I didn't notice until the solo that it's an ACTUAL play-through because these guys are just playing so fucking clean.

[AshtonFitness]

The reason why I love John Browne's playthroughs is because they are actually PLAYTHROUGHS. He (and in this case Oly) actually include the raw audio direct from their guitars, rather than miming over the original song.

[joaoldmedeiros]

When the filming is as crisp as the riffs! 😍😍😍
Playthrough goals, content goals, band goals... ❤

[icarustide]

I cling pathetically to the time I was tracking guitars with John Browne and he called my downpicking "annoying tight". This is clearly the greatest thing I will ever achieve while this amazing man and his amazing bandmates continue destroying it, time and time again. Big Fell Silent love Browne, and thanks for tracking that God awful Icarus Tide EP for us ;)

[InfamouslyCantankerous]

John Browne and olly you will probably never see this but if you do I just want to say you guys are amazing and your styles are so unique it inspires me greatly and I try to think more out of the box when trying to write riffs. Thank you great video

[Nrthrn]

Awesome! Nice to hear 6-string guitar in modern and heavy metal

[VadikRamm]

Nailed! That's how it's done! Eternal respect for playing "live" guitar and not just miming over the official track!

[SleepBlackheart]

DAAAMN. Gotta love that teeth grinding and mean faces on John. You know stuff is going dooown baby!
Oly killed it with the solo!
My favourite artists. My favourite band.
*love*

[ledooni]

Browne must be the best rhythm guitar player that has ever existed. It‘s absolutely insane how easy all that downpicking looks with his technique even next to such a stellar player as Olly Steele. Just WOW! 🤯😍

[andewkltcz]

What an amazing super group.
Andrew Garfield on vocals, Lionel Messi on drums, Marc Okubo on guitar. Who will be the next?
Love ya guyz. Can't wait to see you back in Hungary to share some Unicum.❤

[KieranGiles]

Being in a room with Browne is mad... He's got a switch that he turns on and it's just frightening. I thought I was getting pretty good but he blew me away in person.

Sick man, Olly you look like you need a massage or smth after this lmao. That solo is S T R E S S F U L.

[EytschPi]

I have that guitar!!! Still can’t play like that!

[jaimgom]

Somehow I was convinced porn wasn't allowed in Youtube...

[TheCurtisification]

Mother of god!!!! Music in a formalised form has been around for centuries but ultimately riffs or tunes have been present for the history of mankind. But no one in this whole history of mankind has EVER structured riffs like John and Ollie do. What an overwhelming privilege it is to be alive to experience this creation - I am humbled beyond my own perpetual idea of self and sense of reality to be witnessing such beauty. WHAT A DAY TO BE

[zavlqaDIprabDrublsU]

I'm glad to see Olly has retained his mystical guitar playing skill even without the 'fro

[replicant]

Hey John. I usually listen to more old school stuff but your music is so good that it can be appreciated by people beyond the borders of their favourite genres. Wish you all the best, cheers mate.

[JTCGuitar]

Filth. Immense playing lads.

Needs more amps.

[thekrevolution]

Amazingly powerful performance, both of you groove well together. I come back here to watch just for inspiration .

[neuk]

I simply don't ever get tired of listen to this!
It's going to take some beating as the best metal tune of 2020.

Also the added joy of watching you two play through is amazing! The cleanliness and control is something otherworldly.
I want to get the tabs for this but I'm guessing they're in some crazy tuning?

Brilliant work.

[anemonaloco]

Just what this band needed for a long time, A GUITARIST WHO MAKE SOLOS!!!
