  • i feel like this video could be retitles: 'and then there was pownage."

  • Syu es un guitarrista fenomenal... Fijense in The Awakening, its the impossible Solo 2:55

  • Kuplainen=energetic, Syu=HOLY CRAP

  • syu es mejor,solo hay que oir el nuevo album. es mas en los solos del album resurrection se supera.. solo porque Matias sea de stratovarius (un clásico del power metal) no quiere decir que sea mejor.

  • Matias knows other style other than metal, go to his own channel you will see he knows many scales and chords (I don't think Syn knows that much theory)

  • @malmsteenblackstar

    while syu focuses mainly on metal, if you watch his guitar demo videos, you'd see that he is fluent in a plethora of other styles

  • el japones syu es mejor aunque no les guste

  • The only reason I watch these "VS" videos is so I can watch 2 awesome guitarists, back to back, without having to click anything...keep 'em coming

  • videos like these are stupid. you can easily rig songs vs songs. to a more favorable one to the one you like. So until they duke it out for real in young guitar or something it's just a matter of song selections. I heard some incredible stuff by syu and i feel hes under represented in the song selection.

  • Both are awesome but I think Syu sounds best

  • SYU!!!!

  • Para Mi Syu Es mejor se Acuerdan Cuando Tocaba En Gargoyle? Era Una Mazza Loco Pero El Mejor En Este Caso Seria SheJa

  • Syu.

    He sounds like he's playing a guitar, not a synthesiser.

    Look, guitaring isn't just about technicalities, you need passion, soul, spirit.

    Compare Vai and Van Halen. Vai is the better guitarist, technically, but Van Halen is a billion times more memorable.

  • @Karmoon7 Matias Kupiainen has studied guitar myself enjoy Syu more maybe cause he has more albums out and he has passion

  • @yamiimax

    You nailed it on the head - 'passion'. A lot of Japanese artist have a lot more passion than people care for. Like Yoshiki from X Japan. Few people make drums come alive like he does. Maybe like McBrain from Maiden. It's because they play with passion.

  • Syu es mejor.ha mejorado covers de stratovarius ha hecho covers de symphony X , covers de canciones instrumentales de paul gilbert. muchos otros covers.y syu es el guitarrista mas limpio que he oido.no se que concepto teneis de limpieza.porque syu sigue siendo mas limpio.y todo lo que toca lo pica. que aun es mas dificil. matias apenas tiene feeling. a parte cada guitarra es distinta tiene distinto sonido si pones a esos 2 con la guitarra de yngwie malmsteen syu le da una paliza. por el sonido

  • They're both as original as peanut butter with jelly, but Matias has the better phrasing and really knows how to use his chops. Syu is just ridiculously unoriginal and the way he uses his shredding has been a bajillion times before.

  • Syu, he has more feeling for me. Matias is a prodigious but skills aren't all for me.

  • los solos de matias son mas armonicos y limpios que los de syu,

  • los solos de matias son mas armonicos y limpios que los de syu,

  • SYU lml

  • herman li is shit... btw matis wins

  • herman li the best

  • CREO ADEMAS Q NO ERA TIEMPO PARA COMPARAR ESTOS GUITARRISTA ESTE ES EL PRIMER DISCO DE MATIAS CON STRATOVARIUS SI PUSIERAS EL ELISYUM SERA MAS JUSTO AUN ASI CON EL POLARIS MATIAS SE MANEJO BASTANTE BIEN Y EL METAL JAPONES NUNCA A SUPERADO AL EUROPEO ESO ES UNA ESTUPIDES DE LAS MAS GRANDES EL METAL EUROPEO SIGUE SIENDO EL MEJOR EN TECNISISMO COMPOSISION LETRAS ETC.. NO DIGO Q EL METAL JAPONES SEA MALO PERO TODO LOQ TIENE SE LO DEVE AL EUROPEO Y NO SUPERA A SU PROGENITOR

  • @xexhin simplemente racismo o discriminacion, hay bandas de metal tan buenas en Japon como en cualquier otra parte del mundo, no por nada Japon es la segunda potencia en industria musical del mundo tan solo un poco por debajo de EUA

  • @mgb00xx la verdad no es racismo ni discriminacion pero en materia musical japon no tiene bandas tan buenas como europa no digo q las bandas japonesas sean malas pero no alcanzan el nivel europeo esa e sla realidad no se puede negar que los europeos siempre llevan la delantera en la musica

