Anybody else have this on their favorites? And have been consistently listening to it for years? No? Just me? 😅

[@ViolinOnFire]

❤️

[@kurosaki541]

I was scrolling through my favourites and found this again from over 10 years ago 😅 and now it's in my downloads and it's still equally amazing.

[@rubenmedina1542]

I honestly feel you bro this music hits totally different then other's like it actually talks to your soul and makes it feel relaxed and free

[@wolfkafkin]

[@DeBergeracs-s1n]

[@meals24u]

hey man, I know its been a long time since you uploaded this vid, but what kind of processing effects are you using in combination with this violin? Thanks for all your uploads, the metal one is sick..

[@meals24u]

never mind my last comment, stupid me didn't read comments before asking. Already got it, Cry Baby + Mesa Boogie 2x12! Great job boss. I get a decent sound out of a Trainor 800 with 4x12 and a line 6 FX station.. Thanks again

[@ApocalypseofMichael]

***** This. Is. Brilliant! Don't stop.

[@germanocolletti3209]

***** 200000 are mine.

[@NewaZusa]

those quick rapid movements made the violin sound like a guitar :O

[@Internalharmony92]

I had a cousin who played guitar and sounded that way. I wish he was still alive to see this amazing talent.

[@ViolinOnFire]

[@ViolinOnFire]

Tina Maddalla that's awesome, thank you for sharinf5!

[@yuto5921]

this video is jaw dropping I want this guy to perform with lindsey Stirling

[@euginadiprospero4764]

This is absolute favorite piece by him. And even though I have listened to it a thousand times over, I will probably listen to it a thousand times more. Brings me into my own world every time. Absolutely fabulous!!!!!

[@user-lw5oc1tt8k]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmapeHR-gLl-n5Y

[@itscptnbambi]

Used to play the violin when i was 6, then my dad died a year later and i kind of stopped because of it. Watching your video made me think of him and how much i missed playing the violin. Now i want to start playing again cause i forgot how awesome the violin sounded! Great song, keep doing what your doing! :D

[@ViolinOnFire]

CptnBambi man, thank you for sharing that. i'm hoping you pick up a violin again. many blessings this christmas to you.

[@owenowers]

I hope you get as good at Patrick, I wish you the best of luck in your classes ( if you go to them xD)

[@noflyzone13]

NO THANK YOU

[@aliyaht6970]

no prob

[@Youlikethevideo]

Congrats.

[@AllisonxLoveyx]

Being someone who played violin for 5 years. This melted my heart it's so beautiful and unique. I haven't really seen people use electric violins (:! Kick ass dude.

[@Hutch5321]

Wow! That was so smokin', I was expecting the violin to burst into flames!

[@thatchick1980]

I'm 32 and my 12 year old daughter just got me into dubstep. I have an eclectic taste in musics. I enjoy rap, R&B, hop-hop, metal, classic rock, slow jams, and even some Celtic and ethnic music. I have to say that this fits in very nicely. You have great talent and I hope that you continue to add more to the world of music.

[@marjorieannbryan334]

What an amazing creative talent, really unique and soulful way to play the violin!!!

[@ViolinOnFire]

Marjorie Ann Bryan Thank you!

[@marjorieannbryan334]

***** thank you for sharing your amazing gift and talent:)))

[@tbreen22]

dude SLAYS IT

[@ViolinOnFire]

the day i went in to shoot this. i had a whole different track in mind..sierra leone by mt. eden..i heard this by accident..ran through it once in my kitchen, and then the studio about 30 minutes later

[@j.dachandler9541]

I wish you hadn’t said this. It diminishes your music and your art and you as an artist as well as the people who learn from you. This is classic if you didn’t know already. And it’s one I teach my 5 granddaughters. So don’t be so cavalier. A true fan, Dee.

[@-alhirafi6425]

I love hearing this music Since the date of upload I hope to hear from him in the future good luck my friend

[@ViolinOnFire]

Lots more music coming this year. Sorry it’s taken me a while, thanks for being here 🙏🏽

[@RealTDragon]

Nice violin music BRO!

[@gnaniboy]

masterpiece

[@ViolinOnFire]

Thanks :)

[@ViolinOnFire]

wow, grew to 400,000! thanks!

[@vickyr9076]

The way you play this song brings me to tears. What a powerful artist.

[@kristenmoon9964]

[@zeomatrix3053]

Haha XD

[@crumesd]

Agreed

[@euginadiprospero4764]

Me too

[@Themadfranklin]

No one else I have found of late has such a terrific talent, so well displayed on KZbin. Bravo!

