  • lol hes so epic but his face looks like its going to melt of, when i saw Obituary live i was surprised it didnt just fall off onto the floor

  • A truly incredible and shamefully underrated guitarist. Santolla is one of my favourite players.

  • SUCH A BADASS

  • @gastong16 That song has a fucking amazing solo!

  • @gastong16 which solo in homage for satan, theres two, one played by ralph, then one by jack

  • @n3crocannibal ralph solo :)

  • @n3crocannibal 1st ralph (fucking brilliant) 2nd Jack

  • shit man this is a very awesome Betcha cant play this!

  • 1:55 - 2:07 i think is an amazing riff/solo bit

  • I love his style. Great player with a really unique way of playing.

  • I would sell my dad to play on that dean from hell!!!!

  • it must've been an honor for him to play the guitar that once belonged to Dimebag Darrell.

  • He's got a very fluid-sounding legato style. 

  • holy shit his playing is fluid as fuck

  • Dean Guitars Rock my World but who is this guy? :)

  • @dirtydonki he was in Deicide

  • Bet I can't play that? I KNOW I can't play that. haha.

  • i would give my right nut yo even touch the original dean from hell. he gets to shred on it. fucker

  • @ReVVVern At least he did it justice.

  • Lets see you playing bitch....

  • @absoluteGODhatred

    Are you any better?

    I dont think so.

    Id quit talking shit if I were you

  • i love his style. Basically what I'm looking for in a guitarist.

  • imagine playing dimebag's guitar... man

  • Cool run, but it sounds like he's playing it through a cheap amp, which is unfortunate, I'd love to hear this lick through a quality rig in a quality environment.

  • Even if it was through a good amp, it would only sound as good as the camera could record.

  • Ralph rules guys

    Can you stop ripping on Deicide if you actually listen to them they are a actually a very good Old School Death Metal Band!

  • Just curious, do you not like Death Metal in general or just Deicide.

  • What an honor to play Dime's guitar!

  • Glen Benton is the lead singer/bassist of the band Deicide, very famous death metal band from Florida

  • @ButcheredChildren,"very" famous?!?!? lmfao!! Famous to all 211 fans. Again, LMFAO.

  • Actually, they are extremely famous. They are one of the founders of Death Metal. Ask ANYONE that claims to be a fan of metal and they will know who Deicide is.

  • ;D lmao

  • Did you hear the latest?? Glen Benton and Trey Azagthoth were arrested for public fighting. Tuesday night (1-02-10) at a club in Florida, they were both backstage and Glen came onto Trey. i guess Trey got pissed off for Glen's sexual advances and stomped his ass. Anyway, now it a big legal thing nad Glen's denying his latent sexual feelings for Trey. He's trying to hush it up. Fucking funny how the wannabe stud of death metal is a closet homo. lmao....so much for his career.

  • @shredder1965 Glen Benton is married with kids... I doubt they were "sexual" advances, and Glen would probably kick Trey's ass. xD

  • Maybe Glen is Bi? Basically, Glen wanted to suck Trey's dick, and Trey kicked him in the teeth.

  • Ahahah. Doubt it

  • @shredder1965 1-02-10 was on a saturday,,,,where did u get your info

  • @absoluteGODhatred I meant 02-02-10. sorry.

  • I'm seeing alot of people bashing Ralph but this dude fucking owns on Stench of Redemption and trust me, he knows alot of theory

  • he is indeed the fucking shit. i wish i was as good as him. it sucks that he gets so much shit for being in deicide. i think the stench of redemption is fucking shredtastic.

  • yeah i agree, stench was pretty awesome but till death do us part was pretty terrible i think, his work with Obituary on the other hand is just downright amazing i think

  • I'm respectfully agaisnts everyone who saids Ralph suck, cause I'm honestly a witness of his talent and he deserves a lot of merit.

  • this guy owns on Deicide's Stench of Redemption.

  • that tone is so cool

  • I hate people who are just like "shredding sucks! Have some emotion!" First of all, all music has emotion. A lot of shredding shows different emotions by the way the notes are played and the context in which they are played. Second of all, this is a segment called "Betcha can't play this" which is a segment of shred guitarists playing very fast. It's not about emotion. Third of all, it obviously takes lots of skill to do that. And on top of all that, some people like fast playing! Its an opinion

  • @Manowar4life1234 I agree. Shredding IS EMOTION. Thats why I get a hard on when i hear it. And YES this video is for shredders NOT for David Gilmour "one note milkers". I love David but if I want to hear shredding I have to listen to something a little faster. So screw anyone who thinks that Ralph has no emotion.

