TSO (Guitar Winner) Wizards In Winter Contest

[richrdrock]

good green so 

[billtex07]

OK, it was a contest. I get it. Well done.

But, the amps weren't turned on (no red LED's).

And, your first sweep to adjust the tone/volume put you out of synch slightly.

Your scale-fingering was very good, believable. Head-shaling added to the show.

But, over all, 8.5 out of 10.

[TheJmaster06]

Is this whole song Just Mutes??

[doomerang1995]

i think the contest should be called who-got-the-best-equipment-con­test

[dave1sfx]

The 163 dislikers can't afford all these Marshall stacks

[cronus4rock]

@dave1sfx im sure even the people who "like" the video cant either haha

[wackyboyz205]

Nice wall of marshals! how many are there?

[dani96009]

The Nutcracker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[collinpartrick]

[collinpartrick]

Very Nice Cover That Run At the End always Screw's Me up :)



[lerxst88]

[thisisannoying2]

[fnlrun]

[xenoepist]

@JPGuitarGuyFutrell I don't think he would sound this great if he was standing any other way LOL

[oblivionfreak1115199]

It was probably a local store or something that knew him and let him film it there

[VideoMasher3000]

jesus has returned!!!

[Georgeman37]

HA he looks like slash!

[boxer360ify]

What song is this??

[farisya27]

@boxer360ify wizards in winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra \m/

[paulhb]

That is hilarious. I love that song.

[bakalakastan]

Nice shoes :)

[kfikid]

desperdicio de amplificadores

[mattgav23]

awesome playing. funny how hes not plugged into any of the stacks. theyre not even on :p

[cavemancliff]

@mattgav23 I think that might just be a giant poster behind him, i've seen those before

[gibsongod15]

@mattgav23 Its probably because he recorded the audio separately through a mic before than shot the video after with no sound.

[AaronWallace]

I couldn't have that many Marshall Stacks.

I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to fire them all up, and point them at my neighbor's house.

[KoralieMegan]

@AaronWallace its easy to find 8 stacks for 400 and sell it for 500 (each)! I did money with mine and the guy who i sold it did money too.

[AaronWallace]

@KoralieMegan Lol, not around here it isn't. Also, in English the past-tense phrase is made money, not did money.

[KoralieMegan]

@AaronWallace Comments on youtube help me a lot with english, thanks....made money! What i mean is if you find used Marshall stack at good price, dont be shy to buy it because if you need money after that, its so easy to sell and maybe made money on it.

[OldSchoolSkill]

@AaronWallace

Interesting point!

As a matter of fact, I have two HiWatt stacks that I get out once a year on the forth of July. I hide them behind the privacy screen on the back porch, crank 'em up in stereo then wait till after dark when my pyromaniac neighbors start blowing up fireworks. Then I bombard the 'hood with The Start Spangled Banner ala Hendrix.

It's great fun!

I have to roll the rig inside before the sheriff comes.

There is a substantial volume of beer involved too. :-)

[battlekirby]

@AaronWallace yep me to(I still need to pay him back for almost killing me!)

[mamasboy1645]

@AaronWallace no shiz bro

[GuitarStar09]

u look like yngie melmsteen or maybe a skinny michael romeo

[dxjohncenacaz]

Amps Much?

lol :P

[bmart999]

speakers much

[neilvai]

why did they pick such an easy song?

[S9RiDeRs]

its there most popular song

[Ninjaro]

Well, this guy won the competition and he wasn't all sweep picking and Malmsteen copying, so there must be a ton of hope for me. LOL!!!

[MadBassist2]

it was just a beauty contest -_-

[stei667]

EPIC!!!!

that all i can say...

[howienred]

its a lot easier to tap... but the picking was great

[ikkiaija]

but tapping is for noobs:D even my granny can tap i think

[guithero11]

agreed

[Aldeel91]

Lol dumbass, Go try tapping, it's not THAT easy.

[ikkiaija]

And that makes me laugh HA! Tapping is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy easier... Even I can tap...

[Aldeel91]

It's not easy to do it correctly if you don't know what you are doing. Strumming it is better for soundwise, it's hard to get consistency with the sound if you try to tap that, it's on 2 different strings.

[jibber102]

@ikkiaija: But it still sounds cool to tap. :P

[skate4malife]

dude tapping is like the easyiest shit on earth but 8 finger tapping is fuckin hard

[AaronWallace]

.......yes it is.

[sully676]

got enough amps?

[bondman00794]

never enough

[bondman00794]

amazing!

[Jagguar20]

This one is pretty good. But Lord Belial should've got the 1st place.

[agentpissant42]

You are an idiot. LordBelial's tone sucks, it's not accurate to the guitar part in the song and he miffs 25% of the he tries hitting. Not only does BMolton have good tone and play the song well and accurately, his version is much much cleaner. Belial is a bedroom shredder, Molton is the real deal.

