Skwisgaar is a wizard, characterized by ceaseless study and discipline and mastery. Toki is a sorcerer, performing feats with intuition and innate, unknowable predilection. How is Skwissgar so good? It's wizardry. And how can Toki keep up at all? That's sorcery.

@@gabrielbjornursidae Lets get this straight, any guitarist can play like toki or skisgaar because it's nothing but brendan small, brendan small is talented, but his art tells us he knows he can tap into his inner toki, and his inner skwisgar thus is battling against himself from being an "idiot savant", and a hard worker, who knows there's much better guitarists out there. Brendan can't improvise, and that is a ridiculous skill unto itself, if brendan went against guthrie govan in a "guitar solo duel" brendan would be lost without hearing the chord progressions ad nauseum, while guthrie govan can probably improvise any western musical chord progression with no problem. and probably play his songs by just hearing them. But i doubt brendan small could play "wonderful slippery thing" or "Waves" without long practice. There's classical guitarists who can hear your music, transcribe it, and play a better melody with one hearing. Again this sounds stupid to argue about, because they aren't the best guitarists only in this fictional world of art. And in real life, being the best guitarist sometimes means that you aren't even known by anyone, and sometimes being the better businessman means getting your name out there and people liking your work enough that you move the genre forward, whatever genre it might be. Thus people calling u the next hendrix, or van halen just because you moved the genre forward, every decade has its greatest guitarists and in the mainstream its starting to mean less and less.

The rest of the bands "Holy shit" moment when toki starts to shred. Legendary

Skwisgaar is like a virtuoso with technical skill attained from tons of practice. Toki is like the kind of lazy, but extremely talented guitar player that doesn't practice, but has a natural flow whenever he picks one up. This duel is like a good representation of Hard Work vs. Natural talent.

@coletrain583

9 ай бұрын

That’s a good representation.

I don't think I'd noticed the storytelling through music theory that's going on here before now. The battle starts with a fairly standard opening gambit (a couple of pentatonic licks with some showy sweeping for skwissgar) which toki matches. Skwissgar then tests his opponent with some short licks, Toki responds in kind and begins harmonising with Skwissgar, showing his prowess and compatibilty. Skwissgar becomes more aggressive, using using some fast atonal picking and firing some complex sweeps at Toki; again countered blow for blow which somehow turns them baroque. By this stage they have begun to work together and transcend into the sky accompanied by perfectly synchronised (and relatively complex) harmonised lead lines to showcase their instinctive understanding of each others playing. I fucking love this show.

I could've sworn I saw them both smiling at 2:15 when they're flying up together when I first saw this when it came out. It was my favorite detail

I never realized it but the way Skwisgaar starts the duel, he was ready to obliterate Toki way way worse than all the previous guitarists lol.

Doomstar Requiem is literally the most satisfying and appropriate presentation of the outcome this show built to and was avaliable to it at the time

Probably the most epic and most excellent thing you will ever hear and see in your whole life

Currently learning this and it's the single hardest piece I've ever done, primarily Skwisgaar's half. Nuts. Love the show and listen to the music to this day. My fingers hurt now. 🤘🤘🤘

Look at Toki's shadow at the very beginning when he enters. :D

"All rights...You seems so nice it's a shame it must go downs this way..." This is Skwisgar literally informing Toki he was about to fulfill the man's wish and murder him with the power of his guitar. Nothing personal, it's just what happens when mortals come to the attention of a rock god. :D

guitars likes whats is there more music.

The part after the classical bit, where they play in the clouds, is just amazing. The harmonies make my ears weep

Skwisgar Skwigelf is taller than a tree. But Toki Wartooth is definitely not a bumblebee.

his voice is deeper as a younger adult then when he's older just keep that in mind

His voice starts to change after the episode where their parents are brought in. Because Toki begins to mentally regress at that point, and his voice changes to match.

I enjoy the symbolism here. Toki is gifted with innate talent, therefor he "flies" through his playing because the passion drives him. Skwisgaar has so much experience that he could "run forever" and "carry the band" with his exceptional skills he's earned through years of diligent practice.

That pretty much sums up power metal

I think it's supposed to be a falcon because of their guitar naming conventions. Skwisgaar has the Snow Horse Explorer here (later he has the Thunder Horse Explorer) and Toki's white flying V Guitar that he had in one episode is called Snow Falcon.

Toki is just adorable.

I'm kinda sad that I feel there will never be a segment like this again. The dynamics of the two, the symbolism, every movement synchronized, the fucking pinkies at 1:56. Absolute masterclass.

I absolutely love how at his intro he could've just said "anyway" and continue to rhyme but they went with "Anyhow"

Soooo many things I have to go back and watch now. GG Josh.

This is the greatest battle ever

A testament to skill vs talent, but a very well fought duel.

still gives me goosebumps :D

I remember when I was a kid, I used to watch almost every cartoon and anime the tv can offer, bugs bunny, martin mystery, family guy, everything. One day I was watching tv but I forgot what show I was watching, this show aired next. I had no idea it was a metal show that's not intended for children. My family didn't mind at all. This episode was the one that played when I first watched it. I got so into the music and I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it was! I believe this part in particular got me into metal 🤘🔥

Everyone gangster until the guitars start arguing with eachother

I love that back and forth at 2:14, get my blood pumping

Gotta love how Toki being Norweigian has a Power Metal singing voice.

2:23 oh man, sends chills down my spine everytime.

I remember when I first heard this back when doom star requiem first aired; the hair on my arms stood straight up. Still get that feeling, especially at 2:15

I love how when Swissgar turns to a Centaur he looks back and realizes Toki (as a man/falcon) is catching up to him. Swissgar never had to play so hard against someone before.

2:15 goes insanely hard

It's so badass my eyes are still flaming

2023! still listening this as an ultimate fuel!

I'm a simple man I see a man riding a giant eagle with a lightning guitar I click

40 years of Metal fandom, and this is my favorite piece ever...I can't put my finger on it, but it moves me every time...

This is what me and my friends thought we looked like playing guitar hero together.

When it cuts from a big laser battle to a gentle Victorian era scene gets me every time. lol

I like to imagine how this played out in IRL since neither of their guitars are plugged in. Just string pings
