Rusty Cooley-Under the Influence

[loombaron]

a day of this guy: wake up, brakefast then shred. Go for a walk, get back home and shred, then dinner shred and go to sleep

[joedude39553]

Sounds like a video game stuck on fast forward

[ProgRockMickyV2]

This video is awesome, but I wish they'd stop advertising Jaqueline Mannering's videos! the girl just cannot PLAY!

[1madaboutguitar]

@ProgRockMickyV2 I know she's impossibly scrappy and plays the most disastrous bends lol.

[RonnieJamesDio666]

@HillaryHitler dude rusty is way better than that guy. Rusty can play anything in the world if he wants to

[TerminusCOBHC]

I love all the whiny cunts who say Rusty has "no talent" simply because he plays fast. Fucking weak whores like unhandledException1 should just resign themselves to playing video games and listening to red hot chili peppers. Quit hating on Rusty simply because he can play more notes in one minute and fourteen seconds than you can play in your entire sad fucking life. Anyone who hates on a skilled player simply because he's fast is someone who, themselves, clearly sucks balls at playing fast.

[robertbombino999]

@TerminusCOBHC fuck ya man rusty is amazing

[animalcrackers666]

hahaha @ bend.

hmm, at least its all clean.

[DTPetrucci123490th]

the only part he messes up on is the simple bend lol

[justinmx320]

He needs to wear the helmet while he shreds :D

[unhandledException1]

no melody, no harmony. aside from lightning fast fingers ..no talent what so ever ..

[SergeyEremeev]

@unhandledException1 hehe

[swob0]

@unhandledException1 Deaf?

[HillaryHitler]

@unhandledException1

I agree with you, NOTHING BUT HYPER SPEED nonsense. Guys like Allan Holdsworth tear these young shred heads a new ass.

[distortionpf]

his fingers move to fast for youtube

[TCFBbob]

is that a Deltron mask?

[Bfmvmichael]

I can play that with my toes :)

[YocoN]

How can anyone play that clean? D:

[TheFigueroa007]

THIS MAN IS A ROBOT W/ NO SOUL, BUT HE'S THE SHIT.

[yarow122]

Heaven had better sound like this!

[0zzyfan44]

I see the influence tonight!!!

[loljustinbiber]

losers get a life 

[5amuu]

Yeah, he can shred the shit out of pretty much anyone. But can he write a decent song, or even a decent solo? Nope.

[ShredderEric]

@5amuu Listen to his music before judging, a few good songs : "Prelude to madness" , War Cry - Outworld, Riders - Outworld, Outworld - Outworld. (P.S Outworld is a band Rusty was in before they broke up)

[WorldPaintedBlood97]

@5amuu he can actually listen to the band Outworld =)

[dimeowns100]

Never seen him play a jackson before! (buys jackson 7 string)

[BSCLOUDY]

@dimeowns100 Yeah dude before he was assigned a custom 7 by Dean he rocked the Jackson and Conklins

[christiansabian]

AWESOME



[elcocodrilorob]

All RC is garbage, sorry i tried to not hate but this is garbage. if he is past the point to where this is the only thing to keep his interest he needs to find a new hobbie. and no i cant play it so eat a dick. i dont have to put my cock in a vise to know it hurts.

[mrEmu7]

@elcocodrilorob Then by all means, get the hell out, we don't need dribble from peasants like you clogging up the comment board when it could be filled with useful input and conversation.

[shani7899]

@mrEmu7 Well said my friend :)

[madmadammwayne]

Players love this kinda stuff because its just awesome to see how far people can go with guitar. The advice I would to all who dont think that this dude cant write songs check out his band. You dont dig that then look for insperation elsewhere. I have played fo 12 years now love the shred,but I like songs more all i want to see is people appreciate the players talent and dedication.

[MonsterMetalMusic]

@madmadammwayne whats his band called?

[VMP007]

@MonsterMetalMusic Outworld

[dimeowns100]

@madmadammwayne Dude, you're like, the anti-troll haha :D

[MrShredtilldead]

Whats truely sick about this? He is going slow...I have personally seen him play much faster then this...that is what is truely sick about this video.

[monkey1011]

like.....what the fuck. seriously, the fuck? that almost juss pisses me off

[d4nd34c0n]

What a wanker.

[MegaYoshitsune]

I think he's under the inlfuence of steroids.

[TauruVikingur]

One of my favorite Rusty videos...sounds awesome....

[soapy945]

got boring and repetitive after 10 seconds in. . .. why the hell was this in my reccomended list?

[MrShredtilldead]

@soapy945 because your recommened list is trying its hardest to educate an idiot...clearly its not working. Don't give up recommend list! One day Soapy945 here will see the error and ignorance of his ways...Cooley is the shredder God!

