    Wow, an amazing musician Matt is! My friend Eric just showed me this video. I'm the bone player. Thanks for those of you sticking up for me but its alright, people always have an opinion. I used musician's etiquette by asking him if I could. I would never just start improvising over someone. As a jazz musician, knowing that's just rude. Just planned on taking a brief solo, then he told me to keep it going, so I did and had a great time! Yeah linear grooves aren't common in jazz and bop neither.

    What's funniest is that they don't know what they're hearing.
    If they had heard this with the other band members, they would have hated it.
    Edit: I recently came back to this video because it was in my recommended five years after this original comment. I was a dumb teenager who thought my holier-than-thou metal attitude was cool and unique. It's not. What I wrote above this edit is a dumb thing to say-even though it may be true-and is gatekeepy as fuck. It keeps other people away from the genre because it tells them that they can never understand these things on the same level as us EnLiGhTeNeD mEtAl LiStEnErS. It's not good for the scene. Don't be like 16-year-old Reverie, friends.

    • @frise6183
      @frise6183 5 років тому +16

      Because musical ideas can have dramatically different meanings depending on context. The Make Total Destroy drum groove by itself is, well, groovy, fun, moreso if it's impromptu on a random street. With the whole band behind it, it becomes a rather heavy metal song, with a strong emotional idea, and that's just not to the liking of certain people who might enjoy the drum groove on its own.

  • @Brokenlance

    To me, this is what music is about. It's not only about passion, meaning, and emotion, it's about bringing people together, people you don't even know, and just having fun. It brings people together and truly is the universal language. Gotta love music man haha and kudos to Matt man, such a talented guy.

Yes, you might be able to play a couple of notes here and there but can you actually PLAY it? There is a difference.
