Obviously Corey and Matt are class acts, but I want to give a shoutout to the interviewer, because he did a flawless job of letting Corey and Matt talk, but also asked relevant questions when they were needed.
Matt is a freaking LEGEND! Has literally every guitar at his disposal and chooses to make something affordable for us plebs. As a South African, let me put it in our perspective. A Gibson Les Paul Custom is R90K give or take, That is 20 x the minimum wage in the country. That is 3 months salary for me, as a Developer who earns a decent living here. Think about that. a $2000-$3500 guitar which is around a monthly salary for someone in the states that makes $30-40K a year is still a feasible option. But Matt. No! He wants it lower. If you see the Epiphone Prophecies now, I mean - phenomenal guitars and I give Matt credit for making the stand that you do not need a Gibson to sound incredible. Thank you Matt for looking out for your fans. Seriously - you made both Gibson and Epiphone think a bit. Especially Epiphone. Their quality now is literally on par and often times exceeding Gibson, even their standards. It was you that made them take note. They are now their own brand, and do not stand in the shadow of Gibson.
And they’re both very knowledgable, but have their own unique personalities.. Corey is a more laid back, and maybe a bit timid/reserved, but there was a two way conversation that showed he’s a really chill, nice guy… with Matt, he plowed through his part of the rundown, and you can tell he is a bit more comfortable in front of the camera than Corey-his Twitch channel is probably the main reason why (on top of being a frontman, and having a more “commanding” personality)…his Twitch channel is really entertaining
Saw them open for Megadeth and Lamb of God a little while ago and my first thought after they finished their set was these guys need to headline more shows.
@@kodychesire I had a discussion with a friend about why trivium isnt that big. We made a conclusion that if "selling your soul to the devil" thing is true, then Trivium for sure just didnt sold theirs yet because they checks a lot of boxes to be bigger than they are but yeah.... something is missing hahah On more realistic side tho, they unfortunately were that band that was cool to hate during their early years and I guess that stained them till today. Also its just how metal work... A 20 years old band is considered as a "young" band cuz we are so stuck in the past.
@@sangpenikam7 "Hating" Trivium still seems to be a trend nowadays, although it dies down. A lot of people I know that never liked Trivium now respect them and even if they can't get into their music still admit they're one heck of a band. Guess the last 3 records have been changing peoples minds slowly. Glad to see that.
I was introduced to Trivium at my very first metal show in November 2005, when they toured with Amon Amarth and Children of Bodom. Saw them again with In Flames in 2007. Got all of their signatures on the ticket stub, still have it 15 years later. Huge inspiration for me when I was first starting out on guitar. Still throw on the Ascendancy album now and again and play along.
I love Matt… he pays a lot of attention to details and tones possibilities from his gear! Incredible guitarist and song writer… But I love very much your Firenze t-shirt… it makes me proud of been italian!
No chance. I feel like they really hit the ground running from Shogun onwards. Apart from vengeance Falls they keep getting better. I have no idea why ppl worship Ascendancy so much. When pretty much every album they've done since is miles better... Especially the last 3.
@@DavidOakesMusic read my comment again, “my favorite”. I don’t give a fuck what you think of their Metallica and Tool albums, the newer albums didn’t have the life to the music that Ember and Ascendency had. Better production? Yeah. Bigger budget means better production. Better guitarists? Year. Practicing and touring and playing together for 20 years makes for better guitar players and a rotation of drummers. But the vocals weren’t pleasing to me, and the songs just sounded like the best album Metallica never made or the best album Tool never made. They became radio rock. I want the Hessian Headrolls from the “In the fire” track. Dusk dismantled? Ewe.
@@DavidOakesMusic dude, in waves, vengeance and silence were all mid af. Shogun and ascendency are still their best two records. They only recently started making great albums again starting with sin and the sentence and onwards. Been a fan since ascendency days. They had about 6-7 years where all they released was pretty mediocre and not on par with their classics
Jeez you can tell Matt speaks publicly a lot. Publicly meaning like on his channel. He's extremely comfortable and knows exactly what he wants to say where it seemed like Corey was having to think before he spoke.
