Jens Johansson Keyboard Solo - Dublin 20-5-09

[WesQ]

He´s good but still it sounds horrible! 

[JunAcademicPlace]

Yngwie'solo and Jens's solo are the same.....difference is just using guitar and keyboard

[tpocain]

0:56 WHOOOOOOO!!!\m/

[shredabilly13]

Yngwie kicked him out for being to good.

[rph1990]

i love the way black diamond comes in...hes just sort of jamming it, and then the rest join...because they can assumedly XD

[LPNanoLP]

7 stupid people dislike this :)

[KeyboardistHossie]

Simply the greatest! I wish I could play like that. I DID, however, learn how to play the harpsicord parts of Black Diamond. :) Of course, I can't compare in any way to Jens.

[MoacirFB]

Holyyy Shit!! this dude fuckin Know how to play the keyboard!!!

[tpocain]

@buddahmaster--I know, RIGHT?! Jens looks so cool, even with the towel around his neck (not to mention CUTE!) See now, that's how you know you've really made it--when you've got thousands of people clapping to your keyboard solos...\m/

[quati]

7 people had their fingers cut!! hehe

[cwcontester]

Seen his solo with Dio on lock up the wolves

in concert in Lakeland, FL. He has raw talent

[lycosa2001]

@cwcontester I saw him live in Ann Arbor Michigan with Yngwie back in the 80's. Those 2 together were mind blowing. Or course, Yngwie was always center stage, but the blazing dueling runs between the 2 were just amazing.

[cwcontester]

@lycosa2001 When I seen him with Dio, after his solo, he blew up the keyboard and after the smoked

cleared, he was standing on the drum kit. I will never foget that.

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

VITALIJ KUPRIJ rules the keys though

[okgwen]

Excellent

[clem070605]

Awesome keyboards.

[buddahmaster]

ive never seen a towel look so cool around some ones neck before.

[Slashe50]

If Jens Johansson and Jordan Rudess were to keyboard duel, the world would explode.

[Obituar18]

@Slashe50 imagine if the battle were between Rudess, Johansson and Kuprij... bye bye universe =P

[teshkillat]

aaabi, Orhan Gencebay'dan gitti de gittiyi çalsana bi zahmet yaa .

[FurbyParade226]

Kotipelto...flat notes...

[MGYbarra]

@FurbyParade226

you're right

[stalingrenhatten]

the only person who may be better than Jens is Vitalij Kuprij, love to see those guys have a keyboard duel.

[warmen0808]

@stalingrenhatten you son of a bitch....you take that back you fag lol

[stalingrenhatten]

@warmen0808 woah calm down

[SparkShredder]

i love what he does at 0:09...so stylishly arrogant! \m/

[ioriyagamy015]

muy groso !°!!

[dethdakiller0]

Although Jens says there is no god, he is wrong. He himself is god.

[roronoachristian]

este si puede un vergo

[CotValkyries]

Hails to the Master

[linsk78]

I like Sherinian more but this guy is fucking awesome. Both better then Rudess. I give props to anyone still sporting a DX-7 synth.

[takotheoktopus]

@linsk78

Agreed. Always good to see someone rocking one of the first digital synths.

[PlayWithThunder]

BLACK DIAMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chillagma]

JANNE WIRMANS IDOL!!!!!!!

[MONSTERDT2112]

this guy is good but Jordan Rudess is god of the keyboards.

[SKareKrohX]

@MONSTERDT2112

I believe that title is Rick Wakeman's

[Sajicruz]

stratovarius?

[EuphorbusBTB]

Jens played with Holdsworth

[jhfhkhkhkhgffdfds]

Janne Wirman is faster

[FurbyParade226]

Wirman isn't faster though I do much prefer him over Jens. His melodies are nicer =]

[lidesnowi]

Fast don't mean shit!

[sirgalabadass343]

He's still rockin the DX7, in a few more years the chassis will consist entirely of duct tape.

[zslivonj]

well this is dx7 MKD II...its newer and better version...and i think it doesnt have MIDI handicap like the original dx7 who displayed MIDI info only from 0 -99 velocity range which tend to hurt badly when youre playing some sensitive patches as pianos and pads from other module or synth...so jens probably will use it for quite time....generally dx7 awesome synth and keys r fantastic.....

[jordan13555666]

The song at the end is Black Diamond

[BorisKeyboardS]

Fantastic....... solo .....

Very nice......

[zerototalchaos]

how can some people be asking "whixh son is it" it's their most famous song?

[VICTORBERGES]

what's is the song??¿?

[amantecreaciones]

black diamond

[ridonckulous95]

that was shit. he has nothing on rudess

[azneclipse88]

@ridonckulous95 : i agree :) rudess has alot more emotion in his sound wit the type of modulation he does....

[yamiimax]

yeah but best keyboard player in neoclassical style is he imo rudess has a bigger range in music styles

[JordanPetrucci94]

i agree as well, (of course, just look at my account name ;] ) i mean this guy is really good with leads and solos and what not, but rudess is just a fucking wizard, like his beard suggests hahaha this guy is still VERY good though.