[soapy945]

@MrShredtilldead Wow. . . so basically what you are saying is that i am a idiot for having my own opinion? And what makes me laugh is that you are trying to trash talk someone on youtube, did i personally insult the guy. no. Did i mention anything about his skill. . .no i dont think so, i merely stated my opinion about the video. I have never heard of this guy before therefore i checked it out, and i didnt like it.

[MrShredtilldead]

@soapy945 Of course you insulted Rusty Cooley. You stated his playing bored you after 10 seconds. direct comment on his skill. And the fact you ask why the hell is this video even be on your recommened playlist is nothing but a hoity toity attitude. As if this video is not good enough to be on your list. Your comments are stupid. As if you could play anything as fast as this in the first place, let alone making it be not (as you say) boring and repetitive. You suck and you know it. Go and die.

[soapy945]

@MrShredtilldead Yes i stated it boring so how do you interpret that as me insulting his skill. The man can play circles around 99.9% of the planets other guitarists, just the style of music does not appeal to me and therefore boring to me, And what does my playing skill have to do with anything, I cant cook a 5 star meal but i know when i dont like something when i try it. the same principle is appilied here. But there is not point explaining myself to someone who has a one track mind.

[spitboi7]

@MrShredtilldead Wrong dude, I am a huge fan of Rusty, he is a guitar god...but this song bored the shit out of me, I mean after watching this clip I instantly bought it years ago and it turned out to be 7 minutes of boredom...

[prsguy14]

the best part was from 0:00 to 1:14

[wishing4nate]

I'd love to see Rusty Cooley and Michael Angelo Batio square off one of these days. I'd watch that shit on Pay-Per-View, that's for damn sure.

[Shivemaster]

damn, he didnt even get out of his pajamas yet and hes already shredding

[6Vital6Remains6]

@Shivemaster It's a onesy!

[ipersupermasterman]

guitar genius

[brandoncarrier1]

his new guitars have all the same body and everything like the jackson

[custommustangak]

is that a 7 string?

[m0nj3]

@custommustangak yes

[hatemorethanyou999]

still likes his Jackson i see.

[musicForYourFace]

one of the best guitarists out there, but god looks as if he lives with his mom still haha look at his room

[MrSwisher666]

Jesus fucking christ you are a god. I wanna see a battle of chris from asp and this guy.

[ConnorPurkett]

@MrSwisher666

Chris actually took lessons from Rusty.

[hurjastilpsi]

Rusty Cooley , you are god.

[orararaorarara]

my band (((Furthest Krueger)))

Please retrieve it with youtube.

[r3c3]

id love to see him play against herman li! that would be sick

[NisseEricsson]

@r3c3 Herman Ri would die just by being in the same room as Rusty.

[HeapyLovesMetallica]

@r3c3 too bad herman sucks now anyway

[Shezzle]

GAY

[ImSorryDearJuliet]

damn you're good!! rock on!!

[ExtremeBogom]

awesome

[bodomcovers09]

amazing!!!!!

[064panik]

could someone please subscribe to my profile, and listen to my videos of me playing guitar and let me know what i need to improve on? id like to get to the point where i can play neo classical....

[scarromeo]

omfg rusty is fast as hell

[Inblut]

guitarmaestro078

Super wise words!!

[guitarmaestro078]

He is really good and everything but I cant get into shit like that because there is absolutely no emotion. Once you get to a certain speed you start to become more timely than emotive.

It bores me... its amazing to see, but to hear... ehhh

[xlr8ter4]

Agreed!

[brandon9966]

yeah, he needs bends... vibrato... and.... something different? lol

[jonathanbenaroche]

OMG! the guitar is bleeding!!!!!

[5959512]

vagina

[brandoncarrier1]

can you read?

[Solek006]

That man is so fucking good!

[dilharre]

LMAO, dude... no... fail..

[TheRealAchilleZ]

@bizzmarky76 I agree completely.

[BEY0NDWARD]

Rusty Cooley consumes that guitar with fire...

[awall2468]

lol it sez at the end its him tard

[anewillss]

@BaryMary ?? this is rusty

[petiethepitt]

ha,ha,Ya think,lol

[boomerguitarkaos]

boomerguitar boomerguitar boomerguitar boomerguitar BOOMERGUITAR YOUTUBE VIDEO 1,2,3

[Pegamush]

ahahaha 1:00 makes me LOOOOOOL

[fattirevsbud]

Someone's gonna have to tell them that a guitar played way too fast sounds like a computer lol

[MortaniusTaijou]

1:13 minutes of a 6:59 minutes song.

