  • Jason Becker = <3

    Yngwie Malmsteen = <3 <3 <3

  • sea como sea creo que malmsteen debe de sentirse la persona mas grandiosa del mundo al saber que jason Becker. el mas grande de todos decidio interpretar una obra suya.

    a pesar de que la toque mejor debe ser un honor para malmsteen

  • una de las mejores canciones de Yngwie Malmsteen pero mejor tocada por jason becker simplemente eso si no hubiese enfermado becker creo que Yngwie Malmsteen no seia quien es

  • The real question is if the guy who uploaded the video was asking who's better at playing Black Star or just using it as a comparision for asking who's the better guitarist. In case it's the first, obviously Malmsteen cause he plays it like for a concert, nobody would go to a Malmsteen concert to see him playing it in a shitty/funny way. In case it's the second, well obviously Jason, he is a much more creative musician/composer, Yngwie stayed with his style in almost all his career.

  • BECKER !!!

  • another thing anyone noticed jasons amp yep hes playing through a little peavey practise amp and still sounds as good as yngwie who has 5 marshall stacks and pedal boards so in my opinion becker was light years more advanced than yngwie

  • becker was a young teenager here where as yngwie was in his early twenties when he played the song and jason surpassed yngwie by the mid 80,s just a fucking shame what happened to jason he would of gone on to much greater things like his friend marty friedman did

  • WTF, u cant compare... Malmsteen is a Human and Becker is a GOD

    (how many ppl can play malmsteen albums ... how many ppl can play serrana (a tempo) and speed metal symphony)

  • Malmsteen obviously played this better, but Becker is by far the better composer.

  • Malmsteen is a great inspiration, and composer and everything, i think he's done a lot, and i respect him, but Becker wrote an album note by note, each instrument, just with his eyes, nothing can beat that, sorry.

  • @lordmd133 That's a damn good point.

  • malmsteen for ever !!!!!!!

  • Yngwie Malmsteen se volvió gordo cuando vio el vídeo de Becker y callo en depresión!

  • Becker!!!! \m/ malmsteen solo es más farol XD

  • malmsteen it's better in my opinion

  • Of course... Malmsteen played this better (for obvious reasons) , but as an overall musician/guitar player Jason is leagues above, leagues above.

  • JB better to slash (shit)...but not better than Malmsteen

  • @zeldaoftime

    Lol, we have to remember that not only was Jason younger, but he also was playing around with Malmsteen's song. Playing over his head, under his leg, with his teeth. He wasn't taking it seriously. And honestly, as a guitarist Jason's songs are much more difficult than Malmsteen's.

  • @zeldaoftime Im sorry but u obviously dont know much about guitar playing... putting slash in same group with jason and malmsteen is fing stupid

  • @filipmajstorovic Yeah it's stupid but not because Slash is not good, it's just not the same kind of rock, it's like comparing Bob Dylan and Paul Gilbert.... that's what you meant right?

  • @polipoli8 Yeah.. thats it.

  • Malmsteen kill it!!!!!

  • Jason > Malmsteen, just my opinion.

  • becker the best dan genius guitaris in the world...he just play guitar from 4 until 19 years...after that he is sick until now...poor jason becker....the best guitaris ever...:)..in this video jason becker in 16th years old..:)

  • @milatherosa Ok He is 16 years old but Yngwie wrote " Black Star " in he age of 17...

  • @Kenjifly and jason becker was 17 when he wrote the whole fucking perpetual burn album and not only is he a shredder, but he's also a magnificent composer that still does it after being paralyzed, unlike malmsteen that is the same fucking shredding pattern he always uses except he just switches it a bit on some of the melodies... so sir, your point has been invalidated...btw jason becker perpetually burns every guitarist out there...Period.

