Requiem for a Dream (Lux Aeterna) Meets Metal

[@dutchierides5286]

this dude is the happiest guitarist i've ever seen.

[@MartinoRodrigeuo]

word, all his videos he has the biggest smile on his face.

[@Hikkikomoru]

I guess he just loves playing guitar. You really shouldn't even start if you don't.

[@intellexx]

I think the smiling is a natural uncontrollable reaction when you play something that sounds good. I do the same thing when I play and the better it sounds to me, the bigger the smile

[@doffy6543]

who wouldnt be happy if they could play guitar like that xD

[@swordsmancs]

I have more of a frown because the better the music, the harder it is to play, the more I focus on my music, and the less my face does anything. Like really, the only reaction I get when I get to a good part on my Timpani music are goosebumps.

[@neonoir-o7v]

I`ve decided it now. the genre is Happy metal, see how he`s smiling all the time and having pure fun to play with these godly skills. awesome !

[@generalrubbish9513]

Imagine if he did a collab with The8BitDrummer. The happiest guitarist and the happiest drummer

[@andreavultaggio4797]

He had only Just a Little spliff before recording the video, Just awesome I love this guy😀

If you were playing that awesome riff you'd be happy too have a good day my friend 😀😀

[@robertwelliver3717]

Love watchin' this dudes facial expressions as he plays!! You can just tell that he Loves jammin' out, and it also shows through how awesomely he jams the songs and tunes he picks. Props Dude, for real!

[@teok5665]

Robert Welliver he be like "I'm owning this shit, look at me y'all!"

[@StrangeThingsHappenInAmerica]

Robert Welliver I totally agree!

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

It is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE not to smile until your face hurts, watching this guy play! i have never seen anyone get so into the music! it is truly contagious! thanks for the videos, and thanks for this song! one of my all time favorites :D NymphetaminexXxGrrrl

[@vexaken8955]

You must not have seen Nightwish live.

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

Vexaken No i am sadly lacking in concert experiences...only been to two concerts, and one mosh. do you mean to say that someone actually exceeds this level of enthusiasm?

[@vexaken8955]

+NymphetaminexXxGrrrl I highly recommend you look into them. And not really, but it shows that the music has a connection to the musician as opposed to just making music for money.

[@vexaken8955]

+NymphetaminexXxGrrrl Deeply apologize, I misread what you asked. Yes I do think that someone exceeds this level of enthusiasm. His enthusiasm is great, but Nightwish exceeds this level.

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

Vexaken right on :) i am familiar with Nightwish, i used to listen to them all the time, i just never saw them live. will have to check it out.

[@TheScarletWing2490]

The best part about your videos is seeing how much you enjoy making these songs. I respect people who love what they're doing.

[@joshuabatchelor471]

While i was watching this a message popped up and said my phone was overheating

[@AndJustlceForAII]

I love his attitude,he's smiling and looks happy the whole time playing.Awesome stuff.

[@viktorstagnetti7491]

1:16 - 1:27 was so raw. I literally started applauding at 3 AM.

[@timothyfloogle]

[@SokoCofi]

Why don't we spread this video? Share it as much as we can, everyone who has taste in music (either if they don't listen to this genre) would love this, this is high quality and awesomly done thing!

[@IcefireC67]

ITS BEEN 8 YEARS!! I watched this dude back in middle school! Love you man! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@aCidNow]

My opinion is that this cover is your opus magnum, after that i've heard many 10/10 covers from you but non of them were so superb like this one. Applause!

[@charlie172011]

agreed.

[@jameswebb76]

This is the one I still come back to after 10 years so definitely agree

[@jmediabuzz3589]

the happiness of your face is so beautiful to see, well played dude! keep it up :)

[@zapspiders92]

I was going to compliment the awesomeness of this song, but I don't think words exist that can accurately express just how awesome this was.

[@animegazone]

3 things I like from your video: 1. your music 2. your smile 3. your smile

[@meowsoserious8717]

the best thing is that you're all the time smiling while you're playing :)

[@WastelandBowman]

Dude, you're the happiest guitar player ever. Awesome piece.

[@EthanBalkfield]

Just look at this guy smiling and enjoying himself! It's uncanny!

[@ferrisbueller9991]

Haven’t seen your stuff in a while, just realized I wasn’t subscribed like I was so many years ago. Well I changed that. Have so much love for your work and the era I was a part of originally hearing such.

[@Ultrasound700]

This sounds like it's supposed to be a theme song to a really epic show.

[@Ultrasound700]

No, but I've heard of it. I feel rather foolish as of now. Still, epic music.

[@jadevalentine8869]

agreed Ultrasound700

[@mindsprawl]

It is, it's called fuck the system show, your in it.