Listen to the full one, and really then you change many, many pants. lol

Rusty is a God, and my teacher! hahaha :D

[ottomohr69]

most of the shit is sweeping

[digittydog]

I don't comment much on Youtube. I am also not a fast electric player. Rusty is one of the very fastest scale and arpeggio pickers from any genre anwhere. I've been wondering about his left hand... The fingers raise far off the fingerboard sometimes. Perhaps this isn't the best video to show it. But in some acses it's inches! How does he play so fast while doing that? Just goes to show that whatever works and sounds good, IS good. We don't have to copy the technique of others to succeed

[EntanglementSatan]

guess you haven't heard about Michael Angelo Batio.

[Benji939]

Michael Angelo Batio does have a good theory about how to play fast, and in most cases it is correct, but I have to agree with digittydog. I am suprised also that rusty cooley can play so fast with so much movement. Whatever works best for you is what you should do, obviously.

[hydrael1]

Until a week ago i would totaly agree with you,

that rusty is one of the fastest players there is

considering the difficulty of the stuff he plays

(4 notes per string and etc.).

I was checking last week the dead stredder contest videos i saw a guy that he didnt even get at top fifty which is the fastest and cleaner

i have ever seen

/watch?v=F2qG0PgBbW8

check the arps at 0:40

they are totaly imposible by any standard

the only other as fast i have seen is frascesco fareri but he sounds awful.

[digittydog]

Obviouosly skilled and has practiced alot. I saw this guy on the internet about a year ago. Very fast. Can't comment on the quality or notes because who can hear individual notes at this guy's top speeds? Is this guy in a successful metal band yet?

[digittydog]

Daniel Owen that is.

[hydrael1]

i discovered him very resently and

i havent the time to research yet..

i just found he is in a band called "triaxis"

but i have not heard anything from them.

i hope he becomes known, i really like the fact that

he actually can right some melody and he is not shreding 100% of the time.

but seriously i cant understand how some people can move their fingers that fast,

i can play 18-20 nps and its my limit, cant move my fingers faster, and some guys seems they can double that..

[Andoni666]

yes outworld

[TrampMasterFlash]

My balls just exploded O_O.

[soapy945]

i guess its ok if your into this sort of thing. . .

[dolincalgard]

yeah I guess it is only ok. If you're a fucking idiot.

[soapy945]

right so someone gives an opinion and you feel the need to insult them??? its not my thing i didnt go OMG THIS GUY FUCKING BLOWS cos its not my style did i. Ive got nothing against the guy the video came up on my recommended list i had a look and didnt like it. so grow up yeah?

[dolincalgard]

yeah dude...I'm sorry.

I don't even know what my problem was that day. I let my mood be an ass to you. I'm not actually an ass hole I swear hahaha. I am sorry for real though. it was uncalled for.

[soapy945]

no worries

[ThrashDeth17]

DAMNIT! Now I've got to go change my pants!

[bucket12344]

omg! that was  SEX!

[joakkofull]

omg !!!

[ObeyYourMaster1001]

WOW 0:49 to 0:59 was fucking cool

[stevemaster247]

WOW 0:00 to 1:13 was fucking cool! :P

[OSCARTHRASHER]

for a second to me he looked like chuck schuldiner of death

[imlucas599]

oh god to 1:07 and on. I wish i was him, i wouldnt care about anything else

[thinmachtfrei]

ha more like 0:49 i wish i was him,thats all id do!!!!:)

[666jet]

@imlucas599 this is a very homo-erotic statement... also, that's what she said...

[imlucas599]

@666jet lol....nice one

[MrShredtilldead]

@imlucas599 I hear you...I wouldn't eve care about women anymore...and I know what you will all say...thats gay...and yest I would be...gay for the guitar if i could play like that...

[Yngwie2112Matarrese]

its pretty cool, a little to much on the practice exercise sound for me, it sounds like he writes music without playing, like pick some scales that go together and go fast. im sure he can do some really graceful shit but maybe in a couple years.

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

This is his most 'shreddy' song, he has some more gracefull stuff out there, check out his solo in the song Warcry by his band outworld, its really awesome and has its own unique feel to it. He also did a phenominal guest solo on the song 'so far away' by all shall perish, the last few mins of that song contains some of the most beautiful phrasing I have heard all year!

[ProppeShred07]

Amazing technique but like no melodic feel man

That's why I dig Jeff Loomis' solo shit so much... Miles of Machines makes me cream

[anutoldlegend89]

Yeah I LOVE Jeff Loomis

[lovepuremetal5]

i love Jeff Loomis too.

[Matthiasknorke]

Yeah I fuck Jim Loomis every Night

[SnipinG1337]

Its Jeff

[SteveVai16]

e' l' antimusica per diamine,,,

[MrSalamander7]

The screen saver in the background was a nice touch.

