Toccata and Fugue in D minor Meets Metal - Johann Sebastian Bach

[@SoWeird4U]

Some say Bach was the first Metalhead in history. Just hear his music and you would get metal vibes all over his body of work.

[@DbladeMedic]

Yea man when you add distortion to bachs work holy crap its some of the best metal ive heard

[@331Erock]

Easily a metalhead 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@panda4247]

yeah, his heart was at the right place. He just lacked the instruments back then. This cover proves it

[@Russell146]

But my favourite heavy metal composer is Wagner ))

[@yitznewton]

What is the pipe organ if not Heavy Metal... most pipes are of a lead alloy

[@xjet]

In the words of The Terminator: I'll be Bach. Top cover mate!

[@DragonaxFilms]

Fun little story: my mom's not a metalhead, but she loves your covers. She also loves Toccata and Fugue, so much so that she had the organist play it at her and my dad's wedding, and listens to it all the time (especially around Halloween). So the second I saw the notification for this, I immediately told her and we listened to it together. Absolute banger, and mother-approved :D

[@331Erock]

Love you mom!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Bach was 22 years old when he wrote this piece, THIS MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS MADE YESTERDAY!

[@alansaldivares]

I’m confident this is what JSB had in mind when he composed this masterpiece.

[@stevenopp4658]

No need to overly edit a truly classic. Just give it the life it deserves. This song has needed to meet metal for years

[@Wanderpriester72]

Bach would be proud of you, thumbs up guy

You have no idea how long I've been asking ppl to make a metal version of this song... Made my day.

I absolutely love when you make classical songs metal. Moonlight sonata you did way back when was the absolute best thing Ive ever heard. Edit: I dont suppose youd be up for hungrian rhapsody #2 would you?

This is f'n beautiful and brilliant! One of my favorites, a song I've grown to know intimately, playing it on keyboard and church organ frequently. My only wish is this song were full length 10 minutes or so! I need to own a copy of this song! Please tell me you've made it available? I'm a firm believer that Bach would have been a metalhead. Beethoven and Vivaldi too. Keep em coming!

[@andyguy0610]

Briliant!! I like to think the greats like Beethoven and JSB would be delighted at how the ways of performing their music has evolved over the years sine they were first written.

I have seen and loved many of your videos. I really love Halloween alot. After hearing Toccata and Fugue and started wondering if there was a heavy metal rendition of it like how Van Helsing's Curse took a bunch of classical pieces and metalified them. I absolutely love this. You are one of my all time favorite metal guitarists.

[@JeremiahLambertArt]
