@@gixxusmetalman7435 music lessons and lots of fucking hard work and talent that's more why. They'd sound good playing an entry level squier. But yes a proper les paul doesn't hurt either
Not only that... it's live. Yeah they could do some stuff behind the scenes but any missed notes, it's all on camera, it doesn't pan anywhere, it's not edited to pieces. That's what really makes this nuts.
i am 55y old. i have seen and hear all kinds of metal, hard rock, rock, and others since the start of them. i play guitar since i was 14. i can say that these guys are 2 of the best guitarist i ve ever heard. i think they can play any style of any known guitarist on this planet!
Saw them open for Sebastian Bach in Jacksonville at the river walk with my daughter. We went outside between bands and couldn't hear anything bit ringing. They kicked major ass. S.B. was a slight disappointment after.😁
Besides the fact that these two guys just shred the shit out of the fretboard...what I find just as amazing is their LIGHTNING FAST ability to switch back and forth between the rhythm and treble toggle!!! Damn!! Great job guys!!
That's probably the LESS IS MORE brigade out there, as they were simply appalled at the obscene display of guitar wankery here. Me, I just loved it. My fav of all 3 STYD volumes.
I agree, these dudes have not even been born when glam rock was on the surface. Why try to keep the theater on. I understand Michael Monroe that he has left the style on, he has lived that era. Right now to the barber...playing skills does not change.
mekkemusic finally some cute glam boy / girls to jerk off too huh ! Those old POISON mags are getting sticky and motley Crüe aren’t as cute as they used to be . Finally a deposit into the spark bank brother ! I’m with ya
Unfortunately, as kick-ass as these guys are, they won't be selling out arenas and have platinum albums and top 40 FM radio singles like a lot of hard rock / metal bands had back in the 80's. Granted, they're a nice and refreshing throwback to a bygone era, but this is as good as it will ever get. Just enjoy it for what it is, because they won't achieve household name status.
Oops, "keep up", oh well... 😭😭😭😪😪😢😢 such a huge loss, have u listened to their new singles? The 1st is nice, the 2nd not so much, and it's SUPER different from old Santa Cruz, cause only Archie stayed, SO SAD BIGGEST MUSIC LOSS EVER
Yeah lots of recycled 80’s licks in there. Lots of Nuno as well. If that’s what people want to hear shit yeah I’ll pull my pink Ibanez out of storage 🤘🤘🤘
I saw them in 2016 headed Sebastian Bach at Mavericks in Jacksonville. They were awesome. They were originally on a show in vh1 called breaking bands. UA-cam it . It was a good show.
I literally watch this EVERY time I see it. Then I go grab my Les Paul like I'ma shred like these dudes then I get depressed when I find out really quick that I can't...
Yeah.... this is just ridiculous. I have watched that second solo a lot of times now. Too many times if there was such a thing. I give this the True Metal stamp of approval. Outstanding playing from the both of you.
i can pretty much play the first part of the riff and licks from listening to it. but yeah im not even gonna try the solo part XD this is so good 2:32 i cant sweep pick for shit
Both guys are incredibly awesome! That second solo is so amazingly bad to the bone. The first is almost as fantastic. Guitar World wake up! These guys need a cover story.
@@stratomiesniinsaatanasti5250 Not new to paying but was trying to make a funny slapstick remark! It is indeed an insane bend and it could hurt if you were new to playing ha ha
Same but try the downward pick slanting approach both of these players use it. Its really helped my shit picking technique wish I knew about how bad my RH technique was back then.
Man that was awesome! I was cruising for some new music, and I might have just found it. LOVE the Les Pauls, great guitar music is on the rise again! way to go guys.
I think they (Johnny, Tazz and Middy) had some problems wiith Archie, they decided to leave the band just in the middle of a tour so I think it was kinda serious...
People that dont play guitar cant understand the genius of these two, they are the 0.00001% of players that can do this, its like a master of a violine but taken to another level, someone that can riff and change tempos mid flight. It take discipline of a pro athlete to achieve this and it breaks my heart that the space for these musicians every year is getting smaller
If you’ve got a song called shred till you drop It’s gonna have to be an, “In your face”, nasty piece of work. This did not disappoint. It’s spoke to my 80s soul.
Wow you guys. Seriously amazing together. I am so appreciative of what you guys and your band is doing. And old school vibe with your own creative styles.. outstanding dudes.. keep this up. Bravo.
