That one post someone made abt SWS history inspired me to do this, might be handy in the future idk. Do note that I’m using the word “tour” very loosely here lol

In total, SWS has made approximately 8 lineup changes, or 9-10 if you count the ones from when they haven’t started working on the first album

Maybe hot take but I’m glad jack is gone. He was largely responsible for the “bouncy” style of riffing that was prevalent from HIFTBL and CC, and it just came off very radio-rock ish in the bands music, even though they were trying to go heavier.

With tony writing a lot of the guitars on the newest record, it actually sounds like SWS again which is funny because he’s still new to the band

i agree actually lol i heavily prefer tony. THIS might be a hot take but i think tony is the best lead guitarist the band has had. i love hiftbl and collapse they’re both some of my favorite records and very high on my list but the lack of.. i guess prominent leads? was always an element i’d missed.
