Michael Shulman - "Spartan" (2010)

[dogtorman]

someone go make a wikipedia page about this guy.

[Syarali00]

This guy breathes music! He feels it through out his veins. this is an artist, not what we have today on TV.

[splendora]

this man deserves to be famous!

[HardCorpsPredator]

Stop MOVING! I wish to see the EPIC VIOLIN!

[originalprieto2000]

[Wolgg]

how awsome you need to be to play dragon-shaped violin? :3

[annienj1]

I met him in the train station :} he was playing there. He plays so good, I didn't want to leave!

[kelly7key]

OH MY GODDDD U ARE GEOURGEUSS!!!!! KELLY FORM PERU!!!

[nixellion]

Well, that would be a little nerdish comment, but..

Hey, thats a Dovakiin vilolin xD

Insane violin performance

[Squeedledorf]

Lindsey Stomp and Michael Shulman would make an amazing duet.

[dxxa95]

[TheLeoOfCostaRica]

Leonidas would be proud.

[VIJUMPMANIV]

[nashulmans]

[Gabice93]

Euhm... Nightwish ? Apocalyptica ? Turisas ? Eluveitie ? Rhapsody of Fire ? Somebody put that guy in a band !!!

[nixellion]

@Gabice93 Thats a dangerous idea, he will kick his mates with his legs, I think...

[Chococats7262]

Awsome

[HandreyAlex]

i was hoping some scenes of 300 would show up lol

[MarryMeLancel]

@HandreyAlex haha meee tooo! some gerard butler would've made this even more awesome, and it was already beyond awesome to begin with!

[Kingofcarnige]

Michael Shulman full body exercise coming soon lol

[dasdeeboot]

I want a CD. NOW. lol

[ifeyanishaminya]

Does anybody have any idea how his face looks like? I can't see it because he's rockin' too hard! By the way, you're good! I love how you like to use your violin for a guitar sound!

[aesyr190]

Hes so good im surprised hes not in a band

[heathensong1]

glad to see he is gettin bigger with his playing

[wannytheviking]

He has devoted his entire life to playing the violin. No wonder he is a god with that thing.

[mortenpagan]

i think this guys the real god all hail michael shulman i just wanna explode in some screaming lyrics like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh as the the rebels flee across the feilds we have won the victory the mighty spartans are weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[hayseninusername]

this electro guitar sounds are coming from just one violin? hard to beleive, really :)

[prim414]

That kick at 2:35 was legendary.

[MegaAnimemaster1]

Anyone else thinking this guy looks like Brandon Lee while he was in The Crow film ?

[erithryn]

My first instinct while watching this is "re-damn-diculous", immediately overcome with "shut up dummy, this is in-damn-credible!"

What a perfect mix of unbridled, over the top expression and mastery of what was once just an electric violin. Now I need one (doesn't need to look like a dragon... I guess...)

[xXDethtoallXx]

EPIC.. This made me a subscriber.

[1uc4rd]

Amazing song I so have to share this. Is he's also gymnastic lol o.O?

[verysleepyninja]

masterpiece. got cds?

i swear you found the two best places on earth to shoot a video for a song this great.

[LexCluthor]

I always wandered what it would have been like if Jason Becker decided to play the violin.

[TheAngeluz143]

Breath taking... haahhh I need some air.......

[TheAngeluz143]

Breath taking... haahhh I need some air.......

[StringRoss]

i want ur music dude get som shit out :D

[Vidiosmokes]

[BarrioX5]

Thats what I call HARDCORE (Y) respect!

[x3leggedracerx]

[TheTrasheurfou]

beaucoup de talent , j'aimerais beaucoup le voir en France

[196289008]

Why are you not on itunes yet?

[PiGGYwithAxe]

Crystal are you messing with me ?

[Damis10001]

Thank God for videos. What if the music greats of the past could have had a permanent recording like this...

[FuckTheSystem1995]

Vivaldi and Bruce Lee in one boody !Love him

[SeriouslyOne]

I am Michael Shulman :D

[abacacus]

Man. This is just so... weird. I love it.

[MarisaRianna]

that looked funny at 1:08

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

He should get Bare Knuckles pickups in that thing.

[StrifeTwilight]

OMFG THE DRAGON WINGS LIGHT UP!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!!! MAD!!!!

[fragosiko]

Michael you are great !!! epic and strong piece this is mary frm yr fb -

[aidenwolfR]

He is great with electric violin. He inspirates me among others violinsts I know from few bands. But Michael.. he is just great above everything else.

[chpok2242]

the next mozzart !!!



[ppppppppppppppppp999]

I love your work! these piece is absolutley a masterpiece 3:48 of pure inspiration!

[RonaX]

what happened if he didnt take lessons for violin ? is that a problem ?

[superviolist15]

dislike! he's not even holding his bow correctly! and what's up with the strap? is his posture so bad that he can't even hold the violin up with his chin?

[RonaX]

@superviolist15 HATER DETECTED



[crad12891]

@superviolist15 Im disappointed in you. If you are the humble violist like myself (as your screen name suggests) I would expect better from you, not such a big-headded violinist retort. (nothing against violinists, simply a violin joke) His bow hold looks just fine to me. the strap, cause hes crazy jumping around being expressive and awesome, and that thing looks extremely expensive. All of these become trademarks of a musician's style, and hes got a lot of it.

