Or a girl can’t enjoy metal. I love girly music but it still doesn’t change the fact it’s girly. And lots of John Mayer’s stuff is girly which is why girls love him usually more than dude do.

    • @arkman117

      Yep the detriment of that band was Scott stapp, first his high points, his lyrics were well written, and he was very charismatic live and gave a good performance as a front man in terms of showmanship. Now the reasons I say he was the detriment, drug abuse, self explanatory. Poor cohesion with his band mates, he did not get along with most of the members, him and mark probably had the best relationship and even then you could tell mark was being kind with how he spoke about him in interviews. Very inconsistent voice live sometimes his voice would be on point and next night way off, and I really don't know why. And finally his voice was great but he focused to hard on certain aspects of his voice to often and it got old and almost became a meme of sorts. He needed to be more dynamic and work on diversifying his vocal performance. Same issue really that nickleback has with Chad Kroger except Chad is not a good lyricist imo, in a way Kirk hammett also has a similar issue because of his use of the way pedal on nearly every solo he plays.

    When I play Higher I usually switch to playing the lower octave D chord on the 4th-6th strings after I play the noodley riff so that I can let the D on the 3rd string ring a bit longer. Either play them all as a chord (with the highest D vibrato to make it stand out) or hit the low D chord on the next upbeat. Then go back to playing the C# thing on the A string.

    Tyler's got some balls comparing a part of a Creed song to Jimi Hendrix.
    I agree actually.

    Dude. For LAME songs Part Deux: You GOT to do the solo from Maniac from the 80s flick Flashdance. It’s literally the best solo in any pop song ever. And no one ever remembers that it’s there!

    When you did the Sharona "bridge" section I literally screamed because I love that bit and it bothers me that it is so overshadowed by the riff.

    Mark Tremonti is one of the best guitarists of this era. His work with Creed & Alter Bridge is amazing.
    Btw, I recently found your channel & have been loving it. Keep up the good work & always rock out.

    The album, Get the Knack, was released before my freshman year of college. The Knack, were influenced by my favorite band, The Beatles. What's lame is not playing the solo on a Gibson Les Paul.

    I definitely noticed that lick in Body is a Wonderland! My favourite part actually. It could be a great jazzy jam section if he wanted to stretch his amazing band out a la Dead & Co. Thanks for breaking it down
