Witold 'Vitek' Kieltyka

[MutilateMyself]

I'm a Guitarist but EVERY TIME I hear a Decapitated song (Spheres of Madness, Three Dimensional Defect, Days 69 etc) I want to be a drummer and start air drumming them bass pedals an all... haha I must looks nuts doing it at work.

Rip Brother!

[drummerdude0515]

may the two people who disliked this get fucked by hitler in hell!

[dolguldur6]

RIP, tremendous respect.

[johnlynchjnr]

I am from Ireland. I love deathmetal, especially Polish deathmetal. It was bad enough when Doc from Vader died but now Vitek is also gone. European deathmetal continues to suffer. RIP Doc and Vitek

[Baizas34]

Right at the end.. I wanted to cry ._. Rip Vitek, may we meet again..

[EmanueleFerro]

Vitek On Drums , Cliff Burton On Bass , On Lead Guitar Dimebag Darrell and On Vocals and Rhythm Guitar Chuck Schuldiner... The Metal Band In HEAVEN !

[LazyBiebsStopMotion]

vitek is one of my biggest idols for drumming. as well as the new drummer for decapitated. both vitek and krimh are incredible drummers. decapitated lives on. in a different way.

vitek is irreplaceable. but, they found someone that will fill the decapitated spot quite well.

[ThePampararampam]

Great Man with Passion.

[DropKickDaPanda]

rip Vitek! u will be missed!

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

Charming bit of Latin at the end there.

[schmorganic]

Dead or Alive, I want Vitek behind Decapitated's drums, nobody else.

They made epic death metal masterpieces which got stuck in your mind, one by one.

Compared to The Negation, Nihility and OH,

none of the riffs from 'Carnival is Forever' is worth being labeled 'Decapitated'.

Vitek RIP (Perhaps Decapitated rip as well..)

BUT I'M STILL GLAD I'M SEEING THEM ON AUGUST 14th!!!

Kind Regards

[nafetsuidivo]

@schmorganic So,you are wrong dude

[schmorganic]

@nafetsuidivo I told you my opinion. what can be wrong about that? No matter who wrote the music (i didn't even mention that), they used to have better riffs.. I think this album kinda sucks, compared to their other albums. compared to justin bieber it kick ass!! I do still love decapitated, but mainly for what they have written in the past.

kind regards x

now shut up, you've made no point at all

[Chaskas2008]

He will be always my favourite drummer! Miss ya so much Vitek! lml

[asxetos666]

Another reason why not to believe in god. Why did vitek had to die so young? R.I.P anyway...

[IIEasyLivingII]

its weird seeing him with a full head of hair then to bald D:

but goddman man. r.i.p

[galaxyxgamer]

this made me tear up,:'( this drummer is legendary, the best drummer,his songs will live on forever, one of the best polish drummers. decapitated is amazing there is noone that could ever in a MILLION AND 1 years that could ever take viteks place, krimh might be awsome, but vitek was a god!!!!!! R.I.P VITEK, you deserve it brother... worst death ever next to dimebag

[draugsvoll01]

@galaxyxgamer ...and Chuck Schuldiner.

[TheSnakesandskulls]

@galaxyxgamer And Burton too :/

[MetallicOpeth]

he was such an amazing drummer

[InHellWithTraitors]

madcatmotions did you know vitek? :(

[asxetos666]

I want vitek back! :'(

[Hheawy]

Died at age of 23... oh the humanity. Hopefully Krimh will be their drummer till the end of the days

[BadassAnons]

Who da fuck cares about vitek?? The rev passed away!!! :(

[LambOvGodMan]

@BadassAnons hope you get raped on the way home tonight.

[srprasad]

@BadassAnons u immature shitface...how can u hold the rev's death over vitek's death ? u sick human.....the fact is both died...period..RIP

[WETHEBELIEVERS]

@BadassAnons Ummm Vitek was WAYYYY BETTER. WTF is wrong with you

[Gluthinator]

@BadassAnons are you not touched? :s he was one of the best and if you see those pics and the love that most people had for him , the way you send this message is selfish and careless. if you don't feel anything when you see this . then you don't care about people , so FUCK OFF!!!

[GageSilbery1]

@BadassAnons I like Vitek better but that doesnt mean im going to disrespect the rev, why cant you do the same

[noconflictbanana]

@BadassAnons

Lol you fucking a7x fanboy, A7X IS NOWHERE NEAR TECHNICAL DEATH METAL, IF YOU COMAPARE A7X TO DECAPITATED ,YOU ARE FUCKING DUMB.

[psycrophagist731]

@BadassAnons dude , your opinion on drummers is your opinion , but this video is about Vitek. don't come on here talking about the Rev and saying who cares about Vitek. i'm not sure that you would like it being that i went on an Avenged Sevenfold video saying who cares about The Rev because Vitek is dead. it's common sence. it's just something that you don't do.

[PrawdziwyMuzykaZycie]

@BadassAnons Who the fuck would care if YOU died in a car accident? Worthless fucking shit.

[ChewbaccaFetus]

did he have cancer, or did he just decide to cut his hair? is that why he died? and he will be missed.