There's always repetitive licks and influence of other guitar players but the thing is that some guitar players just play them so good they own the lick
I'm impressed... A guitar shredder of 30 years my self... Great talents, but I see a WHOLE lot of Yngwie, Reb Beach, and Slash in this composition... They love Arpeggios sweeping ascending/descending type... rock-on.. Peace JLG...
Yeah it is. But every lick by every rock guitarist is a lick by several others. Or 95% at least. Call it being influenced, as long as you aren't directly copying, it's just how it works
Can't stop watching this, it always makes me laugh...in a good way! Just as impressive as their playing is the speed in the use of the toggle switch, particularly in the first solo.
As a deathcore guitarist myself . I will say this fucking rocks. I fucking love it . Love the name btw, I dont know if the name was inspired by the skateboard company of the same name . Even so, these guys can shred.
These guys just stepped out of a delorian from 1985 , talent intact.
Less paul, o ya,,,killer tone, Santa Cruz nailing it to the wall o-ya !!!!
Delorean
😂😂😂 damn, so right
Run back fools!
You mean Lambo...
I've honestly lost track of the number of times Ive watched this. ....and here I am again !
me too man. I saved this one and keep coming back to it over and over again. at LEAST once a week
its here I go again...sir!
Same lol..even 11 years later..I can play this note for note but this one off was so fire 🔥
RESPECT to these dudes for their EXTREME, OFF THE DAMN CHARTS TALENT and their 80's style attire.
I've never heard of them, but damn. Skill. Have you heard of Steel Panther? If not, check them out. 80s look and sound. Talented, but funny as hell.
Are they in Santa Cruz California?
@@phasetripper9567 nah Finland
What I'm most impressed with is besides the mind blowing tapping, shred,...etc is the clarity and accuracy.
Gibson les Paul thats why
@@gixxusmetalman7435 music lessons and lots of fucking hard work and talent that's more why. They'd sound good playing an entry level squier. But yes a proper les paul doesn't hurt either
No you can do this on a cheap ass guitar. Tone and skill is in the hands.@@gixxusmetalman7435

I have watched this over 100 times. This is guitar perfection!
Esse video é "antigo" e até hoje me impressiono. Absurdo mesmo.
Volta e meia eu volto pra assistir.
Freaking love the '80s
Hair bands, hot chicks and heavy metal.
How in the hell could anyone not like this
That's probably the LESS IS MORE brigade out there, as they were simply appalled at the obscene display of guitar wankery here. Me, I just loved it. My fav of all 3 STYD volumes.
Obviously super talented but also super creative and not just robotic shredding!! Those solos were freakin sick and melodic
This is exactly how guitar should be played !!! Way to go !!!
I miss this duo and this Santa Cruz era so much
Drop D😮😮😊
Finally, finally actual badass 80s style talent and the looks to match.
You just got a fan
Dyed hair, glam outfit and real talent making its way back into music...history always repeats itself, this time for the better! It was about time
I agree, these dudes have not even been born when glam rock was on the surface.
Why try to keep the theater on. I understand Michael Monroe that he has left the style on,
he has lived that era.
Right now to the barber...playing skills does not change.
Nah dud, good things never repeat

Hey it HAD to start somewhere"..IM JUST GLAD ITS BACK!".. sorry this is my dog's page I'm just lovin the music right now" have a great one!✌

I've been playing guitar for 40 years and this the sickest shit I have EVER HEARD!!!!I'll never play again.....
80's called and said you brought real music into our Robtic age! Keep it up

Tocam muito. 🤘🤘
Wow I was just reminded of this comment:) happy to rewatch to the song again
2:19 Paul Gilbert's string skipping exercise!
Yeah lots of recycled 80’s licks in there. Lots of Nuno as well. If that’s what people want to hear shit yeah I’ll pull my pink Ibanez out of storage 🤘🤘🤘
Do it
Are these guys from the 80s or is this really happening in 2020? If so I am very happy to see this. Insane playing. My Les
Paul is calling.
I saw them in 2016 headed Sebastian Bach at Mavericks in Jacksonville. They were awesome. They were originally on a show in vh1 called breaking bands. UA-cam it . It was a good show.
Imagine that it was common to see these guys playing in a small club in Finland. Before covid, obviously.
That 59 Les paul's tone blowed my mind,
Thanks for keeping 80's alive men!! I'll have some more beer... cheers!
not anymore. their U2 Octung Baby now....lol
Сколько раз пересматриваю, столько раз сожалею что распалась такая замечательная группа!!!!
