The mixing engineer's ear in me says the kick drum is overwhelming Wes, but that could just be the guitarist in me wanting to hear more of his pickup's tone.
He basically announced the sig on IG in a story, but no idea where it'll be made. Got any info that it won't be MIJ? I imagine it'll be indonesian, but I could be easy off.
@@CrzyWzrd4L no way MIJ Ibanez is worth 5-6k, that's like PRS/Mayones/ESP USA or Original territory. I doubt they'll make a sig of this MIJ but could see a production Iron Label one that's super heavily inspired by this in 6/7 string to test the market. I don't think their headless basses did that well so I could see hesitation with something this niche.
"No effects. No funny business. Warts and all" Bold to assume your guitar playing has any warts at all lmao. Seriously the cleanest live guitarist I can think of
One of my favorite modern Guitarist. Technically sound and takes that DIME note bending to the next level. His vibe is dark, haunting, with a touch of Psychedelic Murder Porn.Face-
The fact you were able to conjure up this massive tone with just an amp, cab and mic and zero effects is truly a testament to your playing. Tone truly is “in the hands”. Your pick attack and string accuracy is inspiring.
Dude,Like you I'm a an eternal fan of Dimebag darrell,and Pantera Was more than a band for me, you are the guy how are perfect digest the influence of Dimebag tone,groove,intensity and the killer riff! Thank's for sharing .
Wes, I'd love to hear what you and Rabea would cook up together. You guys have such killer styles of writing. The bendy passages in this song were super-cool, dude.
My fiancé and I got to hang out with Wes when he was touring with Black Crown Initiate. I was too in awe of him and Andy to really contribute anything to the conversation, but he’s such a cool guy. And Andy Thomas is hilarious.
Ugh, so sick. You can always tell it's Wes within a couple of seconds. It's so satisfying to see guys at this level continue to improve and progress after having achieved so much at such a high level.
This the type of play through I've been clammoring for for years. One take play through demonstrating you can actually play the music you're writing. Well done. Everyone needs to take notes. People need to stop recording what they can't play. This is AWESOME!!!!
Great example of its not how many notes you play, its how you play them. That dissonace string bending part was so sick. Also he played alot of notes. What more do you want. Nice work Wes
I just finally got sarcoma the other day. I have no idea what made me wait that long. It’s probably one of the most unique metal records out there. The riffs are just amazing.
Your right hand precision/articulation is frustratingly good. And just in case anyone from Ibanez peruses these comments for market research on doing a Wes sig Iceman. I’d absolutely buy two....
Wes your talent is absolutely phenomenal! This song is next level. Your guitar tone is ridiculous too, those bends are disgusting! I love this shit. So dark, melodic and extremely heavy AF! Well executed brother. 🤘🤘🤘
That picking hand is precise as hell.
The bending hand as well 😉
@@pierre-claudemeriot6562 his bends are unreal. He is super on point with them!
@@Jeffmetal42 exactly the bends go up and down in pitch like there automated haha
as if the fretting one was bad
@@daniele_girotto Obviously not, just as remarkable.
So sick.
I wish more bands and players did these live, one take playthroughs.
Agreed!
@@martinmorales3195 like Jeff from possessed? Or Jason Suecof?
They can’t lol. Wes is just that good
Its pretty difficult
@@shaymiantewhau3014 tedious for sure. and none of us would notice the difference if wes didn't tell you.
Incredible playing as usual! That bendy riff is hauntingly beautiful
Sounds like something Jerry Cantrell would play.
@@svartsjokolade good call, can definitely hear that.
@@svartsjokolade Wes actually mentions that it is heavily Jerry Cantrell inspired in his Riffhard lesson.
This is a showcase of the playing and tone that make Wes my favorite modern metal player.
P.S. Ibanez needs to give him his own signature Iceman.
Please no, I’m trying to save money!
Where you at @Ibanezguitars !?!?! Get Wes a signature Iceman!!!
same
What is the model he’s playing? I’ve never seen anything like it. It had an Ibby logo, but it’s no model I’ve ever seen.
@@jasonanderson8102 pretty sure it's a LA custom shop one-off for him
can we just appreciate how massive and clean this mix is? everything shines through but it still sounds dark as all hell.
Jeff Dunne is an absolute Goat 🐐
The mixing engineer's ear in me says the kick drum is overwhelming Wes, but that could just be the guitarist in me wanting to hear more of his pickup's tone.
Wes has achieved peak Guitar. All hail Wes Hauch! 👑
Hell yes
He’s still going guys! Wes chops are peak!!
Wes never ever disappoints. NEVER. EVER.
The intro and outro remind me of Gabrielle, right where the first album finishes.
Makes for such a great transition from the first album to the next
@@Richpena1598 Yeah - on purpose Wes?
Absolute monster. Whole band fucking shreds, cannot wait for the album.
Update: It’s fucking sick
@@chrismccreight8207 can confirm this is true
Man, I love that Iceman. I wished they made MIJ Sig.
He basically announced the sig on IG in a story, but no idea where it'll be made. Got any info that it won't be MIJ? I imagine it'll be indonesian, but I could be easy off.
The MIJ sigs always cost $5000-$6000. It’s not feasible to make MIJ sigs with Ibanez, so it’s guaranteed to be an Indonesian model
@@CrzyWzrd4L Not always. Depends on how much they put into it. They could still make it around 3k if they wanted to.
@@CrzyWzrd4L no way MIJ Ibanez is worth 5-6k, that's like PRS/Mayones/ESP USA or Original territory. I doubt they'll make a sig of this MIJ but could see a production Iron Label one that's super heavily inspired by this in 6/7 string to test the market.

