[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Thanks man i really appreciate that!

[@WhoisVinnie]

I got a saxophone player in my band. It's a metal band. Screw what they say.

[@ortiunglaublich7578]

that tounge work is just to insane

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

😳😎

[@grim9172]

I played bari for a quite a while and even though he made mistakes on holy wars that was SO freakin impressive. Idk how that’s even possible on sax.

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Why does everyone keep pointing out the Holy Wars mistake 😭 i tried my best 😭😭😭 Jk jk. Thanks man!

[@mavisonmeitei9964]

@@ThePhunkyPharaoh please play holy wars full its so jazzy

[@Shitsurei-ib2no]

Great suff again! The really cool thing is that you play bari like a guitar hero plays guitar, which makes you a Bari hero.

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Lol thanks man 😂

[@HandbrakeBiscuit]

Awesome work - within about 3 seconds of watching this video, I felt a sudden urge to play Doom... ;)

[@domune]

Hello I'm French, I'm 15, I'm the saxophonist and I dream of a career in Metal as a saxophonist and what you do, even if it's covers, looks like what I want to do more late

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Hey man, that’s awesome to hear! I wish you the best of luck with your journey! 🤘🏼

[@domune]

@@ThePhunkyPharaoh thank you man good continuation " L'homme au sax baryton"

[@joeyuzwa891]

Look up Caleb Canatheviphth. He’s inhumanly skilled at saxophone and makes covers of REALLY hard metal songs

[@aleksanderolbrych9157]

I hope to hear a metal band that replaces one guitar with a sax one day, and play actual music instead of tech/random gibberish.

[@jaspern.7702]

Jorgen Munkeby is a Norwegian metal saxophonist

[@postjersey]

Holy shit this is really impressive and i love the avenged sevenfold one that was super great!!

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Thanks man!

[@paulamaceio]

[@DiscorporateOfficial]

Music has no boundaries. Bravo!

[@jmonk2011]

I love this video! Thanks for playing these iconic metal riffs, and for demonstrating that saxophone can be a good rock instrument. I am learning to play tenor sax now and am looking for inspiration to learn some metal and rock riffs too. As well as jazz, of course.

[@ApokalyptikNM]

This is awesome I used to play Baritone sax in high-school for jazz band.. and never in a 1000 years would have thought of this

[@sonnief]

Awesome !

[@derboi3648]

Awesome! ,But I wish there was a cover of extraction zone by dragonforce on bari

[@WhoisVinnie]

I definitely need a saxophone player in my band. Problem is I asked everyone I know in high school and they don't know a saxophone player like this. Life sucks.

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Yeah not a lot of people play in this style haha

[@Aura-Of-Syrinx]

Okay raining blood is so gooooood

[@METALGRAMMYS]

Epic

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Thank you. An i eligible for a Metal Grammy this year? 🥺

[@METALGRAMMYS]

I’m gonna do a video in a few weeks with a metal band and Kenny G. You wanna do the audio for the sax part?

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

@@METALGRAMMYS I'm down but can you send some more details? My email address should be on my "About" page. Sounds like fun though, whatever it is

[@METALGRAMMYS]

[@sirwilliamhorsepower2062]

Do you have a full version of Psychosocial? If not I would actually combust if you made one, love the way it sounds in your style

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Nah im not sure I’ll get around to a full cover of that particular song but im working on some covers that will incorporate elements of that sound

[@sirwilliamhorsepower2062]

@@ThePhunkyPharaoh 😮😮I look forward to it!

[@thomasalanproctor]

Your tone is great in the Painkiller solo. What pedals/effects are you using?

[@alnd26]

Cowboys from hell is so jazzy

[@TheCJsaxman]

I wish I knew how you double-tongued your low range on bari, I can't double-tongue below like an A or G on tenor. Just heavy articulations on the syllables, or is there more to it? Awesome job though!

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Yeah the lower notes are pretty challenging. I noticed that changing to a “duh-guh-duh-guh-duh-guh” tongue placement on the lower notes helps to naturally drop the jaw and help the lower notes come out. Other than that i also just accept that most are gonna jump the octave/harmonic anyway haha

[@mossgarden6561]

Bravissimo è possibile avere gli spartiti su questo canale

[@LukasvT]

Great work! Do you have the sheet music?

[@LukasvT]

Especcially psychosocial is great 🔥

[@josepedrosilva3481]

Hey, what effect pedals do you use throughout the video? Thanks :)

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Hey man, it’s a combination of chorus, distortion, harmonizers, tape saturation, reverb, delays

[@masonpark635]

Fuckin awesome man

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Thanks man

[@existentialopal721]

I feel like the tubax (Bb) would fit better in this position.

[@p1nkfl0yd1an]

Last time I looked it's like $10,000 minimum for one lol. Not many people with those.

[@joesgotnobeans3246]