Veeeery nice! Shredlicious 🎸🤯 Love it!
This video is what made me start playing guitar, no kidding. It’s nostalgic rewatching it.
PLEASE Record this for your next album, would be a kick-ass bonus track!! Sounds F*ING AWESOME!!!!!
I literally watch this EVERY time I see it. Then I go grab my Les Paul like I'ma shred like these dudes then I get depressed when I find out really quick that I can't...
That's why I put my les paul in drop D and just groove it out, it's excellent for that.
@Frank Masuzzo Then I hope my mayones doesn't complain to the abuse hotline 😅
OMG this was AWESOME.
You can just tell that still almost 50 years later it still blows peoples mines
Johnny is great with his playing styles. What he playing is so feel and rough that sound so deep hell.
Yeah.... this is just ridiculous. I have watched that second solo a lot of times now. Too many times if there was such a thing. I give this the True Metal stamp of approval. Outstanding playing from the both of you.
my face just melted.
Shreddy, melodic and groovy; everything I like. Love it !
The people who disliked this couldn’t find the tabs
I just pised myself laughing. And it was worth it! These guys can rip!
@Tommy Bangacuci gtfo
😂
i can pretty much play the first part of the riff and licks from listening to it. but yeah im not even gonna try the solo part XD
this is so good 2:32 i cant sweep pick for shit
@@Peron1-MC same bro :D
Amazing! The Alexi Laiho influence is strong :D
right?
Archie was in a band with Alexi called “The Local Band” check’em out.
Both guys are incredibly awesome! That second solo is so amazingly bad to the bone. The first is almost as fantastic. Guitar World wake up! These guys need a cover story.
The tone of that second one wow!
Yes the second solo was also much harder to play.
Johnny you must come back!
We need more music like this nowadays!!!
Freaking love it and I'm almost 60 so happy to see this genre still living and breathing in young fine gentleman like you guys
These guys kick ass! That bend at 2:15!!
Makes my fingers bleed watching it
@@dougliolloool9309 how?!? Then you must be new to playing

@@dougliolloool9309 sure it could... but i think those guys are using only 10's
@@raddydydy i don't
This is just ridiculous.... Pure awesome talent.... Beats this modern playing style.
We need more of this stuff!! Shred Till You Drop 2, please?
It takes a guitarist to fully understand just how impressive this is. And all in one take.
Mind blowing! I've been playing for 30 years, and if I play for another 30 years I'll never be able to shred like this.
Same but try the downward pick slanting approach both of these players use it. Its really helped my shit picking technique wish I knew about how bad my RH technique was back then.
@@richardofsoski7446 I'm surprised none of those dumbfucks called this as fake? Lol. This is so clean.
Depends how many hrs you practice during those 30 yrs.
johnny parkkonen (the left one) play guitar 12 hrs a day since he was 11/13 (i forgot), and he didnt go to school he just play guitar.
First time seeing this, it’s awesome these guys both burn.
Man that was awesome! I was cruising for some new music, and I might have just found it. LOVE the Les Pauls, great guitar music is on the rise again! way to go guys.
I Love it . 1 of the Best Guitar Performances of all Time . I watched it unlimited Times and still watch it . This is Real Music and Rock and shred.
DAMN! That was KILLER! Would love to see more.
These guys are great best stuff I’ve hear in a long time
Thank you guys for taking me back to time when I was in your age, when many bands had both- good music and cool image ! KEEP ROCKING🤘☠️
I listen to this track once a day for the past few months since I first heard it. Still not sick of it by a long shot
I'm most impressed by the speed of the blonde guy's mic switching!
Hell yea!! This kind of guitar playing is a lost art in rock and metal these days.
This was my hangover cure for the day :)
I still continue to watch these dudes jam TF OUT!!
Fucking unbelievably kick ass. The world needs more of this. Wish I heard of these guys a long time ago.
Love it...Gibson guys!!! No Fenders..no tremolo bars...just skill! Hell to the YEAH!!
Johnny solo blew my mind
Yeah, it's a shame they split up.
Dennis Karlsson Youre kidding right? What the hell happened?
I think they (Johnny, Tazz and Middy) had some problems wiith Archie, they decided to leave the band just in the middle of a tour so I think it was kinda serious...
