Michael Romeo - The Damnation Game

[BER2ERKER]

And nobody needs to look at guitar magazines from the 80s dumbass; any guitar player knows who Yngwie is and what he did for neo classical music. Nobody is questioning that smart guy.

[BER2ERKER]

I like him way better than Malmsteen. He writes awesome songs. Yngwie writes shitty songs that are only to display his guitar playing. Romeo is more tech and this (as well as others) is definitely the future of neo classical music.

[BER2ERKER]

I think this flows so much better than the actual song. I bet he wrote it like this and then just broke it up for the song. All hail the fucking master.

[tsukiyumi]

Umm, ridiculous...how about this intro...unfucting real

[AFleetingDream]

this is a reply to everyone who says this guys is better than Malmsteen. Yngwie popularized neo-classical metal and if you don't believe me then look at the guitar magazines from the 80's. plus how famous is this fat cunt ae? and how many albums has he sold? fucking sick of youtube guitarist these days.

[MetalGuitar4Ever]

@AFleetingDream

more popular desn't necessarily mean better

[evilmurderproduction]

FUCK....why have I never heard of this guy. That is top quality shredding. 

[patch6of6evil6]

Absolutely LOVE the solos in this song.... so aggressive, especially when the second one comes in... something about it is just so cool... more players should strive to make cool stuff... not just fast and pointless garbage.

[AFleetingDream]

@seth3556r ur forgetting sumthing here. Yngwie was the first person to do neo-classical metal so if he didn't do it this guy wundnt have either.

[evilmurderproduction]

@AFleetingDream ....that's a bold assumption that no other human would have eventually tried to play classical music in a metal tone.....

[EfdUpPrdctnz]

i dont know why, but malmsteen and him remind me of eachother.

[TheRashta]

gotham city is safe..penguin is now playing guitar solo

[GDim]

It really sounds like a malsmteen composition!

[ihatebobsaget1989]

he looks like a fat satanic version of tom cruise.

[PeanutDinho]

love that esp

[shredacuda]

kidwithguitar......your in ignorant douch who thinks he can play better than he actually can. Calling people names and telling them your better creates little merit for your so called imformed opinion.

[toomanystupidvideos]

Michael Romeo is not only an amazing player but also a brilliant songwriter and producer. Just being a good shredder doesn't make you a great guitar player. Romeo IS a great guitar player.

[hiladelphia]

sorry dudes the shred lord is paul gilbert nobody else

[kidwithguitar]

@hiladelphia come on, thats just stupid even paul gilbert would say michael romeo is much better at technical things. Not saying paul gilbert is bad cause hes fuckin amazing, but michael romeo is clearly much fast dont be ignorant

[kidwithguitar]

@hiladelphia @hiladelphia come on, thats just stupid even paul gilbert would say michael romeo is much better at technical things. Not saying paul gilbert is bad cause hes fuckin amazing, but michael romeo is clearly much fast dont be ignorant

[hiladelphia]

@kidwithguitar Sorry man this video doesnt support what you say, hes just a fat guy playig average,PAUL GILBERT is god this guy mm not

[kidwithguitar]

@hiladelphia maybe not this video in particular but your clearly retarded or bad at guitar and dont know what your talking about

[hiladelphia]

@kidwithguitar Yes I know what im talking about and who the fuck is michael romeo, lol even he name is funny. Learn to play then argue

[kidwithguitar]

@hiladelphia hahahaha are you serious youre just proving my point further by making fun of his name and not bring up any valid arguments. thanks. Also check my videos faggot i bet you im way better than you

[hiladelphia]

@kidwithguitar Im fucking serious this fat ass i no way near of paul gilbert or yngwie

[kidwithguitar]

@hiladelphia well then youre clearly retarded and bad at guitar and dont know what youre talking about. theres no point arguing with a close minded dipshit

[6alexi6laiho6]

@hiladelphia are you serious? i guess you really can't play guitar at all if you're saying stuff like that... and i belive you never will

[hiladelphia]

@6alexi6laiho6 alexi laiho sucks so stfu poser

[6alexi6laiho6]

@hiladelphia ... so now alexi laiho sux? you really have some mental problem... i suggest you visit a doctor or something. and who in your opinion doesn't suck???

[shredacuda]

@kidwithguitar I've been playing over 22 years, i gig several times a week, and i've tought guitar. this guy is very good, but he's not in Gilbert's league.....That's based on my knowledge of the instrument and technique, not just my opinion.

[kidwithguitar]

@shredacuda I dont understand how anyone can think that, paul gilbert is a great shredder mainly with like 3-6 note per string patterns, hes even admitted himself that he is a bad sweep picker. You probably havent seen the full extent of Michael Romeos ability he can do anything at any speed, technically he is a better player. I would say on opinion hes a better composer after hearing the 24 minute song odyssey. And i give lessons and play shows with my band too so this isnt just my opinion

[shredacuda]

@kidwithguitar Well sir, your wrong....the guy is a great player, i'm not saying anything bad about him. But Gilbert's vocabulary is soooo much bigger than Romeo's. And Paul is a very humble guy, of course he's going to say he's not as good at something.But there is nothing he can't do. Listen to any of the classical pieces he's done. A lot of arpegiation and he's spot on. the guy is redonkulous.

