The intended lesson: failure is the greatest teacher
My takeaway: if Matt Heafy likes your music he will give you a free guitar
Great bloke...
One of my idols!
I was born a day after him, we are exactly the same star and moon sign, and I had a dream I was engaged to him last night out of nowhere. I have a partner though haha :')
Kenti Wilson awee 😭
Drop the astrology. Its really not healthy. You will be a happier person and life will be simpler.
Kids used to give me shit for eating salmon too!
cant see most of the slides!
A very articulate, humble and intelligent guy.
Definitely
He is not humble in real life
The most articulate rockstar ever. He would have succeeded in life even if he didn't play music
@@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter You've never been to a Trivium show have you?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This is so weird. As a late comer to Trivium, really just getting into them last year (2019) I find it insane that people hated them as much as he's describing. I'm so glad they pushed through. Their music is so ridiculously good.
man, you cant even imagine... when they opened the first time for iron maiden people where booing the whole show... so sad back then. but im 100% with you, fortunatley they prevailed because quality lasts.
I saw Trivium once when they were opening for Asking Alexandria (which was ridiculous - Trivium should've been headlining), and during their set, Matt stopped the show to call out some dudes who were acting all macho and trying to destroy everyone in the pit. It was awesome. After that, I had a lot of respect for him, and now, after this video, I have even more. This was pretty inspiring.
agreed, Asking Alexandria shouldve been opening for them. I like both bands, but trivium is so established in the metalcore world that it feels weird to see them open for a band that is less established (even though asking is very popular and established as it is)
Trivium opened for Asking Alexandria? WTF
Matt did the same thing at the show we just went to in tampa! Check it out, its on my channel. Show was amazing. But yeah matt has alot of my respect, he's a really great guy
DebtLife Projects I saw them in NY and some girl hit her head while crowd surfing and Matt while soloing got down on one knee asked if she was okay. Finished the song and told everyone he loved the surfing and moshing but to take care of each other and gave the girl some water. Guys a classy dude
Was it rockstar mayhem tour like 5 years ago? Lol
I've always respected Trivium and have known for years that Matt does not carry that arrogance and ego on his shoulders. I don't know why in the beginning of the social net era that it was so trendy to hate Trivium other than he could kick your ass at solos in a time where it was cool to eliminate shredding solos into your song. Sad they had to live a tainted life, however the 'what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger' saying is quite valid.
Forget the solos. Matt Heafy could kick your ass in general lol. He's got no ego problems because he's been training in martial arts since he was a child. The primary aspect of martial arts is not fighting. It's discipline.
You do some of the best guitar lessons on TH-cam
R.I.P man...
This is why I love Matt Heafy ! Very funny man, Smart, and very good musician !
Completely agree. He's an amazing person first, amazing band member second. He's right up there with Geoff Rickly and Davey Havok as my idols. Thank you for being so amazing, Matt Keiichi Heafy.
@@jon.e He seems to be a good dad, now 😄
But in all seriousness...................
No one eats til Matt Heafy eats
I like Matt as a person and as a musician. He seems to be very humble and nice to have a talking with! Respect!
i can listen to him speak for hours
What a voice gawd perfeect
Go to his twitch lol
Meeeee toooo!! 💯💯💯💯
I don't care what people say about Trivium I think they are one of the greatest metal bands of the 21st century. Matt Heafy is my idol not just as a musical genius but as a person as well sadly I only saw them twice. I saw them when the co-headlined with Devildriver. it was an amazing show it was my first metal show to be exact. the second was on mayhem again amazing show. Trivium is an amazing band my absolute favorite band next to Slipknot and KoRn
No doubt, man, totally agree
It's really hard to find a true metal band these days out there but Trivium is one of the best bands of the 21st century for sure
damn right
One of my favs too besides avenged sevenfold
I must say that you are lucky aff..
I havent seem them live but I FUCKING WILL I SWEAR
TheWalkinGeek my girlfriend being the great woman she is, got us meet and greet passes for their show in Knoxville this year. They put on a badass show. Hoping to see them again this year.
