The best solos and leads you probably haven't heard

[MrEagles28]

look up Anterior and Made of Hate. They both have fuckin amazing solos.

[HLucena01]

where is all of solos of Jeff waters from Annihilator??

[sheepbaneindmin]

@opiofile

SoP is definitly more technically complex then necro. I would even go as far to say they are a step beneath Obscura, but that would only be in solos. Muhammad only uses like 2 techniques in all his solo, his vocabulary is so limited.

[GuitariousMaximus]

Between the Buried an me ;)

[SpartanMota]

Necrophagist and Nevermore FUCKING BADASS!!!

[riffinn94]

KAAAAAALLLLMAAAHHHH!!!! \,,/



[Adicone16040]

victorious one really good ,if you are a serious fans of norther ... victorious one simply the best music that they have ever made...

[666sicksatan666]

WHY IS A PIC OF HATE ETERNAL ON THE VID IF THEY'RE NOT HERE?

[OMEruller]

I've herd all of these bands.

[DeadwoodForest]

look up the band inRed CD Serpents Hold a video called "The most epic/heroic song on Youtube!"

[TheWargasmic]

Opeth - Ghost of Perdition.

[blackmetal308]

I'm pretty sure 7:38 shows an old picture of Hate Eternal (L-R: Erik Rutan, Derek Roddy and Jared Anderson). It also happened to be the thumbnail when I clicked on this video (part of the reason I did). Erik plays some cool stuff too, you should've included some of it...

[RhewBleiddiad]

Norther ruled!!!... When they had Petri Lindroos...

[arsehole420]

haha random picture of hate eternal over the spawn solo.

[VoiceoftheSoul10]

the Cold solo isnt even played by any members of At the Gates. its played by Andy Larocque

[ScorpioX19]

it shows hate eternal during spawn of possession but theres none of their awesome solos

[binaryl0rd]

Spawn Of Possession!! ur just missing some origin,aeon,obscura,and maybe vital remains

[666ragnarok666]

what band and song perform the second solo can somebody tell me ? i cant recognize it =(

[SuperJoosje]

dude..

kalmah is a serious band you SHOULD know

NORTHER everebody who looks at this vid know them

necrophagist is old news its as old as the earth itself

almost all of these bands will be recognised if you are a little bit melodeath fan

[Monolithan666]

None of these bands are unknown to me :P

Good collection, but not the most emotional guitar leads out there. One of my favorite leads is in Godeye by Kalmah :D

[XCarnifexX69]

Holy shit, I know all of them, I feel amazing. Good video, good work all of the solos are amazing.

[HXCpr0n]

It's funny how Rebecca Black gets more credit than the gods in these videos. The world we live in is really pathetic sometimes.

[SHREDDER222X]

You should put CYNIC in the list!

[LAMBofLUCI]

the solo of victorious 1 - norther, is beautiful!!!!

THIS VID DESERVE MORE VIEWS!........

GOOD JOB MAN

[CreuvonVolve]

unfortunally, we are living in a sociaty where most ppl appreciate the starts, not the musician, and thats pretty fucked up, good music is benn replaced by crap and good looks. btw, the nevermore solo is a fckn killer

[MachineGunnerDrummer]

How pretentious.

[IntrotoyourDoom]

lol in the tags "Slipknot sucks"

[IntrotoyourDoom]

Yeah, 10 out of 14. \m/

[kungfujellybean]

Funny how all the obscure ones that I'd never heard of all sucked serious man-banana.

At The Gates, Wintersun, Sylosis, Meshugga, Symphony X, Scar Symmetry are all very well known.

[lxXMETALXxl]

Jeff Loomis is metal jebus 

[80smetalchild]

haha these are pretty wellknown dude. c'mon ive heard atleast half. but still pretty good compilation

[adrikmma]

"haven't heard" are you fuckign kiddign me these are the most mainstream deathmetal bands out there this should be full of the shit people actually havent heard of like severed savior and shit

[UGoTDZeZ]

how can someone not know of at the gates? i guess if your deaf but even then you must have read some something about them. i constantly find myself writing sporadic small notes "at the gates is the greatest band ever" and leaving them on busseats...

[AnticosmosOverload]

puras bandas conocidas en too caso hehe..

[Dominoes282]

Should of had the Dancers to a Discordant System SOLO!! THAT WAS THE BOMB

[phantomlimb1127]

What a list!! Got it spot on, nice work man!

