Metalcore Guitarists Play Their Favorite Riffs
Рет қаралды 263,182
2 ай бұрынWe've asked nearly every guitarist we've had on Gear Factor what riff they're proudest of writing. Watch these metalcore shredders- like Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria, Lee Malia of Bring Me the Horizon and Michael Paget of Bullet for My Valentine- discuss and play their favorites from their own catalogs.

Two things about that first AA riff: 1. I cringed at ‘Off the new record’ line. Maybe it’s unintentional, but it comes across like something a douchbag would do to plug the record and satisfy the label. It may be ‘on message’ but Wayne & Garth would rightly crucify him for picking that. 2. It’s basically a thinly-veiled rehash of Afraid To Shoot Strangers by Iron Maiden. Sorry (not sorry).
