PHANTASM Theme - Don DePaola

[FrictionControl]

Loved it! Great idea, very clean playing.

[Donny10]

@FrictionControl

Thank you, I have a couple of versions, this on is acually my least favorite. Thanks again for watching, and commenting brother! Peace, Don~

[spartan28]

Great point about it sounding like David Gilmour. If I heard it on the radio and didn't know who it was, I'd think it was probably him.

[Donny10]

@spartan28

Thanks so much for watching and listening. I'm a HUGE Gilmour fan so that makes me happy to hear that. Peace, Don~

[spartan28]

@Donny10 No problem, it's very cool what you do. To keep with your horror theme, have you ever thought about doing something with John Carpenter's "The Thing" or Prince of Darkness?

[Donny10]

@spartan28

Yes, I love the Price of Darkness & The Thing soundtrack. It's been something I have been wanting to do for a long time, and just never got to it my friend. Thank you so much for the kind words, and awesome suggestions! Peace, Don~

[REDSOXNYG]

sounds very David Gilmour-ish

[Donny10]

@REDSOXNYG

Thank you, I'm a HUGE Gilmour fan! Peace, Don~

[flydaddyA]

If I remember right, this was playing when Jody was talking to Reggie about how good of a kid Mikey was. How Mikey would follow Jody into town. Thats when we see the tall man. He stops and sniffs the cold coming out of Reggie's ice cream truck. DAmn that was along time ago for me!!

[DamienThorn1971]

Great

[Donny10]

@DamienThorn1971

Thank you! Peace, Don~

[Donny10]

@DamienThorn1971

Me too, this movie will never get old for me my friend! Peace, Don~

[drryles]

Great addition to the original which is one of my all time favs. movie themes.

Best wishes,

Dr. Ryles

[Donny10]

@drryles

Thank you very much!

Peace,

Don~

[Drac39]

It's good but I'd like to see it done without the recorded theme on top of it

[cha1026]

Have to say it again. F'n awsome!!!

[Donny10]

Thanks again my friend!

Peace,

Don~

[cha1026]

Without a doubt the most beautiful version (?) of this theme i've heard yet. Thanks Donny!!!! F'n awsome!!!!!

[Donny10]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words big time.

Peace,

Don~

[nbelsky]

"Boyyyyyyy!"

[Donny10]

Gotta love the Tall Man my friend!

Peace,

Don~

[dfortae]

Nice!

[Donny10]

Thanks!

Peace,

Don~

[Cedrusdeodara]

Great!! What a song... and what a great job soloing over it. Remember the acoustic song the kids brother and friend played on the porch in the movie??? What a classic.

"The game is over, boy"

[Donny10]

Thank you so much, that was an awesome jam on the front porch in the movie. You can check it out on You Tube if you look up Were Hot As Love! :0)

Peace,

D~

[finiousbog]

YOU ROCKED IT. You inspire me to take up the guitar at 41 years old... nicely done.

[Donny10]

That really makes my day my friend, it's never to late to play!

Thank you,

Don~

[rellik187redrum]

Cool rif,phantasm 2 was the only one really watchable in the series......

[PureAgainBOF3]

true but i also enjoyed 1, the others were really lame, but it was good to see that used the same actors which made it kinda cool

[Donny10]

Thank you very much....

Peace,

Don~

[Cabal468]

That was awesome...great movie, great jam!

[Donny10]

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

Peace,

Don~

[dollarism]

That was great.

[Donny10]

Thanks very much! :0)

Peace,

Don~

[HuevosLibertad]

Very nice improvisation by the way.

[Donny10]

Thank you.....

Peace,

Don~

[HuevosLibertad]

Please excuse the comment, but you're playing two notes minutely incorrectly. I only realize it from watching the film innumerable times and listening to this incredible score over and over again. Overall pretty good job though, from one musician and dedicated Phan to another.

[jimmie305]

Love it! I`ve listen to this song when the movie first came out years ago but you play it great. Funny thing is im also a lefty too... LOL

[Donny10]

Thank you, lefties rock my friend and so does this movie.

Peace, Don~

[ArgHamster]

Sweet guitarwork Don!

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for watching!

Peace,

Don~

[morganonyx1971]

Absolutely superb! Well done! It matches the theme perfectly.

[Donny10]

I appreciate the kind words and support so much.

Thank you, Peace,

Don~

[newbeg2112]

Peace,

[ecb2]

Very cool, haunting piece of music. Very

cool 70's cult horror film. Good job man, and I really like yer playing too!

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Please check out my new version, its much more intonated!

Peace,

Don

[silvereagle2061]

Donny, that was beautiful. One of my all time fav. themes and you made it better. Very Moody Blues.