[TranceWulf]

When u know that much technique and practice that long id show it off in my music as well :P

[FearlessSpinner]

I bet he's not living with his parents

I think his parents live with him!Its always an honor to your parents if you pay the house they live in.

Its like giving back what they gave to you when you were younger!

[Sirmalice192837]

saying all that must mean ur a parent :o

[GetReide]

Technique = great

Musical value = zero :(

[acorn9345678]

thats how i feel bout michael angelo batio...his stuff puts me too sleep

[soapy945]

Couldnt of put it better myself :)

[MetalChild96]

he is just amazing!!! cant fins any word for how awesome he is!

[HighRevCars]

yer i agree this is kinda hard to listen to. by the way. he looks like he still lives with his parents

[johnjohnjohn222]

Dont think he does! Married with kids, touring the americas with outworld (his band).

[ctsbro1]

damn buckethead still wins!!!

[bastardsofdecent92]

It's too chromatic for my taste, this guy has amazing speed and shred ability, but the stuff he plays is so unmusical and crap, the material he plays does not give him justice

[ibanezbloke]

Honestly - his tunes sound better to me than batio's ever will

[bastardsofdecent92]

Fair dos lol, I don't like all MAB tbh, i just don't like any Rusty :P, the lesser of two evils if you will :P

[slimjim6469]

What.

The.

Fuck.

[adisharr]

Ok he's very good technically but who in the hell can listen to this drivel for more than a minute or so?

[Theskyuser]

I can do it every day lol :D

[UnpopularPoppy]

Me. I can listn to alot of his stuff all in a row

[adisharr]

Maybe it's my age - I'm old and fast notes confuse me :-P

[destroytheoppistion]

"like dragon force"

LMFAO LMFAO

[ark1671919]

is it just me or does all his songs start 2 sound the same like dragonforce.

[Strike93nl]

Is that MF Doom's helmet in the background?

[WheatDream]

lol yeah it is

[wisd0m18]

his guitar is so big

[dannydmangillz]

i like this guy :P

[shredriot]

he is amazing, any guitar player who says they wouldn't want to be able to do that is lying

[joeydahlia]

Um This is a horrid video

[Megacorpses]

This is why... you suck dick. Do you listen to the Black Dahlia Murder? They're killer.

[bls0sdmf89]

how the fuck does he do that

[alconsirra]

I'm not really into the whole flashy guitar shredding thing. As impressive as it is it really isn't that interesting as music imho. I'd rather listen to some good rhythm guitar playing or maybe something with a melody.

[panzersex707]

i disagree, sure there are parts were its just insanity basically just playing notes really fast that if you played them slower they sound like shit, but there can be some riffs that actually are just really good like at about eight to twelve seconds sound good. though this is a poor example of really nice shredding

[billaustinireland]

This is fantastic though personally I prefer Rory Gallagher and SRV

[IndianMetalhead]

holy fuck. that was amazing \m/

[u52zay84]

my band (((Furthest Krueger)))

Please retrieve it with youtube.

[Matthiasknorke]

this sounds like shit to anyone who listens to real music cause this sounds like the first super mario game though he's playing fucking awesome.I think it would just be boring to listen to this stuff for more than five minutes

[ibanezbloke]

I usually dislike these speed for the sake of speed type players - but I actually think this guys music sounds cooler than paul gilberts of MAB's!

[Avatar1178]

not paul gilberts music! definitely better than MAB's though.

[wastedredhead]

true

[lordguitarist]

maybe if your real music taste is gay bands like the joonas bro's

now get the fuck off the video you pansy

[joeydahlia]

haha you aint kidding..this is what I have been trying to say..this is what killed guitar in the late 80's

[kzrrz]

You mean "killed" into a subjetive way.

"Nothing is destroyed, only transformed"

[joeydahlia]

So this is a step up from Malmsteen..Lynch,Bratta ....Oliva

hahahahaha!!!

[kzrrz]

It depends from where you see it. If you think more speed is better, this would be able to fit on your phrase

[joeydahlia]

So your saying the faster the better!!!

[joeydahlia]

I am 41 years old and I see this guitar video as 1 of the worse guitar videos ever!

[kzrrz]

It's ok, others would see it like awesomeness. i like it and i know there are better guitar videos

[joeydahlia]

Listen to it 5 times...then you will change your mind..lol

[UnpopularPoppy]

you obviously are joking or have no common sense. I would hope the first option because this man shows exceptional talent.

[TimJMorrison]

Ha, old man!

No good, too fast for you.

[dazfli]

your a fucking asshole

[Phailure365]

fuck no. there isnt a step up form Oliva.
