  • I know it takes hard work and dedication to play well. Most people make it look easy. David's playing may look/be easy to him but it is completely insane to me! METAL!!!

  • The only problem with uber-fast riffage demos is they all sound the same, a conglomeration of notes that are like a rocking horse. A lot of movement that goes nowhere. This impresses the kids but in the end, not his best work by a long shot and I'm sure David would agree. Kudos to the effort it takes to get to this level however I prefer his work that takes me on a journey. This stuff is like stepping into a transporter and getting zapped to the destination.

  • This song has a tremendous demand for speed and coordination, but has little compositional complexity nor art. I'd rather a slow blues solo than this. Also note that I'm a metal fan and I love this man's job in Manowar.

  • well done...but can he play smoke on the water?

  • Dave Shankle + Rusty Cooley + Tosin Abasi = Chuck Norris.

  • the devil's hands are idle playthings

  • Lord Lucifer bless your hands, child....

  • And I thought M.A.B was fast -_____-

  • obviously a student of chuck norris.

  • this guy didnt sell his soul to satan.. he is satan..

  • wtf !! sick!

  • ok, that was the craziest cool thing i've seen in a while. wow.

  • yeah 666

  • dean should make that guitar in a 6 string model

    cause im not man enough to handle the other 2 strings

  • @urdumbfoo its a 7 string, not 8. 1 other string, though I do agree. Need it in a 6 string.

  • @urdumbfoo Its only a 7 string.

  • anyone who watches this are now mindless zombies becuase he just blew my fecking mind!

  • he totally raped the guitar!

  • Thanks for the video. I like much, again thanks.

  • My mind couldnt comprehend this..

  • OMG Wtf I've just seen!!! o_O Amazing!!!

  • He maks an deal with satan an when satan say " No,I take back your talent he fucked him with his guitar into as and said : Now I am satan !!!!" o.O

  • @CallOfDuty14ful He made the deaN with satan :D

  • If we were to only talk about speed, I'd also agree that this is jaw-droppingly amazing. Sadly composition is not a race but also about musically making sense...So I'd say that this solo is over the speed limit that human ear can process in the softest form I can find and I bet that the same piece will sound 3 times better at a slower bpm..

  • what the fuck.. amazing..

  • I couldn't help but laugh at that ridiculously incredible speed

  • The only man who can beat Satan in a rock off challenge.

  • @IncarcerateMusic He IS Satan :o

  • 0:24 to 0:46 I was Honestly Shocked, My eye's were wide open and my Jaw litteraly Dropped through out that whole part of the song. 0.0

  • Micheal angelo Batio watched this and put head down and said "Fuck...."

  • That's inhuman.

  • Anyone know how much that guitar is? I'm guessing it's probably like 1600 or something like that.

  • David Shankle should duel Della Vega.

  • @acidtwinblaze He should duel Batio

    

  • sorry to say that, he have the technique, but not the sound, i didn't like the solo, btw he's very fast

  • this guy is actually better at playing guitar than god is (if he exists), which is why he wont accept this to be played in heaven :P.

  • Discovery Channels camera crew - They were here.

    (Pretty impressive speed though!)

    fucking amazing.

  • well...that was fast

  • THANK YOU FOR DESTROYING MY BRAIN

  • nicely done bro

  • Dean needs to have David Shankle, Rusty Cooley, and MAB at their booth during NAMM, no one could get close enough to see the booth before they just melted into a puddle :)

  • @mlgudead

    Yeah! Shankle, Batio, Cooley and Dean's newest...

    Dan Owen! Possibly more powerful than the Big Bang!

  • @Glorose7 Yeah! Dean should sponsor a tour like G-3 style

    and have Shankle, Batio, Cooley and Dan Owen!!!

    I'd definately go see this!!!

  • you're like the Undertaker in this video hahahahahaha...!!!!

  • David Shankle fucking melted Petruccis "God/Kill" mode amp setting. On Petruccis when he turns it to a minimum of 8 everybody dies, but when Shankle does this and plays this the the world explodes and gets the pices pounded up into dust while he smashes his axe into them to finish the job. Refference to the petrucci "god mode" videos. This riff is so bad ass I am kinda disgusted lol. I dream of playing with such control.

  • Awesome. Great.Fantastic,.The Best. 

  • This video makes me proud to own a Dean...

  • I found humor in this. This Dave sure does know how to play fast.

  • The Arpeggios... FROM HELL!

  • lol @ Insanely Amazing 8)

  • He must play with the pick of destiny!

  • Excellent !! my friend.  Thumbs up of course. G.

  • WANKERY!

  • how is that even humanly possible...

  • If Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil, He needs a refund.

  • Fuckin aye!

  • you really are an amazing guitar player !

  • Fast guitar playing or what happens when you speed up the background music to a Pokemon game?

    I now know that there is such thing as "too fast."

  • holy shit... david shankle is now one of my idols

  • thats crazy! how the hell do you do that?!!! o.0

  • If you've never heard of David Shankle before: no, this is NOT sped up.

  • LOL FUCKIN A DUDE!!! your amazing!!!

  • LOL FUCKIN A DUDE!!!

  • instead of honoring the devil with his amazing skills he should honor God for giving them to him. but he does what he wants....

  • 1:30 Ha! Badass!

  • @XanceMRevola

    best comment on youtube

  • WHAT THE ACTUALLY FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?! O.0

  • WHEE NEE LEE WHEE NEE LEE WHEEEOOOOOOOO! hahaha but in all seriousness that takes tons of practice and time to achieve. I admire players like this as well as the ones who put "feeling" in thier playing. That being said, I'm not saying this has "no feeling" or that it's "robotic noise". It takes tons of discipline to play that.

  • excellent, incredible man yea amazing guitarrist

  • 1:04 sweeps remind me of old nintendo game sounds or even pacman.

    \m/

  • sir you seemed to have left your fingertip skin burning there on the 27th fret

  • jesus fuck. I usually don't care much about shredders, but I loved how malignant this shred sounded

  • holy fuck

  • It's an audio presentation of how he conquered Hell, and melted Satans mind with his lightning fast solos. Thats the kind of emotion that comes to mind, so yes, there is emotion with this guys shredding...

  • while there is very little musical qualities to this solo, i can't believe how damn fast this man is!

  • Now that takes some serious dedication to get to that level of speed. Much respect man!

  • If id learn that id be god

  • we now know who the next antichrist will be.

  • Well I guess it's pretty amazing from a technical standpoint, but I don't get why anybody would want to play that fast.

  • @blahkaw98 imagine the epicness of masturbating at that speed

  • @Razb3rry AHAHAHAHAHA :p

  • WHAT DA' FUCK!!!

    THIS IS REALLY INSANE!!!

    DAVID SHANKLE RULES!!!!!

  • i think this guy is faster than batio...he picks faster at the very least and i don't know how he can possibly play that fast on a scalloped fretboard. this guy is insane.
