@@ItzFoust The break riff on Fallen Hero is one of the best of all time. You can really hear that modulated classical style that he credits Mustaine for.
Was one of my favorite bands back in the day. Went to all their shows. Met them at the bar after one of their shows and sad to say they were complete douche bags. And I’m not a super fan of anyone just said great show loved their older stuff and they looked at me like I had some nerve being alive and talking lololol it’s funny now but at the time I was blown away. They were still very underground ish and my friend and I asked about a song and they were insulted “we’lol never play that song again” like ok fuck me for listening to YOUR music?!?!?!

Awesome ass guy. Before Bad Wolves really got that big, he was in New Jersey and gave me bass lessons while my usual instructor was on tour and gave me a signed God Forbid pick. Fuckin legend
Got to meet Doc and Dallas at a show after they opened for Children of Bodom at the Riveria in Lawrence, KS back in 2004ish. Super cool dudes, took a few minutes to talk about guitar to a 15 year old kid. I'll never forget it!
I'm not huge into Bad Wolves, but this guy kicks ass. And I think his band can help a lot of people that aren't into metal find their way into some heavier stuff. Based on the comments section I seriously need to check out his old band God Forbid.
I met doc (and Matt) in oswego back on the trespass america , I had been a God forbid fan for ever and meeting doc was awesome.. such a great guy and so down to earth . Even got a cool lesson from him and Matt and he let me jam on his jackson soloist ..
Shame god forbid disbanded. I think if they stuck around just a bit longer they would have got the recognition they deserve. Was playing to the fallen hero just yesterday.
I never heard this band / have heard God Forbids..but his influences were and are a lot like mine.. From Nirvana to Pantera .. And I love alternate picking...
Well played bro, and Disobey is one of my favorite albums ever, its heavy and grooves like "far beyond driven" also shedding skin has always been my fav song by Pantera and you nailed it!
BROTHER!!! WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!! PANTERA, MEGADETH, NIRVANA, BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD, EVEN THE ESP E-II GUITAR!!! I GOT THE OTHER TWIN 7 STRING E-II GUITAR MODEL AS YOURS, BUT WITH THE EVERTUNE BRIDGE ON IT, ANOTHER IN COMMON!!! CHEERS BROTHER!!! 👍🤘😄🤝😄🙏🙌
Fun fact the riff for come as you are is just the riff from "The Eighties" by Killing Joke, they went to court over it, and then later Dave Grohl ended up playing drums on a whole Killing Joke album.
I could tell that Dimebag had an influence on you because of Bad Friend's use of that foot pedal Dime also used. (Can't recall the name, but also that brown Dean ML Dime also had on the wall behind him. Either way, Doc's work is the main reason I love Bad Wolves' music. Thanks.
It's so sad that Doc (who is fantastic guitar player and songwriter) is in Bad Wolves right now. God Forbid was the band for the ages - incredible sense of melody, power and technicality. Bad Wolves is ok, but just a mediocre radio-friendly rock, no offense.
They were my favorite band but after gone for ever they really dropped off. They have some really shit albums after that. You can tell they were just trying to “make it” essentially. They even took a shot a djent before they called it quits and it didn’t come out well.
@@ryand4533 that is not entirely accurate. Sure, Gone Forever is my favorite as a whole, but Constitution of Treason is amazing, too, with tracks like End of the World, Chains of Humanity, Into the Wasteland, Divinity.
@@Metalguy86 and i really love Earthsblood - killer hooks (Rain, War Of Attrition, Walk Alone, Empire Of The Gun) mixed with interesting Opeth-esque vibes like title track or New Clear. That was something.
I liked their first album, it was djenty and groovy, but still radio-friendly enough. The opening riff to Jesus Slaves is absolutely FILTHY. But yeah, they’re definitely going a little more radio-friendly now. I wish they’d return to their older sound, especially now that they’ve got DL Laskiewicz in the group
I saw God Forbid years ago with Shadows Fall. I remember talking with Byron about booking. It was the first time I met Doc. He was wearing a Thundercats shirt. One of my favorite cartoons and that was the conversation starter. Didn’t know he was in Bad Wolves though. Not really my kind of music so I hasn’t given them much of a listen. Megadeth was also one of my influences. Great band.
It’s a trip growing up most musicians were mostly nerds, u all remember band, I graduated ‘96 so I’m old school. I shoulda learned to play an instrument, 😎.
Partied with you guys in Greenville South Carolina one night and it was one of the best I've ever had... actually got in a fight with your manager because he defaced My Guitar magazine you guys had signed
@@marc2000z sounds like that as well but tbh that was just your life and jump in the fire have parts that sound so similar that they could be from the same song
He left the band, because he wanted to pursue a solo career. Then it came out, he was a domestic abuser and a conspiracy theorist. Five Finger Death Punch even distanced themselves from him, as he did stand-in duties for Ivan a couple years back, and they are basically as right wing as they come.