[Donny10]

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words big time. Peace, Don~

[trcd]

phantasm one of my fav horror movies! great cover! sounds like a pink floyd song! A+

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Very much appreciated!

Peace,Don~

[Survivor2002]

That was OUTSTANDING! Boy, am I glad I stumbled across this, b/c that's one of my all-time favorite themes, too! I think Fred Myrow would've loved what you added to it. BTW - any chance you might be related to Danny DePaola? Just had to ask, since he's responsible for another great "sleeper" song from a horror film...

[ChristianNYC]

Holy Shit I love it!!! Where can I get your cd ? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I will buy that song from you dude.

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for the kind words, if you go to my channel, I have both of my most resent CD's for sale. The links are the actual Jpegs of the CD covers. You can download my studio version of Phantasm for free on my Ilike page, I'll send you a message of the link my friend.

Thanks again, Peace, Don~

[cernyla]

I don't know why i love listen to this.Maybe my heart it's to dark.I don't care...

[Donny10]

[ntripod]

[Donny10]

Thank you very much; Im doing an updated version and the intonation will be much more on, thanks again. Peace, Don~

[JohnRyder1981]

Awesome Job!!! I love the Phantasm Series, and you definitly do it justice. How can I get a Mp3 copy of your performance of this?  I would definitly pay for this. Blown Away!!!

[Donny10]

Thank you for the kind words, send me an email address and I would be more than happy to send you and MP3 of the studio version I did.

Thanks again, Peace, Don~

[hathegkla]

I do a pretty awesome Black Metal (read tremolo picked) cover of the Phantasm theme lol. good shit. Phantasm had one of the most awesome themes of any horror movie.

[Donny10]

Your version must sound very cool my friend. Phantasm is an awesome soundtrack, besides of course, a great movie franchise. Thanks so much for watching and commenting,

Peace, Don~

[elmstreet777]

damnn you have mad skills on the guitar usually when someone messes around with a something classic like the phantasm theme they totally mess it up but you made it different i LOVE this

[Donny10]

Thank you very much for the kind and inspiring words. Im actually not too crazy about this performance, my intonation was out and my playing could have been much better. Hopefully one day Ill revisit the tune and rock out a much better version, thanks again, Peace, Don~

[emremd]

Don it`s really a good piece of work. Do you have any mp3 record or something you can share?

Best...

[Donny10]

Absolutely, I have a studio version of mine in an MP3 format, when convenient, send me your email and I would be more than happy to send it to you.

Thanks so much, Peace, Don~

[jm1072]

You play a good game boy, but the game is finished! Now you die!!!

Nice jam!

[Donny10]

Thank you very much for watching, the Tall Man Rules!!!!!

Peace, Don~

[glennr2222]

[Donny10]

Thank you so much for the very kind words, Peace, Don~

[chicagoincorporated]

Where can I download a copy of this song. I will even pay for it. I want a copy of your remix. Do you ever play live music anywhere. You have talent.

[Donny10]

Send me an email address, and I would be more than happy to send you a free MP3 of my studio version. Its much better sounding anyway, thanks so much for the kind words. I do play in a couple of local studio projects, and Im in a pretty good original band. Its a vocal project and the writer (Vocalist) is excellent.

[CrazedGuitarGuyx676x]

hey very good job dude, but wat do u keep lookin at on the ground? i noticed ur always lookin down

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Lol I was playing on very tall of a chair; I could hardly hit my effects pedal so I was concentrating on it way too much. Its so obvious in this video, Im actually shocked that I kept, and posted this take because Im not happy with my intonation or my performance. Thanks again for watching, Peace, Don~

[00MORDRED]

Hey Guitar man, did you know that reggie from the movie has a band and performs all the time?

he does...i just checked out his website...

if reggie saw your vid he would flip...

its tight man...

peace out.

[Donny10]

Hey whats up my friend! Yes, Reggie jams; I actually bought their first album, some very cool tunes and music. I love that scene in the first Phantasm movie where Reggie and Jody are jamming on the porch. Reggie throws down some octaves on the acoustic and Jody plays some sweet rhythm and has a nice solo in there also. Hey thanks so much for the support and comments brother, Peace, Don~

[Cedrusdeodara]

type this in on youtube to see the vid you are referring to (jam on the porch):

Phantasm - "We're Hot As Love"

[00MORDRED]

its kinda pink floydish....and thats good.

