So damn good! Reminds me some of the coolest allusions, like Prokofiev's Dance of Kingts at the end of Only Ash Remains by Necrophagist. I would absolutely love to hear album of modern death metal rethinkings of classical music... this is almoust to good to be true.

Turn One

I guess I was just confused by the amount of strings on it. Everyone seems to have a Chapman these days, on Youtube. It's weird.

Love this guitar. But it's not the signature. I still haven't gotten to play a prototype yet

Turn One

I assume this is the new signature, then. It's quite pretty.

Rob Scallon

That was a good one!

Sam Shredits

Very nice transition to metal. Wondering what Bach woud think. Anyways, I like the sound... I guess it's the HumBACHers...

Rob Scallon

Thanks! This, as well as nearly all of my stuff nowadays (especially the metal stuff) is programmed. Metal wise, I hire Nick Pierce of Unearth to program them and he does an incredible job. Works closely with Fluff too. Way back I'd always have real drums that I played. But nowadays I live in an apartment in the city. So unfortunately it's just not feasible for a lot of reasons. And even if I did, for these types of tunes I'd rather hire a real professional metal drummer if I am able to.

Rob Scallon

Clearly

Hector Bonte

Really nice ! I have a question for you: are the drums real or do you use a software ? And if so, which one?

Daniel Rushik

Bach was clearly metal as hell.

Rob Scallon

Thanks!

Purple Rocket

very, VERY well done

Rob Scallon

lols The idea. But soon became clear that the wig was a must.

Preston Fraser

Which came first, the idea or the wig?

Aitor

Hahahahahah thats true :p or were is the orchestra hiding? :p and probably bach would be really fine with this because he just wrote majority of his music as a courtcomposer somewhat to be seen as ghostwriters and producers nowadays they create what people like nowadays as bach did in his days :)

Rob Scallon

haha thanks! It would be amazing to somehow know what he would think of this I guess the main thing he'd ask is "What magic did you use to put yourself into this piece of glass?"

Rob Scallon

Couldn't do this video without the wig haha

Aitor

As a classical guitarist i should hate you now for unpurifying bach haha :p but i dont its great he would have loved it :p #classicalmusiccanbefun thanks for making this it will let people get to know music they wouldnt have known elseways. hahah the resemblance with you and bach is unreal :p