Yeah my local hard rock station basically loops them. They’re another radio friendly modern metal “all edge no point” style band for basic Karens/Kens who most likely really enjoy Nickelback.
@@LintBisquick 30 years in the music business buddy. Doubt you know more than me. Doc is likely living off advances and licensing via the label. I'm WELL VERSED in where the money comes from and how.

I seen them.on that tour as well. Miss both those bands 😪
To the fallen hero is one of my most nostalgic songs from back in the day, incredible guitarist!
Gone Forever is still my favorite album. The guitar tone is killer
Agreed.
"determination" had a sick guitar tone (and production) too.
constitution of treason for me
Not gonna lie, I had no idea who this man was before this video. I must say, he's a pretty cool guy and I'm a fan.
Same. Very cool dude.
Old God Forbid still holds up really well. After like 10 years or so, it still sounds great every time.
I found God Forbid when I was a kid and just started getting into guitar!
Did you ever see the god forbid dvd?
I'm not huge into Bad Wolves, but this guy kicks ass. And I think his band can help a lot of people that aren't into metal find their way into some heavier stuff. Based on the comments section I seriously need to check out his old band God Forbid.
The fact that his strings are ringing makes this video so good...
Saw god forbid several times live, small club settings, they killed it every time!
Awesome to see all the God Forbid love in the comments! What a cool/different band!
I met doc (and Matt) in oswego back on the trespass america , I had been a God forbid fan for ever and meeting doc was awesome.. such a great guy and so down to earth . Even got a cool lesson from him and Matt and he let me jam on his jackson soloist ..
I love Doc! Get back with your brother & God Forbid EVENTUALLY!
I'm not super big into Bad Wolves, but there's a lot of riffs in their first album that are HEAVY (especially Jesus Slaves). Doc kicks ass
RIP God Forbid. Such an awesome band.
Shame god forbid disbanded. I think if they stuck around just a bit longer they would have got the recognition they deserve. Was playing to the fallen hero just yesterday.
Saw God Forbid live once. Doc hung out in the lobby after the show, had plenty of time for fans....RESPECT
Symphony of Destruction was one of the first songs I too learned how to play on guitar!! 🤘🏻 🎸
Love that M-II
That's a cool looking Japanese "The Crow" t-shirt
10:08 - I still love this song and riff. Really wish they got big enough to stay together.
Hey Doc, still have the digitech whammy I bought from you that was used on the first god forbid record. Thank you
I remember having beers with Doc & the drummer of God Forbis in Detroit after a show. Super cool down to earth dudes
Love Doc. Got to meet him OKC and he was cool as the breeze. One of my favorites!
OKC awesome!
I never heard this band / have heard God Forbids..but his influences were and are a lot like mine..
From Nirvana to Pantera .. And I love alternate picking...
Well played bro, and Disobey is one of my favorite albums ever, its heavy and grooves like "far beyond driven" also shedding skin has always been my fav song by Pantera and you nailed it!
Dayummmm well, God Forbid is still my favvvvvvvvvvvvv
Determination is still one of my favorite God Forbid tracks. Antihero was another badass track.
"This Was My Life" is very close to my favorite Megadeth song. Nice pick!
Love you Doc!
Doc Coyle
Chicago misses you
God Forbid!!
I saw him at the opening of the clip & said right then he's in god foebid... yeah they are killer and very nice luce show
I was surprised by shedding skin a very underrated track by Pantera
Far beyond had some good tracks
@@trentonmcintyre5617 sure does my man!
love this track
Shedding skin was and always will be my favorite riff OF ALL TIME 💯
I've been playing for 30 years. This Was My Life is one of my go to songs. It's so much fun to play.
Absolute badass.
SWEET Guitars
BROTHER!!! WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!!
PANTERA, MEGADETH, NIRVANA, BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD, EVEN THE ESP E-II GUITAR!!!
I GOT THE OTHER TWIN 7 STRING E-II GUITAR MODEL AS YOURS, BUT WITH THE EVERTUNE BRIDGE ON IT, ANOTHER IN COMMON!!!
CHEERS BROTHER!!! 👍🤘😄🤝😄🙏🙌
Dude has killer taste
7:52 Wow. I've been a God Forbid fan for a long time. NOW I can really hear the Megadeth influence in their riffs.
Never really listened to him play until now, dude can play like a champ!
Then You should try and give a listen to his previous band, God Forbid, lots and lots of killer guitars riffs .
