Chordplay - The Chords Of Celtic Frost

[@JoelGrindMusic]

NECROMANTICAL SCREAAAAMS

[@josefek3389]

You started that Mexican Radio riff and immediately I heard that Tom G "OOO!" in my mind. Thanks for this lesson!

[@n0d0yuna]

It's so cool that you're doing a video on Celtic Frost! Absolutely legendary band and quite underrated to a degree. Their riffs are so creative and always have interesting note choices, much to learn from them!

[@VimFuego]

Didn’t see this one coming. Nice surprise!

[@jonathanalcover1539]

Hats off to you for this choice without requests 👉🏼🤘🏻not a band many would choose. Very primitive, not very technical and yet one of the most influential bands in extreme metal subgenres

[@shreddo72]

I'm amazed you haven't had any requests for Celtic Frost. Guess I didn't do my job either. Thank you!

[@voronOsphere]

We were both asleep at the switch!

[@JulesN.]

Wow! I wasn't expecting this one! Celtic Frost is one of my favourite bands, so cool that they get an episode! 🤘🏻

[@SuperNick090]

Celtic frost ! You just took me back to the 80s ! 🔥🔥

[@jmar482]

Very cool vid. I remember seeing Celtic Frost way back in the mid ‘80’s. They were fairly big back then in the underground thrash scene and could really tear it up. Didn’t know that Tom Warrior worked for H.R.Giger.

[@DS-wi3bk]

wowwwwww the best tutorial, thanks man 🤘

[@Yonder88]

I remember arriving at Heavy Sound festival in Belgium in '84, and everybody was blasting the Hellhammer EP "Apocalyptic Raids" and especially the song "Triumph of Death". We all knew something new was stirring... ;-)

[@voronOsphere]

Celtic Frost!!!! Pioneering Metal Heavyweights!!!! Necromantical Screams!!!! Thank you, David!!!! And thank you, Tom G. Warrior!!!

[@VimFuego]

Wicked! Incredibly influential in extreme metal. The heaviest riffs for October. Can’t hear that stacked Megiddo riff without hearing Reed St Mark’s incredible huge tom fill that follows it. Sooooo heavy! Thanks a ton Brewster. Happy Halloween 🎃.

[@julianschulz1620]

Always have been a HUGE fan of Celtic Frost, all albums (including the controversial "Cold Lake")

[@Emlizardo]

Thanks for demonstrating some of this great stuff. When I first checked out Celtic Frost's To Mega Therion and Into the Pandemonium I thought, These guys are crazy! Loved 'em right away.

[@michaeljensen8211]

There is a little Mercyful Fate there. I got a wish....Tim Calvert from Forbidden (52 years old, died in 2018). Can you trick out the soloes, sweeps and other coolness.... See the two videos (you write) Forbidden rehearsel with the one foot in hell and the other Distortion. I saw Them live in Copenhagen and will NEVER forget ☝️😁 Thank you Dave ☝️😁

[@jonsvenson7056]

It wasn’t just Metallica and Megadeth playing this kind of music in the early 80’s , Celtic Frost was most definitely trying to forge themselves in a new genre of Metal Nice to see you showing some showcasing to CF, David

[@Brian_Vallejo]

Unexpected episode, but absolutely welcome! I remember discovering Celtic Frost back in high school and being in awe of their music. They’re still one of my favorites. Excited to see them in Monterrey, Mexico next month 🤘

[@b.a.7228]

Thank you!

[@tallpaul1020]

Thx Dave, great video. Ron Marks , who played guitar in the late 80s early 90s is from my area in Ohio. He's a pretty cool guy. Great pick for a chord play. Keep up the great work 🎸🤘

[@snstyvr7597]

Crazy enough doing Frost, but leaving out “Circle of Tyrants” and “Petty Obsessions”… extra crazy! Thanks. Love the surprises on this channel.

[@dinovelt2155]

David THANK YOU I love Celtic Frost and all Tom G Warrios work....ALL.... Im glad to know you did this video without previous requests. Please do CORONER, their demo death cult wa recorded with Tom G Warrior performing vocals. They are great band inspiring guitarrist Tom Barone

[@Nystagmium]

Love your videos and your taste in music. Here might be one for the "almost no requests" pile: Uncle Acid Chord Play. Many thanks!

[@awguitarroom8033]

Please do some Trivium stuff. Matt and Cory are metal legends at this point. Some of the best guitar players/songwriters there is. Love your channel as always Dave

[@jimyounger9490]

Love these guys , seen these guys To Mega Theron tour with Martin Ain. In Chicago at the Metro. Man unbelievably , but hours before the show we were there and right in front of the venue was the band in a green station wagon and they were broke down. No one was around and just us standing there. I walked over too the car and Tom asked me did I have , and I can’t remember exactly what he asked for like jumper cables or something , but I was like no man sorry. All 3 were sitting in the car and they didn’t look happy and I couldn’t believe the whole situation. I was a kid , in our teens but we drove there, maybe early 20’s ?? I graduated in 84 so that could be figured out how old we were. But till this day if I ever got a chance to see Tom I would ask him does he remember that. I remember feeling bad because we couldn’t help. Man still even now I remember looking in the car and them just sitting there. I even said hey to Martin because he was gone for a short period and I was glad he was back. R.I.P Martin Ain.

