For a new band with as much momentum as Spiritbox, not many people talk about Mike. He's a wicked guitarist and producer who needs a lot more attention.
@@nicolirecario oooof. The purpose is that 10 lvls of %genrename% it used to be a bunch of jokes over genres playstyle stereotypes. And the Mick Gordon's trick it was a joke that developed into a full song after 8 months or something after this video was released
I seriously appreciate that Mick Gordon is being recognized as essentially the progenitor of this wave of djenty modern metal. Also, mad props getting Mike on here! Spiritbox is straight unbridled 🔥
Eh. He made 8 strings famous but truth is Meshuggahs been using em for a couple decades now. In my honest opinion, the only thing he's done is make what's already been done appeal to a much broader crowd. Doesn't mean he's not talented, love the doom OST, just think calling him the progenitor of this wave is kind of a stretch. Definitely partially responsible, but that's it.
The bendy Boi riff was sick af. And I swear I'm not just sayin that cuz I'm also a bendy Boi player. That's shit was perfect. Stuttering going down the frequency spectrum when done tastefully like that is sick af. Great groove.
I'm quite taken with Mike's Aristides (the one without the bright border) I could get lost in that paint job. This was sick as heck, level 10 should just become a whole ass song
Ambient FX Jeeeeeesus Mike. Talk about a riff that incorporates the whole entire fretboard. I expect that riff on Spiritbox’s next release. 🔥 Amazing video as always nick. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for having me!! *Circus music intensifies*
Thank you for participating in this video! Y’all rock!!
Killer riffs left and right in this one...
that circus riff is the perfect blend of your bands personality vs your bands music
Mike how does it feel being able to shit out killer riffs in your sleep?
Level 8 = String-er Scrapes
*We're not in Drop C anymore...*
Smash like because Mike is literally the best
Drop C#0 + Pitch?
It's the only option now
ofc that wasn't drop C, unholly is in drop D right?
Mike is a beast
Please, invite Calle Thomer.
Level 6 genuinely sounds like an old Spiritbox demo. Mike is a damn great writer
He's a BEAST
Hope, it's riff from next single 😅
@@dmitriy1788 NEXT SINGLE???? dawg they just dropped
I was going to comment that! And that was AWESOME
@@dmitriy1788 bruh you living under a rock?
The Ronald McDonald feature 😭😭😂
Many clown
He reason he's here is the implication
Confirmed. Mike is the aforementioned "Bendy Boi".
Truth
I was actually thinking “Bouncy Boi”, but it’s all the same. Lol
bouncy from all that silk in the strings
Darn right, Drop B is the wave.
And holy smokes, Mike's guitar looks cool.
Drop Z
@@NikNocturnal Oof, I think I'd need to treat my guitar and amp to a spa day after that.
@@36moshpit7 massage it with holy water after that 😂
Most of parkway drive songs are in drop B and I love all of them
@@NikNocturnal Drop Z for Gen Z
Glad this series is back! Awesome to have Mike Stringer in this. I love Spiritbox so much, Eternal Blue has been on repeat! He is a fantastic writer.
Mike is
@@NikNocturnal what a unique and completely understandable metaphor. Nik is
I love Mike's riffs. Even just memeing around they're still incredible.
I think they stopped "memeing around" several videos ago. These are just riff showcases now lol.
He's a beast!
Level 2 - Void of Vision
Level 3 - Veil Of Maya (old stuff)
Level 4 - Meshuggah
Level 5 - every metalcore band basically
Level 6 - Spiritbox demo
Level 7 - Currents
Level 8 - Gojira just had Sex with Meshuggah
Level 9 - Yeah Mick Gordon
Level 10 - Ronald McDonaldcore
Level 11 - Tuned low like ENOX
:D
Level 1 I Killed The Prom Queen - Say Goodbye
Level 5 is the best
Level 5 I'd say is ERRA
As usual level 11 is Buster from HLB
This Mike dude should really start a band. I see something in him. He's married to an incredible singer to I believe. They should start a band.
Spirtbox? IWOBO?
@@Lostcoastrocks bruh it was a joke
@@Lostcoastrocks you must be fun at parties eh?
Wait, him and Courtney are married?
@@yellowsaurus4895 Yep
And only now did we realize that he used Level 7 for the "Take Flight" riff, and Level 9 for Translucent
Termina tryna be Spiritbox 2.0 confirmed
real i noticed only now
IKR i think this is the first time the fans heard those riffs!!
