❤️

Älskar Vildhjärta 😍 & Humanitys last breath också

That tuning is breaking my brain.

when he said Buster means dark source I lost it thats so sick and metal and appropriate

4 Levels of Death Metal with Buster!

This is why i love buster, he doesnt really know music theory, he just finds the sound he wants and goes. THATS how you make something new.

Spewing i missed this one. At least ive got heaps of bands to look up now!

So cool that Buster is a second gen engineer but it makes sense to how good he is at it.

Good interview. I knew I needed long diabetes fingers to play buster stuff lolol

Whoa... I just noticed that Buster's unique tuning reminds me of the one used on Norma Jean's album O' God The Aftermath: Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-B. Just more brutal. 🤘😎

3:38 - Stream start

fuckin love this guyyy !!! : ) ..lets go !!

Really cool interview You should do more of these! *Hint: Greg Kubaki

I've seen Darkane that they played with Embraced I think, Darkane blew every band of the stage!

Nice one!

Dude fuck!!!!! Dude Darkane is the shit!!!! I super love there shit !!!! Goddamn the best vocals

something about perfect pitch I found really interesting... apparently people born with perfect pitch eventually will have their reference tones go down half a step. So in their head E natural suddenly will sound like Eb, and when hearing a recording they are familiar with it may sound sped up or noticeably higher in pitch... IDK why but these keys sound more "fundamental" sometimes than the actual natural keys.

Can we please get this man to a million subs?

Yay I’m type 1 diabetic too! Let us suffer together. :D And like Dean mentioned early in the interview Quebec had soooo many good metal bands we’re very spoiled. Edit: I’m left handed and learned to play right handed and it wasn’t too complicated for me to learn like that.

Archspire a couple of months ago, and HLB tonight :)

“Called the conjuncture of the spheres”

I see Buster. I watch.

I concur about soreption! Tony is phenomenal on drums and his facial expressions show such much emotion of evil when he plays haha.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiic.

Hey dean do you know alluvial? Because their guitarist/ mastermind wes hauch is a straight up monster, in case u didn't know ...

don't be ashamed of your height dean, own that shit.

11:51 bands like first fragment, beyond creation or even story untold

Vildhjarta is soo much cooler, wish youd have their lead guitarist on 😔

Funniest thing in this podcast is that the guy (Buster) is using/wearing HD800s, 1,5k audiophile reference headphones… Probably to listen to every nuance of the interviewers voice😂🎉

Do one with Michael Keene!

Note on Rick Beato and his son and how he was raised: Perfect pitch is not a developed skill, it is essentially the same as the way the infant/prenatal brain develops and is primed for language acquisition. Just like how babies recognize their native phonetics and start assigning meaning to those sounds, people with perfect pitch are simply able to pick out and replicate specific tones that are effortless planted into their brain (through early/prenatal exposure to complex music usually) the same way phonetics are. After that it's just a matter of someone recognizing that someone is perfectly replicating tones when they sing and then giving those tones names (A, C, F#, etc.) just like how you tell someone learning a language what different words mean. So I really don't believe Rick had to do very much rigorous training to have his son do what he does, he was just able to recognize his son has this brain development and then told him the names. As Dean pointed out, that's why people who speak tonal languages are more likely to have perfect pitch naturally. Furthermore, because of how the brain develops, it actually is impossible to develop perfect pitch or be able to perfectly speak a tonal language later in life because our brains are literally incapable of hearing the sounds in the same way! That's also why it actually is "painful" for people with perfect pitch to listen to out of tune music. Imagine you're talking to someone, but they are pronouncing every word slightly wrong/off. Like if you were having a conversation with someone and they said "I saw your friend walking down the street" but instead it sounded like "E sew yar frond wookin den tha chreet" it would drive you mad! Additionally, people's perfect pitch tends to drift up or down in tone as you get older and then the problem is even worse. Combined with the fact that there's not really much creative advantage available to you when compared to someone with relative pitch, and you realize that perfect pitch is more than overrated, it actually can kinda suck.

So Buster mixed the new Soreption?!

Have Tobi on and ask him how he writes such nice melodies

headstock 1 inch from screen NOOO lol

Noah from Bermuda uses a similar tuning on an 8 string. EBEADEFE.

Black Metal blast beat is the shit

18:35 Without trying, you can be Gorguts

On stream, he sounds nearly identical to Christian Von Koenigsegg

Type 1 rep \m/

Missed most of this. What was the best band that was mentioned?

Anyone know what band Buster is talking about at 22:10?

I think she actually sneezed a C note

5 Dollars... BUSTER

what’s the name of the death metal band (around 40mins in) with the awesome drummer and weird riffs? I can’t for the life of me understand what you guys are saying

T H A L L

Anyone knows from which song is the riff at 47:16 ?

oh in terms of requests for guests: Either Nico Kalajakis or Matt Killner (another drummer who also writes mean ducking riffs!) from Iniquitious Deeds, Jake Wilkes from Disentomb or Migeloud from Wormed!

Diabedeez nutz

hatalom streammmmm

Canapda

GLUMSLÖV REPRESENT

I'm left handed but play right handed guitars... I never understood why you would need a left handed guitar when you're just starting out.

Gm Fruit

Spencer is the best drummer! This tony guy is 2nd...

thall

who interviewed whom? Buster \m/

1:05:00 "Buster. how to fart ?"

53:48 😏

Buster plays guitar lefty but strung upside-down, as a lefty this is just so fucking weird to me.

Too much of you and too little of Buster

Four levels of diabetes

Buster is insane! Like Ken Bedene or Krimh, he not only is a monster on the drums, but shreds as well! That being said, not the biggest fan of the new Vildhjarta, that shit is just too complicated for me, it makes Meshuggah sound like they took Xanax.
