Niiiiice, gives me a bit of an Animals as Leaders vibe!
Thanks Dave!
The idea behind this song was "play exactly what people would expect from an 8 string" so yea, Animals as Leaders.
Rob Scallon THis is better than any Animals as Leaders song that I've heard.
Animals As Leaders 'are technical but they cannot make a good song'
Alex051993 Then obviously you haven't listened to a lot of Animals As Leaders... :)
AAL are unlistenable
I got 99 time signatures but 4/4 ain't one
I think is 7/4
+BlindeyesTV there's 14/4, I have tab pro and checked it out
It changes between 4/4 and 3/4, so you could say it's 4/4, 7/4 and 13/4.
I think I'm getting this now; so mixed meter, at 75bpm: 8/8 and 7/8, or 150bpm: 8/4 and 7/4.
Counting 7/8 in quarters is ridiculous.
This gives me chills SO HARD.
oh god that part thats liek dun dun duuh dun dun dun
Contortionists As Leaders
chickenbeforeegg Two bands that have nothing to do with prog
+Funeral Flesh wtf lol
+chickenbeforeegg Between The Buried Animals As Leaders And Me
Pete made a tab and lesson video if anyone is up for learning the song ;)

There is a lesson to omen?
What picks do you use??
So nice.
blackjackmcgack There're schecter dimond + for 8 string and passive Cepheus i guess
Антон Утенков Schecter make a pickup for 8 strings?
Scallon The Summit.
Got an idea, opened Songsterr, searched Rob Scallon, saw like a hundred tabs and passed out... Well I know what I'm learning for like the next 5 years! Thanks Rob for putting all this stuff up on the interwebs you're doing this world a good'n :)
How did it go?
@@Cigarcat390 omg lmaooo
I don't think the song's long enough to be considered prog. Needs to be at least 13 min
+Zerxyo Sánchez It's not about lenght. He was just joking. Progressive is more about exploring the instrumental than about lenght.
69 minutes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
I'm not really a prog metal kinda guy, but I'm a prog guy. You'd be impressed by how awesome 13 minutes or more can be.
I'd have to agree, though. Length doesn't necessarily make prog what it is, though it is quite characteristic of it.
So Pink Floyd isn't prog?
Prog isn't about time
It's about a different way to show the music
That is probably the most expressive playing I've ever heard coming from an 8-string guitar. Most of the time, it's just these hacks playing these atonal, start/stop riffs on the low F# string that sound like dinosaur farts. In this case, Rob's playing is very melodic, and the bass strings just accent that instead of being the main focus, which sounds quite refreshing.
"Dinosaur farts." I like that description.
gibbsies Noooope. Both are playing 8s.
+Dartheria Well, to be fair, they are the exceptions rather than the rule when it comes to 8-string players.
+Dartheria Well, to be fair, they are the exceptions rather than the rule when it comes to 8-string players.
you could say the same about all his solo work as well
really like it, i dont know if this was a joke or not, but I have a soft spot for melodic metal.
JwblackRS If you like melodic, check out Mastodon if you haven't already (specifically Blood Mountain and Leviathan).
Another great mastodon album is crack the Skye
Me too
It is but in a very self aware way. Its probably my favorite track rob has ever done.
Even after more than two years I keep coming back to this track. Thank you for this!
I know I already commented but I literally listen to this song almost every day. Such a good collaboration and amazing sound!
Prog is more than just nutty time signatures, do to longer songs and extended structures, it creates a world within the music (Gustav Mahler had a phrase for it but I forgot). The only genres that really pull it off are prog, Ambiant, classical (if it can suck you in), and psychedelic stuff. I think the repetitiveness of this keeps in from being really in the spirit of prog. Still a great song though
"In 1907, Mahler met Jean Sibelius, whose symphonies are the polar opposite of Mahler's: compressed, distilled, self-referential. The composers discussed the meaning of the symphony. Sibelius admired its "profound logic and inner connection". Mahler completely disagreed: "A symphony must be like the world," he said. "It must embrace everything." And Mahler really did turn that all-encompassing embrace into sound: in a piece like the Eighth Symphony, you hear the whole world, in a range of references from ancient hymns to Goethe's Faust, and in music that is the apotheosis of every large-scale musical form: symphony, oratorio, mass, even opera."