[iBAMi777]

the best is the last and the last is the best!!!

[dazzlevt]

great list man. fantastic music. i used to be a groove metal guy, like lamb of god and chimaira. but lately i've been getting into melodeath and it kicks ass. don't get me wrong, i still love lamb of god, but this stuff is just insane. its like iron maiden, black dahlia murder, and trivium mashed together.

metal never ceases to amaze me

[theriakage]

loved seeing quo vadis in here, they need more recognition!

[tomothy25]

Sylosis are absolutely immense, they're my favourite band on this list. The sweeps in Teras are mental.

[bonuzround]

Thank you for the white walls !

[loverock4eva7294]

I know every one of these bands, but only a few of the songs. Could anyone list them for me? I'm definitely diggin' them.

[darkskilling]

I guess I have some more cd's to buy now!

[corpsegrinder777]

nice! but I would also add parasites of paradise, two steps away, the unborn and a lust called knowledge solos from MPE, ascendant from keep of kalessin, when the rain ends from immemorial (maybe every single solo jari has ever created), evil in you from kalmah and maybe primitive again from falchion even tho is not that elaborated, but whatever, nice music taste.

[RoManLP15]

Check the guitar solo from the song:

Pantera - Domination at 3:00 in the pantera music video. Its awesome to.

Anyways nice bands here :P I only knew 6 of 14 :S

[EddietheHead1994]

Im know 14 of 15 (dont know sylosis) but sick video! \m/ really enjoyed the BTBAM

[Fury88ify]

I Know 9 of 14 :D

[parquar]

@Fury88ify lol well obviously if you know good metal bands you will have heard a lot. Most ppl I know just don't

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@parquar but these arent good metal bands, only really good one you listed was necrophagist, nevermoore is meh, jeff loomis only knows shred, and he isnt even creative with it like necro or chris broderick, spawn of possesion is good too but their no where near necrophagist, wheres obscura? i would say this isnt that bad because you didnt put gay shit like metallica, but the bands like the first one shouldnt even be considered metal. its fucking lame.

[parquar]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Obscura is boring a lot of the time. I don't think At the Gates and melodeath stuff is different enough to be considered not metal. If you consider it so, many other things would also not be considered metal and you would have to arbitrarily find a center that would remain considered metal. I made this video a while ago also, and didn't take too long making it.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@parquar Obscura has only 6 sixs or 5 i really like, but that other shit is like poser metal, get what im saying? just because you can strum open really fast and spam power chords doesnt make you metal, kinda like metallica, you can say their the best because their the most famous, but thats bullshit cause if thats all they have going for them justin beiber beats them at it. especially when 6 yr olds cover them perfectly.

[camillerocks911]

@parquar Very nice list - finally I see someone else who likes the Cold solo as much as I do. Other songs I think that are deserving are Bird/Serpent War by Symphony X, Ghost Prototype I by Scar Symmetry, Hollowheart by Kalmah, Abduction by Bruce Dickinson, Felonies of the Christian Art by Old Man's Child, Beware the Beast by Firewind, and Silverwing by Arch Enemy.

[ChappersLaNoCry]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Scar Symmetry, Symphony X and Wintersun aren't good? Yeah okay...

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@ChappersLaNoCry I forgot symphony x was in there, but yeah the other two suck

[0Erazoender0]

@Hatesmonkeys666

You sir, are an idiot. Necrophagist is extremely boring after you listen to half of their songs... all of their songs are diminished or minor. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Necro and Obscura, but they get really repetitive. Chris Broderick, while fucking talented as all shit, is not as creative as Jeff Loomis. At the Gates is fantastic, and Wintersun is the best band that has ever existed, no question about that. To deny that is pure blasphemy of metal itself. Fuckface.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@0Erazoender0 How are they boring? but not those shit bands you like? and chris broderick is way more creative than jeff loomis, i gave him a chance just so you know, necro is extremely different, you wont find a band that sound just like them, while theres a million wintersun and at the gates knock offs, or better yet their knock offs, and you show just how mature you are by calling me fuck face, how old are you 6? go listen to your metallica and cry over my comment, ask mommy for better music.