[drummerdude0515]

@ChewbaccaFetus he died in a tour bus accident idk why he decided to cut his hair

[ChewbaccaFetus]

@drummerdude0515 ohh ok. thanks. wow that sucks. SOOO YOUNG. r.i.p vitek.

[ClonedInsanity18]

@drummerdude0515 Not completely sure but I think it was 'cause of the conscription thing. 

[HDpAnIC]

@ChewbaccaFetus it was a bus accident...

[Sk3tch22]

great video

[Seign420]

Unfortunately I became familiar with decapitated after his death. Just came by to drop respect for Witold. Incredible band, and by the pictures, I can only assume he was a caring good man. Hails to you Witold and Decapitated, your metal is eternal \m/ Sometimes it just seems the brightest flames burn out the quickest...

[wicked1337zn]

life is cruel...at the age of 23 ???fuck it !

[MrBoottz]

R.I.P Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka

[LOLBROTIMETOLUL]

It's stuff like this that makes me re evaluate my religious opinions. Why him? And why was he so unknown to everyone? Fuck the world. Fuck this world for what it did to this band and what it did to music - making it based purely on business, and not the music

[JohnAdamosGr]

R.I.P ;( 

[XboxFreak901]

i can ever hope 2 b 1/10 the drummer he was

[PureHayabusa]

R.I.P vitek

[PityTheHuman]

Why the fuck does someone so great and talented have to pass? Why does this happen when corrupt politicians, people with no will to live, or anyone who lives like an asshole always have long lives? It makes me so fucking mad when I see someone with such beautiful skill and personality have to leave us. I just hope Vitek knows how much we love him as a musician and a person. I'd take his place anyday. Rest in peace, brother \m/

[MrMetalCookie]

@PityTheHuman I completely agree with you. Seems like the best people leave us too soon

[wicked1337zn]

@PityTheHuman yea bro and remember! he's not the only talented person that passed away...what about dimebag..what about cliff burton..what about chuck schuldiner?...life is cruel..rip vitek...rip all of them talented musicians that passed away...way to early..

[PSNautical]

will hid kid follow his steps?

[SuperDeerdance]

It is a Tragic Loss he is one of the greatest & he always will be

R.I.P Witold 'Vitek' Kieltyka

(January 24, 1984 – November 2, 2007)

[GrowlingVocals]

this is a wrong soundtrack

there shouldve been one of their songs so that he were remembered like a metalhead

[joshgraff2553]

it's really a shame because i didnt realize how good of a drummer he was until after he was gone. even their older albums still meet the bar of good death metal even by modern standards. He truly was ahead of his time

[eraser979]

R.I.P VITEK,DRUM LEGEND

[Yggdra666]

2 Dislikes for a Legend? Show some respect damnit..

R.I.P. Vitek.. youre one of my greatest inspirations..

[6Shawn6Crahan6]

Questions:

How old?

how did he dies?

and from wich band?

because Fuckin' Wikipedia wont give answers -.-

[2scrimble9]

@6Shawn6Crahan6 Born in 1984, bus accident, Decapitated. search with Witold Kieltyka

[BubbaMetal]

he was a father?

[WretchedDrummer]

Rest In Peace brother \m/ \m/

i'm sure u are jamming out with Dimebag Darrell Cliff Burton and Randy Rhodes..

[feidtublec]

@WretchedDrummer

Maybe with Chuck Shouldiner, perhaps...

That would be a kickass death metal jam!

[xXxBushii]

WHY MUST KICK ASS DRUMMERS DIE YOUNG!

[tormentor923]

R.I.P. Vitek the best drummer in the world!

[Cjfoley96]

i got a bit teary

[Vainin1]

Man sucks losing such a great artist. I was looking through drumming vids and found stuff on vitek and notice i havent listen to decapitated for a while. Stupid question i know but how did he pass again?

[TheThrasher94]

@Vainin1 A crash involving another band, one of their support bands I think. A terrible tragedy, a man who achieved more in 23 years than many will in their entire lives

[Vainin1]

@TheThrasher94 Yeah I know.....23 years old.... i cant imagine

[NuMetalGrunge]

damn..... damn

[SamuraiZach0]

Vitek is God...

[gotalor]

RIP  Vitek, great drummer \m/

[slipknot938337338]

[death2trendyfuks]

vitek was the man, RIP best drummer decapitated ever had or will.

[varulv234]

Does the bassist even need the 6-string?

[MetalBestia]

RIP... GREAT ARTIST...

[666Xombi]

i cry everytime i see vitek he is a god to me rest in peace you are missed everyday by many and me

[kuladrumm]

szacunek dal Ciebie Vitek, zawsze za Tobą

RIP Vitek you were the worlds greatest drummer \m/

[brnsktingdieskting18]

...i seriously cried when i heard of his death on the metalscape podcast in ''07....he's irreplaceable

[frostbittenguy]

people in this world dont realize how much some people mean to them until they are gone but no, vitek was always important! R.I.P.!

[HeyYoKillEmo]

Amazing.Wish I could have met the guy.Great vid.

