My favorite episode of: "Rob Tries To Go 5 Minutes Without Making Every Song Metal"
0-000-0-000-0-000-0-000
Challenge: G O D L Y
failed in 2 minutes
To be fair he was given a weird lower tuning that really would be weird in anything else
@@dude-guy6351I could see someone like Björk using a tuning like that
I love that they counted method man twice without realizing it and deduced that there must have actually been 10 original wu tang members
unironically andrew's screamo vocals for "I GOTTA PROTECT MY NECK" went fucking hard
Hard agree
Same
Huh im not there yet I guess
What's stunning to me is not how quickly you guys can come up with a song but how quickly you can *workshop* it. It's this constant back and forth between you and Andrew as you piece the thing together, half the time talking in shorthand. Brothers from another mother!
It’s not a very good song though.
@@thegoodguy44 that's subjective the point isn't to make the greatest song possible but to make something listenable out of potentially the worst tuning ever
That's insane musical chemistry. Band goals, honestly.

@@gwc_garage nah.
Rob: Bass is important. A good bass line is what makes a good song great. Also Rob: I don't have time, I'm just gonna do a simple bass line.
Hey, he had some sick slides in there
Sometimes simple IS good
And sometimes a simpler bassline is important rather than making it too busy
andrew: i won’t make it easy on you rob: *NOT DIFFICULT ENOUGH*
That clean riff sounds straight up Dillinger Escape Plan to me, and I am all for it.
Sounds like something off of one of us is the killer or one of the jazz breaks on calculating infinity
great taste man
The dynamic of this group always makes me smile. The amount of fun you all have makes the music pop.
I love how Andrew's just screaming the whole song through and then, at the end, he's just politely asking for a pair of mittens 🤣
Most guitar players would have folded at that tuning. Rob is a beast. I love this group's dynamic so much :)
the tuning is nice though, very dissonant and mysterious
It’s really pretty actually
Playing 1 chord only ? I'm no guitarist but I could at least shit out 2 😜
@@jonathanmellqvist2let’s see it
im just gonna come out and say it: they are on different levels musically. andrew is like autistically musical, while scallon has a gimmick he uses over and over again@@jonathanmellqvist2
just seeing how robs mind is working through the entire process is so interesting and really shows his writing process which is so cool.
the story went like this: "dude i have a cool synth the size of a room" "you're now my best friend"
Never expected a drop of Wu Tang knowledge, but I for one am not complaining.
That is the politest ending for such a brutal breakdown about protecting your neck in the winter
"How would you describe Rob Scallon's writing process?" "Very much so, yes."
"I don't need any practice" the most bass player thing I've heard 😂😂😂
newest knocked loose single goes hard
I love that Sonic Boom is just kinda like extra First of October lol
I appreciate how you really leaned into this. (Way to really accept his offer!) You have real talent as a producer, Rob. All those choices you made, improved both the tracks immeasurably! I don’t think anyone could have seen where this track (or the other one was going), but you did! And your maturity in walking away from the other track, and letting Andrew create, was amazing! Love your content and energy!
I really like the synergy between you and Andrew, him coming from electronic synthesizers and you metal guitar and the such, it makes the whole exchange very interesting and funny to watch
Rob writing songs in the same chaotic way as I do, is so inspirational
I love how the note at the end of the Sonic Boom jingle is played on the instrument that the episode is focused on, really neat
Rob and Andrew are a seriously entertaining duo.
"It's not a tuning anyone else has ever used." I'm sure Soundgarden did it sometime. They had THEE craziest tunings I've ever seen.
Mailman had a fkn weird one and superunknown. Burden in my hand is some weird open tuning. Rusty cage is like the e string is tuned to B? Fuck knows what they used on my wave
@@legitwhitebelt8353 Soundgarden tunings is a video all by itself! I believe "Dusty" has every string tuned to D and G in some form.
Sonic Youth would like to have a word with you. XD
Oh, come on, SOMEBODY must have...
@@scottvogel8477 They're too busy eating watermelon out of Peter Frampton's cooler.
"SCAAAAARRRRRRRFFFFF!!!!" (repeat 4x)
i'm not a regular viewer but the chemistry that ya'll share through this is hype looking for more
Have you watched the First of October stuff
Can't wait for the covers of this.
I think these are some of my favorite Andrew Huang lyrics now.
It’s so great to see Rob just work things out on his head and say OK OK we’re gonna do it this way, genius at work also- BADGER BADGER MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
Ngl that tuning is freaking awesome. Perfectly the style that I listen to lol. Just going through the notes sounds awesome
I love y’all so much keep making amazing videos
So much fun. Love watching the awesome friendship as much as the music and creativity!
My favorite videos of you have always been with Andrew. You guys are so creative and best of all just have fun with each other
Been following Rob for years and he still makes the coolest content ever... Thank you, you're awesome
Rob, I haven’t watched your channel in a good 5+ years and to see you still kill it is just awesome never stop!
Holy shit, Andrew has an amazing voice!
