@@RamtheCowy Another thing that sucks is Passages and JMP aren't on itunes or anything, just felt like saying that for the tiny chance he might put them up there some day.
It's pretty incredible - they're without a doubt primarily a riffs band, but the lead playing is as melodic, as technical and, above all, as clean as anything else you'll ever hear.
To be honest it never felt like Sylosis was over for me. Their releases (from the second EP with Jamie all the way up to Dormant Heart) are so replayable for me that I just don't seem to get bored of their music. I'm not craving new music like I am with a lot of other bands, although a new album this year would be great
He should be able to make a living off Sylosis. I do my best to support Josh. I own all his solo stuff along with every Sylosis album and single. Bought cloths from his shop, as well as bought some of his art. I have 1 of the 20 copies of two different paintings he made. The Sword through the green skull, and the women wearing the Crown of Thrones. I’m not trying to tute my own horn or anything. I just hope more people who love his music help him out, as well as the rest of Sylosis. I’m stoked to hear about another album and can’t wait. I challenge everyone to pay for the album and give Josh incentive to consider a new Sylosis album in the future as well. We need it.
Josh is one of the most underrated players around, and it shows his love of the music and dedication that even after joining a band who are on a meteoric rise like Architects, he keeps Sylosis going. Much respect to the Captain for yet another great interview, and also to Josh for stepping up and carrying on the legacy of Tom Searle (another phenomenally underrated player and innovator).
He’s bit really underrated because everyone who knows him and his work in Sylosis knows he’s a genius and an incredible player. He is 100% under heard, deserves a lot more fame and notoriety because he’s one of the absolute best in metal but the people who do know him know he’s one of the best and don’t underrate, just underrated in the fact that he’s not nearly as well known as he should be. Dude is a metal gos in my book.
A massive thank you to the Captain and the Andertons Team for briging Josh Middleton on the show! He was a huge inspiration and had a profound influence on my guitar playing!
@@MJL-91 yeah i listen to conclusion of an age (the song) on some demo CD off some magazine. Liked it, but got the album and my face was absolutely melted by the opening track
Not all of their albums are equally good, but each of them has one or more tracks that makes it absolutely indispensible. I think Edge of the Earth is better than Monolith, but I wouldn't want to miss Out From Below and A Dying Vine for the world.
This is the best damn "Captain Meets" ever. Josh is such an incredibly underrated player. One of the cleanest players I have heard in my life. Dude is a literal Riff machine. His lead playing is unreal also. Kudos to you guys for having him on!
They've been using that C# standard with a G# tuning for ages tbf. I remember an interview with Tom where he said the F# tuning they use in Gravedigger came about when he dropped his guitar and the bottom string went flat.
The way Josh chose his first LTD guitar, looking at the headstock, was the same way I chose my MH1000. The headstock was the coolest thing around, and Stephen Carpenter from Deftones played them!
Had a lesson from him and Bailey in Edinburgh, I was too nervous to play then got drunk and made a clown of myself. Still one of the best gigs I’d been to.
So glad you had Josh on. He has been my favorite musician since I first heard their track After lifeless Years back in about 2009. Even putting aside his insane talent on the guitar, I think he is an incredible vocalist. Everyone needs to know about him in my opinion.
I literally gasped when I saw that you got Josh on here! The man is such an incredible guitarist and songwriter and one of the cleanest players I've ever heard.
Winter Hisagi well to each thier own path- but this guy is a TOTAL poser thinking he's an "artist " , or "thygh the years" - really 5-6yrs ? you are wasting ya time w posers
9wen Wilson This "poser" is selling out massive venues and his band are writing meaningful music while you waste your time on UA-cam comments bashing other people's interests, so I say he's doing pretty damn well for himself.
@Toxic Potato Because they're really talented and have one of the best live shows today. And besides let's be real, coming from a massive Deftones fan (I love them even more than Architects) Chino is VERY iffy live. His live performance can either be spot-on incredible or god awful.
Discovered Architects about a year and a half ago. Amazing stuff. I tell EVERYONE about them so more people in the U.S. can appreciate their genius! Absolutely brilliant!
DAN BEST saw them in 2011 open for As I Lay Dying with Of Mice and Men, The Ghost Inside and Iwrestledabearonce I’ll never forget that night Sylosis made everyone but AILD look like amateurs; been following josh ever since!
