rusty cooley : the duel

[quilmesredlager]

1:16 for 5 seconds my fav part

[Sabatyr]

Lots of cool Becker nuances here\m/

[Zerost]

I tried playing this song and lost my legs.

[MrLaneyface]

I love this guys music but I realy want to smack that sulky lookin head off his shoulders

[usuqamadiq]

In fact, he cannot play this live because when he does, his fingers move with overlight speed and move back in time.

[newcirclecase]

A cowboy version of Y. Malmsteen. Playing fast some arpeggıous and scale exercises on the chord progressions from the songs of Britney Spears or Beatles do not create a new art or a virtuoso guitarist. The shredders world did not understand that yet. Have fun dudes....:) :) :) :)

[GTRAMPMEDIC]

Rusty Cooleys hand on a fretboard is like a Top Fuel Nitro Dragster on the 1/4 mile strip,Sad the Dragster threw its blower belt and blew the engine trying to catch him, It never had a chance !

[NikkElektrik]

@NightStreet50 No, not really, he's not.

[drawnacrol]

That end solo would melt your face if you saw Rusty play it

[danukenator123]

@drawnacrol You should cover some rusty.

[jonathanbenaroche]

@GerMaj7th well.... i didn't find anything of 'em

where can i listen to this band?

[phazomzxhunter]

@jonathanbenaroche on wikipedia seem to appear his myspace site

[jonathanbenaroche]

he needs a technical death meal band......

[Skwisgaar415]

very very skilled indeed, but uhh....i prefer Michael Angelo Batio! MAB for life! but g'damn rusty's great, i wanna chill with him

[TheSuperMarioBros2]

@Skwisgaar415 i used to kile michael angelo, but intil i heard of rusty cooley, i was like forget Michael Angelo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaveMustaineOwns]

@TheSuperMarioBros2 weird, i just decided to like both of them

[danukenator123]

@NightStreet50 For this you win every thing ever

[DudyAshley]

I do think he plays fast cause every video ive seen of him shows him playing god speed and im not sayying if you play fast you have no skill i mean... nobody can just play that fast as soon as they pick up a gutiar so hes a pretty good guitar player and does some stuff that makes me wanna go worship him

[reaperontherun716]

@NightStreet50 WTFF!!!!!!!!! 

[MetalHeadJimi93]

This song makes me want to kill Nick Jonas in a gun duel! RUSTY COOLEY IS AWESOME!!

[MrReach17]

someone put this in Guitar Hero 5.

it hurts. a lot.

how this guy still has hands is beyond me.

[LacedShit]

@MrReach17 theres a gh tab but idk if it works for anything past gh3

[MrReach17]

@LacedShit I meant that it's on GHTunes for the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero 5.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@NightStreet50

that annoys the living hell out of me just thing about this song mixed with naruto. good songs weren't meant to be mixed with crappy anime.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@NightStreet50

who mentioned naruto on a rusty cooley video? wtf?

[Six2wo]

Only 28,603 views!?!?! What the fuck!?

[mcrandnarutoluver]

One of my heroes \m/-.-

Biggest influence right now >D

[LunaticAspect]

You naysayers are just pissy cause you can't compose the kinda shit Rusty does. How do you think this shit comes out? It's all a FEEL thing. He just knows how to remember what he feels later. Idiots.

[8stringerr]

LOL at the people who have to get the last word in, this is youtube wtf? lol

[joeydahlia]

I feel like I am on Titanic..dancing..this is gay as fuck..horrid

[danukenator123]

what?

[joeydahlia]

wat ...wat????

[danukenator123]

why do you feel like your on the titanic dancing?

[joeydahlia]

This is pis poor guitar music...

[danukenator123]

that doesn't answer my question. what does this song have to do with the titanic?

[Zerost]

Learn how to spell proper English and I might give 2 shits.

[joeydahlia]

Give me your moms cell number..

[Zerost]

Forget what I said, I still don't give two shits.

[joeydahlia]

Go put on some Old Ozzy....Old Dokken

[Metalist2150]

How can he do it so clean? :o I'm speechless XD

[mykylc]

Though I respect the players...I just can't get into this. Too crowded, compressed, and not emotional at all. Nice guitar at 01:09

[galarius]

plenty of emotion...we mock what we don't understand

[mykylc]

No mocking...just my opinion.

I don't hear the emotion...like with Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page...to me it's more repetitive scales and patterns which are played to near perfection at lightning speed. Way too technical and not enough emotion and soul.

