This entire song (and album) owns, but I can't get enough of that riff at 4:32. This is why Monuments is "progressive metal," and I refuse to group them into the bag of dicks genre now referred to as "djent." Browne's a groove machine, but his compositions/riffs are so much more than just "cool sounding". He always keeps things interesting and technical by incorporating displacement, polyrhythms, syncopation, metric modulation, and other rhythmic themes.

I find that people who call a whole genre of music a "bag of dicks" more of a "bag of dicks" than the genre that they mention. I personally consider Monuments to be a mix of progressive metal *AND* djent. Other bands that I include into what I believe is a prog metal/djent mix are Periphery, Polyphia (Albeit moving into prog metal than djent nowadays), and Intervals. They all feature elements popular in both djent and progressive metal, so much so that I believe they should be considered either a mix of both genres. But hey, it's just my opinion.

Mason Stanley I get that "bag of dicks" may be a bit extreme, but it was probably just meant to just accentuate a point. Considering that most of the "genre" does consist of bandwagon hoppers that don't do very innovative work, I can't entirely disagree. Guys like Browne and Misha were doing the whole "djent" thing before it was even considered a genre, so I too find it kinda hard to categorize them with what generally includes simplistic riffs/compositions. Nonetheless, I think we can all agree that this rules.

CrazyBadCuber The description seems to simply list the standard specs for the guitars. Since John is both a Mayones and an EMG artist it makes sense for this guitar to have (or have had) EMG 57/66's in it. His newer customs have Bare Knuckles in them though, so I dunno what's going on with that.

THIS RIFF IS AWESOME!

This is in A#, right? His tone is so gutsy, it sounds lower. Sick down-picking, though. You get to times where you feel like you're getting a grip on guitar, then you watch something like this guy's down-picking and realize you have a long way to go.

I wish I could downstroke as fast as he does at 3:57 and 6:40. That shit's god damn amazing. I think that's a huge advantage of having smaller hands as a guitarist. When I palm mute my pick rests over the neck pickup and there's just so much more distance I have to move my hand to accomplish a fast down pick while palm muting.

Had the chance to talk with John after a set where they opened for Devin Townsend. Great guy. Amazing guitar player.

I like his riffs and Guitar tone! Very interesting and groovy.

This literally gave me chills.

Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I agree. John's playthroughs are always a real pleasure to watch. He looks so comfortable and in control...but the 'artistic camera' attempt killed this video for me. I actually minimized it and listened instead. Stunning guitar, great video quality, great audio quality...just lose the artistic camera fuckery, please.

John, your riffs are so trancey yet they pummel me!

I'm always amazed by his picking techniques.

He MAXED OUT the custom features on That Axe. GREAT sound, GREAT look.

I don't always take amphetamines, but when I do, I'm this guys video editor!

Stop the out of focus shait !

Lots of people are commenting on his picking technique. The things that is so weird about it is that he almost exclusively uses downpicks. Also, his wrist has a big snap to it, so it looks really cool too!

1:38 something satisfying about that 12th fret bend that slips out from under this finger. Mayo is an instrument after all.

Seeing him alternate pick is weird

I don't care about the filming. This sound of art is whats got me going!!!!

Is it just me or does this sound miles better without vocals?

Absolutely amazing Browne... you are a boss!!!!!!!! Sick guitar sick tone sick playing. Hats off to Roy Harper.

cant even tell if he has all his fingers on his pick hand cuz it moves to god damn fast. guys a machine! love it

Excellent song and guitar work! BRAVO!

the guitar probably comes when Duncans in production he probably asked for emgs in his.

Why haven't you guys mixed through any of his live playing mix? ....great way to showcase a guitar....

Mayones makes up for in their guitar making what they lack in Camera operating and video editing. Like 4:54, what's the focus there? John's chest? 5:22, nice attempt at giving us a rundown of the neck and the head, too bad it was out of focus

So why does the description say that the guitar has a Seymour Duncan Sentient/Nazgul set when the guitar that John is using has EMG's?

sooo in the description it says it comes with seymour duncan nazgul and sentient, but the one hes playing has emgs.........

It says that is a Nazgul/Sentient...doesn't it say "EMG" on the pickups? I've never seen those before though, they're passive mounts, didn't even know EMG did passive pickups.
