Bireli Lagrene shreds!

[bobgure]

How can one play like this after being reared on rest stroke right hand?

Wow.

[rallyivan1234]

Jaco Pastorius?

[SorcererOnDope]

crap



[nylonsteel]

Berelis one of my fave guitarists but I dont agree that hes " better" than Yngwie..totally 2 different musicians and both are superb...Birellis masterful of gypsyswing,straighahead jazz,Fusion ,Upright,violin etc..but Yngwie just owns the neoclassical metal genre.

[acdcfreak4life]

lmfao so funny seeing a gypsy playing metal. it must be SO easy for him. the easy of an electric compared to steel string acoustic + its electric..anything is easy and sounds good lol

[nevertoofast2]

The thing that makes this so sick, is that this was probably so easy for Bireli to play like this .I'm sure he didn't need to practice this style very much to play it as well or better than anyone. Yet 99%of the metal shredders could practice for years and not even be able to walk on the same stage as him when he's doing bebop or gypsy jazz

[kapitanswing]

@nevertoofast2

You've nailed it.

[GuitarThinker]

@nevertoofast2 - Couldn't agree more. Very well put.

[Kuklush]

He definetely had to practice lol just because he shreds gypzy jazz doesn't mean that he could fake metal shredding. Its very different, the technique is completely different

[acdcfreak4life]

@Kuklush dont think so. if u listen carefully its still gypsy just distorted

[bcolombom]

Man, for me its just great. And I think lots of metal players don't play like him.

[blocklit]

This guitar genius started playing at 4. At 8 years old he was already performing. He is fantastic on the acoustic. So switching to electric is just a piece of cake.  Always always good to see fantastic players. They always inspire you.

[julienthomas14]

Yngwie, you can cry :)

[riskotibor80]

Gypsy Malmsteen :D

[yootesa1515]

underrated. thank god i found him.

[hldemi]

1:20-1:30 WTF man . Thats just the sickiest not lame sweep runs I ever seen

[kapitanswing]

It's just a bit of fun at the end of the concert. I don't think it's meant as a massive musical statement. Except maybe: "Metal? What's the big deal?" ;-D lol!

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

This is kind of boring. I really prefer his jazz side. Seems that he is so talented that gets bored and needs to show his skills. It's like a kid jamming in his room with a rythm sequencer.

[MarkusFunk]

@JusticieroDeLaMuerte Agreed.

[ginologie]

the best...

[iJigglypuff]

nobody back then played those licks...true metal innovator...and everything else as well lol

[texas9085]

sounds a lot like Tony McAlpine,Jason Becker,Vinny Moore

[TenTonHorse]

Look at the dude in the white towards the mid left at the beginning - the resident headbanger!!

[awfulguitarplucker]

bireli malmsteen!

[kalud666]

at 1.17 minute he is so fast... oO  excellent !!!!

[sluxguitar]

Nice tune, I like it :)

[dorlandosonic]

@ 0.38 , he's starting the solo by playing a nice melody that could be a theme in itself. I wish it would return later as well...

[bonhomme4566]

more bireli's shred please! its great as him!

[dorlandosonic]

Is there more of this 'metal/rock' side of Bireli ? I admit I kinda like it :)

[artisan3]

un - fucking - believable!!!!

[filmcrew1551]

kinda funny

[upT3mpo]

This is class! I had no idea Bireli was a metal head! Ha!

[prinznevsky]

it's so weird to think of him as the same kid who played gypsy jazz...musta been a phase in the '80's

[prestonparish]

re: ff44ed "young and crazy too" -- haha!

Monster chops in every genre.

[kapitanswing]

The bass player is Jürgen Attig.

[goodsi]

@kapitanswing fantastic guy, lives in Hamburg! he is playing woth Bireli again!!

[cantstanga]

if that isn't jaco he must be an impersonator because he's playing the same bass. also checkout jaco's son felix he's awesome

[doeremifa]

Thanks for the classic video! Is that jaco pastorious on bass? Thanks again man.