This makes me excited to hear whatever Spiritbox does next. Mike is a certified RIFF LORD.
Late to the party but 0:50 is disgustingly groovy and I pray to whatever higher power necessary Spiritbox uses that riff one day
this duo... omg, every sound from your's guitars is pure juice. the world needs a collab song
I'm a simple man. I see Mike Stringer, I click
Me too
I love Mike's guitar so fucking much. It's pretty close to what my dream guitar would be.
Aristides guitars paint jobs are so beautiful
For a new band with as much momentum as Spiritbox, not many people talk about Mike. He's a wicked guitarist and producer who needs a lot more attention.
Bendy boi sound fresh af
I love that translucent and Take flight are in here
WE NEED MORE OF THESE 10 LEVEL VIDEOS
I'm trying D:
They take a good amount of work & collaboration so I space them out :)
@@NikNocturnal I appreciate that you do what the people want
you just gotta love Mike. The podcast with him on Twitch was amazing, he´s truly a blessing to the scene
nice. i love spiritbox and mike is a beast
Same
@@NikNocturnal you are a beast too nik
Yooooooo coming back to this video made me realize there were two unreleased Termina tracks in here! Riffs from Translucent and Take Flight!!
0:17 The Ancient Gods part 3 soundtrack leaked
0:17 Yellowjacket part 2
0:49 Rule of Djentlemen
1:21 The Ambient Effect
1:50 What if... Gojira Tuned Down
2:01 Doom 3
2:18 Circus with me
Well 2:01 is now Termina's song
@@nicolirecario Of course dude
@@nicolirecario this was a joke with 8 month delayed punchline
@@such.ukr.nu.metalcore what joke?
@@nicolirecario oooof. The purpose is that 10 lvls of %genrename% it used to be a bunch of jokes over genres playstyle stereotypes. And the Mick Gordon's trick it was a joke that developed into a full song after 8 months or something after this video was released
coming back here after the last two singles of termina to find out that nik actually used riffs of this video to create songs, thats cool :D
1:36 Nik spoiled "Take Flight"
I seriously appreciate that Mick Gordon is being recognized as essentially the progenitor of this wave of djenty modern metal. Also, mad props getting Mike on here! Spiritbox is straight unbridled 🔥
Mick is the goat, the Doom eternal DLC soundtrack just sounds like a wal-mart brand version of Gordon
@@PJSteMarie lmao while I wouldn't say the TAG soundtrack is Great Value tier, I will absolutely agree that Mick Gordon is goated
Eh. He made 8 strings famous but truth is Meshuggahs been using em for a couple decades now. In my honest opinion, the only thing he's done is make what's already been done appeal to a much broader crowd. Doesn't mean he's not talented, love the doom OST, just think calling him the progenitor of this wave is kind of a stretch. Definitely partially responsible, but that's it.
@@craigperry6713 Well said, you're absolutely right that Meshuggah deserves that djent credit!
@@craigperry6713 I read Mick Gordon borrowed the 8 strings he used on doom from Meshugah. They're already friends...
Funny that the tapping lead and the mick Gordon affect are now termina songs
Listening to video and jamming out, gets to 1:40 …..hey wait a minute, you had that song ready to go that far back
So Level 7 got turned into Take Flight. Two Termina Songs teased in here. Nice.
I’d watch videos of mike stringer just fooling around on the guitar for hours, he’s very good, technical and effortless
Same
Really clever having level 9 as your new Termina song 😂😂😂. I thought Translucent sounded familiar!
Ago translucent at 2:01? Time to learn this shit
I KNEW IT. THE NEW TERMINA SONG USES THE LEVEL 7 LEADS!!!
Nik: raising whammy pedal and smiling
Me: O-... Oh no
Nik: *moshpit deathsounds*
;)
oh damn level 9 riff is transluscent! soo cool to see it turn into a banger!
The riff "Ambient FX" is freaking awesome!
Loved that the Bouncy Boi was doing the Bendy Boi. Also: was that Mike with Courtney's hair? lol
Great vid!
your channel and spiritbox are the reason Im now into metal, and its such a nice genre!
That's awesome!
Welcome
I need that Bendy Boi riff in an actual song omg
YES
That's what I'm saying!
I thought that actually was a Spiritbox song for a minute
Also i just noticed your guys face on the top right lol hahahaha
Also that bendy boi was FIRE!!!
"We're not in Drop C anymore..."
