    perfect combination imo. Chuck sounded like Bach especially as he later went on using less caveman riffs and got closer to a more neoclassical sound.
    Out of all the metal guitarists I can think of off the top of my head chuck sounds the most like Bach due to his use of the harmonic minor scale, both of them have a very dark, theatrical feeling

      ​@useD raW no they don't. a solo, almost by definition, involves a homophonic, not contrapuntal texture.
      there _is_ counterpoint and development in metal, a good deal more than in most other forms of popular music, but people shouldn't get carried away about the extent of the technical polish or influence from classical in metal.

    The best part of spirit crusher is the chunky chorus. These guys in Russia did a version with a full symphony orchestra, and that part genuinely made me shed a tear. Would be cool to hear a Bach version of it. Total goosebumps, I'm sure.

  • @davidrasberry7261
    @davidrasberry7261 3 роки тому +8

    @Shred it is sad that Chuck died as it has been said. I have to say that Richard Christy's drum parts were perfect for Spirit Crusher. Richard had the honor of recording drums for Control Denied's The Fragile Art Of Existence album. Richard definitely made Chuck's last album legendary. I just hate that not only did Chuck die, but now Sean Reinert died. Two legends were taken too early. I just know that Sean Reinert paved the way for many metal drummers. Chuck definitely picked the perfect drummer in Gene the "Atomic Clock" Hoglan as well. I am just glad that Gene has had the time to be able to tell stories about when Chuck asked him to record drums for Death. I just think that Richard Christy doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I think it has to do with the fact that 2 monster drummers were in Death before Richard joined. The opening drum intro to the Sound Of Perseverance album is definitely iconic. The intro makes me think of a combination of Judas Priest's Painkiller as well as Slayer's Killing Fields. Richard is in the annals of some of the greatest metal drummers of all time. I just think that the majority of average listeners don't truly understand the importance of a good drummer. The genius that Chuck Shuldiner possessed was next level. When he picked musicians he only picked the best of the best. Also how can you go wrong with bass players when you have Steve Digorgio on Death's legendary roster. Anyways I just thought I would mention those thoughts. I love your videos they are so funny. You pick the right clips for the right moments in the video.

    Really cool vid. Fun fact, when Bach's organ playing abilities were beginning to be noticed, someone pitted him up against France's seemingly unbeatable organ master. The French champion withdrew from the competition after hearing Bach's warm-up (i.e., shredding). Another fun fact, Bach's famous 6 cello suites are believed to be 300 years old as of this year. Back in his time, no one would have dreamed that ANY music would be performed for 300 years with no end in sight.
