  • the violin just make it more brutal

  • Hey man you look a like a musician from the Apocalyptica!! Fantastic!! Please make more video! Üdvözletem!

  • You have succeeded in making Metallica sound like a gypsy band. Props: Nice take.

  • @papilos72...haha, I'm a violin teacher and I LOVED it. Props to you Lysertheshaman. =) I think the biggest improvement you could make would be making sure your violin is Really in tune before you play, your G string seemed really flat in a few vids. Also, try to work on imitating the attack and sustain that the guitars do, really shorten the attacked notes, and work your vibrato for the legato sections. Good job!

  • @gothviolingirl87 It`s always nice to hear some constructive critisism from a proffessional. Thanks for the comment! ^^

  • That wasnt what your violin teacher hoped to see one day, but you are great !!!

  • you are sooo great. I love your skills and taste in music.. maybe I can learn from you xd

  • I love you. Please marry me!

  • wow. HAIL from Sweden. I like it very much. Best regards to your talent dude. Add me as a friend:)

  • I play the guitar, but to me it sounds a little out of tune... Or its just me?

  • HAHAHHA that is cool as hell!!! Keep it up

  • Awful, ouch my ears..

  • Makes me wanna go back to playing violin.

  • OH my god, this is still fucking great!

  • Awesome!

  • F*ckin great. My violin skills are pwned by you. I like how you were playing the open string with the melody... pretty much all the double stops were awesome.

    Do you ever listen to Resolution15 or Turisas? Metal violins

  • @vooduviolin Thanks! ^^

    I listened to Turisas for a while.

    My Dying Bride has amazing violins in their music. As well as UnExpect (probably the most proffesional ones), Eluveitie and Devil Swing Orchestra (Though I think it`s a cello most of the times, but they definately use violins in some of their songs).

  • @Lysertheshaman Then theres Hung, Elvenking, At the Lake, Winterdome, I am Ghost... and pretty much halh the Scandanavian metal scene. Didn't Rhapsody of Fire have a violin once too?

  • @vooduviolin Don`t forget Haggard. They have all the freakin` orchestra in their possesion. Those bands that include strings are really badass.

  • @Lysertheshaman I love bands that can get violins as heavy as a distorted Ibanez, especially on acoustics.

  • is pretty nice, i dont know much about how to play a violin, but is over the average

    just a question, did you adopted the look of Eicca???

  • @QvixoteRoux you have a point. He does look like Eicca. and yay! another Apo fan!

  • perfecto! need distortion for more effects. But perfect

  • this is great!

  • I' ll marry you...!! <3

  • yea , pepole are impolite. sorry for my english , i'm from poland , so i can't write great in english... you are very talented . ; ) . wow :) . respect :) !

  • Excellent!

  • Where did you buy those sweatbands man?

  • that is really cool man, keep up the good work

  • Love it man - hat's off to you!

  • love the web on the wall!!!!!!!!!!!

  • you are good

  • Do call of Kthulu :)

    That would be awesome.

  • OMG YOU AWESOME U IN ORCHESTRA?

  • im a metal violinist ... fucking awesome

  • he wanted the metal. his parents wanted somthing more classical. i guess this is a tie

  • If I saw you walking down the street, I would never in my life think you could play a violin... Glad I saw this video, before i lost all my money betting you couldn't...

  • Have you ever tried playing electric violin? And I agree, melodic death metal kicks ass. Beats whatever's on the radio by far.

  • since you like metal and play violin i should recomend the swedish band

    At the Gates

  • @GabrielTheDrummer96 I know this band. They kick ass. Actually, whole Melodic Death metal and Swedish metal scene kick ass.

  • @Lysertheshaman cool! Yeah I've seen ATG twice and I'm a big fan of Entombed, Nirvana 2002, Dismember and Merciless. So now when I know you like ATG could you learn and upload Slaughter of the Soul?

  • @Lysertheshaman Then try something from a band called Dark Tranquillity

  • @GabrielTheDrummer96 great band btw

  • FROM a long time metathead,great job,rock on

  • Great!!!!

  • your kinda the reason why i kinda started to want to play violin i just got a violin so ill get lessons so i can play this lol

  • I've just been listening to various violinists play Metalica here on YouTube, and I have to say, for me it makes the music so much more accessible. I like most hard rock and some metal, but Metalica tends to be so heavily distorted that I can't get past that to hear the artistry of the music. Heard like this, I can understand how brilliant they really are!

  • thats awesome \m/-_-\m/

  • Very good! It's amazing how well classical instruments perform!

  • Guys who play violin = hot. Just sayin' :p

  • COOL !!! WHEN DID U START PLAYING

  • Comment removed

  • Hey dude. Apocalyptica called. And they want you to join there ranks in awesome o.o

  • Great job dude! Metal andclassical are alot closer than most people think.

  • That's awesome. Respect.

  • it's good. but I have a question....if your just going to play Metallica songs anyway, why not just do it on the guitar?

  • @Sto0pidPenguinPro to do something diferent? is always great to hear metal played with other instruments not hearing always the same, look for sahemisen metal videos for example...