I see that Josh is playing an ESP guitar 🎸 I'm glad a friend got me into them because they are excellent instruments and are an absolute Joy to play 🤘🤘🤘
I've got no interest in guitars but this is a fantastic interview. You can tell the two got on well and the interviewer is genuinely interested and asking the right questions. I love Architects and it's good to see Josh getting recognition!
Sylosis deserves to be just as big as Architects, if not bigger. IMO Sylosis is, bar none, the best thrash band this generation has produced. It's insane, yet understandable, they aren't at least as successful as something like Trivium.
@@VitrescentObelisk haha, not weird at all, bud. Not sure if it's considered advertising around here, but I've got it posted on instagram @remushs if you scroll waay down (like one year ago). There's a pic with Ali that I posted in December, too!
Whoever decided to get Josh on......genius that person!
Josh is majorly underrated. His playing and song writing in Sylosis still blows my mind.
Couldn't agree more.
I miss Sylosis so much it hurts.
Noah Leach man same! I was just thinking that and here comes this video
@@RamtheCowy Another thing that sucks is Passages and JMP aren't on itunes or anything, just felt like saying that for the tiny chance he might put them up there some day.
You guys realize sylosis is almost done recording a new album right?
Yeah me too
@@noahleach7690 lol why?
Sylosis has some of the heaviest and best riffage I've ever heard, Josh is a monster.
Heaviest E-standard band
It's pretty incredible - they're without a doubt primarily a riffs band, but the lead playing is as melodic, as technical and, above all, as clean as anything else you'll ever hear.
@@Sammie_Sorrelly yeah the leads are so clean, Josh is a phenomenal guitarist
One of the best examples that you don't need to play Drop F on an 8 string to be heavy af
@@jbasti227 down to F# in Architects, E standard in Sylosis, always heavy af.
10:07 Sylosis fans rejoice, there is hope.
Heck yes!!!
I just did a small joy cry
THANK GOD !!!!! ❤️

YES! Finally Josh is getting some recognition. Thanks for the interview!

Josh is a man of his word. Sylosis have just announced a new album and released a new track 🤘great to have them back.
Conclusion of an Age was an absolute banger of an album. Love Sylosis.
I thought that too and then listen to the other albums and realized they're all great
@@nothing2see315 Edge of the Earth - absolute classic
After lifeless years absolute banger of a song

Yes! This is great, I've had Holy Hell on repeat since it came out, outstanding record
Rocco Pezzin love you rocco ♥️
saw Sylosis with lamb of God and megadeth in 2014 in Wembley, what a gig that was!
Respect to you but that was 2015
Besides the playing, the best thing I heard in this interview was that Sylosis is not over and a new record will be out, hopefully this year. \,,/
This is the best damn "Captain Meets" ever. Josh is such an incredibly underrated player. One of the cleanest players I have heard in my life. Dude is a literal Riff machine. His lead playing is unreal also.
Kudos to you guys for having him on!
JOSH IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST OF A METAL GUITARIST! You have no idea how happy this makes me. Thank you, Andertons!!!
NOW IT IS CONFIRMED BY JOSH HIMSELF: SYLOSIS IS NOT OVER AND THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ALBUM!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
He said that long ago on his yt.
This made my day. I love Architects, but Josh officially joining had me pretty nervous about Sylosis for a while.
I need every living soul on this planet to pray to their respective god, stat!!!
New track just dropped and that shit is killer!
My favourite guitarist for a long time, whether in Architects or Sylosis, this man can just do no wrong.
"A previous band, Sylosis"
I'M NOT LISTENING, I CAN'T HEAR YOU
Love Josh and his playing. Sylosis has always been a big influence on me. Great interview as always Lee!
Haven't even watched the episode but already know it's gonna be the best one. Josh is such an amazing player
Same
This is so random and out of the blue but I am not complaining one bit.
(Holy) Hell yes!! what a guest, I love Architects
Never heard of him before, glad i watched this
THANK YOU ANDERTONS! Architects are my favorite band and josh is a brilliant guitarist
RIP Tom Searle. still heartbroken to this day
So glad to hear that a new Sylosis album is in the works; I hope it gets released this year!