:(
Everytime I see an aristides guitar it's like looking at an actual Ferrari
The bendy Boi riff was sick af. And I swear I'm not just sayin that cuz I'm also a bendy Boi player. That's shit was perfect. Stuttering going down the frequency spectrum when done tastefully like that is sick af. Great groove.
I'm quite taken with Mike's Aristides (the one without the bright border) I could get lost in that paint job. This was sick as heck, level 10 should just become a whole ass song
he played the translucent riff!!!! I just realized!
I love that Mike buys guitars that match his wife's hair! =)
Metal couple goals!
Riff 10 was like a vildjharta jam. Nice.
THALL
I cant stop replaying Level 6
This Aristides ad has some pretty killer riffs
oh my god coming back to level 7 and 9 and hearing that they’re the newest termina songs out rn
Awesome colab choice with Mike! Maybe level 12 with the POG petal for octave break downs these days. ;)
Ambient FX Jeeeeeesus Mike. Talk about a riff that incorporates the whole entire fretboard. I expect that riff on Spiritbox’s next release. 🔥 Amazing video as always nick. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Preach
Holy hell Bendy Boi was the coolest riff I have heard in awhile
mike stringer is the single best name for a guitarist
Ambient FX and Tapping level 7 sound so sick!
1:21 "Circle with me" remastered leads XD
i´ve seen what you did at Level 6 ;) it´s the Take flight lead. right before our eyes :D
And lvl 9 is the intro riff of Translucent
I appreciate the changing face icons in the top right, very nice touch lol
Level 5 - Architects Holy Hell Era
Level 6 - Northlane Discoveries Era
Level 7 - ERRA / Invent, Animate
Mike's signature guitars with the Eternal Blue logo inlaid on the neck are smexy. NGL.
Omg Mike's Eternal Blue guitars are so sick!!!
Holy shit I totally want to hear that bendy boi as a full track. That riff was so sick.
oh boy, this 5 level riff is beauuuutiful!
Mike is chuggy as always
And his guitars too
This was a fantastic Guitar Riffs Master Class
woah I just realized nik actually used that riff for the mick gordon effect for termina. Nice one nik :D
Why is Mike so ridiculously good bruh I already need new Spiritbox
DUDE, MIKE WITH A WIG AND THE CLOWNCORE RIFF AHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAH

This is the best video ever.
During "The Mick Gordon Effect" I was waiting intently for Nicks picture to sneeze the entire time.
Level 7 is taking flight and level 9 is translucent?
Mikes riff is so fucking good. I kind of see it as a drum groove in guitar with fills and such.
This is exactly why metalcore is the best metal sub genre. All soo good!
The photos in the corner are a priceless gift from the metal gods
level 7 is now a full song btw!!
\o/
Ok that's definitly the best video of your channel buddy.. your riffs and Mike ones are just INSANE ♥
They liked the "Mick Gordon" riff so much, Nik used it in "Translucent" by Termina :)
Yeah, I’m gonna need the Everything Breakdown turned into a full song. Thanks!
That Bendy Boi riff was 🤯
im in love with that eternal blue guitar omg
1:36 don't think we wouldn't notice you used Take Flight.
Or at 2:00 where you used Translucent.
Great choice with the feature. Mike is killer
Wow, 'octave riffs' was amazing!!
"You have been Metalcored." Should be a t-shirt.
Ok
That bendy boi riff brings me back to this video often 🤘🤘 its so saucy
And now pls Will Ramos for 10 Levels of Modern Deathcore
YES
Y’all fucking killed it. Also mike’s guitars are sick af
Majority of upcoming modern metalcore bands watching this video:
*WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN*
^^^
"The Gojira Scrap" we have an impostor among us, Vatos.
Level 8 that scraping is so giving me Circle With Me Vibes!!
I still play in drop c and the whammy effect is one of my favorite guitar effects to use.
Nik's evil smile when holding his whammy pedal always gets me 😂
I just realized that level 7 is Take Flight by Termina and level 9 is Translucent by Termina.
I cannot NOT move to Mike's riffs... Love you guys!
Mike brings the bounce
Level 5 was pure fire, got massive ERRA vibes there
Level 5 is apparently when you decide to become Architects.
Those riffs though! Fucking sick! You guys nailed it on the head.
i loved ambient FX personally
and mick gordon lol that was awesome
I rewatched this and realized that Nik foreshadowed Take Flight with level 7
Thanks for confirming that Sean Long's innovative utilisation of the whammy pedal makes him the best metalcore guitarist ever :D
WSS is amazing, indeed.
