    I was perusing the Blink-182 reddit and people were talking about Jerry Finn and the records he's worked on. "Sing The Sorrow" has some of the greatest guitar tones of the past 20 years on it. They're so good, that nobody has let the word get out as to how they achieved some of the MASSIVE tones on that record. Jade is one of my favorite guitar players not only for his sound but also his playing. He's able to play those bar chords with all the distortion in the world, yet you can hear EVERYTHING.

      CINEMA TWENTY FOUR no but Butch Vig at least revealed what gear was used.

    It has always blown me away how Jade makes complex playing sound simple. He uses massive chords and incredibly thoughtful compositions, playing lead and rhythm at the same time with true mastery. What a killer writer and player he is!!!

  • @adamhurt612
    @adamhurt612 5 років тому +9

    One of the most solid rhythm players around and when he does throw a solo it’s always well done albeit short. Have a hard time playing his stuff for any length of time... all the full barres takes a lot of grip strength. Most underrated player ever imo.

  • @yucatansuckaman5726

  • @saltpeter7429
    @saltpeter7429 3 роки тому +9

    I am a metal fan. Most of the guys I know who play are into classic rock and metal, I am kind of alone in my appreciation of Punk. I love all music, and Jade is one of those few players who have it all. As AFI, you cant nail them down to one sound or genre, sure, there is a certain time that is my favorite, but I have huge respect for people who keep expanding and dangerously exploring. He is a wonderful atmospheric player, I hold him in high regard with Adam Jones and Kim Thayil. They write their own way, blaze their own trail. I read in an interview that Jade likes metal, I felt he was a cool guy for being honest and outside what the punk scene would officially accept. All respect and appreciation.

    His playing and tones on Sing the Sorrow are some of my favorite, to this day. I won’t bother trying to describe it; you just have to listen to it to understand :)

  • @salinaember9527
    @salinaember9527 3 роки тому +5

    Jade doesn't get enough credit in the music world. Literally molded AFI into his vision. Still to this day, I have not heard anything remotely close to Jade/AFI's melodies, style, tone, composition. Black Sails, Art Of Drowning, Sing The Sorrow, Decemberunderground is all you need. I respect all they have achieved and the newer records still rock, but for me, having grown up with late 90s early 2000s AFI - that is what I always turn to and it's because of the fire that was there in the beginning.

      He's one of my favorite Guitarists/Musicians! The songs/music/guitar leads that he comes up with!? They blow me out of the water... He is a WONDERFUL Guitarist/Musician! He also seems like a very genuine, kind, down to earth guy as well... I'm very happy for him and all the success he has had! I agree with your opinion too... He composes some AMAZING music. And seeing him play live... It is always pretty much flawless! Cheers! :)

    Jade is seriously one of the most impressive rock guitarists to emerge in the last 20 years. I love his philosophy on writing and musical progression. He's said before that there are tons of AFI songs that haven't and may never be released just because they write so many of them for their albums, but once each album is out that's kind of the closing of a chapter for them, and they just go onto writing the next one. I think that's why their albums are always so solid, because they're literally picking the best of the best, out of the hundred or so songs they explore, it's always the ones they consider their best that end up on the album. Even more impressive is that of their unreleased music that has leaked, they're all bangers in their own right, they just didn't fit on the album. Yet it just goes to show how great a musician all of the band members are and how much love and devotion they pour into their songs and their albums that even the things that didn't make the cut weren't excluded because they aren't good, it's just because they didn't fit.

    Im a huge fan of the early AFI stuff (the Nitro years) really not a fan of their newer mainstream stuff BUT Jade was a huuuuge influence on my guitar playing and I learned a lot from his playing style. Seeing him jamming here on those riffs and songs was pretty cool.

  • @Hello-dy1gh
    @Hello-dy1gh 2 роки тому

    Amazing guitarist, a very big influence in guitarist playing style's. It could be a couple power chord verses or single note stuff but you can hear the influence J. Puget has had in so many guitar player's style's and riffs/song's.
