    My favorite thing about Brendon is that he’s the least looking metal guy ever. He just looks like a Dad from the Midwest but he just slays.

    • @robbader3
      @robbader3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Galactatron is fucking epic. Small once said that Skwisgar made him become a better guitarist (which is an Easter egg in the Klok Opera, where Skwisgar says nobody ever made him play as well as Toki did in his audition). He said the first season, he recycled a bunch of Gilbert and Malmsteen licks, but that he exhausted them all on that first album. And there were times in the second and third season where he felt the song didn't need to be just shredded, but he had written Skwisgar as this master shredder, so he had to push the boundaries of his playing to keep up with the character.
      But his non-Dethklok work (Galactitron) is great, because you see what he means about wanting to do something outside of the way he wrote the characters.
      The guy is a creative genius.

      @@ozmobozo As a vocalist he doesn't have the control or the technique to be considered "one of the greatest" and he isn't exactly expressive either.
      I never said it's about who shreds the fastest but technique is important no matter the genre of music, it allows you to play anything you want without restrictions. He certainly cannot keep up with most of the top guys these days.
      That doesn't mean he isn't good or that you can't like him and appreciate what he does, he's clearly one of the best song-writers in the genre and I personally think that's more important than being the greatest guitarist or vocalist and I suspect that's exactly the reason why he's great, not his ability as a player or vocalist.

    I remember the trailers for Metalocalypse coming out on adult swim and it absolutely blew me away! I mean a show that was an extremely violent cartoon and evolved around my favorite music genre! I absolutely could not believe something like that was going to be able to be viewed by my eyes and I was not let down one bit. The show was an absolute masterpiece in animation and featured some of the most wacky and zaniest characters ever and it was absolutely hilarious! IM DR ROCKSO THE ROCKIN ROLL CLOWN! I DEW KOKAAAN3! STILL HOLDS UP TILL THIS DAY IN MY OPINION! 😍😂

  • @jacobbetz9657
    @jacobbetz9657 8 ปีที่แล้ว +449

    This guy is crazy. The way he plays is almost too clean. It's kind of like he has no particular style of his own, rather he just plays like a conventional classical teacher would instruct. Not saying it's a bad thing by any means. I mean, it's almost as if he makes no mistakes. Very technical playing. I could watch this video so many times.

    • @EvANCodeS321

      Jason Luthor But even classically trained artists have there own flair and style, e.g., Randy Rhodes, Ritchie Blackmore, and a few others. I can't really find anything unique that pops out about this guys playing.

    • @rostifardian
      @rostifardian 7 ปีที่แล้ว +75

      Well that's because "his style" is that exact song. He wrote it. He is I think 3 characters of Dethklok.
