Chthonic - Live - 13 - Oriental Violin Solo

[david12345678901dave]

@cipher619 better that than have them screaming their guts out so loud so nobody can hear the music

[Jpmcke]

I was actually looking for a violin playing oriental music, but this is nice also.

[parasitebeast]

@Jpmcke Maybe you would like to check "The Butterfly Lovers" violin concerto by Chinese composers

[cipher619]

Anyone else notice that the crowd is dead silent while he's playing?

[AGhostOverMyHead]

@cipher619 Well,you can see how the people respect them by that silence when he's playing his solo.

[cipher619]

@AGhostOverMyHead That's what I was getting at haha Guess I should've made that clearer in my original comment :P

[staartje]

How can 2 people dislike a hena solo ??????

[filth69ify1]

this makes me wanna go to asia

[PhilFilth]

@filth69ify1 Asia is big. It's like saying you want to go to America which is a 18000km long continent :P

[LaurenHallam7658]

[ElAmanteSinAmor]

Ended up hearing from Freddy, at one of their FL gigs, that this poor guy got drafted into the army a year or two ago... best of wishes out to him

[PhilFilth]

@ElAmanteSinAmor Every taiwanese must do their military service during one year

[OceansLost]

@ElAmanteSinAmor you talking about su nang? im pretty sure he went to study rocket science man..

[CaptainHair2]

[OceansLost]

[123leemc]

In asia. What's your problem. Its like saying West Life is a unique band......Europe. Get a life you dick head. People like you create divides, racist!

[kurapburit]

Very Unique Band.... in asia!!!!!!!!!

[misskhangyang]

what a masterpiece!!

i love the erhu!!!

[CosmicDestroyer99]

Full of sorrow and pain..I love it

[velvetacidexperiment]

..... uhhh you ok o.O!? I heard nothing but a deep story of trials and tribulations but an awakening understanding a way of life even a discovery of zen a gate way of an alter that is to cleane the soul to banish the wounds but o never forget how we have come so far

not to give up and not to give in but to realize

pain sorrow!??! wow ...

V.A.E. / Y.S.D.

[deeeluxeee]

it not an "oriental violin", it's an Ehru. come on, a bit more intelligence please. ... you wouldn't name a Sitar a "hindu guitar", would you?

[RusselMuttly]

@deeeluxeee Wtf dude leave him alone ha Oriental Violin describes it pretty well

[DivaDarkie]

Because it would be an acurate way to describe what the instrument is in essence, not many people know what an Erhu is. Beside you've got to remember that since George Harrison began fooling around with sitar, and so many other artists, it has become pretty well-known in western culture.

[pakeyboy]

@deeeluxeee this traslaation came from china and the band doesn't want to use this it lol

they hate china you know?

[theL2]

NOOO i heard this guy left the band, at least thats what i red on wikipedia, such a shame:(

[dangerousdynamite]

I went to their concert a while back. He had to go to the military I think. I got no idea why though.

[YelDohan]

Military service is mandatory in Taiwan.

[dangerousdynamite]

I went to their concert a few weeks ago. (I'm Taiwanese) They were great! My neck was really sore from headbanging after the concert.

[levijd93]

beautiful! just plain beatiful. the stings in the bckground bake it sound just even more epic.

[KamenRiderNecro]

BEAUTIFUL! Who says Asian folks don't have soul? Theirs is a whole different flavor of soul, IMO, that comes from a different place than in the average American's heart. Again, BEAUTIFUL.

[yanghakkase]

omg! I love it!!!

[jeezmeg]

heart wrenching

[Langaslangas]

a very beautiful masterpiece

[leemcsharry]

A complete compliment to the erhu. Only a master can put emotions into sound. Classic.

[EroGuroMaster]

fantastic...

[lingxyu]

i want his tallent. and his hair too :P

[NRG2220]

i can feel his pain & sorrow when behind this solo. so dark and gloomy, i like it

this is epic!!!!

[Daenoxiis]

Agony has never been portrayed so beautifully.

[ushergo]

i feel sorrowful just as Taiwan's situation.

[seriousx9]

This is pure brilliance! And people still say Black Metalians don't know anything about music...hahaha

[bleedingangel888]

@seriousx9 those don't know how to enjoy the rhythm only...

[blackmetal350]

[shaggyelpuertorro08]

[kQle]

[GloomySunday87]

wow!! that's very gloomy!! love it!! 11/10

[Daenoxiis]

Besides "oriental violin" what's the technical name for the instrument? It's so sad sounding, so melancholic, but soooo beautiful.

[releasethefrogs]

it's called the Erhu.

[graffitiartist22]

An Erhu. Called a Hena in Taiwan.

[maggot224]
