dmccombe7 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Someone just sent me this and i thought it was pretty good. Yngwie Mamsteen Anyone got any strong opinions whether this works or not. Dave http://youtu.be/TbHc5i4O2tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not really my bag, and he's got a massively overinflated ego. If you want classical mixed with rock you might want to check out Ozzy's first two solo albumns (Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madma)n - Randy was classically trained and he integrates classical lines into proper rock.

dmccombe7 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 To be fair i don't usually go for this kind of thing but on occasion it sounds good. I had no idea who the guitarist was when i first saw it on Facebook. Wasn't highlighted. The one i attached had his name on it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 There arnt many guitarists who can make a guitar gel with an orchestra but malmsteen is one of them. Another of my favourite unorthadox guitar backings is brian setzers big band ..

Mykesbass Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Jon Lord made a pretty decent job of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm a fan of most Deep Purple eras but just didn't enjoy that orchestral drivel. Maybe its just the VID quality but not for me. As for the Iron Maiden clip .............not exactly the same comparison and i sense some tongue in cheek with that one New album aint bad tho.

Barking Spiders Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 No, to my ears the mix of metal - or any rock for that matter - and classical is a total abomination and praps a cynical ploy by those metallers trying to seek approval from the CM community. I enjoy a good old bit of unpretentious thrash and groove metal but symphonic metal is too much too swallow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 To answer the original question, technically, it's impressive. Musically, it's empty. Imho, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of 'metal' is also, perhaps, technically impressive but bereft of substance, as is a fair amount of 'classical' music, or 'jazz', or 'pop' or ...

dmccombe7 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Think there are some parts of it that seem to fit reasonably well and altho i quite liked the clip i wouldn't go out and buy it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
