[xxMorrissey]

I think it's very interesting what you're doing; covering metal peices on a classical intrument. Is it intentional to show metal's inherent classical roots and virtuoso level of composition / playing?

Anyways, I have the same Windir shirt. :-B

[theOfactor39]

well, just because something can be played on a violin doesn't necessarily mean it has 'classical roots', though for some of these songs it may be the case. For the most part I do these covers because it's the only instrument I can play well...

[xxMorrissey]

Ah, that's not what I meant... Maybe I phrased that wrong. I didn't mean to imply that just because something can be transposed or arranged for a classical instrument that it is classically influenced.

In any case, the parallel I was thinking of was mainly that both say, Necrophagist and Antonio Vivaldi pieces require a certain amount of technical skill to play, and are very "showy" so to speak.

[Pedophilesex]

Luc Lemay has worked with classical music, the influence can be heard in several songs.

[guy12343456]

Still sounds great. Hell, I'd probably buy a record of this stuff.

[Thrasher502]

"metal's inherent classical roots?" Malmsteen has classical roots. Jason Becker had classical roots. Gorguts is fucking awesome, but they have nothing to do with classical music. And they next time you compare Vivaldi to Necrophagist... you shall be kicked in the testes by a large farm animal

[GuitarG2]

In fact, Gorguts is partially influenced by noise composers and serialist music, both of which are fields of classical music. Classical music does go beyond the harmonic minor ramblings shown off by Malmsteen. And I'm sure Necrophagist would be honoured to be compared to Vivaldi.

Chill out a bit, dude. It's all music, and ONLY music. ;)

[neuraxianfusion]

I agree with you fully, although I often feel that Necrophagist merely dresses up simplistic concepts in technique; making them similar to Britney Spears in the manner that she dresses up simplistic concepts in sex appeal.

[GuitarG2]

Does a concept have to be complicated to be good though? If Necrophagist come up with good songs, does it matter what the theory behind it is? Scream Bloody Gore isn't exactly rocket science, but it's considered a genre landmark. I'm a Necrophagist fan, you can probably tell. :P

[neuraxianfusion]

That depends on whether art is of a spiritual or physical importance to you. If aesthetics overcome structure and content than sure, songs that are good in your perception outweigh anything else. However, if more than a merely good song is desired, such as the absolute transcendence of Beethoven's 9th, than you need to look a little farther than tempo, instrumentation, and technique. In the end it is all your choice.

[tomalophicon]

You're a dud.

[neuraxianfusion]

Malmsteen and Jason Becker resemble Van Halen at a much faster tempo, if at best. High-speed arpeggios and and scales are in fact not a throwback to Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romanticist music but instead are merely the same love of showmanship that permeates all modern entertainment forms. Groups like Gorguts display inspiration from traditional art in their structure, which is the proper way of doing so as opposed to the aesthetic method of solo guitarists.

[VapidButchery]

@neuraxianfusion You hit the nail on the head man! STRUCTURE!!!! Good songwriting beats showing how technical you can be all day! Write what sounds good and makes sense in some way! I cannot tell you how sick I am of all the "sweep pickers" I am hearing in metal now... Ooooh an arpeggio!!!! I would rather hear a Gorguts solo anyday... We have a million TECHNICALLY good guitarists now who cannot write an original catchy riff to save their damn life!

[scottydscottd]

@xxMorrissey all western music has classical roots.... even pop....

[TrashMetal25]

@scottydscottd no, pop and rap actually have no classical roots, it has roots that lie in the most primitive stages of mankind, and the reason its so popular is because it stimulates the ancient instinct first discovered by the walking man of 4/4 time, simple beat, catchy to the ear and the instinct, but dont be fooled, this is very primitive, true music as we see here, as well as elsewhere regarding classical roots and influences, that, is advanced, and stimulates and promotes musical growth,

[scottydscottd]

@TrashMetal25 ALL western music has roots in classical. the I IV V I progression you hear in almost ALL music is classical in origin. The chords in "I will survive" are just a circle of fifths progression. You're talking a to a classical musician of 14 years :P. I will respect a lot of things, but I don't respect someone trying to sound pseudo-intellectual about a subject i have a lot of knowledge about. however - you like gorguts, so do i, so you're forgiven by default

[TrashMetal25]

@scottydscottd then explain to me how the simulated beat of 4/4 time in rap and pop have anything to do whatsoever with the pride and magnitude of classical music,

because it simply contains more then one note? ( in some cases, only one note ) i know what you are saying, and i do trust your judgment, but i do not hear a tie whatsoever between a music so near perfect, vs that of something which was once played on a slab of wood 40 000 years ago, only to be popularized and overkilled,

[TrashMetal25]

@scottydscottd and just to be clear i am referring to the more recent years of music, ( 1990 - present ) most of which rap and pop are becoming more and more primitive and manufactured, to the point where musicians do not even create it anymore, that is just slander, and a strike to the face of music like that of classical, it disgusts me to see an art so degraded as to sound as its first footprint on earth, only now simulated by machines

[Deathbass89]

You are my hero.