  • @xexhin eso es falso, solo porque europa haya comenzado el power metal. no tienen porque tener mayor nivel que otras bandas no europeas. alfinal para gustos los colores xD , pero me molesta la gente que dice que los europeos son mejor , y no se han detenido a oir a syu. (como en el duelo de jani vs syu)

  • @mgb00xx PD : no soy europeo soy latino americano asi q  soy muy imparcial al momento de hablar de europa y japon , y reitero las bandas japonesas no son malas son excelente pero el nivel europeo sigue siendo superior

  • para la gente q dice q syu hace escalas de jazz eso no es muy cierto solo hace escala de 3 dedos y una que otra ves de 4 ; aora bien matias estudio en un conservatoria de jazz y es el joven prodigio en la guitarra para los finlandeces y ya se sabe por mucho q los finlandeces son los mejores guitarristas o q por lo menos llevan la delantera me parece q el estilo de syu es muy similar al de otros en cambio matias fuiona el neoclassico con progressivo algo no muy visto

  • @xexhin yngwoe malmsteen tambien usa 2 dedos, cada uno tiene su manera de tocar. y dime que escala usa 3 dedos? que yo sepa la escala de jazz tiene muchos pentatonicismos y la pentatonica se toca con 2 dedos asi que... XD yo de jazz a matas en sus compociciones le he oido poco eh

  • @xexhin quise decir yngwie*

  • son diferentes pero matias tecnicamente es mejor y mucho mas amplio posee mayor velocidad syu es bueno mucho pero no es tan bueno tecnicamente ablando creo q la gente q dice q syu es bueno lo hace mas q nada por el favoritismo tengo todos los discos de galneryus y no tiene nada de sorprendente lo de syu asi q ampliamente prefieroa matias en la guitarra syu lo unico a favor q tiene es q es mas conocido de hay nada mas

  • @xexhin syu ha hecho covers de paul gilbert y michael romeo. asi que ya me diras si no tiene tecnica. a parte que es uno de los guitarristas mas limpios que he oido.

  • que tema es el que suena al principio???

  • @99sera Valley of the damned de Dragonforce

  • Both are fantastic players, but my vote goes to Matias, he's much more cleaner and precise than Syu is.

  • matias很好, 但是syu的創意和旋律實在太好了!

  • DragonForce at begin! -.-

  • Es medio tonto comparar a éstos dos grandes guitarristas, Syu es muy bueno en su género... Pero Matias es muy bueno en SU ESTILO, en éste momento ambos comparten un género pero sin embargo siguen siendo diferentes

  • DE KALLE SYU!!!!!!! OSEA HAY KE SABER DE METAL PRIMERO PARA PONER UNA OPINION KON EL SUFICIENTE REKONOCIMIENTO LAS ESKALAS KE HACE MATTIAS SON MUY REPETITIVAS BIEN ARMADAS ERO SIMILARES UNAS A OTRAS YSU HACE ESKALAS DE JAZZ Y PARTE DE KE ES MAS RAPIDO ES MUCHO MAS VERSATIL = TIENE DEMASIADO BUEN FEELING!!!! LO KE MATIAS LE FALLA ES DIFICIL KOMBINAR VELOCIDAD Y FEELING Y KREO KE SYU LO HACER MUY BIEN!!!

  • syu won but matias is really close to him in this video. someone knows the name of the intro btw?

  • @hngaify Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned

  • @hngaify DragonForce - Valley of the Damned

  • syuももちろんめちゃめちゃ上手いと思うけど、マティアスの上­手さとフレーズの独創性は尋常じゃないと思う。

  • @KagamiTraumend No sé si "amateur" sería la palabra... son dos maneras de tocar distintas. Syu toca con mucho feeling para los guitarristas "promedio" de Power Metal, me parece. Ojo, no digo que los otros sean malos eh! Es cuestión de gustos, nada más. No tengo nada contra Mattias ó Jani (de hecho, me gusta mucho como toca Jani). Paz. Jajaja.

  • esto es estupido mastias es mucho mejor q syu ¬¬ syu = otaku

  • @KagamiTraumend Well, you're entitled to your opinion. Personally I don't think someone using effects has anything to say about their ability. Otherwise one could argue that Hendrix was amateurish because he used a wah pedal. I also think it's unfair to judge a guitarist upon watching one of these videos. It's only a small sample of what the author of the video thinks is their best work.

  • @KagamiTraumend So... you hate shredding? Or neoclassical shred or something?

  • @KagamiTraumend Porque te gustan los pecho frío!!! Por eso no te gusta el estilo de Syu. Te gustan los guitarristas MIDI! =D

  • Both are excellent, but i like Syu´s style

  • Syu wins because japans population rapes Finlands population pretty much 100-0, but matias is better than syu, thats just how it is.