[Overture2152]

shut the fuck up with that soul bullshit i'd rather be clean and sound like this than sloppy and play the same minor scale bullshit. I mean really howcome being fast on a guitar means we're robotic? what about the fast pianists like Beethoven? what about the lightning fast runs that are in classical music? does that mean they have no soul? If you say yes to that last statement then you sir do not know shit about music.

[mykylc]

wow...angry much? It's just an opinion. Slow down, deep breaths.

[Overture2152]

@mykylc yeah an overused opinion that's just getting annoying to see on ever shredders video.

[mykylc]

Who is "ever shredder"?

[Overture2152]

its supposed to be every shredder minor mistake you think you wouldn't have to ask such a stupid question.

[mykylc]

Oh ye with little or no sense of humor.

It's not that I had to. It's that I wanted to. Just to point out your mistake to possibly fuel your anger even more seeing how you are so quick to snap. Nice punctuation champ.

[Overture2152]

@mykylc Congrats, you grammar Nazi. you care about spelling and punctuation on the internet.

[mykylc]

And capitalization. SO close! But it's only on youtube that I care about such things. You'll be ok.

[mop230]

Never start a sentence with "And".

[mykylc]

Never start a user name with "mop"

[mop230]

@mykylc Haha

[jani14jani]

@mykylc Speed has been part of music since 18th cencturay Beethooven played fast so did mozart. Every type of music has somekind of emotion/feel, i have listend Blues music, and i think that Shredding ( If its done correctly) has more emotion/feel than blues.

[Ihatemyusernamemore]

@mykylc Fag..... every single shred video has some close minded moron who wants them to play more like some blues/60'srock/indie guitarist, you don't see us going to clapton and hendrix videos and bitching that they can't play fast enough

[mykylc]

@Ihatemyusernamemore and yet another who is infatuated with the word fag.

[acdcislaw]

in technical skill: Rusty Cooley

In creativity and song writing ability: Jason Becker

[NICKHAM16]

Jason Becker is GOD!!!! Except he's paralyzed and cant play... D:

[simon12332]

jason becker bitch

[ironwolg]

i say rusty cooley :)

[MrJOHNDOEISDEAD]

THAT IS THE PROBLEM!

MAJOR BRANDS SUCK!

they appeal to the moronic masses that do not end up actually learning to play

EBAY is proof of that with all the USED guitars for sale

Fanning Frets is NOT NEW

There is also TRUE TEMPERED FRETS

Custom Makers like ED ROMAN can hook up REAL PLAYERS

[danukenator123]

fuck ed roman, hes an ass and talks shit about other brands

[damnitsht]

WTF?! 1.09 i've never seen a guitar with slanted frets!!! whY?

[Rg1527]

Just do a search on " Fanned Frets" its v common

[danukenator123]

its by no means common on guitars....

[Rg1527]

nowadays it is.....................

[danukenator123]

name 3 major brands that offer it..

[Rg1527]

Its more among shredders, no need to be an absolutel fucking douchebag about it acting all smug, go fuck yourself you elitist cunt

[danukenator123]

I not acting elitist, I just hate assholes that spread misinformation and then get pissy when people call bullshit.

[Overture2152]

hey how about you create something then asswipe?

[TheUndead3eyedBeast]

He is truly a great guitarist unlike most of those who are considered the fastest.

[metalpiolo]

scusate qualcuno sa che pick-up monta nella prima foto dove ha in mano una ibanez nera e verde(simil universe) cioè dovrebbero essere due EMG (81 e 85 credo) ma quello verde che pichk-up è? un dimarzio blaze II o cosa...aiutatemi...ciao paolo

[wolfsbane107]

a page a go someone mentioned "Fender telecrapsters". That just happens to be the guitar I am stuck with. Well I am saving up for a Schecter after playing a friends.

On topic, Rusty is a beast on a guitar. Amazing song.

[mrawsomeguy]

schecters r shit!!! jkjkjk schecters r prolly the best guitars out there... worth every penny

[Overture2152]

I find this song to be catchy as hell lol. Too me this is just pure awesome in instrumental form.

[musicForYourFace]

wow this guy can sweep

[max14jackass]

really???? :P

[kief4diamonds]

yeah rusty cooley is prob my fav...after you hear raise hell warcry and riders youll be hooked. under the influence is awesome. but my personal fav now is dark matter, but all youtube has is guitar hero bs.

