Nostalgia! Amazing. Xx.

[@slayerdude10]

This Man is the reason i started playing guitar.. then eventually rediscovering tom morello, EVH, among others :) thank you Dave!

[@gh0stransist0r]

this brings back a lot of memory. Legend!

[@brownpunk1794]

People always saying pop punk easy..this man is an amazing guitarist

[@mattstarf4294]

I love Dave, I think I'm a bit older than him... I'm Indian and I look a little similar to him... I'd never seen an Asian person in a punk or a metal band up to that point... as soon as I saw him in Sum41 I picked up my guitar, started a band and never looked back :)

​@@mattstarf4294 check Ian d'sa from billy talent

[@matthewmiranda7060]

Heard some Lagwagon riffage in there. Respect.

[@bennylind7802]

Dave is a hell of a player and when it comes to choosing my favoutite one he's right at the top with page, richards and gilmore! Hope to see him live again!

[@maruogo626]

It sounds awesome.
Dave helped me some years ago. Dave recorded my playing guitar at his studio. His Marshal amp sounded awesome. I thank Dave

[@techdeathhippie6319]

Very cool

[@AnthonyB331]

Damn thats pretty sweet. Do you remember which marshall it was?

[@AnthonyB331]

Dave mentions a tsl 99, maybe that was it!

[@rodrigocutini8308]

Best riffs in the 2000's pop-punk. Brownsound is a living legend.

[@wendyurbano362]

Dave you are a legend

[@AnthonyB331]

Whoa..never clicked on a vid so fast. Loving the new signature guitar! I remember reading an interview where you mentioned jcm 800 but also using a slash marshall too. Damn love all the riffing, hell song, no reason, out for blood damn

[@jcwear89]

Thats the sound! Sweet 😁

[@ziggyz2958]

Sounds great! I have this same amp and cab. Love it!

[@Andithewicked]

Thanks vor the Demo! I really love the Marshall Sound and I tried the SC20 as a lightweight Amp for Clubshows ans rehersals. I know its a 20 Watt !Studio! Version of the iconic 100 Watt jcm800 but this particual one that i had wasnt able to keep up with a metal Drummer on rehersal. So i wasnt satisfied. Still using my old DSL50th which have a jcm800 build in ;-)

[@ayden_james]

he still looks the same as he did years ago if not better

[@jgakpp]

Right? Show your aging secrets Dave lol!

[@RekusoXYZ]

No one gonna talk about him playing No Reason?

[@johnroesch689]

when you come to port colborne stop in at your fav. fans 88 coronation dr.

[@Arvintures28]

Damn video editing, just cut through the entire Hell Song solo play through.

[@capt_howdy]

They were basically a metal band disguised as a pop-punk band.