  • i use the bridge for everything i just use the tone knob to alter it

  • He did it slowly?

  • i gotcha, bridge pickup is good for rythem and you get a nice bite when doing chugs and speed picking, neck pickup is nice and smooth and you feel like your gliding instead of having to worry about muting the strings to keep the solos sounding clean when on the bridge pickup.

  • i love to use the neck pickup, but i hate switching it.

  • Comment removed

  • yes i agree thats what i do

  • I decided I don't care anymore, whatever works

  • he's playing scales, what's wrong with that? have you heard any of his solos before? no? then listen and then comment

  • I've seen and heard him play for far too many times now... Everytime I try to stay fresh and give him another chance, but every single time it is just as horrible as it was the last time I heard him. This guy has no feeling for timing, dynamics, melody and does not know how to relate his soloing to the music he is soloing over. He sounds like he's practicing his scales very fast, that's all...

  • yea i sorta agree. i dont think he is horrible.. he just isnt the best in death metal. i just enjoyed his playing on Deicide's Stench of Redemption

  • Comment removed

  • I thought you couldn't make pentatonic licks impressive anymore (after Zakk Wylde used the crap out of the scale). I was proven wrong

  • That because your not listening to Zakk's rhythm guitar with pinch harmonics in every riff along the solo!

  • Wow.

  • Great player, but it's hard to watch anyone but dime play that guitar (I'm sure he wouldn't have minded tho!)

  • What a fuckin idiotic thing to say. Get back under your rock.

  • What the hell kind of name is necrofaggot? Do you fuck dead guys in the ass?

  • yes actually

  • lol bet he is!

  • @lighteningboy lmao yeah, "lighteningboy" is 10x cooler

  • @KGPofficial Yeah, it is

  • @lighteningboy ahahaha aww fuck thats like one of the funniest comments I've ever read.

  • @lighteningboy Probably a play on the band Necrophagist's name.... dude you are a little bit annoying.

  • @tgnu Hey, you are a good guitar player...

    Something must have inspired me to make that comment...Maybe I had been drinkin beers...

  • necrofagg0t, you have obviously never played a classic Dimebag Darrell guitar.

  • Whats wrong with neck pickups? Bridge and neck pickups both have their place

  • well nothings wrong with it, it's just more badass to be able to sound super clean on the bridge pick up

  • why the hell do you post shit on every video ??!!! I remember you from the alexi laiho vid when you called Dream Theater gay... get a life...

  • I disagree. Most passive bridge pickups that have the insane high output ppl like in real death metal will over drive your amp even with minimal gain. For that reason its hard to get a truly clean sound. So its either insane overdrive and distortion or clean. Thats why neck pickup. obviously that doesn't apply to this guitar it looks like though.

  • yeah, I know the bridge pick ups sound a lot dirtier, that's why it's more bad ass to get a clean tone out of, just means you got awesome fingers and pay a lot attention to tone and detail

  • Cool sound!

  • This video really shows how the sound is really in your fingers. Ralph basically got the same tone with the ml as he did with the v

  • i don't like such solos, so what?

    you, goto hell.

  • yeah its kool how nice or chill most death metal musicians are

  • ummm, no.... If youre into death metal to be an asshole than you have mental issues. You do know that most death metal bands, not all but MOST, DONT want you to go out and do the violent imagery they have in their lyrics? Music, especially metal that heavy, is meant to be a release. If youre taking it to the point where its about "hate, war, and death" only, then you have as much as a fucking problem as the religious morons you like to insult.

  • amen :D

  • he seems like a pretty nice guy

  • No it isn't anti-religion it's rebellious against everything. I know about death metal you idiot, and i called you a poser because you said this sucked but ralph owns.

  • fuck you you can't do any better you poser! how is that ignorant? he isn't in deicide because of religion, he's in it for the good music you fucking retard, go to hell douche bag

  • death metal is death metal. It about the music not what you beleve in.

