      They sound like if you played a 44rpm DFA1979 record on 33 1/3rpm by mistake.
      Or just DFA trying to play after accidentally snorting some crushed up tramadol instead of coke.

    • @jordy2x_

      Johnathan Doe they literally sound nothing like death from above. sure the rig is similar but the riffs are way different.

    • @Jonathan_Doe_
      @Jonathan_Doe_ 4 роки тому

      OCEANS If you slow down death from above and play them to a bouncy/ploddy beat, the riffs are very similar. Speaking as someone who’s done it on bass for lols.
      You can also do the reverse, play Royal Blood fast and it kinda turns into DFA

    • @jordy2x_
      @jordy2x_ 4 роки тому

      Johnathan Doe yes but in order to make them sound similar the amount of tweaking is just absurd, means you’re changing the groove and beat, essentially creating a completely new song.

I've never learned rock song or something interesting, it was mostly Czerny and it was irritating for a kid to play songs they don't like over and over and over and over. the piano class was more like a factory that run by unsuccessful pianist and collage students to make money out of middle class parents. idk how the other country teach music to kids, but these are how I felt r n.

    If you’re a three-piece band Royal Blood got your back because now your guitar is Consolo while the bass player actually holds down the fort appropriately and probably one of the best ways possible! Because they invented a way to do that. In fact they ARE that just as a whole!!!!
