  • We've asked nearly every guitarist we've had on Gear Factor what riff they're proudest of writing. Watch these metalcore shredders- like Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria, Lee Malia of Bring Me the Horizon and Michael Paget of Bullet for My Valentine- discuss and play their favorites from their own catalogs.