Matt is such an inspiring guy, he's one of my main influences to play guitar and make music !
If you listen through the speech, you can pick out some songs based on that point. Build to Fall, Ember to Inferno, etc...
Trivium is the first band I ever saw live. It was like slow motion when they started playing... the feeling was amazing. I was so excited and they played just about every song I had hoped they would. Matt is such an awesome and inspiring dude. I wish I was half as self-disciplined and structured as him. Really happy for him and all of his success.
Trivium was your first show? Well damn. You definitely started off with the right foot. :D
Idolatry is not good
Matt is a huge influence for me both musically and as a person.
Love him
This was so awesome! been a fan since 2006 and seen all the ups and downs the band been through throughout the years, been to quite a few shows and had many debates with friends, and reading all the trash talking online back in 07-08, but I gotta tell you no matter what happens and how bad things get with their music (if it does) they still in my opinion made one of the best Metal records of all time.. Fucking SHOGUN!! So I will always love Trivium! Matt keep spinning those wheels of yours till they fucking fall off! you got lots more to show, I will be listening & watching \m/
I have to agree I liked In Waves but don't really like their Djenty direction on Vengeance Falls, but I have to say the Shogun is pretty much second to none out of the hundreds of metal albums I've listened to. Because of that album I'll continue to support and follow whatever they do so that they can surprise me.
*****
Djenty on Vengeance Falls? Really? All I heard on Vengeance Falls was Groove driven Heavy Metal :P The second Trivium purposely go djent will I stop listening to them lol
Cr4nium13 Songs like Brave this Storm, Vengeance Falls, To Believe, and Villainy Thrives have very djenty riffs. All of those songs sound very similar as well. I would've preferred more songs like Incineration (sounds like a nice progression from Shogun). The songs sounded too chuggy to be groove metal. Groove also usually sounds more like thrash metal. There's actually a video on youtube called "This is Groove Metal" which I think sums up the sound pretty well. They were more groovy on Shogun in my opinion.
***** They are not djent..
*****
I understand that, but there's a clear difference between chugging open notes and playing in drop Q then what they did on VF lol
Matt seems like one of the most approachable artists I've seen... Most musician's at a certain level come across cocky or snobby but he's down to earth and can admit when he's wrong. Love he gave some love to Aerosmith.... First band I ever really got into and inspired me to pick up guitar. Prolly 3rd or 4th time hearing this and it always resonates and encourages. Big thanks!
I wish I could get the audio to this. This is something I would listen too all the time to help drive myself through life. Very inspirational to hear that fear and let downs are actually common among everyone, even the people you look up too. Matt is my hero, and not just because of his music, but because of the person he is. Thank you Matt, and also to the rest of the band for inspiring me so much in my life. ( if he sees this)
try youtube downloaders and convert it to mp3
dont know if any free service servers can handle the traffic though
Idolatry is not good, just fyi.
Holy shit 21:05. That was the mag my step dad got me to have something to read when we were driving back from Montana and I read about trivium and looked them up on TH-cam. Been a huge fan ever since
The most humble,down to earth guy! In the metal community. Glad I’ve meet him in person a couple of years ago, and chatted with him for half an hour like with the confidence like we were old friends
Matt is my hero. Really, this video makes me feel better. Always. I watch this every time I feel like shit. So inspirational. Thank you so much Matt, Trivium. One of my favorites bands ever. And Matt, one of the most incredible, cool and amazing people. I hope someday I could go to see Trivium live. Greets from Mexico.
Vienen a Domination bro. Ahora vamos a verlos.
A very cool and humble guy, one of my few idols that's actually younger than me, which feels strange in a way. Historically, people you look up to and respect should be way older than you, or at least that's how it feels. Thanks for all the music Matt and Trivium. Respect.
Kwaka Pants IMO respect should be earned by your deeds. Not by growing old. But I totally understand why you think that way.
If I remember correctly from an old interview with Matt, it was Dave Mustaine who made the comment about the bands first album. I think in more recent interviews Dave has said that he likes Trivium, when asked what newer bands does he like.
