To be fair he was given a weird lower tuning that really would be weird in anything else

I love that they counted method man twice without realizing it and deduced that there must have actually been 10 original wu tang members

What's stunning to me is not how quickly you guys can come up with a song but how quickly you can *workshop* it. It's this constant back and forth between you and Andrew as you piece the thing together, half the time talking in shorthand. Brothers from another mother!

Rob: Bass is important. A good bass line is what makes a good song great. Also Rob: I don't have time, I'm just gonna do a simple bass line.

And sometimes a simpler bassline is important rather than making it too busy

andrew: i won’t make it easy on you rob: *NOT DIFFICULT ENOUGH*

The dynamic of this group always makes me smile. The amount of fun you all have makes the music pop.

That clean riff sounds straight up Dillinger Escape Plan to me, and I am all for it.

im just gonna come out and say it: they are on different levels musically. andrew is like autistically musical, while scallon has a gimmick he uses over and over again@@jonathanmellqvist2

I love how Andrew's just screaming the whole song through and then, at the end, he's just politely asking for a pair of mittens 🤣

just seeing how robs mind is working through the entire process is so interesting and really shows his writing process which is so cool.

the story went like this: "dude i have a cool synth the size of a room" "you're now my best friend"

That is the politest ending for such a brutal breakdown about protecting your neck in the winter

Never expected a drop of Wu Tang knowledge, but I for one am not complaining.

"How would you describe Rob Scallon's writing process?" "Very much so, yes."

"It's not a tuning anyone else has ever used." I'm sure Soundgarden did it sometime. They had THEE craziest tunings I've ever seen.

I appreciate how you really leaned into this. (Way to really accept his offer!) You have real talent as a producer, Rob. All those choices you made, improved both the tracks immeasurably! I don’t think anyone could have seen where this track (or the other one was going), but you did! And your maturity in walking away from the other track, and letting Andrew create, was amazing! Love your content and energy!

I really like the synergy between you and Andrew, him coming from electronic synthesizers and you metal guitar and the such, it makes the whole exchange very interesting and funny to watch

I love that Sonic Boom is just kinda like extra First of October lol

Rob writing songs in the same chaotic way as I do, is so inspirational

newest knocked loose single goes hard

I love how the note at the end of the Sonic Boom jingle is played on the instrument that the episode is focused on, really neat

"I don't need any practice" the most bass player thing I've heard 😂😂😂

Rob and Andrew are a seriously entertaining duo.

i'm not a regular viewer but the chemistry that ya'll share through this is hype looking for more

Have you watched the First of October stuff

Ngl that tuning is freaking awesome. Perfectly the style that I listen to lol. Just going through the notes sounds awesome

I think these are some of my favorite Andrew Huang lyrics now.

Been following Rob for years and he still makes the coolest content ever... Thank you, you're awesome

Can't wait for the covers of this.

So much fun. Love watching the awesome friendship as much as the music and creativity!

My favorite videos of you have always been with Andrew. You guys are so creative and best of all just have fun with each other

It’s so great to see Rob just work things out on his head and say OK OK we’re gonna do it this way, genius at work also- BADGER BADGER MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

Holy shit, Andrew has an amazing voice!

I love y’all so much keep making amazing videos

Musical morning show? That sounds freaking awesome. I've been playing for years and y'all give me a huge boost of inspiration.

Do y'all think you'll ever make some ""serious"" music together like no time crunch or challenge but just a true collaboration album or something would be sick

Rob, I haven’t watched your channel in a good 5+ years and to see you still kill it is just awesome never stop!

I love how the double bass is just chillin

4:31 that is the nastiest breakdown I've ever heard

1:28 That's the song that plays when the Mysterious Stranger shows up in Fallout.

Sonic Boom is so much fun, thank you for making it!

"SCAAAAARRRRRRRFFFFF!!!!" (repeat 4x)

You and Andrew make the best music content on KZread

This is the funniest stuff you guys have put out barring the October sessions- oml.