Trivium was on fire with Maiden. I caught the show in Denver, and both bands killed it! Not only did Trivium sound great but they had a hell of a show too! Catch you on the next tour.
21:04 Might install a Push-Push switch and stop worrying about loosing knobs. I believe Petrucci did this mod one of the first on his signature guitar. It also improves switching time
I lsitened to Trivium in high school. I have'nt totally kept up wiht what they're doing but I have to admit even if I don't really play that style all the time the Matt Heafey les paul seems SUPER versatile.
The only couple changes I'd make to Matt Heafy's first 7 string Epiphone, that I had & sold because of the way things were, was the scale & pickups which have now been changed to what I was hoping for. I would have left super heavy though, I like the weight of a traditional Les Paul. I played a 9.5 lbs knock off live for 7 years with a cheap/narrow strap & found it VERY comfortable. Wider straps just dug into my neck & hurt.
Matt is such a legit and genuinely nice person. I met the Trivium dudes once. I was nervous as hell but I summed up my courage and decided to approach them for a picture. Corey and Paolo looked me dead in the eye and just walked off I felt so awkward. Matt saw my disappointment and just gave me a hug and said “of course man I’ll take a pic with you” as everyone else walked off. I’ll never forget what a kind gesture it was. That didn’t make me stop being a fan but I have felt weird since that experience.
I met Matt Cory and Paulo at a metal dinner they hosted 5 years ago. Matt and Corey were literally talking and chilling with me, my bro, and my best friend like we knew them for years. It was surreal because I’ve been a huge fan for 17 years and seen them live 15 times since 2006. Paulo was very to himself and didn’t say much. He was kind of off putting to be honest. Wasn’t super friendly or approachable but it wasn’t like he was a sick or anything. Just something I noticed. Cory and Matt kind of hung with us like me and my crew were the only people there. It was very cool
The vocalist in my band told me he met the trivium guys like 10 years ago, he said Matt and Paolo kinda walked past him but Corey was super cool and hung out with him
LP players all have messed up posture from hanging 10 lbs guitars for years. I kinda agree with Matt on Necks I find myself either wanting something from a wizard to a modern c or d and then from there I want a baseball batt I don’t care for the middle of the road necks. I bet his epiphone customs are amazing I picked up a new epiphone lp custom in silver burst the other day and I loved it. It wasn’t the Adam Jones just a factory custom and it was the second modern epiphone LP I’ve picked up and was blown away, epiphone is kicking ass and the new headstocks look killer on their customs not so much standards but the customs headstocks are sexy
@@corycourtney8923 yeah but ember to inferno came out in 2003. Unless you were floating around the Orlando music scene you wouldn't have known about them till at least 2003 with their first album.
21:06 - Why not push/push-knobs??... You can just stomp them both ways, with the only downside that you don't know what it's on by feel (but you can make a habit of switching only when necessary, so you just know what it's on). - But I know of those knobs because of an old Ibanez Roadstar I got, which has pickup-splitting push/push-knobs. But when I wanted to go and find more of them to put on other guitars, that was actually quite hard, cause they're kind of rare and I kept ending up on push/pulls. - So I feel like they're just not popular, but probably because they're so uncommon and people just don't know it's a thing.
Ever tunes require nearly as big or bigger routes than FR , the part you see on top is just the actual bridge and saddles the part in the body looks like a piece of an old type writer or so it’s a hunk of metal.
The point is they don't go out of tune (it's user configurable how much "give" the unit has). To do that they route a trem shaped but larger cavity for the mechanical device that maintains whatever string tension you set. They're kind of amazing, mechanically, but yeah. Big hunk of wood to cut out. I remember seeing a video when they were first released about setting one up and the presenter was adjusting the range of tension held so that he could bend without the unit fighting against it. Could be wrong, that was a long time ago.
@@MStriewski watched a rig rundown of Chad from New found glory and he had the evertune that just replaces your bridge. He had the wound strings locked so no matter how hard he would bend the evertune did some sort of compensation and kept the guitar in key. He kept the other strings unlocked so he could bend leads. There must be some added mojo to the one they have to chamber for. I'm seriously considering putting one in my custom.