[kidwithguitar]

@shredacuda well then you just havent seen michael romeos full display of skills and abilities, cant argue with the uninformed

[xXxAn0nYmOuSxXx]

@kidwithguitar talking about paul gilbert ofcourse

[xXxAn0nYmOuSxXx]

@kidwithguitar sweeping isnt everything. it doesnt quite fit the way he plays anyway.

[dimebagdarell25]

holy shit his fingers are small but yet hes a beast wtf?

[thehendley]

my hero and idol

[JonRattlehead]

[wayfechylde3]

[Opethitis]

[seth3556r]

Yeah I'm playing with you mi amigo. lol

[MortaniusTaijou]

Romeo kicks ass!!! Yes I agree he is more technically advanced than Yngwie but musically they both are of equal awesomeness!

[scarfr156]

[koen37]

[mantva00992]

[Mehdieval]

i had the chance to meet him, and talk to him

[osassamutema]

lol two halfs of the same: MR & YM

[bakkersyx]

frank gambale did!

[STONEHELL666]

if i didn'e see the vid ,i'm guessing that yngwie is playing.these guys has the same style.

[yosrimrassi]

hi, sorry, but i would like to answer this, michael romeo is 1000X better than malmsteen. He's full of technics, melodies.... booof

[iruv20001]

yeah ok ok sure why not

[Kjutte1]

1000? Nah. I love Michael, and he is indeed better than yngwie (and composes crazy great solos!) But yngwie is technically a very good player also. 100% clean.

[krysiekessen]

they are both good ones but

as stonehell666 said they have a very very similar style of playing !!!

i wouldnt say this one or this one is better till i dont have seen a battle between them !!!

[evhgl87]

have no idea why the hell you are getting thumb downs. its true. remeo has more diversity than malmsteen technically speaking.

as far as the music is concerned, i like them both!

[yosrimrassi]

Emm... This thumbs business is nonesense! i mean we discuss and we share opinions. But it ok, gimme more thumbs! i'm a guitarist and personnaly Malmasteen gave me nthg, Romeo he did help me.

[evhgl87]

thumbs up! =D

[guitarman2116]

must be Yngwie J Malmsteen's co worker at McDonalds

[Dreamscapevirus]

haha i like both of those guys but thats some funny shit "im lovin' it!"

[metlguitar02]

lmao

[TheGoddessInanna]

I love this guy

[LordElmoII]

not exactly soul-less since all music involves the soul but a serious rip of malmsteens technique,its still good but its very arpeggio orientated,which draws the similarity to malmsteen

[betterthansex123]

I hate to break this to you, but malmsteen didn't invent the arpeggio.

[LordElmoII]

obviously not,where in my comment does it even mention malmsteen inventing anything?! learn to read before you try to outsmart someone please. and unless your deaf you will notice malmsteen's music,like Micheal Romeo's are highly arpeggio orientated hence the similarity,no where in my comment is the invention of the arpeggio mentioned,since that would be quite impossible to singularly place on someone,now unless you can actually argue the english of my comment with me i suggest you stay quiet

[stealth1600]

There are some similarities with Yngwie but it doesn't sound anything like him.

[DavefromTinj]

soul-less, but wicked bad

[master241520]

esta muy padre veanlo

[WillHammerhead]

he reminds me of yngwie malmsteen

[Cuproll]

Totally!!He even looks like a fatter version of Yngwie!! LOL!! Sorry for being cocky ..but i heard this millions of times B4 from Malmsteen...guitarists like this has a lack of innovation in their play...so basically doesn't impress me much!!

(the reason i watched it? Cause someone sent me a link with a recommendation 2 watch this :| )

[senescencia]

shut up, this guy play very good, you must have respect, kid, dont matter if he is tinny or fag, is about music, and its sounds clean and great, you can play better? NO, and never you will, you lets shut up fucking idiot

[Cuproll]

?!I didn't say he is a Fag!!(?)U said that!! :|

Besides...i was playing like that when i was 12...im out of that "show off no feeling cold blooded soul less play"!!Im feeling the notes !!And most important I GOT MY OWN STYLE i don't sound like Malmsteen!!U know Malmsteen?! NO?! Then U shut up..cause u r a new breed that's just talking up that S without any knowledge or clue!!And YT is the playground for morons like U!!

[astraltrancer303]

how you spoke english??

[landocalrrissian]

if you can play like that show it...because i dont believe you...and maybe sounds like malmsteen, but he is even better in tecnique and speed...but malsteen has more feeling...they both have to learn things from each other

[qqryq90]

he's the proof that the length of finger doesn't matter

[EPILPROCKER]

That's what she said...

Sorry, had to throw that one out there...

[jairoos]