Been lovin every ep of Sonic Boom and got worried I'd missed an episode haha so hype for this show

Been watching a lot of sonic boom videos recently and I must say you two dudes are an absolute vibe keep it up 😊 🤘

This is awesome! I'm amazed at your ability to instantly play in an unusual tuning. Actually, that's one reason I study music theory myself: to eventually be able to play any guitar in any tuning with any number of strings. Thanks for the great content!

I love to play in open tunings. Not as weird as this obviously, but still quite different, like Bb Bb Db Gb Bb Db, or C F C F C F, or Db Ab Db Db Ab Db. You can make some really cool stuff out of wacky tunings sometimes.

I like open tuning that already make a full chord. But to be honest the standard tuning just brought down 3 or 4 half steps is cool. I even like going up a half step, so it's F standard. As if you have the cappo on the 1st fret but it's better in tune and you've got a couple more higher notes because there isn't a wasted fret.

Hey hey, I posted this on Andrew's channel too... I love both of your channels independently and you two are supper rad together! Thanks for keeping music making fun. Love it! And super cool to have a production team to play with they're super cool too. You're all great! This makes me think of the video Andrew posted about branding and it's limitations. I love the metal guitars added too!!! Love to see you both trying lost of different things. Please keep it up.

This has brought me so much joy, it rocked

I really would love for my brain to work like Rob's. I don't think there's an instrument, weirdly tuned guitar or otherwise, that Rob couldn't play. He just perceives music in a way that most of us can't. He's like an X-Man of music.

You guys are awesome and i love this show

Didn't think it'd turn into a badass hardcore song at the end lmao Vocals give me a very light Every Time I Die vibe.

You two are just amazing lol I love you dudes

Thanks!! I just ordered a great scarf! I live very close to you Rob, and we both know how much you have to protect your neck!

30 years later, all us 60 year olds gonna be calling out parts in songs as the badger badger part lmao

Time to enjoy more nonstandard tunings

Andrew screams "protect your neck", IRL sudden gust of wind slams my door. They're too powerful

The tone on that first breakdown was filthy, totally ripped.

This was creative genius! Lol please do an album!

y'all wild af, I love it

I never know what you all are going to come up with! I'm going to play around with both those tunings!

I had so many thing to say, but everyone else already covered it. Holy shit this was awesome to watch.

I love everything about this.

you guys are awesome.

amazing as always❤

Hey Rob, just wanted to tell you that you are a big inspiration! I bought my first guitar about a year ago (not yours sry, just got a cheap beginner model xP) and it's crazy how far I've already come in that short amount of time! Even make some of my own music now :) Well, just wanted to thank you for doing what you do

God I love how deep their eye contact is

that clean guitar riff is so sick

rob knocked it out of the park this episode more than other episodes

This may be the most ridiculous project I've seen you undertake yet....and I simply luv it!

Awesome series

This is amazing. 😂😂 I love this series.

Love the collab

I love this tuning

As a heavy metal and djent fan. That all was sounding real good to me. Got some Gojira noises going there, A man of culture 🤌

That was awesome!!!!

7:24 is the best thing ive seen in my life

*Sonic Youth has entered the chat*

That actually sounds awesome

Yet another banger!!!

FINALLY!!!! Rob making metal music again! I'm back in!

That tunning sound so creepy good

the way you leaned into that tuning. also this turned out way too fire lol

Sonic Boom on Rob's channel this week? (Partially) This is awesome!!!

Coolest tunning ever ngl there should be a band using this tunning as a charasteristic sound

Feels like October came early

I could have that song in my playlist… great cardriving music 🤟🏻

This turned out much more musical than I was expecting from the initial chords that didn't really explore the possibilities of that tuning.

This was SO fun! :)

This tuning was genuinely SO COOL

This is pretty good. All it needs is a couple of pinch harmonics here and there, and it would have been perfect.

Weird tuning always inspire me

The first clean riff he plays at 1:41 reminds me a lot of something Obscura would play lol I love it

Love the tunes, love the video. Also it's time to talk about the hair dude

This is like the weary mother on winter metal and i love it