5:34 - Thank fkn god!... I got tired of the homogenization of every band just switching to modeling. - Yeye, I get it, they do sound great and it's extremely convenient. - But at the same time, for some reason, you can hear it. Not that it's bad, but like it falls flat. Even outside of Kempers, you can just hear (or probably rather feel) it's modeling. - I can't explain it, but everything just sounds kinda "flat" or "lifeless" whenever it's digitally processed. - Well, actually, I think the reason is often that they don't mic speakers anymore, so it might sound great on stage, when they still use cabinets and even wedges for the energy, but as a consumer at home, or even out on the field in front of the PA, you basically get the DI-sound without the sound of a speaker blowing at a microphone. And even though they model that as well, I don't think you can ever capture that actual physical energy and the sound of it. But anyway, I've never understood why BIG acts, who drag massive stages along anyway, such as MetallicA and the like, had to switch to modeling with the argument that "it's easier and more reliable". - Really??... Who cares in that case??... That's why they have money and technicians. Get backups and let the technicians work for their money. - Angus Young has stubbornly always gotten the AC/DC-crew drag along his ridiculous and unreliable Marshall-heads, which I believe was even shown in a Rig Rundown. - That's Rock 'n' Roll and who cares if it breaks down??... Fix it and use it!
I still never understood the latency Matt talks about with the Kemper. I have never felt that when using mine. Another thing is why not mic the cabs if you're using a real head? Using the TNT going DI is literally the same as using the Kemper that way. I'm also absolutely not bashing *trivium is like my 2nd favorite band. Even have a Kiichi fretwrap lol* but it's just odd to me. The Kemper is solid, tube amps have a lot of variables and I feel like it adds for unnecessary variables too the mix. Just my thoughts..
I bet you’re tone is fantastic, lol. Imagine thinking the “modeler” is better than the thing it’s modeled after. Those variables you’re talking about is what makes them tube amps better.
@@smelltheglove2038 the ‘variables’ are things like blown tubes, failed pedals, etc. A Fractal/Kemper/Helix is going to be consistent every single time you plug it in. I’d also be willing to bet my entire guitar collection that in a blind hearing test, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a modeler and the real thing.
@@jking6760 I bet I could. I could tell the difference on the one I had. I bought into the lie too. I couldn’t get along with it and sold it. Much rather have real tone. I don’t even like digital pedals. I don’t like the brittle sound.
I vaguely remember the latency thing being more with the pickups. When he switched to Fishmans he kept saying he felt there was the slightest delay with "other active pickups" that was fixed using Fishmans.
@@smelltheglove2038 The only thing I'm hearing here is that you don't know how to use an EQ. I've heard both amazing and terrible sounding concerts done on entirety digital gear. If you wanna make it sound real, check out guys like Ken Andrews
The Double Strap is a sick idea it's just that ugly nylon bit through the middle that would drive me insane. Go through all that designing a guitar and then lay a backpack strap over it? WHY?! 😂😂
Ok come on I mean I use D’Addario strings and that marketing even I think sucks… I use the strings and like them but if some genuinely thinks 10,000 strokes will have no sweat, blood, beer, general liquid or just atmospheric changes when gigging then you’re playing the wrong gigs… change the advert for the strings it’s not a selling point
Still hard to believe Gibson/Epiphone is building 7 string Les Pauls with Evertune bridges and Fishman pickups. The new A.J. LP sig. is the best paint job I've ever seen on any Epiphone. Put'n out some decent mid teir offerings right now.
@@cfg1991 Your right about that. Sometimes the old brain gets overloaded. For the average string jockey who needs to change tunings often and doesn't have multiples of various guitar types. It's just not practical. I'm blessed with the means to get an Evertune equipted guitar, but I wouldn't buy one just for that one feature. Now, slapping one on an old trusty battleaxe you might have lying around, is something I'd try.
@@andrewbecker3700 The reason why Matt decided not to let Epiphone produce ET-equipped versions of his signature is because it would drive the price up above what he wanted for the buyers who want it.

