Top 10 (The Second One) - James Murphy's Solos

[@davisooi8971]

I wanted to play solos like James Murphy 33 years to be exact. And he is still one of my favourites. His solos had always changed the dynamic of the song he shredded on. I was heartbroken when i heard he was also diagnosed with brain tumor along with Chuck Schuldiner , fortunately he survived.

[@micahatticus4257]

absofckintudely as I only found out about him cause pretty much all my favorite death metal albums had him as guest lead guitar. found out after the fact as those were my favorite albums of each band but really were the James Murphy albums.Obituary, Death, Cancer, Gorguts , broken hope, goes on and on.

[@n0wsinn]

the song that introduced me to James was killing spree on spiritual healing. killer solo

[@cristhiandavipereira7875]

James is so unique ! Unmistakable just like Andy LaRoque

[@Walamonga1313]

Genetic Reconstruction is one of my favourite solos of all time!

[@lt8400]

Think I just replied to you under an Andy Larocque solos video

[@undisputedattitude2902]

James Murphy is the best Metal guitarist that has ever existed!! I've always been his fan and that will never change.🤘💀🖤🎶🎸🔥🤘

[@michaszuty5035]

The entering solo in Infected is just awesome! I always get creeps when I hear it! Anyhow, Cause of Death is like very first solo album of James. His playing is the thing that made this album so special, I think many will agree with me.

[@bassturbator666]

absolutly

[@marcelotormentor7188]

I agree

[@leerv.]

Cause of Death blew me away. It was actually this album that made me hunt other things James had done, which is how I came across Death's Spiritual Healing and the pandora's box that opened, including Cynic and Gordian Knot. I miss those times when every new artist or album was ready to lead you to yet another artist or album. James' playing is so unique, about 20 notes in, I know it's him. I still love his tone and the way he picks, the notes almost bubble up off the fretboard.

[@ВладимирПанев-у1ь]

Of course...por supuesto bro....🍺🍺🍺🤘

[@philipcash9261]

i know it's kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?

[@YogiBrull2011]

James Murphy = Guitar God!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@wojciechmajchrzak2250]

Trail of tears is my favourite solo of all time! James had tonnes of an amazing solos but that is just on another level. True masterpiece!

[@BrianCarreraShaw]

It was Trail Of Tears that got me hooked with Testament and took me out of the Metallica-Megadeth-Pantera omly phase! Thanks James Murphy. One of the best solos in my opinion!

[@Walamonga1313]

Hope full you went back and listened to their stuff with Skolnick too.

[@Pleurotus]

Fun fact: the mid section of the Trail Of Tears solo (8:06 to 8:21) is played by Testament rhythm guitarist Eric Peterson. I think that throughout the entire LOW album, James and Eric complement each other's work just excellently. They created a masterpiece of 90's thrash.

[@rastislavzrelak9238]

Konkhra just blown my brain off, James did excellent job like in every other band, wish he would do another Disincarnate

[@skeletonmakesgood]

Well, you definitely got #1 correct! That beautiful solo work on Trail Of Tears is just incredible, and moving. Well done!!

[@joaofranciscopintolucas]

in my opinion it's missing "Touching the Earth", "Eyes of Wrath" and "Wandering Soul". James is incredible! a true inspiration.

[@Yocambio]

"Touching the Earth" is a great track on an album made even better by Devin Townsend's vocals. I went straight from this album to Strapping Young Lad and never looked back.

[@joaofranciscopintolucas]

Bloody true my friend!

[@Tesswrench111]

​@@Yocambiotouching the earth is Chuck Billy. Devin is on Since Forgotten and The Last One

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

So glad you put Trail of Tears at No. 1. Only recently discovered this song and it's the most emotional James has ever done. I owe you man. Almost 5 years back, you introduced me to Obituary and I've never looked back. Thank you so much!

[@DarthWinterMadness]

I just rewatched the Roadrunner United 25th anniversary album, and realized how strong of a guitarist he was. Now I'm here listening to more of his guitar work. It's amazing. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@nerocaesar8301]

I enjoyed your list. Trail of Tears is an awesome way to end the video. I also like Touching the Earth off of Convergence.

[@adrianlizardo1064]

There is much difficulty involved with deciding which James Murphy solo was better than the other...uh, it's a James Murphy solo... James, you have inspired so many things and people to become.

[@davidboulogne7075]

I am glad you have put Trail of Tears, such a beautiful journey to listen to his magic. The song is already excellent but the solos are out of this world

[@bonavenaindrasakti8802]

James Murphy..!!!🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@ieb994]

Thanks for part two. James Murphy is my favourite.

[@mohdariffin5487]

Within the mind.. amazing solo

[@michaelforest3332]

Personally i would place the solo from Heavensent Konkhra as the absolute number 1 solo!! That shit is awesome

[@Tesswrench111]

Weed Out the Weak is such a sick album, all the solos are insane.

