Riff Your Face Off: Bulb's The Good Phone

Thought the whole Riff Your Face Off was a one off thing that was going to die after the first post? You were only half right:

Luckily this isn't some shit live version with poor recording so we get to hear the pure riffage over those sweet sweet 4/4 drums.  Needs more triple kick but I digress.  This track is a heavy ton of riffage with no vocals so you should play it over and over for your friends you are trying to introduce to the strict and well organized hierarchy of metal subgenres and who are only familiar with Staind and Disturbed as their "screamo" bands.

I like how the author of the video notes that this song "sounds like Tool in parts." I couldn't agree more: Tool has been using 8-strings since they recorded that cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt." Or was that Nine Inch Nails?  Doesn't matter because both of those bands are trash-core and couldn't write a prog breakdown to save their mainstream careers.  Put it this way: more people have died at Smashing Pumpkin's shows than Tool and NIN combined (and the Pumpkin's have acoustic songs .... ewww).