[OuchMyGlands666]

What an appropriate username.

[OuchMyGlands666]

Wow, he played palm muted power chords accurately and cleanly...

But I'm the idiot. XD

[ibanezbloke]

Hey man, do't say somebody's tone is better, that sort of thing is completly subjective. For example, I despise Zack Wildes and Dimebag Darrels tones, but think Allan Holdsworths and Bumblefoots are awesome. Do you agree? Doesn't matter, m opinion is still my own.

[OuchMyGlands666]

Agreed. As I stated before, it's obvious that this guy is a good guitar player but this performance is bland, uninspired and boring. I'd be willing to bet that he is capable of delivering something far more interesting but in this case, he didn't.

Belial's performance has a lot more personality and an undeniably higher element of effort and inspiration involved. I say that NOT because he is my bandmate, but because I believe he delivered a better performance.

[agentpissant42]

More personality because it was sloppy? More effort because he's not as good of a guitar player? And where did Creed and Seether come from?

[OuchMyGlands666]

The Creed and Seether comment was directed at someone else.

It has more personality because in spite of the fact that his playing wasn't as good at 19 as it is now, he actually gave his contribution his own style. It has a visceral, organic feel that Molton's performance lacks. He put a thousand times more effort into what he contributed and it was, contrary to your opinion, quite well done.

Tell me something, how much of Belial's playing have you actually heard beyond his TSO video?

[clearancedelivery]

JCM 800's, and a JMP?

[ImSoRah]

do those amps go to 11?

[MP422ownz]

Sick ! Nice job bro !

[mhritz1986]

Well if you notice, only one head has an input cable going into it. And unless he has the most amazing noise gate his sound wasn't even coming out of those cabs cause that close would have caused feedback like a mofo. But honestly, his rhythm tone wasnt that great. t sounded awfully muddy. His lead tone was nice, but he played it the exact way its tabbed out. No creativity to it at all...

[gibsongod15]

All the amps are chained together

[ChrisPlaystheSynth]

yet, he won the competition. must've done something right...

[mhritz1986]

Im not denying that he won the competition, Im just saying that it lacks creativity and originality.

[ChrisPlaystheSynth]

hmm.. I see what you're saying.

[Guitarrocker731]

dats a lot of amps

[aztlanforpeace]

FUCKING AWESOME BRO NICE JOB!

[Tuscopa]

Fucking Insane!!! :) :)

[webb101094]

insane, I wish I good play that good

[potanda]

its not that good lol

[webb101094]

lol it is when I dont know how to play a single guitar chord, Im a piano man

[potanda]

Ohhh Yeahh well thiss guy needs to spend his money on guitar lessons not amps

[webb101094]

lol I do know a bit about sound, its not loud enough for all of those to be active, maybe 2 of them are on through his performance

[potanda]

yeah defiantly there all different amps to maybe he just collects them

[Ayeplaygames]

lol agreed

[OuchMyGlands666]

No, it isn't. Solid rhythm and... solid rhythm. I firmly believe that the only reason why this guy won over a far more talented and creative guitarist is because of image.

[metalhead6777777]

He has the randy rhoads stance =P

[anerfer9]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[TheGuardian941]

mega geil^^

[leejackson13666]

-why 4 stacks ?

- it's cheaper in elecricity than 5 stacks ...

[morick08]

dude has anyone ever told you, you look like Steve Harris (iron maiden) except your playing a guitar?

[peterng224]

Oh, I have same thinking of this~

hahaa

[MrAngel999]

hahahah

true xD

[Tuscopa]

I thought the same as soon as I see him on the video. Even the stance is similar indeed :). Cool dude.

[tango616]

thats fucking rad dude, very metal.

great song, great playing, keep it brutal.

[5025026]

why do you people like that metal shit

[tango616]

one, its not shit.

two, cuz it takes alot more talent then you think.

you must think, oh its just screaming and growling, and slamming on guitar and drums and satanic shit like that.

wrong, it takes alot of talent to be able to play metal, and people like it for that, for expressing emotion, and for the same reason people like rock, they like it cuz they like it, if others dont like it, then they can go piss off.

[speeddemon990084]

Tango is right. TSO is like Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. Very talented and very good at composing music.

[HEBushido]

Neo-classic metal is amazing.

[McIntire7214]

What do you mean, 'you people'?

[treyflipmasta]

lol

[OuchMyGlands666]

Hahaha What do YOU mean, you people?

[OuchMyGlands666]

This from a guy who listens to...

Creed and Seether...

Ew.

[MrsStormyHedlund]

i love those bands!!!

[OuchMyGlands666]

To each their own but still.... ew.

If you ask me, bands like that represent everything that went wrong with rock and roll. Sterile, watered down and safe.

Just my two cents.

[SlashRose]

Do you own all those amps, or did you just ask some guy at Guitar Center very nicely to use them?