Musical morning show? That sounds freaking awesome. I've been playing for years and y'all give me a huge boost of inspiration.
Sonic Boom is so much fun, thank you for making it!
Been watching a lot of sonic boom videos recently and I must say you two dudes are an absolute vibe keep it up 😊 🤘
Been lovin every ep of Sonic Boom and got worried I'd missed an episode haha so hype for this show
4:31 that is the nastiest breakdown I've ever heard
You two are just amazing lol I love you dudes
You and Andrew make the best music content on KZhead
Do y'all think you'll ever make some ""serious"" music together like no time crunch or challenge but just a true collaboration album or something would be sick
First of October album but it’s released on the First of October instead of written and recorded
You guys are awesome and i love this show
Love these sonic boom episodes!!!!
This is awesome! I'm amazed at your ability to instantly play in an unusual tuning. Actually, that's one reason I study music theory myself: to eventually be able to play any guitar in any tuning with any number of strings. Thanks for the great content!
Hey hey, I posted this on Andrew's channel too... I love both of your channels independently and you two are supper rad together! Thanks for keeping music making fun. Love it! And super cool to have a production team to play with they're super cool too. You're all great! This makes me think of the video Andrew posted about branding and it's limitations. I love the metal guitars added too!!! Love to see you both trying lost of different things. Please keep it up.
This has brought me so much joy, it rocked
The video editing of this is on a whole other level. Made it entertaining and funny
I love how the double bass is just chillin
This is the funniest stuff you guys have put out barring the October sessions- oml.
This was creative genius! Lol please do an album!
Thanks!! I just ordered a great scarf! I live very close to you Rob, and we both know how much you have to protect your neck!
you guys are awesome.
This is amazing. 😂😂 I love this series.
I love everything about this.
amazing as always❤
Love the tunes, love the video. Also it's time to talk about the hair dude
Awesome series
Hey Rob, just wanted to tell you that you are a big inspiration! I bought my first guitar about a year ago (not yours sry, just got a cheap beginner model xP) and it's crazy how far I've already come in that short amount of time! Even make some of my own music now :) Well, just wanted to thank you for doing what you do
I had so many thing to say, but everyone else already covered it. Holy shit this was awesome to watch.
The tone on that first breakdown was filthy, totally ripped.
1:28 That's the song that plays when the Mysterious Stranger shows up in Fallout.
I could have that song in my playlist… great cardriving music 🤟🏻
I really would love for my brain to work like Rob's. I don't think there's an instrument, weirdly tuned guitar or otherwise, that Rob couldn't play. He just perceives music in a way that most of us can't. He's like an X-Man of music.
This may be the most ridiculous project I've seen you undertake yet....and I simply luv it!
I love to play in open tunings. Not as weird as this obviously, but still quite different, like Bb Bb Db Gb Bb Db, or C F C F C F, or Db Ab Db Db Ab Db. You can make some really cool stuff out of wacky tunings sometimes.
Those are boring tunings tho. Too many same notes so you'd have to do crazy reaches with your fingers to solo or do a melody.
I like open tuning that already make a full chord. But to be honest the standard tuning just brought down 3 or 4 half steps is cool. I even like going up a half step, so it's F standard. As if you have the cappo on the 1st fret but it's better in tune and you've got a couple more higher notes because there isn't a wasted fret.
My favourite tuning of all time is C G C Eb G D, it gives an all hope is lost type of feeling, really dark open chord, and I love it.
i like to play in DADEAD because my dad is dead
Sonic Boom on Rob's channel this week? (Partially) This is awesome!!!
That was awesome!!!!
Love the collab
That sounds awesome. 🤘😄 Also some good advice. 🥴
First of October // The 364 Sessions. Love it guys!
y'all wild af, I love it
Didn't think it'd turn into a badass hardcore song at the end lmao Vocals give me a very light Every Time I Die vibe.
FINALLY!!!! Rob making metal music again! I'm back in!
30 years later, all us 60 year olds gonna be calling out parts in songs as the badger badger part lmao
I love this tuning
Yet another banger!!!
that clean guitar riff is so sick
I never know what you all are going to come up with! I'm going to play around with both those tunings!
God I love how deep their eye contact is
So much fun!
That actually sounds awesome
Love this
I love the new Kaonashi song y’all made
the way you leaned into that tuning. also this turned out way too fire lol
As a heavy metal and djent fan. That all was sounding real good to me. Got some Gojira noises going there, A man of culture 🤌
7:14 Throwback. Classic video
Andrew screams "protect your neck", IRL sudden gust of wind slams my door. They're too powerful
rob knocked it out of the park this episode more than other episodes
oh my god this is like early Refused stuff, love it
This is the perfect song for northern Minnesota... love it
7:24 is the best thing ive seen in my life
This was SO fun! :)
This tuning was genuinely SO COOL
this is amazing, hahaha! 🤘
Feels like October came early
Soooooo good!
Time to enjoy more nonstandard tunings
