Our very own Corey Beaulieu Checks in with One Metal in Nottingham UK Recently:

Trivium have rolled into Nottingham with their Into The Mouth Of Hell Tour, and I’m sat backstage with chief axe-wielder Corey Beaulieu. We’ve done the pleasantries; he’s doing ok, we’re doing ok, and essentially all is happy. Thing is, when people found out I was interviewing him, there seemed to be one topic people wanted me to talk about… so I decided to jump in with two feet.

So here we bring you another of our Gear Nerd series, where we chat so our musicians about their instrument of choice and what fuels their passion, influences their sound and the instruments / kit they use.
This time around we are chatting to Matt Heafy from Floridian metallers TRIVIUM about his guitar playing career and here, in part one, we get an in-depth insight into the music that drives and influences him. Come back Monday (March 29th) to learn more about his playing style and kit.

Roadrunner UK: So first up, how old were you when you picked up a guitar?

Matt Heafy: When I literally first touched a guitar?

RR: When you picked it up and were like ‘this is what I wanna do’.

MH: When I picked it up to play I was 11. When I first touched a guitar and posed with a guitar in a picture I was probably just a couple of months old. [Contemplates] Maybe 6 months old? 7 months old?

RR: So music and guitars have been around you all your life?

MH: They’ve been around, but I think my parents just wanted me to discover it myself, they never told me ‘oh hey go listen to these bands’. So the first thing I got into was pop punk and radio rock. As all kids from Florida do, ‘cause that’s all there is in Florida, pop punk and radio rock. So I got into those kinds of bands at first, like ska, and my first show was ‘Real Big Fish’, second show was like ‘Blink 182’. I tried out for like a pop punk ska band, my try out song was ‘Dammit’ (by Blink 182) but I wasn’t good enough to play it so they didn’t let me in their band. They’re actually still a band, I’m still buddies with them so they always joke about how they kicked me out, but they never let me in. I got the ‘Black Album’ (Metallica’s self titled release) when I was 12 and then I kind of rediscovered guitar and realised what else you could do with guitar. I got very much into metal at 12 and started practicing, made it into Trivium at 12 so yeah I practiced at ton when I got into metal.
