    Watching this song made it even cooler than it already was! That muted rest-stoke-sweep thing on the verse is sick!

    I love how you can just tell no over-thinking went into the process and it came out beyond headbang worthy.

    It’s so hilarious how simple the chorus sounds but it’s basically two guitar parts, and the way they both come together for a second for that (b?) chord is just ungodly. That’s true composition there, and a reminder that a song doesn’t have to be widdly diddly to be incredible.

    I hate that Javier is so rarely mentioned when others discuss AAL.Weightless did, admittedly have a small Javier representation, but The Joy of Motion helped him shine (and helped people find Mestis.)
    From what I've heard from The Madness of Many, I can only hope that Javier receives as much recognition as he deserves. (Tosin, Javier, and Matt are all a part of AAL and all make it as special as JOM was.)

      @@metalhead4282 No he's right. How many mentions of Tosin do you hear on guitar forums and Facebook pages. Now how often do you hear about Javier? Of coure a lot of it is due to the fact that Tosin is a true innovator when it comes to develloping new techniques but we should not forget how good Javier is at Rythmic stuff. I love his solo stuff as much as I like AAL stuff.

      He's got the prototype model, which he's playing as well as the production model. The prototype has a push/pull coil split instead of the switch. He also has the JR-208.