[katsujinken00]

Bireli est un grand fan de jimi hendrix a la base il aurai voulu plus ce spécialiser dans le rock que dans le jazz !

Mais tel est son destin

[fr44ed]

Is that reall birel? I guess he was young and crazy once too.

[katsujinken00]

Yes is that the real one !

[sprechstimme]

Pretty damn impressive.

[antzen7]

poly gelio

[ricakeboss]

c juste une ptite impro comme ca ou cette chanson a un nom?

[allexi]

Bireli nous montre ici qu'il aime tout les styles et qu'il n'est pas seulement Jazz. Bravo! quel maitre y m'a scotché...

[totosmeels]

never knew he liked metal!

[viniguitarjazz]

BIRELI  METAL ! *****STARS

[SteefStevens]

Why didnt they put this version out on the album hahaha ,instead of the detuning E string song on the album with one of the nicest sounding impressions Version ever...... He probably scared the Hell out of all the rockdudes back then..... What a great Hero he is....

[sandroroj]

yeah bireli

you rock

[wakanabeotai]

bireli did a great joke

very funny stuff

he is jazz guitarist,this is a joke

[sintygypsy]

back then he was more into fusion, and i guess dabbled in metal. He has me saying malmsteen who? Ugh, my hero

[wakanabeotai]

agree but any way it can be seen very easy that this music for him is like popcorn.i also was saying malmmsteen who?BIRELI LAGRENE is a JAZZMAN

[sintygypsy]

That is very much how I usually put things when talking about Bireli. Me and my dad usually sit here scratching our heads. It really isnt fair to compare Bireli to any other guitar players or muscians because he is an alien from some other dimension. Everyone else is from earth, he isnt :P

[wakanabeotai]

he is fantastic but his level is possible to get .with a lot of work .of course he is very talented ,he is one of the best jazz guitar.

but once again any one could deny.i see in bireli a high level guitarist and when other musicians who play other instruments watch him how he can play jazz say wow.because he at the same high level like them.this is my opinion because every one think guitar is a easy instrument and no guitarist can play jazz

[wakanabeotai]

kapitanswing,thanks for postig this videos with bireli ,please post more+

[entengasse]

Bireli Lagrene ist ein produkt des legendären Jazzpoint Records Labels.

Django Reinhardt ist der einzige Europäer, der zu der sonst ausnahmslos amerikanisch beeinflußten Jazzgeschichte einen stilbildenden Beitrag geleistet hat.

LAGRENE: „Wenn ich nur daran denke, wie und wo ich groß geworden bin. Bei uns zu Hause gab es kein fließendes Wasser und keinen Strom. Und jetzt stehe ich vor dem größten Erfolg meines Lebens. Ich habe die Gertie und Jan kennengelernt. (Bireli 1990)

[Hucho]

haha this really bizar!

[elterrriblo]

Thanks for your vids man!!! I've had a lot of pleasure watchin' all of these!

[ion507]

hilarious

[lauriemonk]

brilliant!

[zoroastrenietzsche]

Vive la 200e ... Et quelle cerise sur le gâteau !

[djangadjo]

Alors ça, c'est de la rareté! Je connaissais ce morceau qui figure tout à la fin de Acoustic Moments mais je pensais que c'était juste un délire en studio. Ben non, c'est aussi un délire sur scène. Et comme d'habitude, c'est exécuté tout à fait dans l'esprit... Biréli est un véritable caméléon! :)

[taohuan]

this is definitely cool fusion

[eliep37]

TROP funnn !

[88naka]

Heavy Metal Bireli ! Hahaha

[tomdeforbach]

You All Video Is So Beautiful Thanks Man

[Xiphosss]

Haha, Bireli on Metal. Cool...this man plays all music styles !!! Thanks !

[sintygypsy]

there really isnt much he cant play, sickening in the best of ways.