  • u made me more interested in the violin, i think i'll try it ( got bored of the guitar) :)

  • Is there such thing as an electric violin??? 

  • @MegaJman9000 yes there is, look around youtube. It was invented before the electric guitar!!!

  • haha i never thought id see this

  • dude that's awesome lol

  • hey, obviously its not perfect, but nice job. if i may suggest, lighten up on the g string. when you bow it, your pressing quite hard, making the note sharp. loosen up, i know your going for that "metal feel" but if you let the violin do what it can, it will produce the sound you want. also, with your bowing arm, same thing. lossen up a little. your skill will increase muuch more if you relax and play the instrument, rather than working to produce the sound. just some advice. =D

  • @TheViolinist1001 Thank you for the advise. It is always awesome to hear some serious advice. Thank you very much.

  • Okay, man, why the hell not! :D But if that's not metal attitude, then I don't know what is!

  • I really like it. Thank you for sharing with us.

  • wow!!! increible me podrias decir donde consigo la partitura (0_o)

  • Awesome!

  • I have heard cellos play Metallica songs. So GREAT!!!! I ENVY people who are musically talented, VIOLINS AND GUITARS ALL KICK ACE.... I do have to say when I go to hastings to get violin stuff its a pain to find all guitar not much for the violin. I like it... Good Job!!!

  • Well done brother, it takes skill to arrange a song for a different instrument. To be able to play it well, is even greater!

  • Man, I was just waiting for this guy to start headbanging.

    Good job, just needed a bit of work on intonation.

  • Pretty psyched that you decided to cover a bunch of metal on violin. I love classical and a true metalhead. It's weird how well metal and classical go hand it hand, at least in my opinion. Keep it up

  • @zachmarkham84 Yeah I agree with that. I play alot neo classical riffs on my guitar, I just love that epic sound.

  • awesome man i love it when classical players play metal :D

  • Amazing :)

  • I wana learn to play the violin like that!

  • AWESOME ! <3

  • thats what i like to see rock on bro

  • You messed up sometimes and the timing went weird in a few spots, but still I admire the fact you're covering something on a Violin and that actually takes skill unlike the hundreds of generic kids that pick up their dad's guitar and look up tabs then call themselves epic guitarists. Kudos.

  • i love the way your wall is painted

  • Aw look at you, you're all grown up and good :)

  • painful to listen to and amazingly evil, it's cool but I hope your going to start playing guitar

  • FUCKING AMAZING!

  • Look ... is Axl Rose D: !!

  • oh my God!!!:Othat was great!!! 5 stars!!!

  • You look like Axl Roses ! xD. Nice cover

  • @scarymovie94 It's a cool cover, no need to insult him!

  • sounds pretty good : )

  • nice

  • i play viola

  • How about you and I make a cover together? :P Though I'm a guitar player, would be awesome but it's just some random stuff xD Awesome cover man, really love it!

  • I wish I could play like this. I played for 5 years, and then gave it up for three years, I was young and foolish. I bought an electric violin about three months ago, and I can't get the vibrato down =\

    I'm trying like crazy but ti just won't come back to me, and now I've got to start alllll over again...

  • Keep The Good Work

  • that was amazing!!!!!! Gr8 job. that takes alot of skill. oh, and my violin looks almost exactly like yours hahah!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • where did you get the wrist bands?? Nice COVER!

  • You have nice sound.... I like to play "double cords" too!

  • Yes, people, let's be a Violin nation.... not enough young people play violin (enough with guitars already...)

  • @OBSysteme Guitars are awesome and the sound of an electric guitar is the most universal, though I want to do something a little different ^^

  • well i play...violin,cello, gutiar, bass guitar, drums, and piano...but you see i will play any instrument i can get my hands on...i just love music...so i say, no, lets not become a "violin nation" how bout just a music nation...not leting ourselves be narrowed...to one style of music...or instrument...

    yes i relize that is like asking for world peace....never gonna happen...

  • @Freedomaintfree Your statement is more what I had in mind actually... I guess you could say I am just a bit weary of the total domination of the Guitar in the musical universe... ; )

  • @OBSysteme heh nice man =P u should join black or even death metal bands...they could really use a violinist ...cuz i currently do...since my band's music is melodic death metal

  • @hmfvunit soz wrong person..was meant to be said to lyser

  • @hmfvunit I do not know If I would be able be in a metal band because I am not really able to do those wild violin solos.... My background is more from Traditional fiddling (Acadian/French Canadian). I play double cords alot and do experimental music (i try), but the end result is more rythmic than melodic it seems... I need more practice. I am also into Arab-style playing (been experimenting with that).

  • @OBSysteme dude soz didnt mean to reply to u in the first place =P..but since u mentioned it...kwl xD what u tried playing lutes for arabic music?

  • @hmfvunit I don't know how to play lutes.. I play a conventionnal (european) violin, but experimenting at playing Arab style.

  • @OBSysteme i play electrric guitar,acoustic guitar,drums,violin,cello,pian­o and bass and theres nothing wrong with the guitars

  • @guitarramaniacx Oh, of course there,s nothing wrong with guitars my friend! I was merely expressing a bit of fatigue as to their absolute dominance in our universe.

