The Brilliance of Chuck Schuldiner (20 DEATH Songs WITHOUT DISTORTION)

Hey Metalheads!
This has been my most popular series of videos! Ever since I released the first one that reached over 1M views, people have been obsessed with Death Riffs without distortion. I get tons of messages of people asking for more, so I decided to make this super long, extended version as a final act for this beautiful series.
There are 20 songs in total and they are in the chronological order of the Studio Albums. From "Scream Bloody Gore" to "Sound of Perseverance". It was a bit challenging composing the whole peace, especially because I wanted to do them in the order, this way we can observe how Chuck`s riffs evolved and changed through time. So here we have it. Almost 20 minutes of Death Riffs in a way you've never heard before.
I really hope you'll enjoy this video and be able to appreciate the beauty behind Chuck's amazing compositions. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and SHARE this video. You'll be helping A LOT this fellow musician!
I'll see you in the next one 🔥

Chuck was truly one of a kind, death is a top 5 band for me. They never made a bad album ever, the guitar playing absolutely superb.

Chuck was truly a pioneer like no other, a shame his life got taken away so early, would have loved to see his takes on modern metal 🤘

[@hieioni3354]

All because of those greedy doctors who wanted more money from Chuck's successful career.

[@XPGrindDeathking]

​@@hieioni3354 What are you on about? I'm pretty sure they didn't even know who he was, also it's weird to assume it's their fault the cancer ended him.

The most kick-ass surf music ever made!

[@user-nh1vz2dj1t]

I'm sure, Chuck is watching you right now and says: Thank you my son, that was awesome!

[@ceobe7458]

Long story short, watching your original videos of the clean death riffs was the final thing that pushed me to start playing guitar. I now own more guitars than I should, a pedalboard that's too big for my skill level, and I probably spend about 2 hours a day playing when I can. Im still a beginner since it hasn't even been 2 years but id say I'm doing pretty good. btw, i don't remember which riff it was but one of the riffs in ur first clean death video, its now one of my alarm ringtones.

[@wootks]

hell yeah keep it up! I am similar to you in this way.

[@LeonardoLux96]

That`s amazing to know. Thank you and keep shredding 🔥

funny... I'm sitting, listening to the voice of souls, thinking: "I'll go and listen to Leo's version without distortion." I go to KZbin and here is a new video))) I haven't experienced such joy in a long time.

[@qwerty.4450]

I just experienced the same thing and this is the first comment I read lol

[@Mike-ix5sv]

I love how this series shows that Deaths brutal and heavy music is actually quite beautiful. 1000 eyes! One of my absolute favorites!! Incredible playing sir, no distortion to hide mistakes. Every note articulated, flawless trem picking. Chuck watches on, smiling with approval!!!

[@gregmccourt4730]

Hail Chuck! Rest in Power.

[@jsviktor5]

one of the few bands to never made a bad album... all their albums are 9 or 10's

[@lonix9734]

Most of the songs sound more menacing without distortion than with it, it just shows you what a great writer chuck was, we will never have a Chuck in our lifetimes ever

How i love Trapped in a Corner. That intro is amazing and that solo...

[@dimebag1999]

Best metal composer of all time

[@raudhre]

Maybe someone said this already, but I love that you faded out with the last riff that Chuck ever recorded with Death. I've always considered that his swansong.

[@thetravisparker5259]

A beautiful thing about being a musician/artist is that your work will always speak for you for ages to comes. RIP chuck.

[@deathndoom.]

you are one of the guys that makes me proud to be a brazilian

[@TitanScream]

Death is my favorite band in their style. Forerunners. I love Chuck's vocals. They are streets ahead! Anyone told you you kind of look like Chuck. Lol.

[@thedarkolive]

There is something with the non distorted version of these tracks. I'm sure they can show to non-listeners of Death of deathmetal genre as a whole, how beautyful the music is and how many art is within it. Great performance as always!

[@pop000690]

Incredible work as always. Chuck's work was truly incredible and revolutionary and I'd say almost all of Death's songs translate very well in a clean tone 🤘

[@hieioni3354]

And that is a fact!

[@PurplePhantom4]

Yeah they really do

[@carlolaison]

11:38 That sounds so beautiful. That part has always been one of my favorite Death moments, Steves bass playing under that is so high level and fitting

Bravo! Because of the order you notice that there is more and more emotion in the music and I am now sitting here with goosebumps watching how Chuck's sick riffs have received another beautiful documentation for all coming generations, regardless of whether you like loud or soft music. Well done!

Greetings from Chicago Leonardo! You are blessed with such amazing talent. Thank you for entertaining us! Death is one of my favorite bands now. I just wish I knew of them back in the 80’s. I loved and still love 80’s metal, but unfortunately I did not know death metal back then. My husband has broadened my metal horizons 👍🏼🤘🏼

The picking is exemplary. Great playing and well articulated. During Scream Bloody Gore the picking and how you had it mic'd up sounded almost like maracas, tambourines and snapping fingers. Kind of exotic in a way. I enjoyed your playing very much. That takes skill

I love you friend, I've been following you for a while bro, about 15 years ago I had a Jackson Flying V with Floyd rose and due to financial problems I sold it at the time. I recently found the current owner by chance and he wanted the same price for it that I sold it for haha, you have inspired me to buy a new guitar, I am also a death fan!! I have several acoustic guitars but obviously it is not the same, I have in mind the ibanez rg370ahmz, in a short time I will buy it and in addition to the amplifier and pedal, thank you very much bro!! good vibes!!!!