[N10Aden]

@crad12891 He liked the video so apparently he just failed at sarcasm.

[crad12891]

@N10Aden Haha, I guess so xD

[CrazyMetaller95]

you're fantastic!!

[jaykungfu]

Vivaldi has been reincarnated and armed with a futuristic violin.

[heero7yui]

I love how you fuse some of my favorite things together; violin, shred, metal AND KUNG FU! (look at those high kicks!)

You sir are full of EPIC WIN!

[heero7yui]

Am I the only one who senses a bit of Buckethead's tone/shred style?

[RogueHighlander]

minds blown, frikkin awesome.

[dran219]

you are amazing!!! \m/

[Mozvelez]

Wow what energy Power Control may God keep shining on you Awesome totally awesome

[SeriouslyOne]

i feel special that my name is Michael Shulman aswell =)

[talhavai]

Shulman should play with Steve Vai! That would be incredible!!!

[Stratplayer05]

@talhavai Vaiolin?

[HeadmasterPrime5]

@Stratplayer05 Thats a cool name

[Alex1591cali]

great!!!

[reverant10]

This guy is a bit over rated. I mean yeah hes good and has talent. However Genius when it comes to the instrument? No I don't think so.

[metalgodmaggot]

@reverant10 Leave now.

[dran219]

@reverant10 are you shitting me can u fucking do that on a violin

[dubbafymecaptain]

i knew i liked the violin, and now, i fucking love it. This is incredible stuff, and for u 2 dicks that down voted, go try to be amazing at anything



[dec4dence]

that heel kick was gnarly hahaha

[MichaelRosesthere]

Why only 8482 views?! He's a genius guys!!! And i really dunno how he's so unpopular :(

[Dantful159]

@MichaelRosesthere maybe people consider him as an outsider, that's a sad thing for a genius

[MegaReaper127]

kicks ass yes

[1969INMYHEAD1]

wannabe guitar player lol

[vheldius]

@1969INMYHEAD1 thats a stupid thing to say due to the fact that he is indeed a violin user. If he wanted to be guitar player, I'm sure he would be.

[Jagvillboienhatt]

@1969INMYHEAD1 It's guitar players that are wannabe violinists!

[dran219]

@Jagvillboienhatt ok u can believe that take a look at steve vai

[Jagvillboienhatt]

@dran219 Now which intrument came first? :)

[dran219]

@1969INMYHEAD1 he has fucking talent

[clairebeanbagchair]

This is amazing but nothing beats it when its live.

[Daniel159741]

out of this world brilliant

[smileyofhumpalot]

2 people have a tin ear.

[TheCreativeism]

prefered the original version you done, sell out :(

[speakeasycafe]

@TheCreativeism

An opinion is fine, to insult pompous. You are the only one here that looks bad. This is an INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!!!

[TheTechBums]

I saw this guy live. My orchestra teacher in 4th grade knew him so he came into to show us his playing. It was amazing. I met him and told him i play electric guitar. he told me i would make it far. I quit orchestra and now i play eddie van halen shit. I just love distortion too much for quiet classical instruments ;)

[MrLittleredridinghoo]

In my wildest fantasies are a duet between this guy and buckethead.... inspirational.

[chrispy1996]

This guy should go into dragonforce :D

[freecounselingonline]

Wheres the download link for purchase?

[freecounselingonline]

He must have found a producer....

[drmegariot]

awesome shit dude

[kristidarkness]

Talent, charisma, looks very attractive, a fantastic musical performance .. All things trigger a perfect combination.!! Best wishes and support you from the darkness..^♥^

[Kristofio]

In my country are only boring fucktards ;/

[casperado666]

@Kristofio what about Behemoth and amazingly hot polish chicks?

[WARPUNK]

@Kristofio in your county are ALL boring ajajaja

[razorniels]

@Kristofio wat country u live in

[Mrbollshit]

[niahaa]

@Mrbollshit Really ? (excuse me, but your name is "Mr bollshit, so I have to ask ^^)

[666Clarissa666]

[roadpounder389]

this guy is sick.

[gunsterpro]

at 2:23 the violin says RAWR

[Chad01234]

Brilliant. The new Steve Vai.

AND BY THIS VIOLIN THOU SHALT CONQUER!

/cheers

[Chad01234]

Brilliant.  The new Steve Vai.

[UntamedMortal]

I wish I could tell you how many trains you've made me miss.

Then because I stood there watching you for so long, rapt in awe,

I get home insanely late, having to wait for the bus for an hour.

Congrats on your video, it's perfect.

Hope I don't creep you out when I stand too close and watch

while you prepare yourself over on Union Square haha

[Igamikun]

Isn't this from your "In Twilight" thing you were doing? Honestly I'd be glad if that didn't come together because your talent is meant for something better than that.

[louiejmack]

if you sync this vid up with the original it sounds amazing, you just have to balance out the volume

[FloNWfan21]

only 363 views, dude you are great, and you need to promote your videos somehow so ppl know you exist

[TramEFx]

Excellent video. good music w/ classic Shulman style however I thought the melody and solo especially lacked cohesion. Great sound for the distortion. All in all very good stuff, keep it up man...

[Satanchildrob]

great vid :D keep the good work up (:

[ThunderFLR]

EPIC AWESOME!!!

[cc6809]

- Top notch!

[enzothescorpion]