+Richard Harrold that's awsome, thanks for that quote, but let me go check online bc I think he had a specific name for it. (Really enjoy the quote though)
Ryan Sanders
The Eighth is also known as the "Symphony of a Thousand", on account of the forces required to perform it!
+Richard Harrold that's awsome, I haven't heard it yet. (I was working through the Mahler symphonies, and I got like partway through the 3rd, but then I kinda put it on hold for Brahms symphonies) btw I found it and the two phrases were "world of its own" and "sound of a distance"
Ryan Sanders
Also check out Bruckner - I especially love the 7th. My local composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams (who called Mahler "a tolerable imitation of a composer"!) was nothing short of a genius - but the biggest, grandest of the lot was by an amateur from the Midlands - Havergal Brian, whose Gothic Symphony has only been performed a handful of times - makes Mahler Eight look like a string quartet.
The best thing about your music rob, is the fact your not afraid to use the whole fretboard, its amazing,. Keep doing what your doing.
This is an absolutely beautiful song. I'm glad people like you are on UA-cam and can reach out to around the world. Thank you for being an inspiration - all the way from Angola.
Guys, this riff at 2:04 and 3:46 is pure magic. So inspirational, so true, so deep, you really achieved something huge there, everytime I listen to it, immediate chills, I close my eyes, warmness all over my body, but in a really special way, it's not like it sounds good it's that it says something fucking true, masterpiece.
You guys should definitely write together more. Some serious potential here.
Also Contortionist similarities make me smile
3:24 is just too good...
i looooove the way the distortion comes in during the middle of the song!! very well done! you guys rock!
1:11 .. this god damn part sounds so fucking amazing!! I tried to pick like that on my guitar ... end up at the hostpital :(
this song completely blew my mind on how melodic it is and hypnotizing and the heavy parts made the song sound even more amazing!
I'm still listening in 2021.
same here man.
I find myself coming back to this every once in a while, really awesome song good job Rob and Pete
I really want more songs with pete!
Metal Town please!
So good man. I need to go practice now...
both of my favorite you tube guitarists playing together, AWESOMENESS!!!
Hands down one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard.
With such a great collaboration I have to ask, have you and Pete ever even met? You two seem to have a decent musical chemistry.
Re finding this is a blessing, it's like I just heard it for the first time. Amazing
I thought it needed an earth shattering solo. Waited for it, never came.
boo hoo :(
One of my all time favorite tunes you’ve written. You are an everyday inspiration for musicians everywhere. I love that you love music, not just guitar and do all the vids with new and unusual instruments
This is one of my favorite instrumentals because it creates such amazing visuals in my head, almost like I'm by the beach side, calm and mellow, followed by the craziness of high tide. Rob if you see this, please consider making a longer version of this song :)
Holy shit. Yea I didn't expect that transition into a more metal tone. This is sick
Two of my fave 8-stringers jamming together, excellent! Very skillful tremelo picking and skipping strings at the same time :)
4:14 He finally came out of the closet
Yooo the very last two seconds of the video though...
He didnt come out
beer lord someone respond to this comment please
Moody and full of texture. Nicely done, Sir.
Getting a huge Explosions in the Sky vibe from this. Love it
I can literally listen to this song forever. Great work as always Rob and Pete!!
Your progression of chords and layered melodies are incredible thank you for this 😭
This concept, taking the eight strings with clean sound, is just the coolest thing ever. You are amazing, Rob.
It is really awesome! I wish I could think up the stuff he does. But I am learning... Slowly...
So do I, well, takes some time.
Good to come back to what is still one of my very favorites.
Your such an amazing guitarist from one to another
Stay playing ! Rob Scallon
Beautiful! You and Pete make a great team.
Mr. Scallon, you won my heart many moons ago. If I had the confidence (and/or the ability) I would follow in your footsteps and go full time into my music!
still listening to this masterpiece
That awesome. You guys just blew my mind in fragments wandering in the endless universe of awesome. Keep it up and waiting for new vids
This is still one of the best videos on this website.
