That he's talented.

I think the fact that he's playing mostly with the top strings has left people somewhat blind to the fact that he's still
playing some fairly hard-to-recreate rhythms. Not too sure where the time signatures are at cuz I only spun this once.

Anyone have any thoughts on the last track on the EP, Lilac? I actually didn't mind that one.

It was certainly the one track that stuck out. I'll give it that. The intro is pretty rad.

everything about this band is so 'royal' its pretty cool and their guitarist is great

but shit i didnt enjoy this one bit every track sounds the same

"Aslo I have never played a 9 string, but its as easy as every string past the normal 6 is just an octave down from the 6th string below it."

Prove this.

Somehow i manage to really, really like this. The LP wasn't "worse", this just feels heavier, Joshua

Travis style. Feels pretty Tony Danza And The Tapdance Extravaganza era oriented.

Also about the argument you guys were having almost a month ago (lol), i believe Joshua is awesome, not because he's technically irreprehensible (even though on danza he has done some amazing shit), he just manages to think really out of the box sometimes, and be dissonant as fuck, which i love. I guess he has a pretty personal play style.



That said, him playing a 9 string guitar isn't equal as him being a tremendous guitar player, i guess that was somewhat Wogger's point. On this ep well truth be told, i do like it a lot but all he does his basically jun his way through songs.



Still fucking rules though m/

I feel like it's a rarity that other people truly read the comments they reply to.

I never said he was a tremendous guitar player. I said it takes talent to do what he does. I never even said it takes a tremendous amount of talent.

the neck is even wider on a 9 string, I'd say that it's generally harder to play than a 6, 7, or 8 string (even though playing one doesn't make you a god or something). Even though I'm a fan of Danza, and agree with your thoughts on Josh, this just didn't grab me at all. At least somebody enjoyed it though.

Agreed, Kronzo. Thanks for taking the time to fully comprehend what I was saying.

I do see your point Hopelust, and yeah i guess i was blowing it a bit out of proportion to get my

opinion on Joshua across i guess. I mean this EP doesn't show off a lot of his talent, which he DOES

have. It's basically juns from beginning to end. I do agree with you saying that regardless, writing

on a 9 string must be way harder, and hey yeah even though he chugs a lot he's always demonstrated a

remarkable familiarity with 9 string guitars, not only (like you alluded) by threading beautifully

through really weird rhythms, but also going shrieky and mathy on the higher strings, creating

massive moments like only he knows how.



I AM a real Joshua Travis supporter. I get all of that but i'd still say, his great strength starts

where he decides to get creative with his 9 string skills, not in the actual writing effort. It's

not like we can compare him to the likes of Paul Waggoner or Masvidal or wtv floats your boat, he

belongs to a different strain of metal guitar players. And i fucking love the guy for what he does.





Hope i got the idea across and didn't mean to misunderstand you on purpose "bc douche" or wtv. m/

I enjoy most of the tracks off this but I just feel like they wasted talent by being too straight forward with junz and not enough with the technicality presented in The Royal Thousand.