[@bakopshanel1144]

This is the music used for the combat between Gozilla and Megaguirus. Look up the video. If it hasnt been removed, though, last time I checked, it could only be seen on computer.

[@VvLOGiKvV]

***** the best movie that I've seen that I'll never watch again

[@CaliRoseKnows27]

So beautiful! Fantastic job!

[@jessdecray2134]

Still one of my all time favorites after well over 10 years!!!

[@mrgameplay1001]

It took me a minute to remember what this song was, and then I lost it after hearing you play it. Great cover btw!

[@seanhastings4432]

I literally CANNOT stop listening to this.

[@jodyoliveira8969]

I feel you man.... same here... this one and phantom .... have them saved to my faves :)

[@seanhastings4432]

I especially love the part around 1:16.

[@steffl7337]

***** yeah that was sweet sound idd

[@DanielSanta166]

This guy is awesome. He does awesome work , and i really love that he keeps smiling , his smile make the whole video even better than someone who just stares with a fixed face at the guitar with no facial expression. That dude rocks

[@Springbonnie10838]

Found this song in a godzilla video when i was 4, thank you for the nostalgia

[@superplumb4]

erock you are truly awesome. i am 67 and love rock but you take it to a new dimension i listen to your playing and i am amazed....top player ...go get some

[@risingphoenixqs]

And I'm 18 and I agree Erock just straight up rocks \m/

[@annaliviadanielle]

God, Requiem for a Dream is the most fucking depressing film ever created. Hearing this just brings back bad memories. You sir did a great job.

[@lordbear90two]

I saw the movie when I was in JOB CORPS back in 2011....it definitely made me wanna steer clear of drugs that's for sure!

[@EmoHokage]

When I was in my depressed douche bag kid phase I listened to this song so much... the original not the metal one, which is bad ass.

[@pmmmsvd5383]

You should watch Grave of the Fireflies...

[@cmares5858]

They made us watch that in a film class... can't say that I love the movie but its definitely stuck with me for years.. bad memories for sure.

[@WM01129]

cmares5858 yeaaaaahhh..

[@kixie441]

I play guitar and I don't even have drums, but they are the reason i am always coming back to watch this video. Honestly this track has one of the best drums i've ever heard. Almost as good as Lars

[@mulletdxddy2098]

the smiling in every video gets me every time, it’s nice seeing you enjoy what you do. You rock man \m/

[@DeadPixel1105]

I just have to say that this song goes perfectly with playing some classic DOOOOOOOM!!!!

best requiem for a dream cover beside the one from the lord of the rings trailer

[@kanethronder5616]

Oh mate, the energy you share with us mere mortals is a welcome relief from what is life. If ya every travel through the Australian opals fields, give me a buzz, would be keen to put up in a shack and have a jam, I'm a pianist. Long time fan of lux aeterna, learning Clint Mansels version at the moment. Keep the wicked smile and energy flowing mate, the world needs it.

Good to see someone destroy a work of art with some outrageous shredding lol very very good, awesome, I loved it.

[@jinjalord]

The sheer passion of it all 🙌🏽🔥💪🏽 from the way you interpret the music, the chord progessions, the godlike chops, but above everything else witnessing the journey and the high you get after executing a lick - Priceless 👌🏽⚡🤘🏽

keep smiling brother :)

[@chandlerGameFreak753]

[@TheBlueFavorites]

[@DayneV11]

You know what I think would be pretty freaking sweet? I would love to see you play something from Eric Whitacre. Maybe something like Sleep, October, Nox Aurumque, or Water Night. Those songs are phenomenal the way they are, but I think it would be AMAZING if you did a cover of them. That would require many different recordings; but knowing you, I know you'd find a way to make it work. :) you might want to try it out. Take a slow, serene piece, and turn it around into a metal masterpiece.

[@Lowoki]

Agree

[@OtherDalfite]

Unreal how good this is. Im not even a metal fan much myself. You completely killed this

I love it how you smile while playing guitar :) how long do you play now?

[@aardithefennecwolf1125]

I was listening to this over and over again earlier while fighting 2 legendary dragons I spawned on Skyrim. Ah, that was the most epic fight I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing cover, though!

[@kangarooshorts7275]

this would make great dark souls/blood borne fight music

If the end of the world was happening, I would play this song, because it would make meteorites, earthquakes, all the bad things that would kill us more dramatic and soothing. As a fire ball would be coming down the street, this song playing in the background would make closing my eyes, accepting my death more dramatic and the best death possible. Just imagine your final moments when 3:41 starts.

[@ToaArcan]

Gangster88232 Railguns are technically a thing already, they're just hilariously impractical, for two reasons: 1) Size. In order to have decent range, the two tines that give the weapon its name have to be enormously long. 2) Heat. The things get so hot that they tend to melt themselves.