Really,Great Guitarist
@@Sharknezz Probably a good thing, sounds like he is the real talent of the two. Some sick slick playing from the second half on out.
These guys are next level awesome. Finland is where the best is coming from. Thanks guys for keeping the 80s torch burning!! I miss it sooo much.
This is the sickest video on UA-cam, these dudes are on fire!! 🔥😎🎸
These guys are incredible, how have I never heard of them before?

I listen to this weekly... at minimum monthly. So sick.
Absolutely love the old school vibe.... outstanding performace and great tune guys.. highly impressive. Hope to hear more of this in the future.
They broke up....
ive been watched this maybe 40 times since 2019, and this always remind me that i suck at guitar
Stick to it dawg. You'll get it eventually 😎
@@A_LoadedPotato_ yeahh, actually every time i watch this video, i instantly want to practice for 4 hrs lol
Wow you guys. Seriously amazing together. I am so appreciative of what you guys and your band is doing. And old school vibe with your own creative styles.. outstanding dudes.. keep this up. Bravo.
They broke up long time ago
Una Gran banda, lastima que en una época donde predomina otro cosa... que no se pierda nunca este Rock!!
Archie & Johnnie are GUITAR GODS. This skill level takes nothing but every single second you live and breathe. And then some
their sound is mindblowing and also love johns guitar
They should develop this into a full length song! Totally badass from beginning to end! :D
those are some licks from different shredders, nothing really original
@@brotherfiretribe9566 not all of them are licks from diffrent shredders... maybe a couple
I couldn’t stop watching once it had started
1:34 Its actually part of a lick of the solo in Get The Funk Out by Extreme played by Nuno Bettencourt. But pretty awesome tho.
Def! You got it.
There's always repetitive licks and influence of other guitar players but the thing is that some guitar players just play them so good they own the lick
I'm impressed... A guitar shredder of 30 years my self... Great talents, but I see a WHOLE lot of Yngwie, Reb Beach, and Slash in this composition... They love Arpeggios sweeping ascending/descending type... rock-on.. Peace JLG...
from 2:05 to the end of the solo... un-fucking believable...
I had to stop the video to throw my guitar out of the window and then continue watching
Kkkk
😂😭😭
🤣💨
no. Don't. That's the worse thing you can do.
Please upload this to spotify, it's just perfect
Christ. That gave me the chills. \m/
Pushing all the right buttons there, my friends! Keep it up!
Anyone who disliked this please stop stealing oxygen
HOLY SHIT!!!!! And they say there are no more emerging guitar gods.......i was not expecting that. amazing players, who the hell are these guys????
Long hair + white sleeveless tee + ripped jeans + burst les paul = Cool
It's so rad they're still making these guys.
1:32 is inspired by Nuno Bettencourt in his solo from Get the Funk Out by Extreme. Cool tune guys
Perfect blend of arpeggios and pentatonic licks....Outstanding beautiful work 👏 👌 👍
1:33 Get The Funk Out arpeggio/sweeps
Def! You got it!
Yeah it is. But every lick by every rock guitarist is a lick by several others. Or 95% at least. Call it being influenced, as long as you aren't directly copying, it's just how it works
Can't stop watching this, it always makes me laugh...in a good way! Just as impressive as their playing is the speed in the use of the toggle switch, particularly in the first solo.
2:33 Jason Becker approves :D
ayeapprove instantly thought of Becker when I heard that part
sweeps were the easiest licks there
Not Jason, Nuno Betancourt
Dude i'm legit blown away. It kept getting better and better. Incredible!
Man, those were the days....
Amazing!! Glad you guys are keep that kind of music alive. Great work.
Rest in peace Santa Cruz....
Guns N' Roses on mun lempi bändi! \mm/
Holy shit this is like the best playing I've ever seen in the 2010's
The real name is "we will make you disgusted with guitar" ahah, love u guys
The 80s is still alive and kicking
Holy shit these guys are good
This never gets old ,pure class ,this is the bollocks.
As a deathcore guitarist myself . I will say this fucking rocks. I fucking love it . Love the name btw, I dont know if the name was inspired by the skateboard company of the same name . Even so, these guys can shred.
superb guys definitely killed the solo and got the 80s taste spot on
OMG so talented 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
99% hard work, 1% talent. Although, without that 1% talent, don't bother
My friend Susan brought me here!! Hell yeahhh!!!
I neet tab for that riff in intro... Thats amazing :O
