+jcage #awsomness look up god of fire by man o war
someone get this man a guitar
Cameron Byfield Violin is so much better than guitar. guitars are lame
Cameron Byfield anyone can play the guitar
😂
So is music. When you're a musician, you get really into your music. Just creating and playing it will give you a high like no other.
"When I was young, I always wanted to be in a metal band. But my parents bought me a violin."
lol I like how you said "breaking all possible rules written down for the instrument" haha. Awesome performance and his electric violin is totally decked out!
His violin sounds beautiful and the way he get passionate about the music evolving in his hands makes it majestic.
This dude was amazing. Picked up the violin like 3 weeks ago, and haven't regretted nothing.
Tomllling I'm a professional violinist, Ive been playing for over two decades and something I've noticed is that usually the better someone is the more eccentric they are. This is some of the best playing I've seen, so who cares if he's completely nuts! He's amazing at what he does!
He doesn't just break the rules, his violin does too. I've never seen even an electric violin like that. Man that shit is beastly.
now this is a guy who ENJOYS/LOVES what he does best and lives off it...now that's a career
He is unbelievable his style is so unique!
Saw him on 14th St. in New York I have been obsessed ever since then!
He was probably forced to play violin but always wanted to become a guitarist, so he combined the two and became A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! O.O
No, but seriously, this is insanely good :OO
That's good! He's a heavy metal violinist.
I...I would download this. So many times. In a row.
2021 and I'm still here
People who can't relate to pure genius often cop out by calling it 'insane'...no, it isn't insane, it is just being able to express intense feelings on a very high level. On Independence Day, this is a great performance, you can hear all the problems & frustrations this nation has had to deal with from the very start! Bravo!
My ears aren't bleeding nearly enough. [turns speakers up higher, plays again]
@Dosagia what an amazing crackpot! really like the way the audience take it all in their stride, mad mad mad brilliant!
Wow, my expectations were blown away. Sounds awesome.
thats what passion looks like
@justbolla It sounds like he is running it through a guitar pedal board. I hear echo, reverb, distortion, flanger at 1:54, phaser after that... They don't show his feet so I can't tell if he is hitting buttons, maybe his sound man does it for him.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! his movements are kinda frightening but its cool the way hes expressing his playing
como se llama ese modelo de violin??
Not sure if the crowd is bored or just SPEECHLESS!
MAN!!! He shredded the hell outta that thing. I'm watching again XD
That was amazing! That's some serious talent!!!
what...its beautiful...
you can't sustain infinitely on a guitar.
so that being said, this is truly epic
Now I need an electric violinist for my symphonic metal band.
great man.........why dont we all make this guy an artist.....
the guy's making a tame, classic violin into a hardmetal rock beast! O.O
rock solid classical training, especially apparent in his right hand
So much passion, incredible
At 0:12 & 0:16+0:17, you can see his distorter in the far right, amp+distort, where you can adjust how the pitch 'flow's from the violin, giving the auditory 'illusion' of an electric guitar.
the only thing more powerful than his music skills is the hilarity of the crazy metal-insane jig he's doing while he plays the sang
Dude...that guy's violin is shaped like a dragon and has freakin' lights on it...sweet.
He was born to do this .
He definitely enjoys music
i cannot beleave what i just heard i even spelled beleave wrong.
Hardcore Legendary!....I hope to be able to play the violin like this guy one day.
I love the dragon's head on that violin, instead of the scroll.
He is amazing!! I love the passion and heart that he puts into his performance. It's a shame that the people around him were to dull to understand artistry! Very cool to see the violin played in a "Rock" style...very cool!
This guy is awesome. I am impressed how it sounds that violin. Surely it deserves a congratulations. Although I doubt can do something similar with the acoustic. Greetings!
what kind of pants are those and where can I get them?
The violin itself looks totally awesome aswel
love his great passion that isn't insane. if you have heart for everything you will enjoy it, no matter what people look at you. he is enjoy in his own world!
Sick as hell...he needs to be on stage in front of thousands
This is his song Spartan Glory
He's talented. He really enjoys playing violin.
I love that !!
OMG... this is INSANE, SKILL AND TALENT FTW
Anyone know the name of this song he plays?
wow. awesome playing.
how does he keep his hair out of the way?
I love the dragon head he has in place of the scroll!!
This is AMAZING!
insane skills. its like a god of violin playing
Michael Shulman
the song is Spartan Glory
It's Michael Shulman - Spartan Glory
SICKASS VIOLEN !!! i have never seen one like that
And they said i'm mad because i want a violin, a great amp and a distortion box..
how did he keep the quality of music when he makes large moves?
Yes it is Michael Shulman
looks like hes having fun! rock on man.
Lost guitar = rampage on the violin
Get this guy a contract quick stat
when did steve vai start playing the violin?!
He's Michael Shulman (youtube channel ShulmanMusic), i believe.
"I'm not really sure what to do with my legs..."
@UnitTheWorld Because It doesn't sound like a guitar, it sounds like exactly what it is: an electric violin with effect pedals.
michael shulman one of the legends of violin!
That was awesome! I really want to get a dragon violin now!!!
Wow...what a brilliant violinist
I actually quite like his style. He don't give a shit about rules and plays the way he likes, indulging himself. Much more entertaining and interesting than many so-called professional violinists !
@IgoOrLee Agreed! He's great and his violin rocks!
fantastic guy......absolutely fantastic.
This is just incredible. Pure talent.
I want his electric violin!!!!
How are the people in the background just sitting there looking completely unphased? I'd be pretty happy to be there!
don't you ever get paranoid when you leave a comment and someone will check out your channel?
staring in amazement
what...kind of violin is that called?
This is not the Violin. The title should be Insane, period!
Never thought I would see someone jam on a violin. I was wrong.
This man should do a violin battle or duet with Lindsey Stirling. It would be so good that it'd R18+ XD
what's his name?
@Llynok The fact that not all people can enjoy this kind of music is what makes it this special. You know what would happen when the 'normal' people got a hold of this music.
racket? dude this is pretty frickin sick, look im all for classical music but we gotta push the envelope sometimes. i think the more kinds of music you learn to get a taste for, the more fulfilling it is.
some really nice action there - kudos
what kinda violin is that?
That violin is sick!!!! I love it!
@2007wesman He's obviously fairly proficient on his instrument, I was just pointing out that shredding it out and making cool noises with distortion isn't as difficult as it appears. Especially in comparison to true classical tecnique, which I'm sure you can understand.
awesome music. i'm lucky enough to work near Union Square and i see him about twice a month there playing in the subway.
i love his VIOLIN ! AWESOME !
why do they all jump around like that?
It looks Like So Much Instruments Are There.
Shulman is absolutely fantastic violinist...
This guy would make an AWESOME addition to any power metal band..... or any metal band, period!
fantastic. very good.
Is it just me or at the end was there a note after he stopped playing?
Azbazzer It's called delay. You can't fake playing a Violin.
0_0... This guy rocks! My jaw dropped listening to this dude! Adding to favorite for sure LOL
amazing....
thats tiny tim... he's back!!!