[alaab925]

he had a haircut the day before this video

[megaslayer81]

fuck you dude123. if you are conformist then yhea cut your hair but otherwise. FUCK YOU!

[SkyHawk024]

i want that guitar which i believe to be a les paul which is a exspensive guitar but the price is worth it!

[TheSamantha93]

simply amazing!

[hgyture2347]

me and some friends did a medley of TSO songs at school. check it out if you want to.

[bigb160]

r u hooked up to all those amps

[Animatronica]

They're all dummy cabs except the lower cab with the visible speakers.

Practically every metal band with the iconic wall of Marshalls does it, else they would go fucking deaf haha. Zakk in fact only uses two lower cabs from all his full stacks live. Same with KISS etc. Read it off interviews.

[tristank1]

COOL

[Mrcowasdf]

Basically what he did could have come straight from a MAB or John Petrucci book 8[

Nevertheless his tone was good, and the only things lacking in his performance were a tank top and tight leather pants.

[elassowipeo12]

Unfknblvbl!

[helldorado]

If you ask me he looks like steve harris only with a guitar:P

[randyrhoads4life123]

thats very true

[supermushy]

god ye he does i wonder if he just gave up bass :P lol

he is an amazing bass player and thís guy is really good on guitar

[parkersvx90210]

He kinda looks like Criss Olivia.

[randyrhoads4life123]

just give him a white charvel and he will be

[Kramer10205269]

awesome..

[lildude42296]

nice vidio go tso!!!!!!!!!!!

[Weeksydude]

POWER STANCE!

[KrokoBoy]

STAR POWER!

[xkeisuke1448x]

cool man!!! 5*****

[Guitarrocker731]

WIsh I had a couple of those amps

[PhantomKode]

That mess of 16th notes (the fast part) is crazy hard to do. My fingers just won't move that fast.

[trainman238]

Nah it's real. Not bad.

[tooth1965]

this is cul. i think it might be fake. but if not really good bro. i've seen this band 4 years in a row and counting. nice video

[killers235]

wow, thats a lot of amps

[TheRippedPianist]

awesome!

[manhattenjack]

to switch from such elementary palm muting chords to such a quick shred and back again is excellent skill

[B1GH0RSE]

That's how I wish I could play...I'm just a Guitar Hero dork..lol

[doomisotope]

yea but this guy sucks.... this isnt hard at all.

[sammoth1995]

that doesnt mean he sucks thats just how the song is played if u watch some of the other videos of his u will see he is very good

[doomisotope]

yea he actually isnt that good tho. ive watched some of the other videos and hes nothing amazing. theres alot of undiscovered talent out there. this guy just isnt a part of that.

[sammoth1995]

oh ya well i would like to see you do better!

[doomisotope]

i dont play guitar but i do play bass. ive been playing since i was 12 years old and i usually warm up by improving with either slapping/popping or tapping or by playing polaris by the human abstract or selkies by between the buried and me. im pretty sure i have enough experience to saw whether somone is good or not. :)

[doomisotope]

and yes i know that i misspelled say. haha im focusing on writing music at the moment so yea.

[sammoth1995]

w.e

[OddTimeMan]

So since he's playing something that isn't hard, that means he sucks at guitar???

[doomisotope]

no he sucks because he plays shitty riffs in all of his videos.

[OddTimeMan]

Well I guess you were never taught: "If you can't say something nice about someone, then don't say anything at all." Or, "Treat people the way you want to be treated." I feel sorry for people like you.

[doomisotope]

it was 1 comment saying that hes not that good. i didnt say anything bad about him like "hes a fag" or something like that. quit being a bitch.

[OddTimeMan]

doomisotope, grow-up and stop the hate.

[doomisotope]

im not hating on him. i just said hes not that good. stop being a little bitch about it.

[johntwentythree]

seems like he's having fun asshole and you hav'nt seen enough to conclude whether or not he is any good. Black LP carried low.........respect!

[doomisotope]

but yea i have. like i said before i sat through just about all of this guys videos and hes not good at all. idk why you all wanna try so hard to prove me wrong. im not hating on him im just saying that he needs some practice.

[invisrene]

yeh i have to agree with you, he did decent on his rendition of the song but no matter how you put it he's still yur basic shred player. and shred players should not be rewarded unless he brings something completely new to the table.

[doomisotope]

thank you for being the only other person here who knows what the hell hes talking about.

[invisrene]

no problem dude :)

[mager4lyf18]

your not the only one

[killers235]

dude like wow!!!

[jkeep31895]

HAA look at those amps.

geeze!

[RANDOMPUBES69]

true metal lol

[Hitsugaya6031]

awesome hair

[candicetiffanycyrus]

[HaloMozis]

[tariksba]

Hey ,it's Steve harris.!?!?!?he's really good.

[boybreaker]

[tariksba]

yes i know,it's just a joke .

happy new year 2009 to you.
