14 Things Only Trivium Fans Will Understand

12. Feeling Like A Total BOSS If You Can Pull Off Any Of Their Solos

https://youtu.be/ucmKtP9rZkA?t=201 When you think back on metal's history, going from the likes of Black Sabbath, certain Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin passages through to Metallica, Slayer and now Trivium; it's staggering how proficient and confident each subsequent generation has become at extending the possibilities of the instrument itself. Back in the day, what guys like Iommi, Hammett or King were pulling off was hands-down the fastest thing you'd ever heard, but then you listen to the likes of the above and it's just mind-meltingly unbelievable someone's actually doing that with their own hands. There's a quality to Matt and Corey's playing that always retains a unique sense of melody alongside the blisteringly fast technical sections, and that's what really sets them apart from the competition. Let us know in the comments what your own favourite stupidly-fast solo you're always amazed by is!