  • Syu!!!!!!!

  • SYU

  • i need the name of the intro song please

  • valley of the damned - dragonforce

  • @6xxjoshuaxx6 HAHAHA you're a fag GTFO

  • oh dude i liked the other guy i just liked timo there original guitarist best he would have won hands down serious though look up glorious aggressor live and the notes arent as shitty and there is keytar

  • SYU .. he is one of the best

  • I hate long intros. Great music anyway ;)

  • with syu it is incredibly hard to beat him in technical skill oh and if you think this is all he has look up glorious aggressor or under threat and on the creative side look at Alsatia the other dude is still pretty amazing

  • Syu > Matias

    Galneryus > Stratovarius

  • matias = famous

    syu = ??????????

  • @drauko0

    just for ppl who knows somthing ...i guess u dont

  • @drauko0 It's all relative, really. Besides, notoriety has absolutely nothing to do with talent. For example, ever heard of Andy James? Probably not. But he's certainly better than a lot of people you have heard of. I guess my whole point here is that your comment is asinine. That's like me saying "WELL LADY GAGA IS BETTER CUZ I'VE HEARD OF HER." It doesn't work that way.

  • syu, definitly ... He's so skilled and has so much accuracy and dexterity. One of my favorite guitar player !

  • technique tie

    melody tie

    but the awakening and my last farewell kicked ass

  • melody tie

    technique tie

  • As a finish guy, I prefer Matias ;)

  • SYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!­MY IDOL!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @jussitapiorissanen You are just so wrong.... its not inaccurate timing, its called rhythmic creativity. Inaccuracy? Lol. Ill call it a tie.

  • Comment removed

  • @jussitapiorissanen not to be an ass the tapping sucked because it was from a live look at the demo for it

  • @softhail1 Playing bad live only proves my point. Syu is playing too fast notes for himself. Check Matias Kupiainen - The Attitude Medley to see it's possible to play clean and accurate even on stage.

  • @jussitapiorissanen Syu plays pretty accurately live.

  • no mamen pinche chino. se le tuercen los dedos contra petrucci

  • Syu wins

  • syu es mejor y se la pelan

  • 動画ちゃうやん。 

  • Syu all the way!

  • matias is a sick crazy bastard !! elysium was hell of worth to wait for.. but still syu , silent revelation, new legend and his feeling beat matias off.. no hard feeling.. peace.. both guitarist in my influence list.. haha.. :P

  • both

  • Matias

    con el album eslysium y polaris de stratovarius

    me deja convencido

    que el es bueno

    pero nadie mejor que luca turilli¡¡¡

  • Matias !!!

  • Very difficult. But, altough Stratovarius is my favourite band, I think Syu's way of playing is exquisite and very special. Matias's work on Strato is awesome too!

    Syu wins...

    Syu gana pero por poquito xd

  • 4:37... WHAT THE HELL?

  • syu

  • Matias

  • Syu 

  • After having listened to the new stratovarius album "Elysium", I vote for Matias without a second thought.

  • if you want full energy solos, and only that, then go for Syu. if you want more musical, i would go for Matias. Syu is really good, but for my taste i would definitely go for Matias. hope i didn't insult anyone :). take care and have a nice day!

  • SYU!

  • i love them both, but syu's solos just make me more shaking, and shiver.. wow.. ! I love that energy and feeling what syu can do to other people when he's playing!

  • matias doesnt have half as much dynamics in his picking as syu does which i see with i a lot of super technical players...and i gets really boring really fast... SYU!! sound like his guitar is SCREAMING!! 100% of the time way more energy then SYU all the way >:D

  • @xDKxClan yeah syu has more practice i mean i read the bio of Matias it seems he started 2006 with grindcore so mmh seems so he just started to play his style after that but he has studied at Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and the Pop & Jazz Conservatory in Oulunkylä nice!!

    Now to Syu he plays almost 10 years he played before violin thats a hard instrument, he can play drums too got lot influence John Petrucci and other metal, hard rock guitar players hes style is wider but i like both

  • Matias es mas limpio, mas progresivo, es el mejor :D

  • @hercolobusproject more progressive... pff yeah right...

  • Syu wins by a long haul in my opinion. so much more exciting to listen to.

  • EXELENTES, CAPOS, PERO SYU ES UN MASTER Y UN MUSICO MAS COMPLETO TECNICA Y CREATIVAMENTE PARA MI GUSTO, Y UN GRAN FEELING!!!