  • @milatherosa i think malmsteen best years are when he was in alcatrazz so when he was about 20 years old so you could compare them.But neither are better.Becker does to much legato.If we just compared the clear shred with no legato i think Yngwie would win.But all in all Becker has more versatility and he is not worse than Malmsteen yet he is not better...I like the alcatrazz Yngwie more but thats just my oppinion...But from a neutral point they are Both virtuosos with a diferent style thats all

  • Malmsteen composed it and practically invented this style of playing AND has toured stadiums. I love Becker but fair is fair, Yngwie gets my vote.

  • @MonsterGuitarX evidently you never heard of Uli Jon Roth. Uli had been doing neo classical over a decade before anyone heared of Yngwie.

  • seeing yngwie do his little pelvic thrusts in his spray on pants always makes me laugh. imagine Paganini doing that he would have been burned at the steak xD

  • If jason would have played till date, he would have had malmsteen satriani vai for breakfast dude! Respect !!!!

  • Never, dude! Technically - maybe, but melodically Vai and Satch are the best!

  • @vigen92  dude! jason played only for 4 5 years.....

  • I can't agree with the previous comments. The song here,Black Star,is not the hardest song to play. I'm 17 and I can pretty much play the same, that Becker played and I'm not the best guitar player. I'm not bragging about my skills,but I just wanna say that Jason Becker isn't really doing something far beyond most guitar players. And Yngwie was 16 when he wrote the song. He is far more creative and has flawless technique. His bends and improvisation are out of this world! So Yngwie ALL THE WAY!!

  • @PetersRockinTheWorld I agree. Malmsteen has more control, better vibrato. Jason was great don't get me wrong, he was probably even better than malmsteen at sweeps and stuff, he may have had an overall edge in speed as well. But malmsteen is at least as good of a songwriter/composer, and he just has that vibrato and that melodic sound that i've never heard anyone replicate perfectly. I definitely prefer malmsteen especially in this song.

  • Ofcourse Becker...

  • Hope Jason won the talent show.

  • Jason becker

  • Jason becker is the best...!!! 

  • Jason Becker!!!! (Y)

  • jason is  a real fan of malmsteen.......:D......but no way to be a vs .. malmsteen es so much better on bends and arpegios ....

  • @aronmarrano if u talk about arpegio then jason eats in breakfast

  • first of all its quite too probable tht jason learned it by ear.. thts why some parts sound different.. and anyways i bet when yngwie was 18 he couldnt play any jason becker themes as good as himself... both are great players.. although personally i like more jason becker music and it sucks he got ALS..

  • Respect to Jason playing as he did, BUT... saying that he played it better then Malmsteen is ridiculous.

    Malmsteens intonation is superb. And age-wise, Malmsteen recoreded this song when he was 18.

  • @phileasfogg07 and jason recorded Speed Metal Symphony when he was 18, and perpetual burn with 19 yo, so it is'nt ridiculous say that jason played at the same level or better that Yngwie at his age

  • @kmilohr27 That is something we could argue about, for sure. But this video is not.

  • Jason makes this song look too easy.

  • stop comparing, dumbasses! they're both better than you will ever be. How can everyone keep disrespecting a neo-classical legend like malmsteen. they are playing together not against one Another.

  • Comment removed

  • *fabulously ;-)

  • Well, maybe you don´t like Yngwie Malmsteens outgoing-I-am-the-king-of-the-­world personality, and his flambouyant rock n´roll-lifestyle and that he´s got a faboulusly (can you spell the word in that way?) beautiful wife (daaamn you Yngwie), but all of you, c´mon man! Despite of all this He IS the number 1 on guitarr, you just have to bow for that!

  • Jason is much better theres no comparision end of the topic.Jason Rulesss the best guitarist that ever walked this planet.

  • @kytrev27 hes better at sweeps. I agree in some ways hes technically a little bit better. But Malmsteen has better control and better vibrato, better tone, more melody overall. They're both amazing guitarists, one is not better than the other.

  • And I would like to see Becker live, playing Perpetual Burn. I think he sucks on the stage . But Yngwie is best on records, and on stage too !