[MetalHead420100]

i fuckin hate it when great musicians die in metal that are so awesome. R.I.P Vitek. i was getting a little teary, but not crying.

[Bostonbird733]

rip vitek. hail polish metal! \m/

[ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

rip

[fuckamerica109]

i still cant believe that guy fucking died when was only 23 years old. Such a terrible tradgedy, really makes you think about stuff. But hell, eventually that could become the normal age to die, with all the increasing cancer rates and whatnot. R.I.P.

[mrshef666]

such a tragedy :( R.I.P Brother \m/ does anyone have any news on Covan?

[GeorgeUnheaded]

ala madre la foto donde sale en la Playa de Cd. Madero (tamaulipas, Mexico) me conmociona no chinguen ala madre, BEST DRUMMER EVER!

[thefeepy]

Very nice. Very moving. Good job.

[101MPT]

R.I.P Witold Kiełtyka

[Ehb42021]

Although it had to end terribly, Vitek lived a completely successful life. When someone dies, the only thing that could ever keep their name alive, is a mark theyve made on the world. Vitek made his fucking mark in the world of death metal and drumming. Vitek was a fucking machine that will never be forgotten in the metal world, the world that mattered to him most. He had accomplished his goal and succeeded in life. We have to keep this in mind whenever we are reminded of this tragic accident.

[hyrael2]

2:56 is.... no word.

[SweatyDinosaurMask]

That nearly brought me to tears, man

[clottoyup]

@hyrael2 aw dam, that was painful.

[maciekapocaliptic]

@hyrael2

Picture in 2:55 - 2:59 is so so so taking breath away

[ihaveyoureyelids]

@hyrael2 why is the world so fucked up...

[MetallicOpeth]

@hyrael2 :( I know huh, just so sad,.

RIP VITEK!

[hyrael2]

God, this video just make me cry.

[ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

seeing the pic with his kid was so sad

[ThePlaguedRaven]

R.I.P Vitek. At least you reached Legendary status before you passed. Cheers.

[assassin1161]

R.I.P Vitek. A drummer who inspired all. His legacy will be carried on with his music.

[MINIWHEAT70]

And today would've been his 26th birthday!

R.I.P. Vitek!

[Gatoperez]

I was waiting with expectation for the next Decapitated album when i read about his death,in my opinion Organic allucinosis breaks with all the death metal created before, a perfect combination of napalm Death and Pantera. When i hear that they were looking for a drummer for continue with the band i try to learn his songs and to developate his style, but its impossible. My brother you were destinate to be the gretest of all, and you are the fucking greatest. A lot of love to your family and frie

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@Gatoperez

I think Krimh will do a fine job of making decapitated great again

but you cant dis the original,

DOnt doubt Krimh though =]

[spurious]

Really awful time and way to go.

Such a shame.

Rest in Peace.

[adrianastudent]

His daughter is super smart, beautiful and she is very much like he was. And she looks like him a lot ... .... I guess God needed the best drummer for his band ...

[Chairmaneoin]

How old is she? I can't imagine she'd be more than a few years old considering Vitek was 23 when he died.

Also did you know him and his family, would be good to hear how they are doing now.

[SeedOfCannibalism]

Chuck, Vitek and Cliff have made the greatest band ever in metal heaven

[Chairmaneoin]

Cliff Richard's not dead yet...

[SeedOfCannibalism]

I mean the Metallica bass player

[Chairmaneoin]

ah fair enough, but i think it'd be way cooler with Vitek, Chuck NORRIS and Cliff Richard once they're dead. Vitek on drums, Chuck Norris on fists and roundhouse kicks and Cliff Richard making them all look better in comparison.

[Mthrok]

Cliff Burton

[nofashionvideos]

what?

[swisskicks]

sorry that wasnt me, my friend likes to use my youtube account and troll, vitek was one of my favorite drummers of all time, ill remove that comment

[Ehb42021]

@Mthrok Nah, this is Vitek.

[buriedinacradle]

R.I.P Vitek you will always be an influence to metal....

[KerayZ]

Snuffed out in his prime.

[caca98019]

omfg he was a father?

[hyrael2]

Yes he was :(

[kibbson]

I genuinely cried when he died. I love Decapitated so much. And what's more, all the other talentless pricks (not saying any names) get to live on. It's not right man :'(

RIP dude, you'll still be making be go "holy shit!" at your drumming, even beyond the grave.

[desolateroom]

damn this is sad...

[RetakeTheVoid]

Anybody know how Vitek is pronounced? Is it Vee-tek?

[madcatmotions]

Yes, that is correct. I initially thought it was pronounced 'V-eye-tek'.

[RetakeTheVoid]

Thanks.

Fuck, why did it have to be him. And @ 2:56, I never knew he had a kid, now I feel 10x worse.

[phenix370]

easily one of the, in my opinion the number 1, top 5 greatest drummers of all time.

such a shame... so many great musicians die so young. this one hurt the world of death metal

Sadly, there is no greater meaning. He died because people take the most dangerous activity for granted - driving.

Why must all the great Polish drummers die? RIP Vitek and Docent.
