Spencer rocking the bono look in that new video. I always thought Periphery would get less heavy but nope still chugging and djenting atonal riffs.
It's weird because it's an unwritten rule in metal to not directly re-use any ideas and it has spread into other styles of music in recent years. Which has its pros and cons. It forces musicians to constantly explore new ideas wether it scales and intervals or incorporating new styles which then leads to new genres. On the other hand it pushes people to change chord progressions and melodies to finish on the "wrong" note which sounds off when it would have sounded better the conventional method. But you don't want to reuse ideas so you are stuck trying to choose between the two.
If you listen to pop, classical, Disney or other film music etc they endlessly use the same ideas over and over throughout their careers. Pop artist shamelessly re-use existing melodies from other big artists but in metal this gets you torn apart(Avenged Sevenfold copying Metallica been a prime example). That's not to say you can pick out most artist's influence from how their riffs and melodies are variations of existing riffs but directly re-using their own riffs is rare in metal.
It's more a personal challenge than a competition at least in mine and many other's experience. You could finish work and relax playing games or you could tab/learn/record/upload a new solo and then comfortably switch off knowing you did something productive. That dude re-recording the entire song is madness, talented guy!
It's funny when artists re-use old riffsI fell in love with the idea when I heard Juggernaut because it really worked well there. But most other times it is funny to hear, Mark Tremonti has reused some riffs & licks in his new songs and it just feels weird.