  • @TheLobogm Jason suffers from fuckin' ALS. He's in a wheelchair, you moron. 

  • this is a video of Jason in highschool...put him at Malmsteen's age and ask him to play this...it wouldn't have been worth his time

  • I like the two even if I think that guitar and gymnastic are two differents disciplines I don't see the interest to be able to play under his leg, musically speaking Malmsteen has a more fluid way to play an he has more tonality change that make his way to play more rich, the Jason Becker way of playing even if it is of hight level is more flat but also interesting. I don' like too much the X VS Y I would prefer to see X with Y playing together it would be more interesting. From Belgium, Pierre.

  • is becker trying to insult malmsteen? with a shitty playing of black star?

  • BECKER IS PLAYING LIKE BECKER AT WIMBLEDON! CHAMPIONSHIP GUITAR PLAYING! TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BY BECKER!

  • Malmsteen is better obviously, it is his song...BUT Jason was a way better player and composer than M in my opinion.

  • well...lets consider jason was younger and malmsteen has the equipment for a real live concert...anyway, i may say yngwie is improvising over his own track, while becker is trying to play it just like the real version, so its hard to compare.

  • i know jason is more technical than malmsteen ... but i prefer the malmsteen version...it sound better to me. this is just my opinion

  • THE SAME SHIT.

  • why do all these 'guitar hero' songs have absolutly shithouse drums?

    CANNIBAL CORPSE!!!

  • 1:03 nice pelvic thrusts

  • jason becker le rompe el culo con su propio tema !!!

  • No comparison....Malmsteen struggles, Becker is smooth doesn't have to

    over compensate it just comes naturally.....

  • Jason Is Much Better Than Malmsteen... Only God can Match Jason

  • Bend of Malmsteen is better

  • Malmsteen [The Winer]

  • Just remember, Jason is practically in high school when he played this.

  • @ARMEDSh0t what do you mean practically?you mean literally. dude it was a high school talent show,its not like he wasnt in high school and the only venue he could find was a fucking highschool cafeteria..lol

  • Jason Beckers Masturbatory playing could never match Malmsteens Elegance....even tho jason becker is equally as great

  • @TrollRaper69 Jason Becker has got style.

  • @ARMEDSh0t

    jason becker is better than Yngwie ,paganini and satan because he is GOD

  • @ARMEDSh0t malmsteen !!!!!!!

    

  • Not until Ygnwie can play the sweeps to serrana and/or create something better than that Yngwie will get his ass handed to him by Becker *~*

  • yngwie, his harmonics and playing is cleaner

  • Keep in mind that Malmsteen has all professional equipment in his video while it appears that Becker is playing through a practice amp and just messing around the entire time. While still being just as good and much more entertaining.

  • both are great, but i don't know why ppl hate malmsteen...

  • 2:04 randy rhoads? :D

  • jason is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaar better than this asshole

  • BECKER

  • MALMSTEEN= THE BEST!

  • i prefer becker

  • @123MetallicA1234 just a conformism.

  • @kitun667 malmsteen is the best

  • @fiorymarquez antycomformism? :D

  • U r not born pathetic to idolize them without grabbing the guitar....Grab ur guitar and b greater than them, that's wat u shud aim for..not talkin bout gossips and hearsays... lets play real music!!!!!!!!!

  • Try comparing Jason Becker to Vai, Petrucci and Satriani.......u know it wud b difficult...so stop comparing....Better play the guitar and master this blackstar and hopefully, u myt b the nxt malmsteen or becker sumday...play dis song..The artists of this song is not our business ...its how we can b like them sumday!!!!!!!!!

  • i wud still go for Malmsteen...they r both great but..the impact on recording and live itself, Malmsteen seems effortless when playing...and his technique is more appropriate to classical music...Becker is more of a progressive rock with a classical flavor but jst a flavor...Malmsteen's notes are very unique and is nearest to voilin sound which is very classical..They r both great, but without Malmsteen, they'll never b a Json Becker...

