awesome, just try to play it on piano, but it is so hard haha, anyway as a guitar player I can aswell imagine how hard it is to play this on guitar, since this was not meant to be played on a guitar, but you just did justice! btw. Backingtrack would be awesome and maybe tabs? or how did you learn this?

@@pawelm1991 Playing this piece on a different instrument with an accompaniment typical of different genre does not automatically invalidate the prowess of either the composer or the player; to suggest otherwise betrays YOUR ineptitude and sad attempt at appearing to be an intellectual. Those who actually know anything about music would not be so defensively puritanical about about an arbitrary shift in tone/style. Do you lose your shit because music is transposed into a different key and suddenly becomes trash in your eyes, as well?

Classical pianist for 40 years here, piece has been in my repertoire for a long time. What you've done there is pure art and mastery - and a confirmation of what I used to tell my students (wish your video was available back then) that metal, just like jazz and rock, is a state of mind which you can find in different styles and cultures around the world. Bravo, Sir!

@@petrostroupakis2694 Nobody asked for yours either, πατριώτη! ;-) Επίσης, αν δεν κατανοείς ότι η δομή, η ροή, η δυναμική του κομματιού αυτού του Μπετόβεν (και όχι μόνο αυτού) είναι εγγενώς "metal" (προφανώς με την ευρεία και όχι με τη στενή έννοια) έχεις μια μάλλον επιδερμική σχέση είτε με το metal είτε με την κλασική (ενδεχομένως και με τα δύο). Θα έπρεπε αν μη τι άλλο να σου κάνει εντύπωση ότι μεγάλη μερίδα metal και ροκ μουσικών όχι μόνο έχουν σπουδές κλασικής μουσικής αλλά έχουν και ως πρότυπα ή είδωλά τους συνθέτες της κλασικής και του μπαρόκ. Επίσης, de facto προκύπτει ότι το metal είναι το μόνο ίσως είδος σύγχρονης μουσικής που προσφέρεται περισσότερο για διασκευές όχι μόνο κλασικής, αλλά και μπαρόκ και αναγεννησιακής μουσικής (όπως επίσης και folk, αλλά αυτό είναι άλλο μεγάλο κεφάλαιο) λόγω μιας πολυεπίπεδης όσο και αδιόρατης σε πρώτη ανάγνωση "συνάφειας". Και αυτό είναι κάτι που δεν είναι μόνο υπόθεση εμπειρικής παρατήρησης ή απλής αίσθησης, αλλά έχει τεκμηριωθεί από μουσικολόγους και άλλους επιστήμονες (π.χ. Adrian North και Viren Swami, ο οποίος μάλιστα επεσήμανε ότι οι θιασώτες κλασικής και metal μοιράζονται κοινό ψυχολογικό προφίλ), διευθυντές ορχήστρας (π.χ. Eric Milnes, Seiji Ozawa) και καλλιτέχνες του κλασικού ρεπερτορίου (Enrique Solinis, Brandon Acker, Jean Rondeau μεταξύ πολλών άλλων). Φυσικά, δεν είναι *κάθε* απόπειρα μεταφοράς ή διασκευής επιτυχημένη (μάλλον το αντίθετο), αλλά αυτό είναι ζήτημα υποκειμενικής πρόσληψης, ατομικών δεξιοτήτων, στιλιστικής/αισθητικής προσέγγισης κ.ο.κ.

Dude....you honestly just win in life. You've got yourself a new supporter \m/

Now that is something one would probably hear once in a lifetime.

Classical and metalhead here. This cover is just perfect, you nailed it brilliantly, kudos!

Holy shit, this is one of the best classical metal arrangements I've seen in my life. And I'm a big neoclassical metal fan, and I've searched the hell out of KZread for classical music metal rearrangements. Wow, that was absolutely amazing. Thank you for this!

Great work, I can't stop revisiting this cover every now and then

dude , you made my day. i cant even think that was something possible to play on such an instrument. people who disliked this video need to see a doctor seriously. keep going man, god bless you

So happy to see that it is not only classical music lovers who can appreciate Beethoven's greatness! This is great! A feat! "Ouf..." at the end, is right!!

Just listening to this on piano and thought "...I can't be the only one who thinks this would be awesome as a metal song." Sure enough. Thanks, great job!

SHEESH, I DIDNT EXPECT ITTO SOUND THIS GOOD

Pianist here who plays this...Nice job Bro! Nailed it.

Excellent arrangement of a timeless masterpiece...perfectly executed!!! So now, the last movements of the Pathetique and Moonlight Sonatas please!!! But seriously, I'm SO impressed...and as for Beethoven, he was all that ever was, is and will be...period

This is GOAT! Its like listening to two of my favourite conposers (Children of Bodom and Beethoven) at the same time!

I find myself drawn again and again to this amazing rendition every once and a while for my 'metallized' Beethoven fix and kick! Once again, congratulations!

This is so funtastic! Ludwig would have loved it. He was the rock star of his time.

It is said that Beethoven anticipated everything, so including metal I see hahaha... Beethoven is my all time favorite composer and I really like this version!!! The Presto at 7:17 is very very good! Bravo!

Beethoven rules music! No one is more mighty than him.

I expected to be bad but this is actually impressive af and cool

That break at 7:17 absoluty sick

Didn't think this amazing music would be possible on a guitar. Fantastic. You are a genius. It also shows how extraordinary Beethoven was compared to so many of todays's musicians.

This is an amazing rendition, with so much gusto! Not just the lead... the arrangement is also not just there for the hell of it but is really tasteful. NICE!!

Shows you that Beethoven rocked!!! And still does... Bravo

Masterfully transcribed, interpreted and performed. Absolutely world class. Congrats.

what an insane interpretation. I love this Beethoven piece on piano, you take it to another level!!!

Beethoven would have been proud by your impeccable rendition, delivered with precision, might, and passion: a true "apassionata"! Congratulations for one of the best covers of classical music on YT! \m/

how beautiful is this music...

This works so incredibly well - masterfully done

What I've always wanted to hear in metal form is the first movement to the Pathetique sonata. Even the quiet, major parts are harmonically complex, which is what I associate with metal.

OMG,Love Beethovens Appassionata and definitely love it in this arrangemment!!!!Fantastic!!!

I have listened to this at least 500 times.

i always thinking that this piece would be a sounding good on electric guitar, im not wrong, its great!

This is great. I play this on piano and often imagine it being played like this. You capture the wild spirit of Beethoven...roll over!! Fantastic :)

this deserves wayyy more attention

Beautiful, excellence, this is a masterclass in melody + tech death in and of itself.

That was fire. I'm speechless. Thank you for this.

It looks like that Beethoven had adjusted this piece from guitar to piano :) Really liked it congrats!!!

Recently heard this piece and got absolutely in love with. You've truly done it justice! Amazing interpretation

Bravo!!!! Absolutely stellar my friend! I would travel anywhere in the world to hear this performed live!

Wow, you should be famous! great technique and talent! Damn !

I NEVER listen to metal and rock.....but every note in this video was on point. 👏👏👏

This should have at least a million views - I'll get there before long!. Maybe the first movement next?

Bravissimoo !!! That's impressive and it's not just Beethoven's merit !! Love it