[@shelltoe9073]

9 years later and I’m still jamming this

[@cheeryypop2045]

Yo same

[@mrnemo04]

One of the most intense and extraordinary Performances I've ever seen. Does he know he's a Super Star? Everyone who listens or watches certainly will. Wow Patrick, thanks for that.

[@ViolinOnFire]

[@ArtfulDodgerM]

[@ViolinOnFire]

[@Azuka0611]

I dont get tired of watching this over and over again man your talent is incredible.

[@minibanana6710]

me: finally did twinkle twinkle little star *watches video* me:FFFFFFFUUUUUU

[@cakeworm1200]

I'M ALMOST 60 AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVES...I LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST ONCE A DAY...IT REALLY INSPIRES ME....IT'S IN MY ALL TIME TOP TEN!

[@tbreen22]

this guy is still commenting on his video!?!?! I LOVE this guy and his talent, and it literally blows me away this guy hasn't been played more and lost his roots like most artists now-a-days..... as opposed to computer generated talent this guy has ACTUAL musical talent, which sadly is rare in the music business now...The fact that this guy is EXTREMELY talented, stays true to MUSIC, and is still here responding to us crazy people blows my mind. If you read this, much respect dude, you are amazing and I hope you continue to pursue this amazing ability of yours.

[@ViolinOnFire]

man, that's awesome to read. thank you, that is all i can say :)

[@tbreen22]

No thanks needed man, you're awesome

[@tbreen22]

literally every song I have ever know pretty much grows old and overplayed with time, this remix/version of this song NEVER grows old. I could listen to it all day, and it will always blow my mind how we play more of Katy Perry (song and voice is completely altered by computer making the "artist" really not that necessary) than someone like Patrick's music, which takes actual skill, time and talent. You take anyone off the street, add the right sound effects and boom you get Katy Perry, but only a select few people are talented on a instrument to this extreme and actually are the ones for making ,music enjoyable, not some computer, I would love to shake Patrick Conteras hand and thank him for his love and dedication to music, a rarity now-a-days

[@eleanorbarsic8065]

My son is 6.filked his heart... He came running in to see his fav guitarist ripping out... Then you stopped him in his tracks... "Come on!!?? Electric violin!?!? " I didn't know I could like this more! That was great!

[@RustLegends]

Doesnt this sounds like an electrik gitar?

[@scotthardman4178]

No.

[@ViolinOnFire]

Scott Hardman thx

[@minercrafteroverkill]

[@ViolinOnFire]

Sam Stokes thank you, glad you still dig it :)

[@samjstokesss]

And back again 🤣

[@ViolinOnFire]

thank you! I've been getting alot of comments about a duet with lindsey. honestly the best way to make that happen is to leave a comment on her videos saying you want this duet to happen...if there's enough of a wave, i know her team will see..her management wrote me earlier this year, i will do my part along with you guys and write them and see what happens!

[@SeaNBlack]

Sound like Electric guitar

[@ViolinOnFire]

cool

[@BawsAnimations]

It is technically.

[@YulieYuna666]

Can I just say that this is the best violin playing I have seen in a very long time. I am absolutely in love with the power behind your music, and I only regret never finding your channel before today. For the love of all, never stop playing.

[@ViolinOnFire]

aww thank you so much. what a nice comment..don't worry no stopping!

[@AJ-on9vk]

......wow

[@ViolinOnFire]

AJ thanks man, happy new year

[@AJ-on9vk]

Violin On Fire you too

[@elmerrivascruz4984]

I don't know if you would read this but I really love this interpretation... and I wonder what kind of effects do you use in this... :) anyways best regards...

[@DanteDarksaga]

Elmer Rivas Cruz he can't see you but i can.

[@missgipsydanger5025]

DO SOMETHING WITH LINDSEY STIRLING PLEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mihaj.undefined]

That is a very good idea

[@Angelwolf1234567]

Dear God... I have watched and heard a lot of electric violin dubstep... But this blew me away.

[@NicEl11682]

between 00:13 & 00:59 is my favorite part..

[@squishymonkey0518]

Nic El Me too and bits of the fast chorus. It has almost an oriental feel to it. Wish there were two versions. Like a continuation of the beginning.

[@ViolinOnFire]

squishymonkey0518 good ear! There was a couple slides in there where I was imitating an erhu,which is a Chinese violin...your the first to catch that

[@squishymonkey0518]

Yeh it was amazing! I love that type of sound. Do you have any other songs with that sort of sound?