  • thats what i've heard. dude tom of slayer defines his religion as catholic. but seriously who cares?

  • ...don't want to!

  • lol

  • "that was a B minor pentatonic thiing" ahhaha

  • He needs to comb his hair every month whether it needs it or not.

  • man, he looks pretty old.

  • no he was on scars

  • no, he wasnt

  • He wasn't on Scars.

  • i would give everything to play that guitar

  • if you play it it will zap you

  • well , i think he made the best deicide album...Stench

  • ralph's a great player, and a good friend! tampa bay had more great guitarists than any other city i ever lived in, other than nashville!

  • No.

  • a satanist is not literally ment as a devil worshipper, it literally translates as rebel or of rebellion, i remember picking that up somewhere

  • The original Hebrew meaning of Satan was the opposer, therefore to be a Satanist is to be part of the opposition rather than a worshiper of an invisible evil being.

  • An opposer is anyone who goes against the religion, not just necessarily a satanist.

  • I was saying that if you are a Satanist you're an opposer, not that if you're an opposer you're a Satanist. I said, "therefore to be a Satanist is to be part of the opposition" not "therefore to be part of the opposition is to be a Satanist".

  • R.I.P Dimebag

  • if yer referring to me as one of the ags to call dimebag sloppy xD yer retarted xDD i mean this dude right in this video xD hes sloppy xD a fat sloppy bitch xDDDD

  • no they can't

  • no but punjabi mc can

  • Let's see these nu metal tards play like that.

  • xD.....hes really sloppy xD isnt that great xD

  • who u talking abt ?

  • this dude ^

    when they play live he fucks up alot....well everyone does xD for some reason whenever you sit down....guitar is easier hhahahah

  • hahaha " b minor pentatonic thing"

  • It really shows your fingers has alot to do with ton cuz even when he plays DIme's guitar is sounds very similar to the tone he got with the V

  • great guitarist, Deicide is lucky band to have guys like him or Jack Owen

  • B-Minor penatonic thing XD.

  • Shut the fuck up about that overrated redneck monkey.

  • Since when did guitar playing become competition? I thought it was all about having fun and making music to express yourself. Not about bragging how bad ass of a shredder you are.

  • He probably got some Dime skin cells on him.

    Lucky bastard.

    RIP Dime

  • iguiratguy.. pantera where never bigger than metallica and i love pantera!.. dime only worked for 3 days in his life at captin d's.. then persued music.. and that alont is a rock and roll dream so any 1 talkin shit about dime can go swallow a brick..

  • Jesus couldnt have done better

  • you would never expect this guy to be in a satan worshipping band

    ralph fucking rules!

  • he is known to be a devout christian, and the band isnt really devil worshipping it all for show, just like directors who make horror movies arent zombie worshippers

  • are u fucking retarded have u seen glen benton?! the guy branded an inverted cross on his forehead oh but i forgot thats just for show . retard

  • i'm sure it is.... anyway.,.. everyone to their opinions, no need to bash or tell someone he's a retard... we can all be wrong... shit happens...

  • Glen Benton acctually does claim to worship satan, and he acctually really hates Christians. He probly accepted Ralph cause he's an awesome guitarist and seems to be a cool guy. But the extent of blasphemy in their music does make it seem like it's for show.

  • i know he claims all sorts of shit like that. if he is a true satanist. satan is probably laughing his ass of at him.

  • haha yeah, most of the time i find deicide's lyrics to be like something a middle school "satanist" would say "oh, im a badass, i worship the devil, you should be scared of me!"

  • who cares if they are satanists or not. they make good music and thats what they are there for. they are hard working musicians with alot of talent. the satanist bullshit is all show. the stupid fucking fans take everything for real tho

  • Well the thing about that is that Glen Benton is an actual Satanist.He worships Satan and that is his religion.He even branded an upside down cross in his forehead to show his loyalty.

  • ralph santolla is a christian and so is deicides drummer. glen benton is actually a pimple on the death metal worlds ass. and ralph played wonderfully in death.

  • Because of his religion?You are a pathetic peace of crap if you think you can judge somone by their religion. Go die, if anyones a pimple on death metal it's you.

  • no sir, because the dude sucks. ralph is pretty metal however.

