Clubbed to Death (guitar improvisation)

[@LucasTheUltimate]

15 years and this is still my absolute favorite improv cover that I've ever seen!

[@riighteousfreek3824]

Every now and then I have to play it again Has released its tab ?

[@eddyrose8596]

Have to agree!!! I always comeback to this.

[@pineappleginseng1557]

My friend, I was 14 years old when I found this video with a friend. I listened to this more times than I can remember throughout the years (mind you, on my first KZbin account, different than this one I am commenting on). Tonight, I am blessed to have been recommended this video on this account, and it brought back some VERY fond memories... I am 31 years old now. I don't know if you realize the impact this video you uploaded sixteen years ago has made on me... Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood.

[@thegreatabraham]

yeah it's incredible

[@rowiian]

This song was the reason I made a "Cover" folder here on KZbin. And here I am, ten years later.

[@lXlinfinitylXl]

I listened to this 7 years ago and still to this day i get an unreal vibe, amazing.

[@nyxi2189]

+lXlinfinitylXl i found this in december of 07. walking down the student parking hill in 9th grade in the dark morning, seeing the whole school still lit up by street lights is an unforgettable feeling.

[@xkeepfightingx]

+lXlinfinitylXl idem

[@lawrencelucas6333]

lXlinfinitylXl heard this a couple years ago gave me the chills up my spine, and now I jam to it to motivate me...

[@jacksisco8581]

yep me too, and I have yet to find a better version !!!

[@Matthewblackheartqaq]

Same case here.. Unbelievably good.

[@stinkyfinch2627]

2020 - still waiting on someone beating this as greatest KZbin guitar solo

[@immunetou2]

2022...still waiting like you. I dare say he didn't even beat himself in his 40th Anniversary edition. That one is really good as well, but doesn't quite strike the emotions as deep. This is an all time best version of the song.

[@Remula17]

Still here for decades

[@Lil_eee]

Its 2024 still nobody can't find one

[@arnold0007]

Yes I’m still listeing it for beggining. Always in original I miss these guitar parts. Absolute love. Respect.

[@arnold0007]

Still waiting in 2024

[@BlackmanTheJock]

Guitar at the back was like.. "Finger me later, master!"

[@frost-80]

+BlackmanTheJock hahahahaha

[@xxsound_of_chillencexx8585]

HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG rly nice one...

[@ugra15]

I'll say this a billion times, Who inspired me to pick up the electric guitar? Not Page, not Vai, not Van Halen, not Slash, not Clapton, but TOM!! I swear on god! When I heard this for the first time back in 2007, it melted my brain. Thank you Tom :-) But for you I'd have never know how awesome it is to be an electric guitarist. Seriously thank you tom. You personify awesomeness for me!

[@lowtotal5116]

Ah yes , I remember when this came out, then I told my friends that there was no way anyone would play better, and now I see that I was right. I listen to this thing every couple of months just to remeber about some of my memories. I was looking for a better cover for a long time but it wasn't there. It is immortal.

[@partagerregiment7076]

My grandfather died today and I found this truly amazing piece of art, i dedicated this song to him, to his spirit RIP

[@iclopez5508]

Rip:(

[@Egyptianking888]

Legendary... perfection... OMG ⚡ 😲 😱 ⚡ 😲 😱

[@canerdemir4595]

Thank you so much dude, it's one of my favourite song covers ever. I really appreciate that you've made that cover. I run out of words, I can't even describe how gorgeous is it.

[@deanbusyuk6420]

The year is 2021 and this song is still good

[@FloaKa]

i wasn't expecting this....when he started to "scratch" that guitar...my heart started to shiver like hell....incredible version, keep up the good work!

[@brytonalbany2085]

2022. I swear I watched this over 10 years ago and still come back to hear it. It's a classic.

[@ernestomonroy9203]

My all time favorite since 2010. Sounds deep, dark, & passionate af!

[@lukeaaron5588]

I don't think I have any option but to listen to this for 10th time.... Yup... the chills are real.

[@Khalid_Bin_Waleed]

This is BEAUTIFUL! One of the best solo I've heard in my life...

[@MsTimrussell]

This - Ladies and Gentlemen - Is what you call natural talent - It can't be bottled and sold - some have it.....the rest of us say.....oh crap

[@MultiAnis21]

you can improve in everything, it's just a matter of time (y)

[@XReFleX-X]

Hell yeah

[@josef5600]

Talent yes, but don't forget the thousands hours of practice and dedication.

[@nobeltnium]

Oh crap in deed

[@kyledesilva1589]

People aren't born with talent, they develop skills. And this man is highly skilled.

[@TheAutumnLeavesPodcast]

This solo is truely magnificent, I heard this at least over 100 times in the past 4 years and it still catchy, Keep on playing man! Great job

[@macielo]

i´ve been listening to this since he uploaded it and it never gets old, infact it gets better everytime. LEGENDARY !!

[@JustNice980]

i can honestly say that i did not think it possible to improve on the original version. kudos brother. i am officially blown away.

[@stickfigkill]

Best guitarist I've seen in a while. He's not just playing the hell out that guitar, he's singing through his fingers haha

[@r0mc0ca]

Phew ...never get tired of this....genius

[@macielo]

[@TYSON409]

Wow I enjoyed this more than the original version. Congrats man. You should've be famous by now with that talent .Gave me the chills!

[@ricobigbronxbeard2759]

2022.... Still......no better......solo........than this! This whole cover is a great good amazing fantastic solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@microwiz]

Not at all a fan of guitars ... and yet when you started up your piece, chills ran up my spine. It fit so perfectly. AWESOME!