[@ViolinOnFire]

squishymonkey0518 thank you! yes i do .. try this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWibqYyVp7Cci5I

[@squishymonkey0518]

Listened to it and it was awesome. It brought me to watch your House of the rising sun cover which actually made me tear up. Would love to see you live someday.

[@blazespirit]

Ok, I stumbled across this on a search for Rise and Fall, and I have no word. Simply amazing. You mixed three of my favorite things, violins, electric instruments, and dubstep. A million thumbs up to you.

[@crumesd]

Epic "VIOSHREDDER" lol

[@ViolinOnFire]

thanks!

[@SYVERIA]

This is just dope... I have no words, I'm crying right now it's so awesome

[@ViolinOnFire]

Gr!m duuude...thank you

[@thelonelypiggy]

My god. Pull those bow hairs off..

[@YourXboxClown]

Yes, please don't compliment on his skill. Just find something to complain about. Oh KZbin... Awesome work Patrick. Love the vids and keep up the good work! :)

[@YourXboxClown]

***** You know who is usually distracted by a string? Kittens. You people are distracted by the same thing a toddler cat is distracted by. Congrats.

[@ViolinOnFire]

YourXboxClown hahaha your awesome!

[@ViolinOnFire]

***** bombastic! haha…well hannah,.i can't say i completely disagree with your view, although keep in mind it has been over a year since i released this….please take a chance to view my new work (if i haven't lost you yet)…i shot a video in africa you might like, and have some simple things with just me, a mic, and a macbook…and no sunglasses ( which was more of a security blanket than a need because at the time i still got really shy with being on camera)

[@YourXboxClown]

Oh how quickly you flip-flop after putting down the guy's fashion choice, lighting and "noise". Not to mention suggesting narcotics were necessary to enjoy it. If you're going to be rude, at least stick to your guns.

[@susieh2981]

Patrick are you playing at the Anaheim Packing District this Friday Jan 17, 2020? I ask because they have it listed as Violin "of" Fire. If it's you I definitely want to be there!

[@ViolinOnFire]

Susie H yes ! 7-9pm

[@fallenwayward]

[@Vegetsu101]

Nice "guitar" solos ._.

[@LuminaLucifuga]

You are awesome! Because of you I bought this week an e-violin and start to learn to play this wonderfull instrument after everything is arrived. It's a childhood dream since 20 years and now your music pushed me to fullfill my dream. ...So... let's hope I won`t suck at practice. XD (Sorry for my bad english)

[@ViolinOnFire]

Lumina Lucifuga thank you for that nice compliment and good luck on your journey !

[@PaoloGreenhouse]

I've listened to this throughout the years at various times. Keep visceral bro - love the story told within!

[@skippingstone46]

Man, this is truly amazing. I normally do not jive on dubstep whatsoever, but this caught my eye. I have seen few musicians that wear the passion of their music on their face as much as you. Unbelievable.

[@gagetaylor7013]

Absolutely amazing! The Eddy Van Halen of instrumental violins! Astounding!

[@epicsteve]

Awesome and beautiful! But then, I've come to expect that from you, Patrick. Your playing always amazes and inspires me.

[@SaulHernandez-pr3rz]

perfect combination of violin and dubstep the best I've heard I would like to hear more

[@Z5Z5Z5]

At the end of the day I relax (hard to believe right) to his music it's truly beautiful.

[@wendellroberts4911]

OMG !!! I could listen to you forever ! Especially "Eyes Wide Open" !!! The way you play is soooo awesome ! YOU ARE MY NEW Buddha Patrick Contreras !!! May you play as such for many years to come !

[@mandimcdonald461]

[@ViolinOnFire]

Mandi McDonald thank you!!

[@mandimcdonald461]

You are so welcome, and thanks for replying. I just began violin lessons and have been trolling the net for inspiration, and your talent is jaw dropping. So enjoy your videos and am looking forward to more.

[@puregold41]

One of the sickest dubstep music i have EVER listened ! Great job

[@patsyverdonck]

[@vickyr9076]

I have never been so impressed with anyone as you. My sons play and write music and I love their music. You however are amazing.

[@Cesargarcia-nz3hg]

Patrick your doing great! Keep on giving people motivation to do what they love and to never give up.

[@Nerrrddi]

[@ViolinOnFire]

Thank you for sharing that! I hope your violin journey is still fun .. even if on and off :)

[@tylertheis20]

[@Itachihandyman]