I can't explain waht i feel when i hear this song, it's just, man, so many things come to my mind, i think about everything, and especially, i don't know why, i think about someone who's really special for me, i don't need say her name but, is amazing who i can see in my mind and i feel in my heart all the time i lived and i will live with her, you're fucking awesome :D
This is one of my most favorite videos ever.
I'm addicted to this song. MOAR!!!
Probably one of the best things I can say about this highly impressive performance is that it doesn´t only transmits a kind of musicality difficult to find nowadays but also that it has the ability to depict images in your brain as if the chords and the notes where painting a beautiful canvas. Greetings from Spain, keep on playing.
Once I heard the clean Dj0nt in the beginning and the clean double picking polymeteric riff I knew it was gonna drop so well
The level of awesomeness in this piece cannot be measured
Thanks so much Rob, I hope youre blessed for eternity as well as anyone around you!
The best song I have heard in a while. Didn't came across some good music for a long time
This song is the most amazing thing I've heard in a long time and all i do is listen to music all day long i DJ part time I love this song it makes me feel powerful
I love that you own an extended range guitar, and that you ACTUALLY USE THE ENTIRE RANGE OF IT! Bro, seriously? Your music is killer! Keep it up! Much love and many blessings!
that is absolutely unreal! amazing job man
The end of your videos is always creative!
Rob, this is very very good, congratulations. You Rules!
This is beautiful, being so expressive with that kind of guitar...
Great videos buddy
Main riff definitely has a scale the summit feel with the double picking and everything
ahhh. this is so great! perfect amount of reverb for the tones. fucks yeah man. i really like this.
Great song,like a fusion between AAL and scale the summit,amazing job!
I will find this town, and I will live in this town for the rest of my life. PLEASE don't ever stop making music 😊
hey !!! beautiful song! and beautiful guitars, greetings from Mexico
+Rob Scallon
even though I have seen quite a few of your videos and like them, this is by far my favorite, very cool tone on the cleans
Thank you for introducing Pete!
Great song Rob! Greetings from Argentina! You're awesome!
Oh shit, they did it!!! I've been waiting for a collab. They had one already!!!
Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. *.*
More of this PLEASE, this shit has me woke asf
This song gives me the chills in the most unexplainable way. That's a good thing btw. Great job on this!
That was awesome! Big fan of progressive metal. You guys really rocked that 8-string
Very cool .. I checked out Pete Cottrell also ... ROCK ON!
\m/
Thanks for sharing the tab on ultimate. Really helps a lot.
This was so goooooooood! Must have more collaborations!
I just found your channel an hour ago, and, well, i love you.
man, this song came to my mind out of nowhere these days and i coudnt remember werer this was from, im so happy i remembered
More videos with Pete please!!
had to run to get headphones to replay to this piece of genius. Awesome works lads :)
My goodness you are talented. Well done as always!
Thanks for the tab I will enjoy drumming to this!
I could listen to this forever
I presume Animals as Leaders was a massive influence on dis song hmm? =P Sounds very pretty =)
Sounds So great I Just repeated it 6 times.💯🎸✌🎶🤘
Strong Scale The Summit influences, love it
I love this video/song it's what made me really get into you and rob! You guys rock!
Awesome song and awesome effects. Must have took you forever!
That Omen is such a great guitar for the price. Some of the best stock pickups in existence for an 8 string in my opinion.
Great work guys. Nice axes. Keep on rocking!
That glitchy electronic beat mixed with those sweet cleans was the best part. The metal riffs were cool (the transition to the distorted parts was pretty memorable), but they don't hold a candle to that wierd, Tortoise-esque beginning.
I never realized how weird Rob's picking is. He sounds great and he makes it work for him, but that index finger flailing about is pretty awesome. Awesome song by the way!
This hits so hard...in every way.
I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Hi there. I'm from Argentina and I'm here to say I never let that because you got a lot of talent and support you. hopefully you glad to know that people who do not speak your language support you although I know at least a little
Thank you very much, enjoyed this tune greatly.
astonishing
Remind me a bit of a Dream Theater song called On The Back Of Angles. Especially the intro. Very nice song!
I can't stop listening to this haha. Great Stuff as always!
I love this guy, he makes love to my ears in the most soft and romantic way possible on every video.
