Well, let's hope this one doesn't burn through tubes and fuses.
 
I was talking to another RT member earlier on the phone, and he was talking about how prolific ben waylin is with his little eddie riffs trying to challenge people to chugg when he doesnt know how..
I know some people are encouraging this spam of simple little clips. I guess for me it is really just like a watered down beta version of @ChuggNorris

Chugg came on pretty hard and insulted a lot of people and challenged people. But he has a right hand and it was amusing.

With PLX/ben wayward it is just kind of sad

PLX can play, though, definitely - he has good command of/and decent lead technique

I don't get most of his clips, though, musically

it sounds like alot of "meh" ideas, with a really good riff or chord progression once in a while, at least to me

I respect the hustle recording and posting all the clips but I think he'd be better served spending more time arranging and focusing his ideas instead of noodling. There's some really cool things sprinkled here and there but it's never really polished as a cohesive idea

His recordings sound like they're recorded well, and with good technique on getting the sounds

Similarly, Chugg can play rhythm well

but has riff-salad itis where it sounds like he bolts a bunch of ideas that barely work together, and never lets anything repeat or breathe enough for it to have any impact

if you're going for that tech-death style of 140 riffs a song, you have to milk a theme even if you're changing the riffs constantly to make anything stick - otherwise it sounds like a pre-demo "riff tape"

like where you're playing all the riffs you have of a specific key and tempo, with a generic drumbeat, to see if you can arrange them and make them fit together

If you don't spend time on how the riffs evolve and coalesce, and arrange them carefully, it ends up not sounding like an actual song with an idea