[0Erazoender0]

@Hatesmonkeys666

Jari is one of the most talented, creative, underrated motherfucker to have walked this earth. Putting virtually anyone above him is silly. Sure there are may be some more technical players, or maybe some more creative (which I haven't really heard...), but nobody today is both technical and creative to such a degree. 

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@0Erazoender0 umm, varemia? necrophagist? yeah, what your saying doesnt add up, your shit talking necro for the fun of it, if you really knew metal like you think you do, you'd see how brilliant necro is, you probaly listened to 2 songs then made a final decision. Its sad how ignorant people can be when it comes to metal. i just have one question, do you consider meshuggah and metallica good? answer this, and i will have a better view of how ignorant you are.

[0Erazoender0]

@Hatesmonkeys666 No, I own both of Necrophagist's releases. They're good as I said. They just get rather boring after a while. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they only have two releases...... regardless Wintersun only has one and I've been listening to it since the start, and I'm STILL not bored of it. I do consider Meshuggah good, and I consider a select few Metallica songs good. However I think Kirk sucks as a lead guitarist, so don't kid yourself.

[0Erazoender0]

@Hatesmonkeys666 (So to clarify I'm not trashing Necrophagist, I do enjoy them as I said)

How does that make me ignorant? For tech death, the best band in the genre is Decapitated, no question about that. Their first two albums were utterly amazing. Vitek was one of the best drummers around, RIP Vitek. Do you listen to anything other than metal, by the way? IE: Classical or anything?

Just shut up before you embarrass yourself more than you have.

[sonicslaughter]

@Hatesmonkeys666 I smell a troll.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@sonicslaughter Well you might want to take a shower, i never heard of anyone that can smell the troll off of someone, but since they don't have technology to smell people through the computer, you must be smelling yourself.

[sonicslaughter]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Sorry, I thought you had been "trolling" with your previous comment because it seemed to be expressed in a rather closed-minded, angry manner, reminiscent of a "troll". Anyway, I find your opinions on the genre of metal to be silly. :)

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@sonicslaughter i don't listen to just metal, and i look up a lot of bands that i havent heard to see if im missing out on anything good, yet im closed-minded? ill admit im angry, when dumbasses who praise shit like metallica think they know metal yet you'll shit talk a band like necrophagist? not saying thats you, even though it probably is, what bands do you listen to? i give bands who earn it respect, but don't tell me to praise someone like metallica for doing scales 8 year olds perfect.

[sonicslaughter]

@Hatesmonkeys666 I like Necrophagist. I like Metallica. I like all the bands in this video, including the ones I haven't listened to much, judging from these guitar solos. If you can't find any good bands in this video other than Necrophagist, then I feel sorry for you because you are missing out on some sweet music.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@sonicslaughter Just to be fair, i watched the video again, necro, symphony x, nevermore, and spawn of possesion are the only really good bands, and i lost alot of respect for the maker of this video for putting meshuggah, i don't care who you are or what you like, meshuggah is complete shit, they shouldn't even be put in the metal category, ffs they make metallica look hard, then they get praised for the same repetitive riffs, AND they shit talk other bands who are better

[sonicslaughter]

@Hatesmonkeys666 butt i liekz meshuggah :(

[GodScoutSavage]

@Hatesmonkeys666 I beleive you're just angry because you cant play time signatures like they can.. and how is itthe same riff? Its in different signatures every time.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@GodScoutSavage LMFAO GOOD JOKE, you were joking right? you said that every song has different time signatures, just shows how ignorant you are, i listened to at the least 15 different meshuggah songs, and i heard 3 or 4 different riff patterns, you really think theyre good for that? they change the speed of a riff or add a power chord and call it a new song, its a fucking disgrace people can get away with calling that shit music, theyre about as musical as justin beiber.

[GodScoutSavage]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Lets see Justin Beiber play Bleed you ignorant bastard.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@GodScoutSavage lmfao you cant explain why meshuggah is good, you meshuggah fans are too cute, your like 5 year olds arguing about shit you don't know about, you sound like an angry redneck calling me an ignorant bastard btw, i like how you didint address anything relating to meshuggah just justin beiber...

[GodScoutSavage]

@Hatesmonkeys666 I very blatantly explained earlier that they use very odd time signatures in all of their songs, but i'll just stop feeding you, damn troll, i know your kind.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@GodScoutSavage NO PLEASE IM STARVING! lol, very odd time signatures? if thats all they have i can name a few bands that beat them at that, still doesnt change the fact that they only know like 3 riff patterns, you can listen to a song from the first cd then hear that same riff in 6/8 songs on every cd, i couldve made this shit "music" when i was 10.

