- Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein showing their best riffs.
1. The Path
2. N.O.D.
3. Lifer
4. Bury Me in Smoke
5. Lysergik Funeral Procession
6. The Seed
P.S. What amazed the shit out of me is that Pepper has some fucking incredible downpicking chops - almost like James Hetfield.
Love that first riff and the way Kirk plays the ascending single notes while Pepper does a slow bend. These guys come up with some great rhythm parts. Very sludgy, and yet very melodic and catchy at the same time.
the money riffs, hah.
The two best sludge metal guitar dual guitarists of all time. Down II, Bustle in your Hedgerow, hands down doesn't get any better than that. A top 5 five best metal album ever. Fuck the critics.
You’re 100%correct my friend
4:30 Kirk is alt-picking whilst Pepper is down-picking...
Sucks they don't play together anymore..2 of the best riffmeisters..
I think Kirk is coming back to Down when they reconvene.
Kirk is back with down. Love this duo.
Pepper and Kirk are such a massive tone team!
I could listen the breakdown riff of N.O.D for hours.
I remember the old lesson videos on Guitar World, it was broken up into sections and most of the time only one or two videos worked in a row...
Yeah, I never was a fan of LTD's until I saw this.
What the hell does Guitar Center use to film this shit? VHS camcorders had better resolution in '85.
Kirk pepper and Dime are my top 3 favorite guitarists. Heavy tone and groove
breakdown riff to NOD is a fucking beast! Damn these guys are fucking amazing!
B is the sound the universe is tuned to. Ain't nothin' wrong with B.
its cool how pepper is constantly looking over to kirks playing, while kirk is focused on playing, pepper still plays flawlessly. awesome. I love Down
makes a sick sound and you know thing. sounds pretty sick. it's sick. xD
What's wrong with a low B? They use baritone guitars, so they're meant to tune that low. It just sounds bad because it's not properly recorded.
i wish kirk was still in down
Me too, but I met Bobby at the Superjoint show and he's a really cool guy, and he can play all the Down stuff just as good as Kirk.
Travis Trent just listen to some crowbar, if you not already are doing... he had to focus on the heaviest band on earth
I think KIRK is rejoining Down when Down gets back together.
Not one, not two, but three recent interviews (one each from Phil, Pepper, & Kirk) have specifically mentioned Kirk and Down in the last 3 months.
He is now
@MyScaryScrotum Rarely do people refer to the actual notes on the fretboard when using different tunings. They usually refer to them as if they were playing in E Standard. It's easier that way. I do the same thing (playing in D Standard, but talking about E Standard chord and note positions).
haha Meshuggah are good in small doses but after 10 minutes it gets a bit tedious for those of us with an ear for music
I love how much pepper is smiling. they still love playing these riffs
Pepper's right hand is a machine!
kirk windstein wearing actual trousers 😲
Wish they did On March The Saints
us fans want a new down record already
Two bad ass dudes from a bad ass band.
@BokoRocks777 He actually never auditioned. James wanted him to try out, but Pepper never had any intentions to be their bassist. He came to visit James for the Superbowl that year and just watched others audition - that's why he appeared on the DVD.
Pep starts out with a wooooooooooo
Sound of the riffs only sound almost better than on the record with the band kicking in... What amps are they playing... guitar sounds amazing... great distortion but not fuzzy and noisy
1:50 what white kimbo slice? what?
"peeper" lols ...the description
@Charbok12 Not the bass player (the bass player in Down is Rex Brown from Pantera). Pepper Keenan (the guy on the right) was asked by James Hetfield to audition for bassist (you can see him in Some Kind Of Monster documentary).
@bdoginit01 James did ask him first if he could fill in for bassist. They became friends when Down opened for Metallica on one of their tours in the 90s.
@TheShredress Have you heard of bands Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar and Eyehategod? All the guys in Down are from those bands.