[staticxfrk]

LOL i know who wants to watch some faggot play a video game, they need to get real GEETARS

[tastefulphrasing]

For a little guy, hes gotta mean stretch

[liamMaru]

1:44, someone picked up a red mushroom!

[FBDMatt]

dude, funniest comment i've ever read. much props!

[MerchantOfDeath69]

stop talking about jason becker on rustys song. go talk about him somewhere else and leave rusty out this.

[scarter180]

Dude, Jason Becker was one of Rusty's main influences. Give the man some credit! He's probably one of the most talented guitar players to ever walk the Earth.

[chosenbyfate]

i think schecter are brilliant...playin a hellraiser tempest nd it makes me sound more decent than i deserve to sound!

[MerchantOfDeath69]

he may not be the best songwriter, but DAMN hes fast!!!! 3:22 - 3:45

[soitupapy]

you are right man

[m3ta1h3ad145218]

i like cooley but i prefer loomis

[deanneugebauer]

They are both great.

[galarius]

Loomis and Cooley are the shit...whoever thumbed down m3ta1h3ad145218 is not being very thoughtful a sthey are probably the 2 heaviest shredders worth listening 2

[GuitarShredderCZ]

you are fucking retard,,, shit ,, motherfucker suck,,,, go to hell shit

[GuitarShredderCZ]

Rusty is one of my guitar idol,,,,, never call him "shit"

[Shredwizard445]

No he didn't, he was diagnosed with ALS after he joined up with David Lee Roth. Jason Becker is an AMAZING guitar player. Listen to the Blackberry and Raspberry Jams to get ahold of his softer stuff. Cacophony's Speed Metal Symphony and Go Off! are neo-classical albums with Marty Friedman. He does Jazz, Country, and Blues on Raspberry and Blackberry Jams and all of those songs are soulful and beautiful. PurpleDrink what the fuck are you talking about, I have heard Cooley play wonderful bluesrock

[jan1080]

Eh? And that's why Dean's/Ibanez/Jacksons are/were used by Dimebag, Paul Gilbert, Chris Broderick, Tony Macalpine, Marty Friedman etc...?

They're all good guitar brands, though I've had some bad luck with Dean's myself. That's my own personal preference clashing with the model I tried... And I now mostly play a Schecter.

[liamMaru]

Dean make great guitars, but god damn they're ugly as fuck.

[bungholio80]

yea man check out his album called perpetual burn it's great music.

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

no, search Cacophony

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

both jason becker (when he played guitar) and cooley just write neoclassical solos after another.

nothing more nothing less

[thefakeatrosity]

rusty is 1 of the best guitar players no doubt and theres nothing wrong with jacksons there amazing guitars i prefer deans myself but thats just me peace =I

[bungholio80]

wow now I know for sure that I don't like rusty

[myfretsareonfire]

then why are you watching this video

[bungholio80]

Cause i wanted to find out if I liked his playing

[theshreddingking101]

hmmmm

[crazyguitar753]

dude i know i went through my whole jason becker phase and i have learned concerto so dont talk to me like i dont know jason becker but rusty has his technique down better like nothing against jason he is an inspiration to us all

[bungholio80]

lol yea and technique is the best thing about him, his writing stinks, especially on this song, it's just a bunch of boring shredding. Jason actually wrote GREAT music.

[HEXPB]

his writing does stink and its not boring shredding. Jason becker is surely probably one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived, but dont put down other guitarists because of it.

[Desimodontidae]

jesus... that's some fast picking

[ExtremeBogom]

He plays parts of this song in one of his earlier instructionals

[Vansaligh]

what an inhuman playing lol

[mrgrabit]

Uh... CHUCK SCHULDINER!

[GitarrPwnz]

lol I can't tell if you're joking but I'll say you are.

[atreides444]

yeah, like no one ever does :(

[gyoden]

jason becker!!!

[crazyguitar753]

i love jason becker and his story and jason probably would be better than rusty if he could still play guitar but rusty can play and jason cant and the stuff that jason has come out with isnt anything compared to rusty's

[Likfisken]

This would be interesting in Guitar Hero ;).

[drawnacrol]

Ha,I'll rephrase that;) I'd love to see Rusty play the end solo

[drawnacrol]

such an awesome song,I'd love to see somebody play the end solo

[iluv2laugh978]

id love to see somebody try lol

[tannerwilleford]

awesome!!!!!