:o)

[Donny10]

Thank you very much, Im a huge Pink Floyd fan, Peace, Don~

[simivalley1908]

[Donny10]

Its great to hear from more lefties! Not too many lefty guitar players around! Peace, Don~

[SHANSOLO121]

your music had a different shade of brilliance towards a coverup of the phantasm theme.absoulely excellent and the music was spot on all the way from the beginning to end.

i rate 100%

[Donny10]

Thank you for the very kind words, Im acually not to crazy about my performance on this one. My intonation was completely out on this night, and my playing could really have been a bit more on the money. My studio version is better. Maby one day Ill do another version of this. Id like to do Phantasm 2 eventually. Thanks again, Don~

[Gansflim]

Very nice

[dannytheahole]

[Donny10]

Thank you very much, Peace, Don~

[DaveSkellington]

This has to be my favorite rendition of the theme. I've seen this video 30 times just so that I could listen to it. The guitar blends so well with the Phantasm score. By chance, could you send this MP3 to me? Thanks very much.

[Donny10]

Thank you for the very kind words. Send me an email when convenient, and I would be more than happy to send you an MP3 Studio version of Phantasm. Thanks again, Peace, Don~

[ZombieHouseFresnoCA]

Fantastic job mate! this is one of my favorite horror movies as well! that sounded beautiful! 5/5, i play guitar as well and do tutorial videos. haha rock on mate!!

[Donny10]

Thank you very much; I love the Phantasm movies big time. I enjoyed your profile, very cool vids my friend! Peace, Don~

[Squeglee]

Didn't know Entombed borrowed that theme.

[maidenslayer]

Do you kno Left Hand Path by Entombed? Listen to that, half way through you will get a surprise ;)

[Donny10]

Have to check that tune out, thanks for giving me the info! Peace, Don~

[hershl89]

yeah the breakdown beofer the end they use the this clip

[RPAdventures]

You did really well. I really like all of your music, but this one is the best.

[Donny10]

Thanks so much for commenting and watching my friend. Peace, Don~

[KnightZ1987]

Sorry i should have read the other posts, you did lol but i will still ask if you can send that to me. Really good work! I hear Phantasm 5 is in the making... Would be great to hear your version of the theme thrown in the film somewhere ;).

[Donny10]

Can't wait to see a Phantasm 5 movie, I really do hope it happens! I would love to write anything for that movie; it would be beyond an honor my friend, thanks again. Don~

[KnightZ1987]

Hey mate, i know its a video and all but did you ever record it onto MP3 format? Really awesome if you have and could send it. =)

[Donny10]

I do have a studio version of this and I would be more than happy to send it via --email to you in an MP3 format. When convenient, send me your email address. Thanks so much, Don~

[halrkane]

Wow,Don, that's REALLY brilliant.

[Donny10]

Thank you very much! Peace, Don~

[vampman87]

Good job. The theme has been in my head all week since seeing Phantasm II.

[Donny10]

It's a very cool theme, the Phantasm movies Rock! Peace, Don~

[GuitarSource]

I love this movie as well. Your improv over that theme would have been a great compliment to the movie. Great sound too.

[Donny10]

It's an awesome movie, and thank you so much for the kind words.

Peace,

Don~

[GuitarSource]

No problem, I don't pass out compliments lightly so I mean what I say. Are you familiar with the Bubba Ho-Tep soundtrack? It's another Coscarelli classic with great music. I've been playing with the theme myself.

Check it out here if your unfamiliar:

watch?v=X10FiO8dNCY

[Donny10]

Bubba-Ho-Tep is really an awesome movie. You're absolutely correct, the soundtrack is killer and I should definitely consider working on some of those tunes. I just wished that Don Coscarelli released more work; he's such a talented guy! Thank you~

Peace,

Don~

[ThisNickWasntTaken]

That was really awesome, i got goosebumps :D

[Donny10]

Thank you so much for the very king words! I appreciate you watching!

Peace,

Don~

[brianzxcv]

can you tell me the notes for phantasm on piano and guitar please thanx iplay bass dude we should jam somtime soon i live in los angeles ca bye

[Donny10]

I do not have a guitar by my side right now but I think this is the riff.

(E-E-B-E-C-E-B-C).

It's repeated 4 or 5 of times and then slides down, and connects with another riff. It's all in the key of E-Minor. I play by ear and don't read tabs. When I get home tonight, I'll double check the notes, if there incorrect, I'll send you a message.

Thanks for watching, Peace,

Don~

[camaroguy803]

right on man keep going

[Donny10]

Thank you very much! :0)

Peace,

Don~

[brianzxcv]

can it be played on bass huh fersure but ho wdon

[Donny10]

That's an awesome idea my friend, I have a very in- expensive fretless bass, and I should give the Phantasm Theme a try with it. I think it would sound very unique!

Thanks for such an innovative idea, and thank you for watching.

Peace,

Don~