TheMeJustMe75 that pretty much sounds like Dave, he’s got no filter and just says it, but that’s why we love him too
Heafy would have to be, hands down my BIGGEST inspiration for music and life in general. Keep up the amazing work Matt.
Funny caught trivium and Matt at an asian grocery store before one of their shows in Toronto at sound academy. Totally fan boyed and looked like an idiot. But their show was unreal and even got a quick meet and great. Great moment awesome people
Matt Heafy is undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians on the planet. His humility and intelligence portray him as a greater personality, greater than the social media and on-the-stage image. I've always looked up to him as I wanted to upgrade my guitar skills and vocal technique, and I couldn't emulate anyone better than Matt! In addition to his crazy musical talent, he involves himself in cooking and martial arts, and the best part, as he quotes, is that he loves challenging himself.
I hope that the pandemic situation ends soon and I get to see Trivium.
Lots of love and respect to Matthew Kiichi Heafy! \m/
I spent the first 28 years of my life in Orlando and hated it, the scene had always been so damn hip hop. I like hip hop, but I am 1st and foremost a metal head. Moved to Seattle in 08. And now, December of 2017, I find the lead of one of my all time favorite bands lived in Orlando.. I am at a loss for words lol
When I think of orlando, I think of pop punk bands and a good hardcore scene. Sucks that turns out hip hop is the majority scene there as well 🙄
Great public speaker. A gentleman you'd love to have dinner with and talk over a good bottle of red!
You see trivium perform and you watch their music videos but until you see something like this, you never really believe that they are just people like us. This dude is awesome.
Super annoying that sometimes we don't see the pictures Matt is talking about. Great video otherwise!
13:28 was used in the Silence in the Snow video :O
Casey VanPolen was about to comment that, pretty cool that they left a nod to the picture in the video
Apparently the song was written back in 2007
@@dansands6363 not apparently, Matt said it was a song for Shogun but they scraped it, everyone in the record label said it was a great song and they should use this song
Awesome, this was really interesting and inspiring. Heafy is a really confident, collected, disciplined guy.
Great shirt...
Haha j'allais poster la vidéo sur votre mur facebook!
Vengenance Falls is epic for me.
I’m pretty sure the band who told Matt Trivium are “nothing special” was In Flames. But the thing is… Trivium is light years ahead of In Flames.
Yeah, i like old In Flames, but as musicians and songwriters, Trivium are miles ahead.
I think it was actually Heaven Shall Burn
It was megadeth, dave mustaine... not in flames
@@sigge2055 How do you know? Did Dave of Trivium guys talk about it in some interview or something like that?
The Old In Flames is something that no band will ever come close to touching. Sorry bud. Trivium is definitely a great band though and way, waaaaay better than any new shit In Flames has put out the last 15 years.
Oh nice a presentation about failure, I'm very afraid of failing so I'll watch it...Holy shit it is the the vocalist from Trivium!!!
Plays Starcraft haha. I seriously wonder if we ever played a match online at some point now.
He's a serious gamer with a huge following on Twitch as well. He's the perfect package I always wanted to be: Creative and successful in everything he does, still down to earth and a great person - seemingly, I don't know him personally.
Listening to Trivium has helped me more in the last 8 years than any other band. I am very thankful for their music.
This guy is totally awesome, I listen and sing in a lot of different styles from alternative, pop to metal but because of his personality and the band's music trivium is my favorite band and Matt is my biggest idol.
-Regards from Istanbul, Turkey btw :D.
Wow.. I was at download festival both times! I ran over that hill and I missed Aerosmith.. credit were credit is due they are a hardworking talented band and without them I would never of explored heavier areas of metal.
I'd like to know who this band was who thought Trivium was mediocre and nothing special.
*LULZ*
Dave Mustaine - Megadeth
@@kennyhouser3467 sounds about right lol
Not a big trivium but I definitely am a Matt Heafy fan. He's just a smart and very talented guitar play and just a good guy.
Love the '08 picture. Can you say Kirk Hammett?
And then there's Pat Morita with a Les Paul. I almost died laughing!!!!