  • Becker had covered Malmsteen's Black Star. Now, I would like to see Malmsteen covered Becker's Perpetual Burn.

  • ..have people ever taken in consideration, that Becker was what, 17? when he did his cover, in HIGHSCHOOL with crappy 17-year-old-highschool gear, Malmsteen was at least in his 20's, and had full-pro gear, and a longer career..i base my opinion on that little fact, that Becker totally Owned Malmsteen

  • @KeyOfStrife Yeah but you take count about that the father and the uncle of Jason was guitarists and he start to play at 5 years, Yngwie start when he has 12 after star to listen classicla music...

    Whitout Yngwie we don´t know waht would happen whit Jason, Yngwie was like isnoiration for him....

  • all the ppl who say malmsteen is better are mainly uneducated 13-17 year old kids that havent even heard or studied the work of becker who is the superior player. dont get me wrong malmsteen is a legend and i adore his work as well but u have to give it up to becker

  • You cant compare two guitarist because they are different in many ways like their style their composition level their feeling their speed or their technique

  • Malmsteen is the most difficult player in guitar of all world, who's say to me that is not true?. in matters musical beats no Yngwie, there may be very fast but many guitarists I repeat, in the whole scheme is no better musical.

  • @MAWthrashMETALbanger yngwie's not that difficult compared to vai,becker and alot of the stuff today

  • @MAWthrashMETALbanger malmsteen is the most difficult? what? is is just because he plays harmonic minor? i love malmsteen and respect his work and no doubt he is amazing but becker is sheer brilliance and more technical, just look up his stuff. air, concerto, altitudes its amazing especialy for his age. Becker is a legacy on its own level in the sense that even tho he is a vegetable he still writes music

  • @prodirockerd tell me, how long the Career have Jason? "and how long have malmsteen?? malsmteen not just because he plays harmonic minor, I acknowledge that Becker is an excellent guitarist but so far nobody has been able to do better things mamlsteen, and the biggest proof is that of today, Becker making a Malmsteen cover, I have always found people like you, but just because they like Jason, or Satriani, Vai, etc say they are better than malmsteen, friends show me it is better Becker,

  • @MAWthrashMETALbanger why do ask stupid questions that have already been answered? why do u rely how long a career is? how is proof that malmsteen is better in the sense that becker can cover him? if anything it shows that malsteens work is childs play for becker. when have u seen malmsteen try to play "air" or "concerto"? never and its because he cant. and dont say "i have always found people like you" it only expresses your arrogance and ignorance. dont get me wrong i love malmsteen

  • @prodirockerd and I want an answer excellently structured, tell you if you play guitar or know anything about music, if not better not to think. What is the best play of jason?

  • @MAWthrashMETALbanger

    do you want my auto biography with that? dont expect what you clearly cannot do( im referring to " answer excellently structured")

    then again dont reply at all

  • It's just a game for Jason play this song, just that. hahaha

    Imagine now a present day, a live duel with both, who wins????

    Of course Jason Becker

  • both are awesome Jason and Yngwie. Who wins? both, but Jason like Kelly Simonz = more creative.

    Jason Becker a true prodigy guy.

  • Life is so unfair . Forget the compare and stuff. Look at Jason's luck...

  • 1:04 Rihanna shakes her ass like yngwie

  • Os dois são (eram), mas Jason becker DESTRUIA na Guitarra sem muitos instrumentos acompanhando...

  • why is the «VS»? Is this a fight? I, honestly, prefer YJM but i also like jason becker, theres no reason to fight

  • @DiogoAlmeida95 You can compare artists, there's nothing wrong about that.

  • a cover never will be the same.. is not better or badest.... just different

  • Jason Becker - Mabels Fatal Fable... game over

  • let Malmsteen try to play altitudes by jason becker and laugh your asses off.

  • @BroadswordTULL lol! i would die laughing to that!

