Harp Metal

Riffson asks for Djent, get's 22 strings and nothing but 0.
iTunes: itunes.apple.c...
When music industry elite and Super Metal Records CEO Rick Riffson called me today I was of course nervous. But with a 22 string and nothing but 0, I'm confident that I delivered.

@@vladtepes2667 well in each religion they are the most powerful and the most infinite and there's nothing beyond what they teach.

I think Japans Shinto also aligns with Hindu but it's also spiritual with embracing the elements such as water wind lightning and so on. The Koran, Bible, and the 5 Books of Moses all are seem similar yet have their own changes. Each region seems to have their own religions that are similar to each other. Also each book or teaching can be interpreted differently by every individual. Even though many religions are almost identical the smallest differences have led many civilizations to war.

[@Thrash_74]

how are you such a virtuoso

[@charliechazestabrook9819]

I CAN TELL STORIES GOT TOO MUCH TO TELL!

[@YTDaimera]

I was half-expecting the harp to be strung with steel strings with some kind of terrifying Frankenstein's monster pickup jury-rigged to it, but this was probably a way better call sound-wise. It's awesome!

[@pellman77]

youtube knows me too well when i get recommended videos like this

[@Adrian-dl9nb]

It's funny how Riffson is actually satisfied with Rob's music here, so that means he should have that million-dollar contract by now, am I right?

[@james-en8yn]

Is there anything he can't do?

[@rakry4276]

To can't do anything

[@angelespinoza9760]

Rakryan Wirawan lol I just got it

[@DirtBikes_MathGarden]

+Angel Espinoza I don't get it

[@SamsTechTips]

the one thing he can't do is to not be able to not do anything

[@akshitjha6251]

Asequii yermum

[@scrathed]

This was impressive. You know... You take something (more or less) ordinary and make something completely different from it... And that's like... the DEFINITION of art :D

[@mariodequwayvus4930]

i dont know whats more impressive the fact he can play so many instruments, or the fact he plays them all so good

[@8stringsofdeath72]

Cool song... now put distortion on it and make it Djent.

[@edwardbreadwinner2722]

one could run the audio through a cab sim

[@lunapineapple]

one would need the stems

[@comradeonlyme]

Just shows how perfect Metal and Classic Music are fitting together :P

[@reJECT0]

The harp is not really used in classic music.

[@wazzap500]

Fleshgod Apocalypse, ADE, Ne Obliviscaris,... I'm still waiting for Black Metal with Harp Tremolo playing.

[@SoleilLourdes]

let him think that :)

[@wherehaveallthetacosgone3780]

+KingOfKink Yes it is. While it originated as a folk instrument, there are huge concert harps that are used in classical orchestras.

[@SeverMetal]

Does this look like a concert harp to you? This harp is more suited for folk music.

[@matttraverso4592]

be..djentle with those strings..hahaha...sorry

[@Pr1malWereHouse]

It is obvious you are not sorry for that lame pun, so... Why change your tune?

[@tk4x431]

It's not djentlemanly of you to insult his pun. Djenerate.

[@Peek935]

Hey! Be djentle with those insults..!!

[@tk4x431]

You would have got the djoke if you were intelidjent enough. Don't you know I'm djust screwing around!

[@tk4x431]

***** Thanks, that was djenerous of you to say that

[@anijay64]

Robs vids are so fun to watch. He can anything sound good.

[@mysneaker8234]

[@wintershock]

Ddosoon same

[@peteplaysmusic]

This is Djenterrific dude! :D

[@TrixoTheGreat]

This honestly sounds like some hardcore death metal Indian song, and I'm not trying being racist.

[@skaterz111]

its not racist if you dont state that it is, but in all reality it aint at all. its just an access to all to enjoy

[@TrixoTheGreat]

Okay.

[@clifford8747]

im indian and i felt te same :)

[@tukutukun]

it is because the scale that he use

[@AmxCsifier]

Trixo The Great the scale is probably Arabic though

[@MystWalkur]

This proves Yasha could still be a Metal Harpist! Oban and the Laughing Hand were probably her back up singer/dancers.

[@brokesmoke101]

now we just need Hurdy Gurdy metal, and life will be complete

[@famitory]

Wizard - Guilhem Desq

[@grungar3x7]

Low Man's lyric - MetallicA

[@skylerrizzi]

A lot of Ugeitis songs have Hurdy Gurdy. Thousandfold is a fantastic example

[@Mezurashii5]

There are Hurdy Gurdy covers of Lamb Of God on YT, look those up.