But anyway, I've never understood why BIG acts, who drag massive stages along anyway, such as MetallicA and the like, had to switch to modeling with the argument that "it's easier and more reliable". - Really??... Who cares in that case??... That's why they have money and technicians. Get backups and let the technicians work for their money. - Angus Young has stubbornly always gotten the AC/DC-crew drag along his ridiculous and unreliable Marshall-heads, which I believe was even shown in a Rig Rundown. - That's Rock 'n' Roll and who cares if it breaks down??... Fix it and use it!
Damn Matt was in a rush haha
I still never understood the latency Matt talks about with the Kemper. I have never felt that when using mine. Another thing is why not mic the cabs if you're using a real head? Using the TNT going DI is literally the same as using the Kemper that way. I'm also absolutely not bashing *trivium is like my 2nd favorite band. Even have a Kiichi fretwrap lol* but it's just odd to me. The Kemper is solid, tube amps have a lot of variables and I feel like it adds for unnecessary variables too the mix. Just my thoughts..
I bet you’re tone is fantastic, lol. Imagine thinking the “modeler” is better than the thing it’s modeled after. Those variables you’re talking about is what makes them tube amps better.
@@smelltheglove2038 the ‘variables’ are things like blown tubes, failed pedals, etc. A Fractal/Kemper/Helix is going to be consistent every single time you plug it in.
I’d also be willing to bet my entire guitar collection that in a blind hearing test, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a modeler and the real thing.
@@jking6760 I bet I could. I could tell the difference on the one I had. I bought into the lie too. I couldn’t get along with it and sold it. Much rather have real tone. I don’t even like digital pedals. I don’t like the brittle sound.
I vaguely remember the latency thing being more with the pickups. When he switched to Fishmans he kept saying he felt there was the slightest delay with "other active pickups" that was fixed using Fishmans.
@@smelltheglove2038 The only thing I'm hearing here is that you don't know how to use an EQ. I've heard both amazing and terrible sounding concerts done on entirety digital gear. If you wanna make it sound real, check out guys like Ken Andrews
I wonder what IRs they use?
I know that Matt used to use an IR from Nolly Getgood. I think it was a Rectifier cab with an SM57 and a Royer R-121 microphone blended together 👍
Reason I play les Paul's
💪🏻🤘🏻
Matt speaking so fast, I can't keep up
How is Trivium nowadays? I haven’t really listened to their music since vengeance falls.
Their last 3 albums have been amazing.
You've missed 3 amazing albums
🤘🤘🤘
Matts starting to give off that James Hetfield vibe
More of Corey, we see Matt all the time lol
The Double Strap is a sick idea it's just that ugly nylon bit through the middle that would drive me insane. Go through all that designing a guitar and then lay a backpack strap over it? WHY?! 😂😂
Ok come on I mean I use D’Addario strings and that marketing even I think sucks… I use the strings and like them but if some genuinely thinks 10,000 strokes will have no sweat, blood, beer, general liquid or just atmospheric changes when gigging then you’re playing the wrong gigs… change the advert for the strings it’s not a selling point
Still hard to believe Gibson/Epiphone is building 7 string Les Pauls with Evertune bridges and Fishman pickups. The new A.J. LP sig. is the best paint job I've ever seen on any Epiphone. Put'n out some decent mid teir offerings right now.
Its epiphone. Gibson isnt making these
No evertunes sadly, at least not on the actual production models
@@cfg1991 Your right about that. Sometimes the old brain gets overloaded. For the average string jockey who needs to change tunings often and doesn't have multiples of various guitar types. It's just not practical. I'm blessed with the means to get an Evertune equipted guitar, but I wouldn't buy one just for that one feature. Now, slapping one on an old trusty battleaxe you might have lying around, is something I'd try.
@@andrewbecker3700 The reason why Matt decided not to let Epiphone produce ET-equipped versions of his signature is because it would drive the price up above what he wanted for the buyers who want it.
Lol ToNe iS In tHe HaNdS haha
My guy 25.5 is not extended scale.
It is on a Les Paul.
God i was hoping theyd say his last name so i can find out how Beauliuo is pronounced