I remember when it was 2006 and I was so small and my uncle showed me this awesome band. Been a fan since.
I remember finding out about them back in the Ascendancy era and thought they were the gayest looking band I’d ever seen. Then I heard Pull Harder and was blown away. That album is probably my favourite metal album of all time.
Great dude
Trivium is my favorite band of all time. Trivium and Matt are some of my biggest inspirations. Means a lot to me
Japan does have the best food, I agree. Nothing like discovering a new hole in the wall ramen joint. No ramen shop is the same as another. Hopefully there will be much more Trivium in the future.
What I love about Matt is how real he is. I have so much in common with him, it's like we grew up in the same house or something. When he mentioned Anthony Bourdain and that restaurant from Lost in Translation, it blew my mind.
I agree with everything he said about the press. Those people contribute nothing musically to this planet, all they do is talk crap about this or that band.
Regarde Les Hommes Tomber shirt!
Casually throws out touring with Children of Bodom and Amon Amarth like it's just an aside. :D
Wow I've being listening to them since their 2nd album, and I never really delved too into their personal life, I now love this guy, seems so down to earth, love to have a beer with him
If you haven't already done so, check out his twitch and TH-cam channels. It's a very candid look into his day to day life. Lots of practice videos, playing video games, and just farting around in general. It always cracks me up when I see him fucking up while he practices playing guitar and singing just like us regular people do when we are practicing alone in our homes. Shows that he isn't so full of himself that he can't allow people to see him not being perfect.
However much I may dislike Trivium's newer material, I love Matt Heafy as a person. He just seems like an all around awesome guy.
Opinion on The Sin and the Sentence? I know your comment was made before it came out so that's why I'm asking.
Favorite since ascendancy for me personally, alex' drumming is incredible.
I agree that Sin and the Sentence is definitely a return to form and I think they won back a lot of fans with it. It’s great stuff! But I love all of their albums.
But silence in the snow is great
Luckily their last 3 albums are arguably their best.
That boy needs to take a breath!!
That's how he's able to sing so strong!
I can’t help but wonder what band told him “mediocre nothing special”
Hey Matt, thank you for sharing. I always maintain that working hard and getting through all the crap that comes with the territory of being different, makes us metal heads stronger. Your positive attitude and morals are very inspiring, we need more people like you to hand the music over to, so that you can responsibly carry it over to the next generation.
Us older metal heads are starting to worry, when we see the current generations attitude towards each other. All they want to do is fight and bring each other down.
I remember us being a strong family, who stuck together through thick and thin, we always had each others back and supported each other. We were a force to be reckoned with and we just wanted to rock out and have a massive party.
I wish we were still like that, our family is falling apart, it's very sad.
Good on you guys for hanging in there, you deserve a great success.
I'm glad I had a chance to hear Matt's story
Trivium rocks keep it up man :)
Love trivium. don't know why but i can't stand metal or screaming but i can listen to trivium all day every day...in fact my fact band is trivium
Your fact band?.....Idiot
Gonzalo Chairez
guess u still have a nokia 33 10 and can't afford an iphone or galaxy other wise u'd know what auto spell is
boxinmetalx I think it's called Autocorrect.
matt looks pretty jacked here haha
Only listened to one of their albums after watching a vid of Matt with john petrucci. I think I like him more than the band. Is he the singer as well as guitar player? Like James het?
ERIC GIBSON yea
More than James Het. Dude's nuts. He solos while he's casually talking to the audience in his Twitch streams
@@Behdad47 No one:
Absolutely no one:
Matt Heafy: looking at the camera while shredding and singing non-chalant.
I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Trivium, just one of those bands I couldn't get into - I do though, have huge respect for the band itself and this video is an example of why. Seems like a super sound guy.
He always talks about being Japanese but never mentioned his Irish Catholic background, the surname is Irish gaelic.
J. o'neill coming from a fellow Irishman I gather?
ky93le in a country full of white people. No one really wants to hear about his white side.
I saw Trivium play with Arch Enemy in Orlando a few years back and Matt was so cool on stage, extremely heartfelt and grateful!