Josh's guitar lessons on youtube tought me a lot. So you know i was extatic to hear he joined Architects!
The tuning explanation Architects fans have been waiting for! 24:50
Basically old school mastodon tuning
They've been using that C# standard with a G# tuning for ages tbf. I remember an interview with Tom where he said the F# tuning they use in Gravedigger came about when he dropped his guitar and the bottom string went flat.
Wow I did not expect to see my favorite metal guitar player on here!
What a nice surprise :) Thanks!
Not enough people know about Sylosis which is unfortunate. They deserve way more recognition than what they get.
+infinitely

I know very little about Architects but I'm glad I watched this. Josh seems to be a first rate bloke and a cracking player.
Sylosis is criminally underrated
They are both really incredible bands tbh
O Heck yes!!! Hands down a killer player!the work he did on SylosiS is legendary!!!
My old Guitar teacher :) Fully deserves to be where he is. Unreal player
Josh is my favorite composer and guitar player. Also, Cradle of Filth \m/
So glad you had Josh on. He has been my favorite musician since I first heard their track After lifeless Years back in about 2009. Even putting aside his insane talent on the guitar, I think he is an incredible vocalist. Everyone needs to know about him in my opinion.
19:00 *Tool* ,
headlining Rock am Ring/Rock im Park and haven't done an album in 13 years
Exactly my reaction. With Karnivool being a possible other option.
My heart jumped when he said he's still working on sylosis music
Wow, didn't expect this one in all honesty. Monster player though, and fully deserves more attention
I literally gasped when I saw that you got Josh on here! The man is such an incredible guitarist and songwriter and one of the cleanest players I've ever heard.
One of my absolute heroes! Thank you so much for this!
Ratho Quarter if that's a hero, you're an idiot n what you are 16 yrs old?
9wen Wilson I'm 22 and love Architects. Not everyone is going to listen to blues and all out shred fests.
Winter Hisagi well to each thier own path- but this guy is a TOTAL poser thinking he's an "artist " , or "thygh the years" - really 5-6yrs ? you are wasting ya time w posers
9wen Wilson This "poser" is selling out massive venues and his band are writing meaningful music while you waste your time on UA-cam comments bashing other people's interests, so I say he's doing pretty damn well for himself.
Winter Hisagi no hate ignorance, no talent, hacks made "important " by media
Been a fan of Josh for a long time. It's awesome to see lengthy interview with him!
Really hoping for a Sylosis return soon!
Oh and the band is TOOL. already been announced now. Now imagine a tour of TOOL, DEFTONES and ARCHITECTS. That would be amazing
@Toxic Potato Because they're really talented and have one of the best live shows today. And besides let's be real, coming from a massive Deftones fan (I love them even more than Architects) Chino is VERY iffy live. His live performance can either be spot-on incredible or god awful.
I've been a huge fan of Josh since the early Sylosis days. I'm so excited to be watching this interview.
Discovered Architects about a year and a half ago. Amazing stuff. I tell EVERYONE about them so more people in the U.S. can appreciate their genius!
Absolutely brilliant!
What a time to be alive.
If you play high gain and have a kemper check out Josh's profile packs. Also it looks like I'll be buying another Fortin pedal.
He is the reason why l bought Fishman Moderns! What a true guitar hero.
Yeah same here.
Dude josh middleton is my hero.... 62 mooons.... Omfgggggg....must have seen sylosis like 4 times
DAN BEST saw them in 2011 open for As I Lay Dying with Of Mice and Men, The Ghost Inside and Iwrestledabearonce I’ll never forget that night Sylosis made everyone but AILD look like amateurs; been following josh ever since!
@@hops2099x have you listened to "ghost psalm" and "lucid" on the passages project... My mind melted!
DAN BEST hell yeah 🤘
you lucky bastard
Marty Friedman next month? yes please
yes this needs to happen
My dentist suggested I look up josh Middleton , and I didn’t know he did a video with the captain, so I’m having a very good day.
I bet Rabea and chappers were loving life when this was filmed.
conclusion of an age the best metal album this century
Well done Lee, nice to see an interview of an architects member where you actually did research and genuinely seemed to care. T//S forever ❤
Yep, always gotta make an effort with a fellow Brit haha
Hope Sylosis returns to the states and get the recognition they deserve.