[@teslafreak]

+Yur W Unfortunately, Anna left (so did two other members) so I'm not sure they do at the moment.

[@LeoFackingG]

Play on balalaika and accordion. who wants to see?

[@actedcircle291]

I'd love to see that

[@DarkestofTimes]

balalaika metal would be, so russian. lol

[@Theinc0gnit0]

Gopnik Metal is born.

[@LS187]

accordion sounds interesting. folk metal????

[@humanbeing5918]

Я :)

[@madhurchari6851]

is there any instrument you can't Play rob!!!

[@robscallon]

Flugelhorn.

[@madhurchari6851]

+Rob Scallon ha ha you are a genius man.

[@thejako3582]

+Rob Scallon please try to make flugelhorn or any other brass intranet metal, please

[@unknownuser3.33]

+Rob Scallon That's some pretty heavy Harpcore you got there.

[@megabobrulz]

+Rob Scallon Sooooo... Flugelhorn Metal challenge?!

[@Xaforn]

This is what I want to do!! Heavy metal on my harp that I adore so much. Didn’t know it was possible, great job!

[@Baby_boodle]

The part beginning at 2:07 is just *so* good.

[@MDXDMusic]

I saw this in my subs and I was like FUCK OFF HE CAN'T DO THE HARP. Turns out he can.

[@humantacos9800]

Welcome to the world of Folk Metal. Where did you get a hold of the harp? A decent one is so expensive.

[@humantacos9800]

I love em. You can find some cheap ones, but the sound isn't very rich.

[@DominikHatHunger]

Dont forget Rob is one of the most high-class guitarists on KZbin and thus he sure is being supported on projects like this

[@ejblack1942]

For this one he bought the harp ^^ And no a decent harp is not that expensive, this harp is 385 dollars : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009V9WPE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=youtubecomr0a-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0009V9WPE&linkId=2a9a3097acefb9d66fd110399ed08ce5 But it probably sounds way less good than in the video cause it has been mixed of course

[@darthbas1100]

When I saw the headline I thought back to Omnia but they do more then metal but still.

[@fancykat9940]

Human Tacos he literally said it at the end of the video

[@theforgetutorials3869]

Hello to all my fellow Critters.

[@modellking]

... that would be a crossover

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

THIS.....IS........METALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MylesMarrero]

I heard the Tai Lopez reference and I legitimately wanted to turn off my computer.

[@mcrfan343]

Why's that lol

[@MylesMarrero]

mcrfan343 Because Tai Lopez kinda makes me gag a bit.

[@zxtldz]

[@replikvltyoutube3727]

Bandura has up to around 30 strings, i wanna see it djent)

[@Pandamasque]

68, actually.

[@emankov]

Bandura IS the ultimate test But then, the guy is an alien so who knows...

[@arnonyme6]

bruh, piano is a stringed instrument

[@casperado666]

*Bandura!* *_AND IT'S 68 STRINGS_*

[@Potacintvervs]

+arnonyme6 percussive, it's played with hammers

[@shaymary5247]

*BRUTAL!!!* \m/ I LOVE how you added a short story plot that led to your genius talent. And then you headbanged to the kick-ass song, using a harp & not bumping into it? You, sir, are BOSS!!! A legend!!!!!!

[@vitaszabolcs7557]

There is another instrument with lots of strings you might want to try: the CIMBALOM.

[@terobinuya4810]

what instruments do u play, Rob? Rob: Yes

[@thebreadster1500]

.... you know you can't just Rob one of the highest comments right (Pun not intended)

[@eonstar]

+Andrea Ibrahim pun very much intended. Also it's not that clever a statement. I'm sure many people have thought of it

[@thebreadster1500]

@@eonstar I never said it's clever

[@doncoria9505]

René Descartes the prince of metal :v

[@phromprong2068]

I love how it goes so well with the bass and drums! 😍

[@rickygarcia6289]

u should make an electric harp

[@BlindSteven92]

so? how did he record it if its no an electric harp?... im confused by that part, did he use only mics?

[@choomahinducer2520]

Probably yeah.

[@phoebewillow8000]

you would just have to mic it and distort that, which might turn out weird, or custom build a super wide pick-up to fit behind all those strings.

[@Chwibon]

Actually, it exists. Look for Camac DHC 32 for instance

[@simonthan407]

do that rob! do that rob!

[@stevenhanenburg6231]

That's cool ....but can you make a Recorder sound metal?

[@SpiralPegasus]

It would need to have strings!

[@chsnwzrd]

it's called folk metal