  • @BroadswordTULL even batter, let him play perpetual burn, and grab some popcorn, you got your self some comedy!

  • @BroadswordTULL better perpetual burn and after that malmmsteen will never dare to play jason's licks again

  • come on you cant cant compare them with the cheap homemade jason video , just look at his amp lol .. still jason is 100000000 times better than Yng just by the fact he is more versatile and doesnt play the same scale in all he's songs ,, oh btw jason is faster , and if you dont freakin belive me , just watch the COMPLETE AIM clinic ,, and besides , yngwie is a dick in person and well ,,, jason is not :P

  • a think that Becker is better because he doesn't still have much money in this video and he learn that song of Yngwie by ear and not with a tablature but is only my opinion

  • Becker is a true innovator, Yngwie is a by the books, talented guitarist. There is no comparison. I love them both but whoever doesn't respect Jason Becker for his talent is clearly NOT a guitarist. Open your ears and listen to how repetitive Yngwie is.

  • Becker is better than in this video. Listen to his solo album!

    I would like to hear Malmsteen playing Perpetual Burn.

  • @zymoon

    Yeah!

    Nobody can't play Perpetual burn album like Jason Becker.

    Jason Becker Rulez!

  • @zymoon True !!! =)

  • just listen to altitudes and images and you will think differently about YJM

  • Jason is superior technique wise and taste wise to YJM an pretty much every other guitarist in the last 50 years

  • si hubiera tenido el sonido que tiene malmsteen en sus conciertos todo el equipo jason hubiera sonado mejor que malmsteen

  • @XBlueshunterX

    En una competencia real cara a cara (estando en buena salud nuestro querido Amigo Jason) quien creen que ganaria? en un duelo, sabemos bien quien le daria a quien una clinica de guitarra, por supuesto Jason Becker haria ver al Maestro (Malmsteen) como un simple aficionado en la guitarra, porque? por muchas razones, entre ellas que Becker es o fue un chico mas versatile dominando varios estilos Yngwie no, el solo se concentro en su Técnica y un solo estilo.

  • @XBlueshunterX

    Aunque ambos tienen un feeling inigualable.

  • Yo me quedo con Becker! I like more Becker Than Yngwie!but I think thats both of this are incredible!

  • malmsteen creo esto y en esta cancion malmsteen no puede ser mejorado, pero becker es todo un maestro tambien

  • all these comments, you wonder why these guys are so damn arrogant....

    yeah they're good, but still...

  • Yngwie Malmsteen wrote Black Star in 1977 when he was 14 and in his Band Power House.

  • Yngwie Johann Malmsteen owns becker !! Becker's Black Star version sounds horrid... There's no comparision...

    Malmsteen = Timeless Shredder

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg of course becker's version sounds horrid. its on a little peavy amp in the middle of some highschool... yngwie is playing a live show with some badass P.A system im sure.

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg There is no doubt about it, Jason Becker's version owns Yngwie's so many times that it isn't even funny. Look at the tapes before you talk.

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg Worst comment ever, just look the FREAKIN AMPS.

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg of course his version is better, he wrote the solo, he knows how it should sound and feel, I'd like to see malmsteen try playing a song of Beckers first solo album, it'd sound like guitar center on the weekends ( fucking annoying )

  • @TerrorizerGrindspeed HEY GUYS!!! Let's compare the composer of the song, with a multithousand dollar set up, to a literal high school talent show!!!

    In fact; if that IS the case.

    Becker kicks ass even...more.

  • @DillonNicholsonTV Pretty much man

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg

    of course there's no comparision Yngwie can't play Becker songs.

    Jason Becker Rulez!

  • @baack2roots Yngwie is the best !! No one can't be compared with Malmsteen !!! Malmsteen taught everyone how to shred (Becker included) !!! Therefore, all the rest guitar players just dream to be as good as Yngwie !!!

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg Ritchie blackmore? Uli Jon Roth?