Damn, this track fuckin HITS! A rarified genuine playthrough..great raw and honest tone with absolutely killer execution
So happy to see Wes land in such a good spot. Love this band
Maestro!!!!! The effortless looking playing along with such distinct finger tone and crushing riffs 👌🏻
absolutely!
Left hand control has me screaming right now. This is incredible.
"No effects. No funny business. Warts and all"

Heroic
back again and again
matching guitar and all!
i have watched this video multiple times every day since it came out
SO SICKKKKK
God that riff at the 1:15 min. mark is so heavy!! Sorta reminds me of Gorguts too lml-_-lml
Omggggg so frickon dopeeee
Your best ❤❤❤❤

Low gain and big ass grooves!
Fuck yes homie
Such a fine example of gain not being the “be all/end all” factor in heavy music.
yea right? I don't hear lots of gain here. Is it more of a EQ thing? Compression?
He makes it looks so easy. When other people covers it, it looks hard.
That little sweep at 1:50...... :)
Man, it is criminal how underrated you are.
The precision in the playing is insane
Such clean playing. intricate with melodies that feel placed and considerate. Really great, thanks for sharing.
Couple of the strongest and most precise hands in the biz. 🤘
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 ina put holes in my wall to this shit lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My fiancé and I got to hang out with Wes when he was touring with Black Crown Initiate. I was too in awe of him and Andy to really contribute anything to the conversation, but he’s such a cool guy. And Andy Thomas is hilarious.
Sickness confirmed.
Absolutely killer riff
Love when we get these Soreption-esque breakdowns with Wes
Amazing as always Wes! Can't wait to listen to the whole album 🤘
Who's your profile pic?
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Her name is Crimson Viper she's from Street Fighter series.
@@MKmetalhead22 Aah, cool. I thought she was a Marvel character or something; that's why Google turned up nothing. Thanks.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power kinda related but she was a playable character in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and she was my point character hence the profile pic.
@@MKmetalhead22 👍 I just dig the look 😂
Ugh, so sick. You can always tell it's Wes within a couple of seconds. It's so satisfying to see guys at this level continue to improve and progress after having achieved so much at such a high level.
hope there will be a tab-book on sheethappens? (great playing and composing)
Wes is a very good player. Seems like a nice guy too.
The pinch harmonics 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Those bends. Nice shredding.
Monster riff machine!!
Damn that's tight!!!
This the type of play through I've been clammoring for for years. One take play through demonstrating you can actually play the music you're writing. Well done. Everyone needs to take notes. People need to stop recording what they can't play. This is AWESOME!!!!
I’ve never seen a guitar with that tom bridge and a locking nut. Love that Ibanez man!! I’ve always wanted an iceman 7. So nasty
the absolutely best way to do any play through video.
So much chunk, sludge, drudgery, love it
Your riffs are unbelievable.
Straight up all kinds of SICK.
Big grooves and what a gnarly solo - killing it man! Got the record and shirt already on pre-order!!
Its been a long time since I've heard someone put forth such a statement .Totally captivating and absolutely beautiful from start to finish !
Great example of its not how many notes you play, its how you play them. That dissonace string bending part was so sick. Also he played alot of notes. What more do you want. Nice work Wes
Wes Hauch is my shepherd, I shall not want.
Dimebag riff’s influences sounds so well,man your the MAN !
Machine
Love the "Creature" sticker, one of my favourite films! Playing (which goes without saying) is sick!!! Had this album on in the car today :)
all the right notes
That chorus kills me with those evil Satan’s asshole getting ripped apart bends.
Metal needs more real playthroughs like this!
I just finally got sarcoma the other day. I have no idea what made me wait that long. It’s probably one of the most unique metal records out there. The riffs are just amazing.
Thanks, Wes!
Every time I see that guitar I want it more
It's such a joy seeing you riff with that gorgeous Ibanez.
You are a machine...amazing, holy shit
Goddamnit. Just...goddamnit.
His riffs are just so tasty and refreshing. like a glass of lemonade.
Mr. Wes up in the buiiildin'!!!
The Great Wes Hauch everybody
so sick
Damn, next level
That was mad clean. 🎸
Wes is pure gold.
Too damn sick. ⚡️
You are god tier, brother Wes. Truly magnificent performance. Thank you sir.
So ridiculously on point
Damn!!!! Wes tone is brutal!!😎🎸🍺
I love this so much, especially that bendy and beautiful chord progression. Sick playing and composition Wes! \m/
that chorus riff “kisses fingertips”
Your right hand precision/articulation is frustratingly good.
And just in case anyone from Ibanez peruses these comments for market research on doing a Wes sig Iceman. I’d absolutely buy two....
You’re the man Wes🤘😝🤘
Excellent playing!
Very unique killer jam man. Appreciate you sharing.
never heard of you til now... you are incredible!!!
Sounds killer Wes!!
Some of the best expression I've seen on an Iceman guitar yet. Clean picking and nice technique on the solo.
I knew it. You just can avoid the beauty of showing this song without voice. Love you Wes ❤️
Lots of tricks up this dudes sleeve for sure, killing it
Amazing song, on an even more amazing album. Can't wait for the next one. Wes is the man.
That’s some deadly Iceman Wes💀 \m/
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Holy! :) That is insane! :) Very serious and agressive tones...I love it! :) Perfect playing and perfect instrument.!
Wes your talent is absolutely phenomenal! This song is next level. Your guitar tone is ridiculous too, those bends are disgusting! I love this shit. So dark, melodic and extremely heavy AF! Well executed brother. 🤘🤘🤘
Hermoso!
I’d buy one of those Icemans. You’re a inspiration on the guitar dude. Seriously! I love all your music.
Best bends & vibrato in the game!
Sick af! I truly wish there were more one-take no-edit videos with live audio on RUclips. You are such a beast! 👏
