      Totally agree! Many people are easily wooed by spectacle of shredding, so the miss the awesomeness of someone who focuses largely on riffs, but Zach really brings is with his playing and tone. And like you said, the video formate, compilation of songs etc. make for really enjoyable watching. I honestly get really board of watching people shredding after a while... I'd much rather listen to someone who hammers out interesting riffs like Malcom Young, Jerry Cantrell, Toni Iommi, James Hetfield etc. Rifflords are where it's at IMO, which is why I love Zach's videos.

      Mick said they should've followed up Dr. Feel good with an album built around songs like Primal Scream. John Corabi was a blessing but the fans rejected it at the time. The gunslinger guitarists of all the other bands overshadowed Mick, but he was a monster riff maker and played to the songs.

      Not every amp works well for Tool. My 6505+ didn't sound right for Tool riffs at all. I think this worked well, even though it doesn't nail their sound (which doesn't matter). I play Tool riffs on my Jet City cheapo clone of this all the time, and they sound good on it.

    Some spectacular amps out there these days in the boutique market, but I swear I ALWAYS come back to the SLO 100. NOTHING sounds like that! The closest thing I've heard that is probably my favorite amp on the planet, right now, is the 3rd Power Kitchen sink. Their hot-rodded plexi circuit is as good as the SL0 (IMO). It's odd that you don't see more of that amp. GREAT video. You showed off the spectacular crunch/super-crunch really well.