[@joshuawoolward3536]

everyone that listened to this more than 5 years ago can remember exactly what they were doing at that moment, that is some powerful shit right there!

[@drumfisch]

although neither into the rocknroll style nor into strat guitar, this thing seduces me and kills me with goosebumps. this man is gonna do something great in future

[@zovedits9797]

probobly 10th time i look at this in a week or so. I will never ever get tired of hearing this masterpiece!

[@dasitmane5666]

yeahh me too

[@CaviarClub]

This man is the son of Orpheus. This is not a cover. It is a totally unique version, and damn, I bet Rob Dougan would love to work with this guy.

[@kelenor]

Please do this again, in 1080p and release it. I'm sure Rob would give is approval.

[@notargetbg]

U cant do this again mate, not the same..

[@Bramslootmans]

He did, haha

[@notargetbg]

Listening it atm, it is not the same at all. The lines are different.

[@Bramslootmans]

That's why it's called a rendition..

[@freez0ne]

I have no reason to make two identical versions , in period of 9 years many things are changed, and music too

[@fricolin]

Hace más de 12 años…que vuelvo siempre a tu vídeo…a escucharte cada año. Llevas acompañándome toda una década y siempre me da escalofríos escucharte…

[@niteowl6779]

DAM! At 1st I didn't think I would like it, but then I couldn't stop listening! Freakin awesome! Hes a pro!

[@jordiTGN07]

Amazing!!! It's incredible how the bended tapping sounds at 1:01.

[@San_Tom]

I saw your video 15 years ago and I am still amazed...

[@stefaniewei7279]

I watched this video in November 2008 ... So much addiction still today .... I listen to it every week ... It's amazing how you made a boring song into a total explosion of heart and mind "just" by playing your guitar. It's always a pleasure to listen to your songs but this one i will always love the most

[@BAKERFOREVER]

2024 here listening. I have been listening to this since 2008. l can't believe I have not commented. This is truly amazing! I am a pianist and can't even replicate this! May the God/Almighty University bless you and your family for all your days!!!🌌🙏💪💯🎹🎼🎶

[@mgreen1879]

Dude you are awesome. This song bring tears to my eyes.You made this song even better. Thank you

[@JeszeeLaw]

The sound of a guitar player is as individual as the soul itself. You have a beautiful style brother, rock on my friend!

[@BirdFlow]

From time to time i still listen this cover. Amazing work! What can i say.... thank you very much!!!

[@lautrec359]

I am blown away with your performance. Amazing transitions, shreds and voicing. Pure old youtube gold.

[@dantegallo1547]

Well done mate, I’m speechless 😮

[@g.helm.1767]

11 years... still listening

[@scouttrooperjohnny]

16 yrs ago I watched this video and I was mesmerized by freezOne guitar solo layered on this great song which is based on Edward Elgar Enigma Variations. I still visit this channel to listen to this great version. Thank you.

[@raagaan4827]

Ofcourse you look this on 15.02.2016 and just see "Bad quality Camera and Sound" meh. But look on the Upload date: 15.10.2007! This was the Real thing for up to 20 years almost. I remember i was seen it on 2008. It wasnt on 9Gag or stuff like that... i was looking for nice Covers and just found it. I remember it. You Guy are an Legend.

[@benedicttoal1999]

I downloaded this when I was 15, 5 years on I still listen to it! amazing

[@andrewryan2814]

Love it all, from the intensity of a Hammett and the "lets see where this takes me" of SRV to the experimental almost chip-tune sounds in the interlude. Thinking of doing something like this with a bass and some wah

[@ChamakhSingh]

What a sick guy, got this tune sounding even better

[@OnePieceOfRedSun]

I'm still enjoying this shit. timeless classic (: PS: that epic finger play at 5:34 and that happy face at 6:02 =====> priceless my man, pricelesssss

[@TheAWave]

Its people like you that makes awesome stuff even more awesome.

[@uploader486]

You're awesome man! I watch this video for the first time 3 years ago, and still give me chills! EXCELENT WORK TOM!

[@OneHandArmy1995]

I listened to this at 6 in the morning.... I think you just saved me day!

[@tonylatter5094]

Lol.....yeah this never gets old, very fine playing, again, I say, we need to jam buddy

[@brianbecmer2336]

Going down a nostalgia rabbit hole tonight. The last time I watched this was in 2009 when I was a freshman in high school. This video was so formative on myself and two other friends at that point and I’m glad it still exists. Still completely rips on its own but the personal attachment and the floods of really good memories it brings just filled my heart with such joy for a time gone by. Thanks for this man. Hope you’re well.

You have to shred again like this to another one of Rob Dougan's songs man. I know you can't recreate this one, but damn, you created a cult following of you with this one cover!

[@Splooie010]

Wait sorry, I take that back, never saw your "There's Only Me" cover from him! Awesome man!

I have loved this song since i first heard it in The Matrix. This is the most amazing version of it EVA!!! Bro you need to call Rob and get in a studio.

[@pgzzz]

Please record this again in 4k. It hurts my eyes now but it is nectar to my ears.

I love this song, i knew it from Matrix, and i think this is the version that describes most the movie. Other versions just take the suspense, this also takes the action, and that is awesome!!!

[@brunochernaki4344]

Been listening to this for so many years... Every now and then I come here. This is such a masterpiece. It's beautiful and agressive. Just sounds amazing. BTW I truly recommend you guys to listen to this at the same time while playing "Destino"(on mute of course), it's a visual masterpiece by S. Dali and Walt Disney. It's that kind of stuff that acidentally SYNC UP COMPLETELY and gaves you chills. Like Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz, but way shorter.