  • @GuilleBlitzkrieg

    nobody outplays yngwie on his own song, but jason becker was by far more technically advanced (i say was because he has als now), and he is without a doubt the better composer. i would love to see yngwe try to make something like serrana or end of the beginning.

  • Yngwie dominates everyone, Jason Becker included. Jason Becker is an amazing virtuoso, I love him as well. But Yngwie is the God of all guitarists and human beings.

  • Becker wins !

    Malmsteen is veeeery good, I was in his show here in Brazil, he is awesome ! and a great sing too.

    , but I bet he cant play 'perpetual burn' or 'altitudes' like Jason. rs.

    cheers.

  • Yngwie is better at the song, but Jason is almost better in every way than Yngwie

  • Yngwie j. Malmsteen won the all compehrend ın this world....

  • becker

  • YNGWIE AND JASON ARE GODS!!!

  • first 2 seconds jason brcker already won

  • @awesomolopolis64 lol agree 

  • Yngwie wrote Black Star when he was only 14 in 1977 when he was in his Band called Power House. There use to be a Demo Version on the Tube but it's been removed. Yngwie is and will Always be The King

  • Long live the KING, Malmsteen! :D

  • becker y malmsteen, no se comparan ... becker es fan de malmsteen y se inspiro en malmsteen para su estilo de compocicion y el neoclasico, y por todo lo q ha sido becker y lo q es ahora, para mi es el dios de la guitarra, y se encuentra mas alto q el mismo hendrix, y malmsteen junto con becker, asi q estos dos gigantes no estan para q se comparen !!

  • @MerolMasterOfVodka Totalmente de acuerdo .... ... Supogno que es solo tratar de tomar en cuenta un poco ... los logros de cada uno y darse cuenta ..

  • jeje no es que sea fan jejej es influencia que es diferente aunque la mayor que tiene jason becker es el buen beck ¡¡¡ no se comparan ni en 100 de años becker es mejor ¡¡ 

  • @MerolMasterOfVodka ya callate

  • ¡¡¡¡¡ Salve Jason Becker a los 18 años años te pasate por la verga al buen yngwie jajajaj black star es como si jason tocara el circulo de sol ¡¡¡¡ arpeggiosssssssssssssssssssss¡­¡ progresiones de 6 cuerdas ¡ composiciones epicas SALVE JASON BECKERRRRRRRRRR¡¡¡

  • @isengarddeath1234 pero yngwie empezo a componer black star a los 17 por hay se la llevan

  • @RocKnBlooD si hermano ¡¡¡ pero ve date cuenta de una cosa ¡¡¡ no puedes comparar el grado de virtuosismo ¡¡ de uno de otr los 2 son excelentes ¡¡ per Becker es un dios ¡¡ cualquiera que tenga la idea de como tocar guitarra ¡¡¡ te dira que en tecnica y composicion es mejor becker ¡¡ pero ve amigo ¡¡la cosa esta asi ¡¡¡ los dos ¡¡¡ me rompen las bolas ¡¡ salve JASON BECKER ¡¡ Y ve el comentario de abajo de la pregresiones de arpeggios yngwie jamas lo ha hexxo ni lo hara ¡¡ jejejeje

  • This is a no-brainer really. In one corner is the original, playing to an 18000 capacity crowd during a series of 19 concerts in Moscow and Leningrad. In the other corner you have the imitator playing for his high school talent show. (although imo this isn't Yngwie's best version of Black Star. There's a video on youtube from his recent concert in St. Petersburg of Black Star...it's awesome!)

  • @yngwieisking hahaha idiot can not compare either in technical or speed as a God jason good as yngwie someone simply because Jason progressions performed 6-string arpeggios around 250 bmp and yngwie only makes 3 jajajaj yngwie created a musical style that was neoclassic metal instead jason is a legend that a deity with only 18 was the best is just the guitar god save jason becker

  • @yngwieisking i know that yngwie is playing in front of thousands of people but think of it jason was still in high probably 16 or 17 years old