  • Matias won. period. If this is a competition of tone and songwriting skills then it is definetely Matias.

  • Matias is also a better songwriter ....

  • syu all the say

  • I gotta say Syu, but I'd love to hear more of Matias' work. Did he have any bands before Stratovarius?

  • @JaketheSnakeESP only a grindcore band called Fist in Fetus but they have also Progressive Death Metal and Classical influences in they sound.

    They released a demo in 2007 so thought how hes so good than i researched that he was in a Death metal band called The Sinkage who released a demo in 2002

    Hope i could help you^^

  • i saw Matias live, and he is awesome. i like his style better.

  • plus syu sound more original...

  • @joemakelele original ":D" sure

  • syu just kill thiz matt guy...

  • los 2 son buenisimos.. syu mejor (por poquito) xD

  • If you know what these both guitarist can do, you know that Matias is alot better than Syu.

  • @HenriGibson you obviously don't know what Syu can do then XD Judging from that comment, he's one of the most underrated guitarists in the world. Matias is awesome technically but Syu is special in how much feeling and passion he puts into his playing and song writing.  With a lot of awesome guitarists you feel like you've heard it before but with Syu it just sounds different.

  • matias is cleaner than syu

    syu is faster than matias anyway they are gods playing the guitar

  • Matias = talented guitarrist

    Syu = guitar god

  • Fan of both, but i gotta side with syu on this one, his technicality and clarity are top notch.

  • Syu just butt raped him...

  • please see Mathias's other solo work's videos... his techinc and creativty are abolutely better..

  • Mathias absolut better...other one is avarage!

  • Syu !

  • @SioCun Yes Suy is great but Matias has the most godly tone ever. Thumbs up if you agree. >=0 Thumb THIS COMMENT UP NOW BITCH!

  • @SpartanLaserCanon You're tha bitch... and you didn't understand a thing. Go listen to DF.

  • @SioCun matias kupiainen no le llega ni a los talones a syu matias tiene que volver a nacer 3 veces para que recien pueda competir con un asombroso joven y talentoso guitarrista japones como SYU que viva el METAL JAPONES EL MEJOR DEL MUNDO el metal euopeo ya paso a la historia EL METAL JAPONES lo DESTROZO POR COMPLETO les recomiendo que escuchen GALNERYUS,CONCERTO MOON,LOUDNNES,SAMURAY JADE, XJAPAN, ANIMETAL, ARK STORM, SPINALCORD, ETC el MEJOR METAL DEL MUNDO EL JAPONES 

  • @Nsync25 eata bien que te guste el metal asiatico que a la vez es solamente copia del metal europeo,pero decir que el metal asiatico destrozo al metal europeo,disculpa pero tu universo musical es pequeño,los guitarristas europeos no tienen rival,malmsteem,hansen ,.alexi laijo,timo tolkki,y mejor no sigo,son los padres de syu,lo nuevo de matias el elysium,escuchalo y compara a estos guitarristas,

  • syu 1000 veces mejor, la vdd

  • en defensa de syu matias suena a niño de escuela de musica sin ningun estilo en cambio syu tiene su estilo incomparable y reconocible

  • syu all the way for sure

  • El estilo de Syu es reconocible a 1000 kilometros, es unico, Syu se lleva esta batalla por decision dividida pero la gana.

  • I'M SORRY. I LOVE STRATOVARIUS BUT THIS IS SYU'S GAME, SET AND MATCH!!!

  • La actuación de SYU es un ruido

  • @aikoku159 bueno estos no son lo mejor ke tiene syu ejemplo las guitarras heroicas ke puedes escuchar en animetal o en los primeros discos de galneryus

  • MATIAS !

  • syu

    

  • SYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! IS THE BEST

  • SYU FOREVER....

  • the one and only....matias

  • SYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Both from the absolute top of modern shred. Imo Matias has just a touch cleaner teqhnique, not that it matters on this level. Just more or less comes down to which style one prefers. Very nice song pics so props to lance.

  • syu is far greater than matias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • syu

  • As a guitarist, Syu is my idol

  • it annoys me because I cant take sides!, both are just as good...damn it, why make a video comparing my 2 fav bands :'(

  • SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU SYU oh and SYU xD

  • SUY FTW!!

  • syu is the better one

  • Matias

  • Style of syu is unique. MAtias is also great but his style can be compared with other guitarrist.

  • Syu is better, but the sound is worse than Matias.

  • both of theim are fantastiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic even if I prefere syu style :p