[GodScoutSavage]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Cool story, tell it again.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@GodScoutSavage OK

[GodScoutSavage]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Do you atleast like Death?

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@GodScoutSavage OK, YES

[TheWhocares233]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Listen to Jeffs solo album and then say he's uncreative...Miles of machines...

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@TheWhocares233 I own that album, i like some of it, but for the most part his riffs are repulsive, he's just good at solos

[SoderberGMusic]

@Fury88ify Same here :P

9 of 14 :P

[ThaDeeStylee]

That second band photo of Spawn of Possession is actually Hate Eternal. Fail.

[flunkUtron]

ALL SICK! but karlson of Spawn of Possession is a personal favourite hes got a very organic way to soloing that doesnt sound like hes just running scales

[notfuckingavailable]

you keep the best for the last!

[richard6663]

pretty well known popular shit. not obscure.

[motig79]

great list -check out Anterior - Dead Divine and also Anterior - Human Hive

[miserywar]

what song of norther :O !!!

and best solo of kalmah is blind leader too XD

[edirislas]

nother, at the gates, kalmah necrophagist and wintersun are the best

[AlthenasGuard]

I agree with Lovethatdeathmetal. However, Wintermadness solo Wintersun and Fade to Black solo Metallica come close

[ExtremeSkippingFan]

Kalmah forever.

[LoveThatDeathMetal]

Best solo ever is Kalmah - The Blind Leader.

Not even debatable.

[LoveThatDeathMetal]

Best solo ever is Kalmah - The Blind Leader.

Not even debatable.

[edirislas]

not only the best solo my friend, the best song ever

[poobearpanda345]

i've heard of symphany X

[Xerubim]

good job, but i miss something by Obscura

[parquar]

I'm not sure I had yet even been able to get that album at the time this was made. So much has changed since then. At least Christian was in Necrophagist as some credit to him. As for Jarzombek, I should have something from him also. Dream Theater is missing because I thought they would take the vid down like one before

[gibbsies]

@parquar No Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad or SikTh? Love the Meshuggah solo, although I think they have much better solos ;P

[rammice]

FUCK YEAH! Kalmah makes this whole video worthwhile!! (The other ones are great too they just can't compare in my mind)

[MetalPersian]

i think u shud hav also added the beginning of hades. tht shit is fuckng epic!!

[MetalPersian]

dude, yess!!!

[jellehenk]

KALMAH! best fucking band EVER

[SunFlightx]

This is a really fucking good list. Leave it to the melodic bands to create works of art.

[ReapersShredder]

7:45 dude that's hate eternal not SoP

[superbri007]

BTBAM - COLORS FTW

[Dxjigsaw289]

Well, I feel sorry for those who haven't heard of Jari, one of the most crazy guitarists out there :D

[roflmfao123]

Also I wanted to add:

The two best solos IMO from this list is the one from Kalmah, and Wintersun. Probably the most melodic and technical. Pure quality those guitar fingers.

[roflmfao123]

Chaosphere - Meshuggah

That solo sounds like childs play on guitar. wtf is that. Sounds like noise and shit.

but the rest are amazing. Cool vid +

[shinderhizzle84]

TURN INTO BLOOD! THISSSSS ISSSS HAAADEEEES!

Kalmah fucking rocks, I know almost all of these bands but nice collection, too bad the majority of the public that thinks theyre cool bc they listen to as i lay dying and killswitch engage are like, 11 years old and are too immature to really matter, ;)

[xXSatannataSXx]

im confused......by general public do you mean all the motherfuckers in the world or just the metalhead division cuz most of these bands pretty well known among the headbangers...i mean half of these bands are fucking legends like kalmah for example and how the fuck is dream theater not well known thats some fuckin mainstream shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[parquar]

@xXSatannataSXx more of the new age ppl that think they are so cool because they listen to As I lay Dying and haven't heard of any of the good stuff. I should make some more vids some time then

[DeeJjay200]

what, no Jonas Brothers?

[chaveznieves]

no dream theater? they're not that well known either

[parquar]

@chaveznieves youtube doesn't allow Dream Theater :(. They'll screw you over and take the sound out.