  • @guitarramaniacx you could just say I am whinning about the success of guitars... lol!

  • Yyoooooo I had no idea what to expect.... That was pritty cool actally and I like that song bullet for my valentine does a cover of it it's much better than the origanal you should check that out...

  • dude, I hope you don't mind if I request a song, but this is so very badass. I want to see if you can play my favorite song, One by MetallicA!

  • you made it in other tone, but it still sounds good

  • Epic. :D

  • You are awesome. You should do some stuff off of Kill 'em All.

  • Eargasm

  • Awesome! Great job, one day I'll play violin that bad ass too, hehe. Keep up the great playing man!

  • Creeping Death

  • This is great!

    Makes me wish I could play violin XD

  • oh its because he is a ritmic guitarr i want to say violin jaja never stop practise and you will can but very good you rock

  • heey you missed the solo D:

  • love it man !! i think Metallica need a violin player :) or not........

  • hell yes metallica needs a whole string sections besides bass and guitar it would being a whole new depth to the music

  • you mean like s&m

  • Mmm... I'm a violin player too and haven't watched many metallica violin videos at this point, though I love both, but maybe you'd get a better sound if you tried electric? I dunno, but its kind what its looking like so far. Maybe go to a music store that sells them and try one out. If you like it save up money. Worth a try!

  • add drums and some bass guitar maybe a little distortion on that violin and that could sell!!

  • Sounds great, man!

  • FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

    5/5*******

  • nice dude...I play violin and love Metallica...I've tried a few covers. XD

  • fuck yea u are beast !!!

  • I headbanged a little, out of force of habit. Rock on!

  • you honestly, cant call a guy like this a gay, because this instrument, takes fuckin skill to play...

  • good wall behind you :)

  • very nice job. i play viiolin too. could u message me if you are playing by ear, or if you have music. i'm very much interested!

  • It would be kickass to play with you in a transiberian orchestra. Your pretty damn good.

  • i think.... my brain melted in the awesomeness of this

  • *subscribes* :D

  • guy i love you!youre metal fucking guy!

    awesome i want to play like you!jeje

  • I'm all over it. I loved it. Keep posting, please!

  • the best !!!!!

  • please do a remake of master of puppets again , the quality in your master cover is low :P

  • dude i gotta clean my office cause my brains were fuckin blown every where

  • Heavy guy on violin, thats great, Respect!

    i play electric guitar

    MetallicA!!

  • good job

  • this song sounds awesome on a lot of instruments and you did one hell of a good job

  • i dont think i have ever heard someone shred that hard on a violin. definitely 2 thumbs up.

  • great shit dude, sounds beautiful

  • Don't worry, you'll get better. I can tell you have great passion for this instrument. I've only been playing for 5 years though..My fingers are double jointed and tend to lock up so I know how hard it is to make your hand stay limber. Keep playing, don't stop!

  • I`m really glad to hear opinion from violinist ^^ Yeah , I`m working on that and it works a little better now.

  • Yeh, I just wish there were more violinists in my school..There's only one other one who's good that helps me sometimes. And I NEVER get compliments on my playing, so you're uber lucky dude. LoLz

  • Well, for the first 8 years I was playing, I never got any compliments either. Violin is difficult to play with. And it takes time to properly control it. You just have to trie and soon enaugh you will see that it`s working. I wasn`t very good at classical pieces, so I thought I could do metal insted, and that seem to work. Just don`t give up.

  • @Skunkeeh i have that problem with my fingers, but i play guitar

  • @TheInnsmouthShadow Guitar is alot easier than violin. I wish I had longer fingers...Uhg, my short stubs are so hard to work with, when I play I have to shift alot more than extending. : /

  • @Skunkeeh it also depends on the music you play, cuz its not the same if you play nirvana or yngwie malmsteen (just forgiving an example) (if i talk in a confuse way is cuz i dont know english very well)

  • @TheInnsmouthShadow I play more classical than anything, I can also play songs like Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor. But the classical music is MUCH more complicated than anything I've ever played. Lol There requires alot of fancy finger work and I have to shift alot.

  • dont llike violins ore violinsts on principal

    but this rocks

  • i dont really like the sound it is to bold

    just dont press down as hard and it would be perfect 4/5

  • are you using both hand and arm vibrato???

    it was good by the way =)

  • awesome dude. I'll suscribe :)

  • i love violin *.*

    that's a great job brother

  • Great work. In the beginning are you mixing two differnent tracks up?

  • Comment removed

  • i've seen you somewhere...... Great job man! :D

  • not bad, its a good first trial... its as you say, when you get your right and left hand to be more comfortable you'll perform better Besides that, what happened to the intense solo?? it's the part that i enjoy playing the most but its nowhere to be heard (i too play the violin btw)

    for how long have you been playing? keep it up, u have good \m/ potential

  • in 1972 this whelp wasnt even a zygote in his daddy,s sac yet

    i dug the violin work thu
