To think Josh Travis went from Danza, To Glass Cloud & now Emmure.
Amazing how this guy manages to jump from three bands in just ten years.
But this dude is super talented. One of the best djent players ever honestly.

Before you bash his playing, check out the amp at 3:16.

50 Djent has the most bizarre tuning I've ever seen. 

[drphalanges]

Josh is the king of brutal, dissonant heaviness. You really have to hear it in the context of the rest of the band.

[Heebiejeebz]

They seriously couldn't find a better amp for him to use? 

[Erock]

"nothing too gnarly... 30 inch scale" Hahaha righteo djent

Unfortunately his skill really isn't demonstrated well here. Josh is actually a pretty good tech metal guitarist, but the fact that he plays large chords at such a low tuning means that most cameras aren't going to pick up the tone of his instrument well. Listen to Glass Cloud's professionally-recorded work, he's much cleaner and you can actually hear him on the records.

[CarroTP]

His tracking for Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza blows this out of the water.

[prestonschrader]

I don't get the hate here. His tone is shit here because of a 10w Ibanez amp, listen to any of his stuff and you will know he's a very impressive guitarist. 

Also his style plays on dissonance and groove, some like it some don't. 

[sunnaki]

The fact that they gave this poor man a 15-watt practice amp to demonstrate the tone of a 9-string guitar in this video will always hurt me.

[thelordofdarkcheese]

Why have him play through such a shit amp?

[kel_]

The lack of musical appreciation in the comment section is sad

[lmMotion]

How the fuck did he come up with a tuning like that?

[PapaBruno]

Saw them last night for the first time at the Metro in Oakland. I was super impressed! Dude absolutely shreds on guitar and seems like a really cool guy based on his stage presence alone. :)

[drakewarner]

I’m sad I didn’t discover The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza before they split. Easily one of my favorite metal bands partially due to Josh’s insane skill

[YouLikeBosch]

"Just remember, you want to tune A to Z, and then Zflat."

[xxXthekevXxx]

Very interesting, experimental, and creative stuff going on with this guy's guitar. I like it.

[everlot]

no comments about those dope ass custom glass cloud ebony wood plugs?!?!

[Ua-zrog]

I love when he says “There’s nothing to knarly about it really”, when literally everything about the guitar is knarly 😂.

[nicholasmahoney]

That shitty amp and camera audio is doing his playing no justice.
