I love Mike’s writing and playing, dude is totally capable of total shreddage and complex proggy riffs but chooses riffs that complement the vibe and song. Excellent showcase of cleanliness and control if you ask me.
This also goes to show Courtney's vocals also play a huge part in the band. At least for me. Not undermining Mike's riffs at all because he's probably my favorite modern metalcore guitarist. Alot of the modern metalcore stuff just doesn't do it for me but I LOVE Spiritbox.
With Mike and Josh from Northlane on the roster all Jackson needs is Jesse from ERRA and they’ll have all the proggy metalcore heads eating out of their hands lol (either that or give Clint Tustin a signature since he’s already with Jackson)
no its not what guitar playing is now. its what Mike chooses to play. Some of his riffs are incredibly hard...some are really easy. Who are we to tell someone else what he does right or wrong?
@@Relentless_lel Hard - Easy - it sounds like garbage 🤷♂️ It has to be simple to a point so the dismally minded demographic can understand it. We're not talking Tchaikovsky or Satriani here.
@karendoe6525 Being a fan does not qualify anyone to the tell artist what he/she does correct/incorrect. youre more then welcome to enjoy the art and youre free to not be a fan anymore if you dont like the art. but thats about it. i wish more ppl would respect those boundaries. take Architects for example. I get why a lot of people dont like the new direction (me included) but i'm disgusted by all those comments towards them like "Tom would roll in his grave" etc. hope that makes sense...have a nice day :)
Looks like a seven string . I remember when those first came out . Are you guys ever going to have the burning witches on here or will the men be upset that theirs a pregnant woman that can do burning solos better than them . 2023 & people get upset when they get beat by a woman
💙💙💙
You guys killed it at the Roseland in Portland earlier this year, and brought it back to life at Sick New World!
Did anyone else expect “Yellowjacket” to start up immediately after this ended? 😅

I have a feeling he writes the riffs first and the song comes later
One of my favorite soundscapes in all of their discography. Those scrapes are awesome.
Spiritbox is a great band!
Can we talk about this perfecto jacket ? 🔥
His playing is so fresh.
Patiently waiting for that signature.......we know it's coming
😊😊😊😊😊😐🫢😚
Beautiful guitar & cool Riff🤘🤘🤘
Dvm
What a cool guy 💜
That guitar tone is fuggin gnarly!
Jackson you should put an Evertune or bridge on the Misha Mansoor pro series on a Kelly that would look dope.
I love this new soloist body 🤘🏽
That’s the DK Pro
Super-slick pitch-shifting for only two bars in the chorus....gotta love it🤣🤣🤣
MY BOY
1:53 that one dropped note here sounds so cool lol but does the bass have to use a pitch shifter too?
No it would be too muddy
i love this!!!
Nice! I see a new signature guitar in the near future 😉 great addition to the Jackson roster. Mike is a fantastic player🔥🔥

Holy fuck this is what I NEEDED
This is fantastic 🎉I would love to hear Mike collaborate with Mark Holcomb at some point, both have such an ambient sound.
Mikes bouncy riffs with Mark's "paid for every fret so I'm gonna use it" riffs would be a match made in heaven
This is amazing
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its cool that the breakdown is just a variation of the main riff. Never noticed that!
Ik their custom shop is cooking something up for Mike. They just have to at this point!!!
How can i get that delay?
fucking love his tone so much
Make this man a 9-string so we can get a Rotoscope playthrough.
Mike Stringer Signature please
Signature Jackson when? 👀

I agree. Spiritbox being the exception, but a good portion of modern Metalcore sounds way too similar.

What pickups does Mike use?!
Forget that, what pickup LINES does he use!?
Fishman fluence moderns
Cool to see what he plays during the verse…I never noticed those clean parts. This song’s a lot harder than it sounds lol

While I agree, Jesse is diehard Ibanez. I don't see him parting with his beloved RGs
What model is this?
So he with Jackson now foreal??? 😲
yep
@@TheSlenderBassist yep !
Legal
Batida linda 😅😅😅
Yo Wtf ????
No pick? Tough fingers
So the bass carries the band basically
This is what guitar playing is now?
Must've had the wrong heros.

what is bro yapping about
@@shibes947 i don't know lol
Not very creative writing. Very amateur.
Clown
Simple but catchy is the hardest thing to do, especially as a guitarist.
Laughs in beauty of suffering
This entire album is the most creative metal I’ve ever heard.
Ain't no fuckin way you playing it like he did though. Shit slaps, he's a wizard