[@Egtt11]

Need a part III !!!

[@MikePineda-vk1qn]

James your my favorite gutair player and threw time to your skills never failed me as a fan you have overcome major changes in your life and you really are amazing with the aggressive solo's and the Mello solo's you just flow and make those notes become the music I just wanted to say your the man

[@dismaeddimitris24]

James Murphy!!!! Thank you Master!!!

[@Yocambio]

No question about #1. My eyes tear up every time I hear James' "Trail of Tears" solo, and I listen to it regularly, since the album first came out. Still my favorite Testament album of all time.

[@rememberbeginning]

That solo James did on that Solstice album! The one at number 7!

[@rastislavzrelak9238]

I love Konkhra with James Murphy

[@Yocambio]

And don't forget Chris Kontos was there as well, fresh from peeling the flesh from my face on the Machine Head debut. If the opening track on "Burn My Eyes" was the only thing Chris ever recorded it would be enough to qualify for epic status.

[@ramlankamal7030]

So happy to see, "Survival Reaction" got in the list among others that I love from James. Do a third one!

[@brownmark6615]

James Murphy has such a unique style, I used to always be able to pick him out when he made his cameo appearances on those albums. I believe Malevolent Creation had him on a song. He was in a band called Incantation. The production was atrocious but, James Murphy was their guitarist, so...

[@cdsmetalhead99]

"A band called Incantation"? They're one of the most well-known old school death metal bands out there... and James Murphy never played with them.

[@getbig666]

AWESOME !

[@obscuraterror1891]

unbelievable

[@evertonvinicius1971]

Eyes of Wrath, Testament. Great guitar solo's James Murphy.

[@FFF502]

Amazing

[@z1reticuli]

Geez, still missing that one-of-a-kind solo from Broken Hope's Engorged with Impiety...

[@troymurphy6531]

will we ever hear a new disincarnate album????

[@z1reticuli]

all hope lost for that...

[@ieb994]

I wish James and Bryan would just do a one off for some compilation or something. James said he has some material from way back when still lying around

[@ChainsawLuca]

Weed Out The Weak. Underrated masterpiece

[@dismaeddimitris24]

Mind musician guitar Master!!!

[@reborn-lw3jc]

Sin duda un genio infravalorado

[@romanimre]

The solo makes mé I heve shivers....

[@michaelz1387]

Можно слушать вечно...

[@tiagomoscardini4103]

legend!!!

[@mrmanlet7385]

Obituary Infected. Best fucking intro to a death metal album IMO

[@dismaeddimitris24]

One of the best guitarists around the world is living legend ! Only respect Thank you James!! dimitrisdismaedOfficial24 🤘🤘🤘

[@tiagomoscardini4103]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@musicnutzunite]

And I think his solo on "Trail Of Tears" is transcendent. Until recently I had mistakenly attributed it to Alex. My bad James. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@slobodanmedojevic6336]

That second solo in Trail of Tears is by Eric ' The RiffMaster' Peterson!

[@neilmac3731]

The obituary solo is his best pc its not long its not his most crazy but it has so much to it but hes def a fav guitarist

[@benitohernandez935]

Opening solo to Obituary -Cause of death album. 💰

[@slobodanmedojevic6336]

Yes!

[@LeoM-zt3pl]

3:35 total vintage Death vibes Leprosy era 💪

[@Bob_Shy_132]

Yup the kid is pretty badass! \../

[@danielblake1537]

Between Killing Spree solos & Low Life solos are my favorite!!

[@martohisatomi]

i found Solstice, but the name album is Pray for the Sentencing

[@smokebanshee9298]

Testament's Hail Mary should've been on this list.

[@marko_makinen]

THIS.

[@Tesswrench111]

my favourite is Legions in Hiding, but really his work on the whole Low album is fantastic.

[@jimmyttkacz2006]

Know this cat thru Juan at trident studios

[@andychinn7674]

I still think the last solo on Race the devil song off his 2nd solo album is one of his top ones.

[@getbig666]

dude i think killing spree is way better than Tempus Omnia Revelat

[@cdsmetalhead99]

Find the Arise is another unforgettable one

[@tiagomoscardini4103]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

[@clbrown1388]

James Murphy has killer vibrato

[@moshebenofel6837]

No gorguts inoculated life

[@musicnutzunite]

Has anybody ever tried to REMASTER "Cause Of Death?" The album sounds like shit and is poorly mixed except for James. It would be awesome to hear a better mixed version to MY ears. J/s...

[@MikePineda-vk1qn]

James your my favorite gutair player and threw time to your skills never failed me as a fan you have overcome major changes in your life and you really are amazing with the aggressive solo's and the Mello solo's you just flow and make those notes become the music I just wanted to say your the man
