Blake Ibanez - plays Jackson

RIP Riley Gale. Legend.
-
So these guys play old school thrash in standard tuning with 9-42 strings? This is what rebellion looks like. Awesome
-
Power Trip is the only show I've been where not only trash cans were thrown, but actual people. It was great.
-
Rob Barett from Cannibal Corpse goofin' in the back and offering Nick some tea has to be one of the funniest, coolest and most random things I've ever seen in these videos lmao
-
It is amazing to see and hear the pure lack of ego here, very refreshing. You would never know the absolute carnage of POWER TRIP just by listening to these guys being interviewed. R.I.P. Riley Gale

I'll watch any and every rig rundown. I find it all so fascinating and educational. And I have found many new bands from these videos. Like these guys. Never heard of them. I listened to their stuff (not much out there) all day today. Took me back to my youth in 80's. I love the variety of the artists in these videos. Its cool when an artist is a gear head and knows every answer to every question. And its cool when musicians have no clue - "I don't know, I just like this or that". I think its important for aspiring players to understand it can be either way or in the middle.

I'm genuinely so mad that I didn't get into Power Trip sooner. Genuinely one of the best and most badass modern metal bands. Just straight up thrash metal from the 80s. Riley Gale was and is an incredible front man.
-
I like how simple all their rigs are. It’s kinda pure
-
These guys have made the simplest setups and standard tuning sound monstrous. It's all in the skill and the chops, and they've got them in bucketloads. Awesome.
-
Normally we see a half-dozen signature guitars and a mountain of rack-mounted shit......dude here is like "yeah I got this on craigslist........" its actually kinda cool to see.
-
I like this host guy, he seems like a nice dude
-
Props to these guys for using standard tuning. Rare these days in heavy music. Keep it old school!
-
The more I learn about this band the more i understand why they're my favorite band ever
-
Rick Beato did a good video about string gauge. People think that the heavier the better the tone but that's not necessarily true. I use 10's for my guitar that's tuned to D standard and 9's for the E standard tuning. I've heard this band on Liquid Metal and they kick ass.
-
Power trip kicks ass. Haven't seen them live yet but I bet they dont disappoint. Just in your face old school, cant beat it.
-
Good to see a young band with no BS about their gear that actually works on the road.
-
More of these where we actually HEAR their tones.
-
Totally agree on the tuning part - the standard E tuning gives it a certain punch, that you really can't get with a tuned down guitar, and I really miss that punch in todays thrashier music. :)

25:30 most epic walk thru in the history of all walk thru’s. And that dude just did a topless hug moments before. It’s such a joy to see an Artist at work.
