    Concrete evidence of why that man was one of the four Roadrunner United "captains" (alongside Rob Flynn, Dino Cazares, and Joey Jordison) when he was around 20 years old, after two great albums in Trivium- only one of which was a RR release...ONE ALBUM. (Ascendancy) A musical virtuoso and prodigy, a songwriter that has that incredibly rare "special shine" that stands out well above the rest...he is an incredible and god-level talented musician. Also love how self-aware and constructively articulate he is too. This was a great insight video!

    • @crowz6247
      @crowz6247 5 років тому

      This is pretty much how I’ve written lyrics for the 50+ songs I’ve done. In my experience, it’s much easier to fit lyrics in once you’ve found an idea for the melody or rhythm of the vocals.
      A good idea for finding a style that fits you is to write as you’re recording, like Matt is doing here. That way you can hear when something doesn’t sound right immediately and address it, and you’re less likely to spend two hours overthinking the words, which often leads to a lack of enthusiasm or unfinished songs.
