    Joel definitely has more chops on guitar, but calling adam untalented is stupid. he plays guitar, drums (originally), records bass, and is a GREAT producer who has produced countless bands.

      Joel is a very humble guy. There are glimpses of his incredibly slick technique all over the place but it tends to blend into the mix without being that obvious. I just think Adam and Joel have different strengths.

    The typical 'metalhead' mentality on the comments' section here where people think just because Adam states that Joel plays clean, that he is not up to standard. That's not what he was insinuating at all. Grow up people, seriously.

    • @Picksqueal
      @Picksqueal 10 років тому +12

      The clean part is even the harder part of the two. Anyone that says he's getting the clean part because he's less skilled is a troll or ignorant.

    @thedonutboy21 all you do is play the correct note with the volume turned down, and then use the volume dial to quickly turn the volume up and down at the right time. (I think it might be 2nd fret for one of them and 12th for another on drop C, but not sure...)