Very excited to check out this Fortin pedal!!!
I had no idea josh was in Architects until this interview, an absolute guitar hero!
As much as I love Architects, and despite how amazing of an album Holy Hell is, I need some more Sylosis in my life
I see that Josh is playing an ESP guitar 🎸 I'm glad a friend got me into them because they are excellent instruments and are an absolute Joy to play 🤘🤘🤘
I've got no interest in guitars but this is a fantastic interview. You can tell the two got on well and the interviewer is genuinely interested and asking the right questions. I love Architects and it's good to see Josh getting recognition!
New song is sick, can't wait for the new album and tour!
Awesome! This man is an insane guitarist, from two of favourite bands
Thanks for keeping someone who lives abroad up to date. I confess: I have never heard of Sylosis or The Architects. Ever. Must go look 'em up...
I’ve somehow only just found this, love josh! Great interview!
I get the feeling I’m gonna be watching this video alot
I love you for this
Thx! I suggested Josh way back for a meets video but I didn't actually think a player like him would ever be on. I guess he's more known today.
Interview Brett Hinds of Mastodon!!
20:00 Sounds like the lead on Death Is Not Defeat
That's right. To me it sounded like it would fit with memento mori as well, but it's from death is not defeat as you said.
Great to see this interview ! Thank you very much 💖
Sylosis deserves to be just as big as Architects, if not bigger. IMO Sylosis is, bar none, the best thrash band this generation has produced. It's insane, yet understandable, they aren't at least as successful as something like Trivium.
One of my favourite guitarist/composer ever! thanks Captain!!
One of the best guitar players in modern metal right here, Josh is an amazing player and person so grateful that you got him on
Great! Liked before watch!
Andy James and Josh are my fav' "modern" guitar players.
this is a great vid. Nice to see his mindset. He's one of my fav. Guitarists
Hoped there'd be more playing
Una de las mejores bandas que he escuchado en mi vida, hace mucha falta Rob en la bateria
Awesome video. Wish it had some more playing but good to hear him talk about his career, gear and Architects.
38:13 hint at new pedal * I can’t wait to hear more about this future pedal him and nolly are designing I can already tell it’s gonna be sick
Is it him and Nolly or him and Christianson though? Which Adam is he talking about there. :D
6:37 megadeth
My favourite headstock as well haha looks like you could kill with it
clearly you haven't seen Karl's flying v spike from Nile
Holy Hell yes \m/
Don't call Sylosis a "previous band", it hurts, you know?
This is what I am waiting for, love Sylosis.
Was NOT expecting this.
Massive lege!!! Thanks for having him on
Finally! Josh Middleton!!!!
I've got the dormant heart thingy tattooed all over my chest, haha. Met Ali Richardson & showed him. Hoping to one day get to show it to Josh, too.
Is it weird to ask for some way to see it? mainly cause I want a dormant heart tattoo sometime myself
@@VitrescentObelisk haha, not weird at all, bud. Not sure if it's considered advertising around here, but I've got it posted on instagram @remushs if you scroll waay down (like one year ago). There's a pic with Ali that I posted in December, too!
@@RemusHerciu thanks mate I'll check it out
@@RemusHerciu wow it looks amazing dude. I really want to get the emblem they had on the Mercy single out on my wrist
Seeing Josh Middleton (Architects) and not Josh Middleton (Architects/Sylosis) kinda hurts...
I mean, lee literally says that in the first 45 seconds though.
@@FrankThaThird It's almost like you actually watched the video.
That’s probably what Exodus fans felt about Hammett in 1983 lol
The people have spoken
@@andertons Amazing
Couldn't believe this was real when I saw it. I miss Sylosis so much - can't wait for that new album he mentioned.
Wow, wasn’t expecting this!!
One of my guitar heroes 👍👍
Saw the Architects last night in Brisbane. Best metal band I have ever seen live. I'm still struggling to hear and my neck is killing me.
AGH I LOVE YOU JOSH
what a pleasant surprise really didn’t expect this
a hero of mine.
How did I miss this when it came out
He has a point I think I will go back and learn all the chord positions for song writing purposes and so I could easily play songs on the spot
