BARRIOS -- LA CATEDRAL, ALLEGRO SOLEMNE - Agustin Pio Barrios (1885-1944) Paraguayan composer and guitarist Agustin Barrios was famed for his phenomenal performances, both live and on early gramophone recordings. Many of his works, including this, my favorite one, are reserved for guitar virtuosos only...

About Ted's IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASTERS: "To me, the fantastic music of the classical masters is in a totally different realm - there simply is no other music to compare it to. I believe it was a time in history that will never be repeated - kind of like when dinosaurs roamed the earth. In drumming to these timeless works as with any music, I always strive to treat the drums as a musical instrument - not just a noisy time keeper. I feel the music and drumming on MASTERS is not static -- it's alive... and I'm very excited to share it with you. These are some of my favorite composers with some of their most brilliant works."

As drummer, songwriter and cofounder of Tourniquet since its inception in 1990, Ted's aggressive, musical, and often unorthodox approach to the drums has been recognized by thousands. The readers of HM Magazine voted him "Favorite Drummer" for 10 years in a row. Ted has twice been featured in Modern Drummer Magazine and countless drummers now list him as one of their drumming influences.

@Antheror It's alright if you don't like the piece, but 'ruined'? Now you can never listen to the original ever again because ole Ted destroyed it? I like it. Ted put an interesting dynamic in it that was absolutely composed in beauty as far as I'm concerned. So, since was pointed out you have no idea what death metal is in the first place, you are always entitled to your opinion, but it is isn't informed, and I have a different one :)

@jkthewonderguy i totally agree, if this can destroy the original or ruin it - then the original was a piece of fragile glass, and its not, the original will live forever...Its merely and interpretation "in the SHADOW of the MASTERS"!

Sorry...this is awful!...A real disgrace for great guitar composer and virtuoso Agustin Barrios "Mangore". Not only the idea is totally inappropriate and doesn't work, but he destroys the piece...and plays out of sync too many a bump and kick!...

Wwwwwoooooooowwwww!!!!!

@Antheror okay. You can feel like that. Don't hafta be critical of it of you don't like it. It didn't ruin anything, it didn't destroy the original art. An old band we were in was working on a metal version of tocatta and fugue in D minor. It was an interpretation of the song, inspired by the original. Not meant to replace it, nor revamp it, only to express ourselves differently on the same theme. It has been done for hundreds of years by different artists with different thematic interps

@Nehilor

men.. this is awesome.. no one plays drum like ted... he's so awesome

[jkthewonderguy]

@Antheror You can feel that way if you want. I don't. if you feel art needs to be a specific way because you want, you can. I don't. You don't hafta like this. I do. If you don't listen to it, then don't. I will. I believe your opinion is narrow, and your theatrics of 'ruined' is melodramatic pap. You don't I've stated my opinion, and you have yours. I am now closing the matter from my side.