[@redastrachan8978]

I thought we had the bus already, but in any case that was typical of that tour. The bus did die mid tour, and we finished the tour in a passenger van. The last date was the colossal NMS show at The Ritz (NYC) with MDC and others. Martin was chatting backstage with Glenn Danzig. What a summer

[@jimyounger9490]

@ who the hell am I talking to ?? Is this seriously someone from the band ?? Man this would be absolutely incredible. Yes out in front of the venue and I think it was early afternoon. We would go to shows really early a lot. I don’t think anybody else was around. We were just hanging out and you guys were in this green station wagon. Do you ever remember a green station wagon ?? It freaked me out cuz we were there to see you guys and then seen ya in that car. And I felt so fucking bad because I couldn’t help. Like I wanted to help because it was you guys and I couldn’t. Don’t remember exactly what Tom asked for , but we didn’t have it. But it was definitely something to do with a ride. If i talking to one of you holy freaking shit. Never in a million years did I think it would be possible. lol , kinda like back then actually. Wow. Hey man. How ya doin ?? Still love Celtic Frost !!

[@redastrachan8978]

@@jimyounger9490 Reed. Yeah it's me. First date of the, "Prepare for the Blitz" tour l think. Voi Vod, Running Wild. Being our first U.S. tour, a lot of incidents were unexpected. Thanks for the kind words

[@jimyounger9490]

@ wow , I’m blown away. Hey Reed. The show I’m referring to was just you guys at the Metro in Chicago. I don’t even think there was an opening act. I’m almost positive Tom was in the passenger front seat , and Martin was in the back seat because I stuck my head in the car and said hi to him. So you must have been in the driver seat. I don’t mean to bother you , but you have to understand from my point of view , that was a moment I never forgot. It happened so fast , after realizing I couldn’t help that was it. Said hi to Martin and walked away. We didn’t sit and chat , like I said I could tell Tom was pretty upset. Martin was in the back just chillin. But it was a really cool moment for me and to be speaking to you now yeah , maybe I’m a little star struck. Just because you were in that car that was a really awesome moment for me I never forget. So glad you responded and thanks a lot man. Now I have a second cool moment to that one what about 45 years later , lol. Thanks man and it was awesome talking to ya.

[@redastrachan8978]

@jimyounger9490 Cool. Tom was upset with the promoter ("Jolly" was his name l think) from the minute we arrived.

[@cimmerian100]

Couldnt help but notice heartwork made an appearance there as giger did the sculpture on the album cover. Would love to see a carcass episode Dave they are one of my fav bands

[@voronOsphere]

Awesome "Creepshow" shirt, David! Wishing you a Happy Metal Month, from Pittsburgh!

[@jonsvenson7056]

Awesome. I loved this band back in the day. They’re not fancy but they rock.

[@voronOsphere]

"Heyyyyyyyyy...... I said..... Heyyyyyyyy...." -Tom G. Warrior from "The Usurper."

[@txhc666]

Amazing!!!

[@jeffersoncamargo3738]

Great for video for one of the most important bands in music history. Next band suggestion: Van Der Graaf Generator

[@voronOsphere]

Nobody requested Celtic Frost but you, David?!!! Great request!!!! And I love artist HR Giger! Also, he was the FX Director & Creature Designer for the first "Alien" movie (1979)!!!

[@billydeewilliams9104]

YES!! Into the Pandemonium is a Masterpiece!! Earlier albums are also good but..

[@billydeewilliams9104]

The Celtic Frost Tribute album is pretty damn good as well.

[@dougshankle7946]

Going deep into the annals! Nice shirt too! :) The cockroach episode freaked me out as a kid.

[@voronOsphere]

George A Romero & Stephen King!

[@uvarighalvarado8677]

It was nice to see the Attahk cover, I love that album and Magma so much, it would be great to see it feature someday on this channel.

[@elevin1972]

Thanks for this vid!! Been listening to them since the 80's with Tom Warrior continually changing his name lol! Another non-requested band I would love to hear is KREATOR! In particular, the Terrible Certainty album (and maybe Pleasure to Kill). Thanks for doing Voivod also! (If you redid any Voivod albums, War and Pain is my request!!) You rock and much love to the V-Amp also!!

[@klauswigsmith]

OMG, yes! My second favourite metal band, after Mercyful Fate. This is awesome! I know you've don't King Diamond, but could a Mercyful Fate edition be in the cards? Cheers!

[@removemental2873]

hell yeah

[@salahbaker4089]

Its funny: I forgot about Celtic Frost. To me it was mix Helloween and start of Swedish Metal.

[@dan_perry]

Was that the cover of "Heartwork" by Carcass earlier in the vid? My bandmates and I used to cover some of their material in the mid 90's. Prime metal month stuff too!🤘

[@vincent7626]

Great Video! How about doing one on John Christ of Danzig. No doubt he had a major impact on all the songs from the self title Danzig up untill he left after the 4p album.