  • Ralph is an amazingly talented guitarist anyone can tell that. But what makes glen so talented is the fact that he plays bass and death growls EXTREMELY well. But hes bass skills have dropped extremely since hes earlier work just listen to homage for satan or scars of the crusifix theyre the easiest songs ever to play andf the bass is literal something I learnt right after learning iron man 2 years ago...Holy crap your right he does suck. Good singer though.

  • i love his vocals though ay. swear his possesed. he sounds like 2 guys at once lol.

  • He does the low and then does the highs and moxes them in the studio, its a cool trick and sounds great. But he cant actualy do that live hell just do highs or have jack do the highs while he does the lows.

  • god i fuckin love Ralph's solos

  • hey all u cunts bad mouthing Dimebag calling him "sloppy" n etc, how bout u internet bitches post a video playing better than Dimebag? yeah you silly cunts calling him sloppy can't do shit on the guitar compared to Dimebag

  • "that was a b-minor pentatonic thing" haha wow nice

  • My point was the man has passed away and played his role in paving the way for future guitarist and should not be down trotted. He should be respected for what he accomplished even if it is not your thing..

  • I will tell you this. He was a very, very good guitarist and way better than the guitarist of Atreyu. He is a legend, and I didn't even listen to him that much but respect him. This guy is sloppy in this video, but I have listened to u & u are very sloppy as well. You evidently do not live around really good guitarist & I know u don't live close to me...If u did we could do a little head cuttn contest where u loose ur guitar & rig if u get shown up. Been playn for 27 years, liked to have yours.

  • what happens if he puts it on the bridge pickup then plays that. i bet it sounds horribly sloppy.

  • I live around guitarist, And i have never been shown up. They all envy me. If you could see my play live maybe you would change your mind. Cameras do that have the sound quality our ears do. I admit I'm really not that good, And another thing. I hate Atreyu lol. And i agree with you about the emo crap lol. Generic emo voices are terrible. and when I recorded that video i thought they were good. I'm sorry we got off to a rocky start. can we call this a truce?

  • alright man we can call it a truce, i just get pissed when people say anything about dead people yanno? Its all good though, its all about metal and how it brings us metalheads together even if its in a bad way haha, it bands us all together as one. Keep it metal dude

  • I understand completely.. Keep it metal.

  • i kinda agree a little. while Dimebag was good, he wasnt as great as people say he is, or make him out to be. he will be missed though, cuz pantera was pretty good, but we still got Rex, Phil and Vinnie

  • Thankyou. I'm glad someone feels the same way I do.

  • i already had one discussion about this subject on this video, but i'll say it again: dimebags genious is not in his technique, it was his sound. the true great solo guitarists aren't defined on how fast they can play. they are defined by people hearing them and instantly knowing that it is them. dimebag did that, and almost started the whole revolution of groove metal. it was him that wrote the biggest pantera songs and it was him that was the heart and soul of the band.

  • i am not taking anything away from rex and vinnie and ohil by the way.

  • He was an innovator. I mean Eddie Van Halen may not be as good as Steve Vai has come to be but he paved the way, just as Dimebag did. They were bigger than Metallica at one time. I didn't even listen to that type music but respect him as any guitarist should.

  • Please put down a riff and just not only shred!!!

    Come on take down the shit with a fucked up death metal riff (he is A death metal guitarist so)

  • thats because your a bitch

  • How does that make me a female dog? Its funny I just said i didn't miss him. And i don't miss him. He wasn't that good. God bless you dude.

  • It makes you a disrespectful idiot, and I garantee you cant even play with a comment like "he wasnt that good". Once again you are an idiot. God bless you doesnt make you any less of a piece of shit either for spewing pointless hate

  • that was pretty good, some one said mine was but idk.. not alot of comments. i dont think its that good though

  • Chuck billy and Kerry King has stated multiple times that writing all these satanic and apocalyptic stuff are just like movie creator writing a horror story. It's all for entertaintment and if there's people who follow those lyric literally then they're a pyscho.

  • No, no I cannot play that.

  • 1:18 - 1:21

    |: LMAO

    does he sound like a high-school computer nerd or is it just me?

  • lmao he even scratches his nose like one! :P

  • Kid he aint a nerd. We played together in the early 80's in tampa, florida. he was a pussy gettin' pot smokin asshole, but we had a good band. No....ralph wasnt a nerd for sure.