Such a distinctive tone
@king666nothing It was CoC who was on tour with Metallica in the 90ies, that was when Pepper and Metallica got to be friends :)
@king666nothing i tried to explain just the same thing to my girlfriend who plays keyboard but she didn't get the point lol.
I wanted to see these guys VIP in Aug. 18 but I can't cuz I'm 16 and I have to get another VIP ticket. Can you believe that? :(
Oh shit, the video's been up for 3.5 years and you just pointed it out. Thanks.
sorry I know that I just like the way how he says this one goes out to dimebag when he plays it live
@king666nothing well i know Pantera and i've heard of Corrosion of Conformity... i've just checked out some of the songs from Down and they are pretty cool =)
@TheStupidstupidman well i dont know what u have been watching but in 0:14 u can see its drop B... they might play it in c# live tho
Tone city
@TheDim2610 Я тоже русский. ))) Thin Lizzy это группа такая. А само название было взято из комиксов.
down kicks so much ass... i wouldnt say that their downpicking is close to Hetfields, no ones is tho
@MrMetalcobra
I'd say it's not over distorted, but the EMGs in that guitar definitely contribute a lot of compression to his sound. It sounds thinner and more sterile than Pepper's guitar. I have EMG's and I'm not too fond of them either. :(
Oh...now. Listening to it was enough. No need to teach it to enyone;) You rock.
How can it be devoted to him if it was released almost a decade before his death?
They are playing it in C# here. When they are doing their little chug chug thing they are doing power chords so they are not in Dropped B but in C# instead.
UNTIGHT
I was just learning NOD and lifer then this popped up on my facebook :D so glad lifer is still devoted to dimebag /:D
kirk with a ride the lightning shirt, badass as fuck
great to see a video without a bunch of technical bullshit all in it!!!
Pep is one of my favorite all time guitarists and this here is why!
2:30 is the best guitar player conversation of all time
I cannot fucking believe that!!! LOL
God i love the crunch off them ESP's! And it's good to see they enjoy irish traditional music haha i am irish by the way. Thank's for the upload king666nothing.
@MrMetalcobra For some reason I just love their tone in this video.
Let me guess: you're 13 years old, aren't you?
Kirk's guitar is fucking sweet as hell!!!
DOWN FUCKING RULES!! \m/ Crazy ass riffs!
downfan1 much rather have Peppers
cant believe i never seen this video before, nice one!!
@TheDim2610 Thin Lizzy в данном контексте это группа из Ирландии.
didnt the bass player audition for metallica?
Kirk's guitar sounds way lower than Peppers
what happened to the stone the crow lesson ??
Well yeah, but look at Pepper's right hand during some fast riffs. He's downpicking some fast shit while Kirk is alternate picking the same riffs.
Kirk had probably already had a few drinks in him by then. Lol
Dig it, but not as cool as COC...
...and the gods wept over the sheer beauty of it
carcass are on B and the guitars sound great
Oh, ok.
These guys are the best out
Tell that to the Meshuggah guys :)
Very nice !
they sound perfect together :)
Best lesson ever.
he's 12 and a half... lol
Love stone the crow
\m/ shit! \m/
5:05 syncro-fap :D
im a producer and i find lower than c is sonically too muddy but its just my view
Should check out the Randall satan amp, along with lots of others for low tunings
The best.
how come i never heard of these guys? great riffs, great shirts and ESP guitars, im gonna check 'em out ^^
DevilColtSolid 8!years later are you a fan now?
ahuh
they DO play together....Myrtle Beach SC last month.....
+buzzbombist he meant that Kirk and Pepper dont play Down together anymore as Kirk quit.
+buzzbombist sorry for confusion..Down is my favorite band along with coc...Saw them 2 times this year Bobby does a great job....The good part is we get new crowbar..
what t-shirt Pepper wears?
RiCkYHaZe8 Led Zeppelin
man, peppers tone is awesome. kirks not so much....
Pepper and woody are better...
Thats true. Kirk is good but woody has that unique and crazy vibrato
When he talks about the F and the B he talks like he is in standard 440 as opposed to C#.