[@Groteskfull]

Time stamp says "Dawn Of Megadon" 😆 This video was an unexpected and welcome surprise. Solid band, Celtic Frost.🤘

[@Rockin_Kat]

I'm not the biggest metalhead but I really like their Vanity/Nemesis album.

[@uncleremus5046]

🍺’ski looks like a Power Chord Tutorial!🤘🏻

[@anthonydavella8350]

Hows about the mighty Criss Oliva? Have you touched on him? Hall of the Mountain King just rips beginning to end

[@LateNightLessons]

Yes, there are a few vids hitting some of Criss' music. Be sure to do a channel search for a Three-For-All lesson on him and also the Chordplay lesson The Chords Of Savatage. ROCK ON and thanks!

[@anthonydavella8350]

Thanks, I will check them out @@LateNightLessons

[@j2b696]

awesome idea for a lesson! maybe next lesson: Magma?

[@voronOsphere]

Magma!!! "De Futura" and "Zombies."

[@voronOsphere]

1990s Norwegian Black Metal (Mayhem, Darkthrone et al) was mostly shaped by a blend of Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Venom! Note: Burzum hated Venom, which added to the building tension that eventually ended in 2nd degree murder in Norway.

[@vicmorrison8128]

Did you do an episode on Nektar? Got hooked on the "Sounds like This" album. Just wondered. Love your channel! Always a blast!

[@andreasb4202]

This was a great and informative video! Thanx a lot. It would be awesome if you could do a Samael chordplay at some point. Cheers!

[@avadhutgita2067]

Great lesson ! Since you are going down the darker path, would be cool if you did a video on Mayhem 🤘

[@voronOsphere]

"Freezing Moon" is such a great Mayhem tune! Such a haunting guitar solo in there, too!

[@isolateddemon9438]

AWESOME CHOICE.👹

[@warrior4949]

Mexican Radio, a great cover of the original by Wall of Voodoo

[@stephenredmond8035]

Nice surprise gem. Should do Armored Saint 🔥

[@micahwatz1148]

NECROMANTICAL......SCREEEAMS

[@Wyldwulf]

Would that I'd have bought that Giger Ibanez when they were remotely affordable...I almost did.

[@voronOsphere]

Winter 2024 Request: Chords of Norwegian style Black Metal: Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, Emperor, 1349, Immortal, Gorgoroth, Taake, Naglfar.... an Icy Chord Goldmine!

[@glaucosouza1971]

Venom next???

[@MarkEdward-bl6cr]

So the Ibanez guitars were designed by the same H.R.Giger they're worth crazy money now fantastic choice David for Metal Month 🔥🤘👍

[@mortensen1961]

The Ibanez Iceman was designed in the 70s, the Giger one is a special edition with his artwork on it.

[@williamhernandez5542]

Voivod...should be covered. They are in the same category IMO

[@voronOsphere]

David has a Chordplay: The Chords of Voivod! Also, guitarist "Chewie" aka Dan Mongrain (who replaced the amazing Voivod guitarist "Piggy" after his death from cancer) left a nice comment in the comment section!

[@williamhernandez5542]

Thank you ! @@voronOsphere

[@Emlizardo]

And we should credit Mexican Radio to Wall of Voodoo. Kind of wacky for a metal band to cover it.

[@voronOsphere]

And it works so well!

[@paulconnell5399]

Nothing from Cold Lake? Next time eh.

[@silverbullet82]

A Huge Influence on the Early 90s norwegian black metal scene..

DUDE!! You look like " seals n Croft" doing Death metal!!L.O.L.!!!🤷🤣

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

Swiss made

[@thoth_amon]

what ever happened to celtic frost, did they get run over, did they get lost, maybe they drowned in a cold lake, etc...., lol

[@waynegram8907]

LATE NIGHT, come on man Celtic Frost is not a pioneer that band wished to be as good as the band named TROUBLE because they are classic 80s metal pioneers. Listen to the album SKULL that added doom rock with classic rock guitar solos and dual harmonies. Most people don't even know about the band TROUBLE .They have a good front man singer and good classic rock guitarists plus this band had to be an influence on metallica to make ride the lightning

[@voronOsphere]

Celtic Frost are 100% pioneering and totally original and influencial! Also, one can like and appreciate and make instructional guitar videos for both Celtic Frost and Trouble. ...Unless there is a law against it, that I never heard of.

[@FrankKrynojewski]

If Celtic Frost wasn't influencial, what then !?!? I prefer Hellhammer, but "Morbid Tales" got a Lot really twisted, crushing tunes hard to ignore...brutality Made of simplicity.

[@holysmoke8439]

In his book he said only recorded all his albums with the same guitar that had a slightly off pitch sound to it. I think it was Ibanez invader but I don't remember I lost the book

[@FrankKrynojewski]

Ibanez Iceman BK 50, Solid build. The cheap but great sounding black one and the only Version with the "Iceman" logo
