Hey guys!!!

Let's take it back to the nu metal heyday of the late 90's for some of the fattest, grooviest, funnest riffs ever! WDT is still a blast to listen to with its evil disco style and crushing C standard riffs. Plus this is one of the albums that really taught me how to trust my ears and figure stuff out on my own back when i was a wee Nephew Ben! Snag the tabs below and follow along!

Scope out how brutal that Synergy 6505 module sounds. I'm really digging these amps!

What album should we do next on RR?! I really love making these videos, i hope you all enjoy them too!

Here's a couple i have up for consideration: 

-Alice in Chains (almost any of them)

-Motley Crue, girls girls girls

-Whitesnake, Slip of the Tongue (with my dad Steve Vai on guitar!)

-Gojira, From Mars to Sirius 

-Donny Benet, The Don (seriously, Donny RULES)

-any Van Halen record

-Joe Satriani, Crystal Planet

-something 7 string heavy, like Fear Factory or Nevermore

There's just so many to choose from! Let me know what you wanna see!