[chaveznieves]

@parquar

umm i have both the count of tuscany and in the name of god studio versions on my channel. perfect quality. and i uploaded them only a couple months ago.

[parquar]

When I had The Dark Eternal Night on a video they said it detected that song and they disabled the audio. Based on knowing that happened I didn't want to risk having to redo the video and upload it again. If anybody is really looking, they have to be dumb to not find Dream Theater anyway

[chaveznieves]

@parquar

if you dispute the audio disabled thing and you put in all the right stuff you immediately get your audio back and they won't remove it again

[parquar]

what is "all the right stuff". I want to put up some stuff in the future so that would be helpful.

[chaveznieves]

just search "how to remove copyright infringement" or something like that. there's a million videos on how to do it

[Breeg1989]

WAT? Dude, but seriously... Dream Theatre "not well known"? : |

I don't know five of the bands presented here. : D

[chaveznieves]

dream theater* isn't really that well known. more well known than most of these bands here, but still. i only know like, 3 people who knew of dream theater beforehand until i showed them

[beervolcano]

@chaveznieves Yeah, I really wish they'd put some Queensryche on here. No one knows that band at all, just like Dream Theater. Oh, and King's X. Totally obscure too. lol

[LoserkidMacbeth]

At the Gates is the best thing on here.

[lobyte]

at the gates is my favourite best fucking band ever

[smackdown0316]

I already know these bands, nice taste bro.

[kentutlagibest]

i got into metal through avenged sevenfold. some of their old stuff were not bad. but they're shit now

[abominabletreachery]

deathcore is for girls. there, i said it.

[shredguitarmanifesto]

The picture you putted for Spawn Of Possession is not Spawn Of Possession, is Hate Eternal

[parquar]

hmm screw google images then

[z3ro146]

dude i fucking love between the buried and me and most of these people are right these bands are really underground not on purpose but because most people choose to listen to other genres of music like rap and all that shit they think that metal is trash when saying words to a beat generated by a computer isnt

[ScorpioX19]

The At The Gates solo is done by Andy LaRoque of King Diamond

[blissbomb1988]

most metal bands are relativley unknown to the general public

[parquar]

except, of course, absolute garbage like metallica and slipknot

[TheThanimal]

correction. most good metal band are unknown. see metal has gotten such a band rap cuz like when more uneducated ppl hear the word metal. the think of bands like slipnot and godsmack. and other crap like that. but metal is a really broad and beautiful genre of music. metal doesn't automatically mean ppl destroying their vocal chords and drowning power chords with loud blast beats.

it can be a beautiful and moving type of music. please ppl look into metal instead of just dismissing it! LOOK!

[blissbomb1988]

I dont need a lecture on metal, i listen to most genres of metal, prog, death, thrash, etc etc. i know how beautiful it can (look at Opeth). Also, what is with the slipknot hating? they were the band that introduced me to metal when i was 12, and without them ALOT of people would not have developed onto more extreme metal (even though if people actually listen to there albums they will hear that slipknot did some pretty extreme stuff, mabye you should take your own advice there and LOOK!)

[parquar]

Slipknot has too much dumb stuff for me to like them. The whole nu metal bullcrap with chanting and stuff just sucks. That's having nothing to do with their gay masks. At least I started off with Iron Maiden and soon after Dream Theater...

[nukem858]

i started with linkin park and slipknot and soad.

moved into metalcore like as i lay dying and all that remains, then into prog stuff like opeth and between the buried and me, then into deathcore like conducting from the grave, whitechapel, etc etc etc, then into death metal and some grind like brain drill and cannibal, and ive thrown in some thrashy and melodeath here and there too *kalmah, trivium, children of bodom, etc* and i still respect slipknot and numetal for starting my love for metal

[ScorpioX19]

Opeths music is good and can be pretty at times lol, but itz alil to folksy for me xD

[Darthzedd]

I laughed because Slipknot introduced me into metal when I was 12 too.

high five

[piginila1]

@TheThanimal agreed

[Gindelbi]

@TheThanimal

Most people hate metal more for the Vocals. Because the majority of people listen to songs for the lyrics so they can "have an emotional connection" with them or some shit and not for the actual music.

It's hilarious.

[kevstew26]

Hey good stuff man, love btbam and necrophagist...i actually covered only ash remains and white walls in it\s entirety so check it out :P