[zslivonj]

jens is god of keyboard solos....no one can beat him in that..his ability to improvise and shredd on those fucking keys with his fucking lead sound is unmatchable...so whatever you say bla bla rudess is better..youre wrong....they r both good in their own way....jens played key solos while you were crapping into your dippers...and if you watched and heard a lot of stuff from this guy not only from stratovarius..you wouldnt say the crap you said...his solo stuff and his guest performances...

[Julien777WH]

I love Jens, but Jordan Rudess and Vitalij Kuprij are awesone as well

[SmjerIlica]

you should listen jens solo stuff....i have like everything where jens played..hes god....his solo albums and songs...his guest appearances, his masterpiece in stratovarius...and i listened all that shit..and i can claim that hes key solos GOD....i also listen fucking a lot stuff from jordan..and hes just KEYBOARD WIZARD really amazing....and hes unmatchable...in all those stuff that he does....but for me jens is king....his soloing abilities r unreal....

[Julien777WH]

and what about Kuprij, do u know him ?

[TheCyberDueliest]

@zslivonj he's amazing but i don't think hes the best.

[zslivonj]

i didnt say that hes the best..cause you cannot say that anyone is the best...in keyboard soloing and fusion stuff jens is my idol, hes so creative, and expressive..and thats why i consider him the best...and before you can say things like that you must know everything about that particular keyboardist, and i have listened all jens stuff, his solo album masterpieces, his guest appearances, his strato work...so i think hes fucking godlike awesome..and you should listen all his creations..;-)

[Gigatless]

whaat soong is it?

[FinanzamtBlashyrk]

Which song are they playin at the end?

[MrPhrillie]

they?

[SKareKrohX]

Who cares who's better between them?

Why is THAT what's important?

Great solo. This guy is my idol.

[StreamOfMetal]

Ok...same LEAD since I listen Stratovarious...almost 12 years....

[stratopiers]

hahaha 12 years, surely you're a fuckin' 20 yo kid, maybe you never heard Jon Lord and many many beast of the keyboards, if you like so much Jordan, you must know Dream Theater wanted Jens before Jordan, hahaha, Jordan is an ultimate resource to Dream Theater, hahahaha, by the way I don't play keyboards, but in my band I have a Jens, so it's enough for me, haha, fuck off°!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StreamOfMetal]

asshole im 30 and i´ve heard Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Thijs Van Leer, Gentle giant and many others since u been suckin my dick!!! So shut the fuck up and start to be a grown up!

[stratopiers]

hahaha, jordan rudess it's a fuckin' clown, Jens it's the number one of this times, of course 60's and 70's had better keyboard players, in 80's and 90's jens it's number one, jordan rudess take lessons with jens, hahahaha,

[StreamOfMetal]

Yeah, in 80´s and 90´s probably Jens was the best...but man, we´re in 2009 now, u´re talikin 20 or 30 years ago. Jordan always used tecnology and sounds that any metal keyboard player used before, U´re a clown who wishies to play like Jordan hahahah

[StreamOfMetal]

Pero morite escuchando al gil este, yanki del orto.

[3w46]

Que bien que suena!

[StreamOfMetal]

Fuck..In a studio, and with a band context...that sound is great...but to play a solo... mmm...

[stalingrenhatten]

I'm pretty sure he taught jesus how to play keyboard.

[VideoDavid1]

Buenísimo

muito bom...

[FurbyParade226]

Ruddess + Wirman + Jesus + Chuck Norris = Jens Johansson

[StreamOfMetal]

Jesus + Buda + Ala + albine cat = Jordan Rudess... Johanson is awesome, but come on...Rudess can beat him whit one hand and blindfolded xD xD

[zslivonj]

dude..youre not making sense....youre comparing 2 different keyboardists....jordan rudess is all around keyboardist..he uses masses of sounds in his performance, and hes classicaly trained...but jens..hes more metal focused keyboardist.....and fusion expert....and btw jens has the best lead sound and best solos ever..so in my opinion even rudess ( rudess is a fucking keyboard wizard and i love him ) cannot beat jens in his creative and expressive solos....JENS IS GOD OF KEYBOARD SOLOS...

[mitsubachi2]

I agree completely!

[electricamenteyo]

No man, you right...

[ErnestoMercuria]

Jens Johansson is just THE Keyboardist. Any doubt about it ?

[BSA2417666]

@ErnestoMercuria Rick Wakeman....the first pioneer. Johansson is obviously better in techinque.

[Malmsteen1990]

@ErnestoMercuria

ajajajajajajajajajajaja

ya te vi!

[JunThailand]

I also love his trilogy solo.

[okgwen]

Excellent... easy et melodic!!!!!

[Corrosive1]

Jens is the boss of god and the creator of universe

[zslivonj]

hahhaa...totally he is....hail to our lord..... i pray every evening that jens bring me more of his masterpiece every day

[EnigmasourcePiano]

@Corrosive1 There is Jordan Rudess too. =)

[Wolfie666x]

Wow!
