Billy has a way of picking the most haunting semi-tones in his parts, absolute mood builders. A humble genius, in my opinion.

[Grundelforyou]

This guy is a genius. I love Tool, but Billy and Maynard are such a great combo.

[adozensparrows]

I remember when this was released (circa 2000). Who remembers Paz Lenchantin on bass?

6:46 I've _always_ thought that was THE coolest part of an already entirely cool song.
I love the subtle dissonance in that little section.
Something really menacing yet sexy about it....

[IRONROGUE]

One of the greatest songs ever, perfectly engineered, love it

[omegak]

This man is a genius, not to mention that his singing is amazing! 🙌🏼😉

[atlgrowganics]

He claims he is not being a good teacher, yet shows and explains everything in simple and understandable terms!!! Awesome!!!

Judith is one of their most beautiful songs, but for me nothing beats the riff of "The Package", so damn heavy!

[owenthomas]

Billy makes it look effortless. A brilliant artist.

[JWMCMLXXX]

I always liked that spot in the music video when the bassist ties her hair up right on beat. 

Dunno why that's so damn cool to me.

Amazing how in a single song he put so much creativity in those guitar parts. From the pedal used to increase feedback, to the alternate use of the two pickups or the very cool section when he use the tone knob or a different univibe sound...AMAZING!

[MrKarmapolice]

I love his echoey tone, there is always a melodic middle eastern vibe to his music

[The_real_JulieKelsea]

He’s an epic player and has a beautiful voice! Him and Maynard vocalize beautifully 👍🏼💚

Notice the headstock right above the nut is totally wrecked. Trent Reznor smashed it when Billy was his tech, so he glued it back on and has been using it ever since.

[metalunleashed]

The world needs to understand the genius that Billy is <3

[BENEATH_THE_SEWERS]

Unbelievable. Mer De Noms will forever be one of the best albums in the WORLD ! I still marvel at my two Mer De Noms (original) T-shirts that are brand new that I have in my collection. Billy Howerdel is one of the best artists in the world (cause he and maynard wrote it) and its also not about people, its about ART only

[brandon]

That last little riff he played at the end was the best riff I've ever heard.

[bluerose]

I learned nothing, I was too mesmerized by his playing.




Wish I could learn and play even a bit like him one day!

[avedic]

I would LOVE to see a breakdown like this of their song The Hollow.

The harmony during the chorus is just unreal. SO captivating....starting with that kinda twinkly descending motif, followed by these chiming long notes that give the whole thing an almost shoegaze tone....like if My Bloody Valentine wrote an alternative rock/metal tune....

[malcolmadams]

Billy you are a guitar players teacher. Love how he says what's played live; Versus, what's on the recording. Awesome!"