At 13:28 theres a pic that was used in silence in the snow video :D lol
Every time I think I'm doing wrong. Big brother Heafy helps me.
Respect how he gives love and appreciation to both of his parents equally. That is rare these days. Overall a very well balanced individual.
To me (and yes, I'm a fan of Trivium) Embers To Inferno 7/10, Ascendancy 9/10, The Crusade 9/10, Shogun 9/10
New era: In Waves 5.5/10, Vengeance Falls 6/10, Silence In The Snow 9/10
Fuck you, In Waves is a 9/10 and Vengeance Falls is 8.5/10
+Gonzalo Chairez I can't fuck myself. I have no fucks to give.
Kinda messed up being the 666th viewer, all I did was click on your retweet Matthew Kiichi Heafy lol
No, I was the 666th viewer D:

"There can be only one..."
It's just a number, mate.
^ What he said
Chris S.
screw u guys i was no 69 BOOM
regarde les hommes tomber
So the secret to playing Guitar like Matt is to have rice and salmon for breakfast - LMAO!
I've seen Trivium twice and met the band at Utopia Records in Sydney. I was a diehard fan of trivium for many years and Shogun was not only my first metal album but the reason I took guitar playing more seriously
I've since moved to more prog and guitar oriented music but every now again I listen to that album and remember the days of me wanting to be a metal guitarist and how much that album changed my life.
Matt is defiantly a smart and
Well thought through individual. Even considering how famous he is he proves that everyonr fucks up but it how to mmaintain positive and keep going that shows through Matt's years in the industry. A really inspiring speech and the right attitude that many people can use for their future
From Istanbul/Turkey with love, keep on!
Berk Karadeniz i am from sakarya turkish
I've never seen Matt so nervous before.
Does anyone have any idea what band might've initially called Trivium's music mediocre? I'm intrigued now
My guess would be Machine Head
Nah. Machine head are good guys. It's most likely Pantera or Lars Ulrich.
Pantera had disbanded by the time of this incident.
The opening music is very misleading, i almost skipped the video entirely
"They want to build you up to fall"
Matt is absolutely awesome. Great personality.
I love how he always mentions that "damn it" audition story, he's like traumatized about it :v
20:20 Babymetal! Kitsune up!
Matt should get in touch with Joseph Gordon Levitt and plan to make his biopic
I think this might be the best metal band right now. They’re so good 😊
My idol
Matt if you read comments, I became a huge fan right when I heard The Crusade. So if the trend was that that album was a drop in quality, or direction or whatever, it worked for me. Love every album you’ve made. Love that you’re always tweaking things and trying new things. Keep it up!
I heard that album in 2017 for the first time and thought it was awesome.
He is one letter away from being ''Heavy''.
Trivium has always been one of my all time favorite bands. I appreciate Matt doing a motivational segment for people. trivium as a band has always been an inspiration for me and my son. we have seen them many times live. Always love everything about Trivium. Matts humility and the fact that the band doesn't sacrifice its sound or compromise artistically. They always stay true to what they believe. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but when you really listen to the art they compose, its very inspiring and rocks like hell!
been a fan since the very beginning, ember to inferno, and still enjoy them. But matt heafy just has that D-bag quality and constitution to him, I think it might just be a brain chemistry thing, I dunno, but he fucking shreds and makes great songs.
Huh, so trivium actually has no original members
I'm just gonna take the time to point out that Kirk and Matt look almost exactly the same
They are both half asian maybe that's why 😅
No one eats until Matt heafy eats
this guy is just amazing!
your band is awesome bro and i am a big fan
We are band from iran and this guy was our inspiration and we would be nothing without him Matthew kiichi heafy what's the idle that we needed to get through the ups and downs of being a musician a professional musician per-say so just simply thank you
Jesus... That intro made me agressive. Luckily there was Matt Heafy after it.
I remember people throwing things at you guys at sounds of the underground including a shirt which wiped out paulos bass. Kept playing. Was still amazing show for me.
Strange they got static in San Fran on the Bodom/Amon tour. Saw them in Detroit on that tour and the crowd LOVED them!