Fun fact the riff for come as you are is just the riff from "The Eighties" by Killing Joke, they went to court over it, and then later Dave Grohl ended up playing drums on a whole Killing Joke album.
Excellent!
Is he playing the Spark here?
Sounds like a cool bedroom tone.
I could tell that Dimebag had an influence on you because of Bad Friend's use of that foot pedal Dime also used. (Can't recall the name, but also that brown Dean ML Dime also had on the wall behind him.
Either way, Doc's work is the main reason I love Bad Wolves' music. Thanks.
You the man DOC!!!
I still come back to that evil chorus riff from God Forbid's "Cornered"😈
Does anyone even know the name of 1 original bad wolves song?

Idk I live and breathe metal and metalcore and I love Bad Wolves especially Disobey. The opening to "another officer down" is sick af!
I forgot all about God Forbid. Time to go back in time to 2008
I saw God Forbid years ago with Shadows Fall. I remember talking with Byron about booking. It was the first time I met Doc. He was wearing a Thundercats shirt. One of my favorite cartoons and that was the conversation starter. Didn’t know he was in Bad Wolves though. Not really my kind of music so I hasn’t given them much of a listen.

That usa dean far beyond driven in the back tho😍 i have the same one
That ESP Horizon paired with that Spark amp sounds insane. Never was a huge Megadeth fan but,.....Hanger 18 changed my life.
God Forbid still rules 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Damn what is that 7 string tuned to? Sounds like G#. Probably lower
God Forbid🤘🏻
It’s a trip growing up most musicians were mostly nerds, u all remember band, I graduated ‘96 so I’m old school. I shoulda learned to play an instrument, 😎.
I still have Determination on regular
Same, dude. Awesome record! Rough sounding and aggressive as hell
God-for-Bid God-for-bid God-for-bid
God forbid for life!!
10:50 sick tone (and riff)
Partied with you guys in Greenville South Carolina one night and it was one of the best I've ever had... actually got in a fight with your manager because he defaced My Guitar magazine you guys had signed
Lol at beavis and butthead part
Jesus Slaves has all the groove, chorus is mad fun to play
Oh how I wish that read, God Forbid's Doc Coyle instead.
lol that same Paul Gilbert lick was the only lick I knew for my first year of playing.
Love this! But that ringing inside the guitar during "Symphony" from the Floyd system gets me like 😬
Buuuut... Anti-Hero is flat out epic 💜💜💜
What kind of shirt is that?
😮🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dude’s a Megadeth fan. Sign his band ASAP
Jossss gandos lanjut
🤘O_O🤘
👌🏼
Odd comparison but, same speaking voice as chef David Chang, is this guy Korean? And black?
Black and White.
Harvester is definitely my favorite Metallica song. Hands down
I'm not a big fan of the heavy down tuning. I liked the God Forbid stuff better.
Shedding Skin sounds way to fast.
Bruh of course he has a portrait of Obama on his wall
My 1st song was Iron Man
Didn't tommy just win the lawsuit against the band?
They came to an agreement
Why does he look like Carmelo Anthony?? 🙂
Is this nickelback
F bad wolves.
悪魔の夜
Too bad politics ruined your band.
Nice Obama photo
So waiting for the new BW album. DL FUCKING KILLS
Sad that y'all bailed on Tommy because hes a conservative
Doc plays the riff better then.. you know-))
No Tommy Vext then Bad Wolves are not worth seeing.
Why does Shedding skin sound so much like That was just your life?
I thought it sounded more like “Jump in the Fire” 🤷♂️
@@marc2000z sounds like that as well but tbh that was just your life and jump in the fire have parts that sound so similar that they could be from the same song
Bad Wolves is such a cringy try hard name
This guy is so bad. Mediocre player in a mediocre band (god forbid) wayyyy overrated
Didn’t bad wolves fire their singer cause he’s a Republican? 😂
He left the band, because he wanted to pursue a solo career. Then it came out, he was a domestic abuser and a conspiracy theorist.
Five Finger Death Punch even distanced themselves from him, as he did stand-in duties for Ivan a couple years back, and they are basically as right wing as they come.
Bad Wolves? What a stupid name for a band!
Yeah my local hard rock station basically loops them. They’re another radio friendly modern metal “all edge no point” style band for basic Karens/Kens who most likely really enjoy Nickelback.
I bet he cries all the way to the Bank. 🤨
@@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245 Not really. Maybe the radio cuts but dig deeper.
@@ObsidianLife A reality check is needed. Theres no money in music unless you’re on the road doing big shows.
@@LintBisquick 30 years in the music business buddy. Doubt you know more than me. Doc is likely living off advances and licensing via the label. I'm WELL VERSED in where the money comes from and how.
Doc wrote a shit load of bad ass riffs in God Forbid
