    No wonder this amazing little riff is the thing that people ask him about the most, even if Duane's career is chock-full of amazing sounds and creative techniques. When I first heard it I literally jumped out of my chair and said 'what the fuck was that??' It's somehow strangely comforting to know that so many people around the globe feel the same about a 4-second excerpt from a song

    I grew up in the mid 00s scene listening to mostly hardcore and metalcore bands but I was also really into Mathrock bands and grind. I listened to a LOT of Daughters when I was younger who have a very clear influence from The Jesus Lizard. Listened to a lot of Arab on Radar and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The influences didn't make sense to me when I was a kid but now that I'm older and I'm revisiting music from my young adulthood and finding their influences it's clear as day. If you would like to listen to a heavier, more chaotic version of TJL I implore anyone who reads this comment to listen to the band Daughters from Rhode Island

      Came into metalcore after the youth crew revival of the late 90s that laid the groundwork for contemporary metalcore... was a prog rocker/punk before that. I had always loved math rock, noise and post stuff but you put it really well "the influences didn't make sense to me when I was a kid". I'm 31 now and I have this experience with a lot of other music from my youth now with different bands.

    I, also, bow to Duane, and I've long considered him the greatest guitar player in alternative rock, whatever that means, right? The Jesus Lizard were truly one of the greatest bands ever, and I feel like each member had such a unique style that the band, together, were goddamn fascinating. And they rocked, so hard! Anyway, I have to say that, eventually, this leason will come in handy, but I ask you guitar players out there, have you tried actually playing this riff yet? I'm a little miffed at Denisen, currently, for calling this "easy," Even if he did say "relatively" or some other qualifier, that's still bullshit. This thing is a bitch to play in tempo, but I do like a challenge! Such a cool riff, and I can't wait till I can actually play it! What a song, and what a band!
