Any clue if you might put your rendition of Mars and Jupiter on Spotify? Currently there aren’t really any great rock or metal versions of it on there.
That's not that hard: 2-2-3 or 2-3-2 or 3-2-2 or 4-3 or 3-4 or 5-2 or 2-5 or 1-6 or 6-1 or 1-3-3 or 3-1-3 or 3-3-1 or 5-1-1 or 1-5-1 or 1-1-5 or 4-2-1 or 1-4-2 or 1-2-4 or 3-1-2-1 or 3-2-1-1 or 1-3-2-1 or 2-3-2-1 or 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 or 2-2-1-2 or 1-2-2-2 or 2-2-2-1.
@@billrobertjoe Ozzy Osbourne even said it himself. The riff on the Black Sabbath title track which is the first true heavy metal song came from Mars. So yeah playing Holst on an electric guitar essentially started heavy metal.
@@billrobertjoe Ozzy said it as well I saw him say it with my own eyes. Just because Geezer said something doesn't mean Ozzy can't say it as well. Idiot.
Anyone find it odd how easy it is to transfer metal to orchestral and vice versa. The two types of music actually share a surprising amount of mechanics.
Both of you are fools; this is clearly the theme song of the ships from my Stellaris Nation; the Terran Federation, that are named after locations on Mars!
A lot of people who cover classical as metal choose to put their spin on it and that's where I tend to stop listening. But you didn't. And I appreciate that.
xero spacious it changes the original feel of the song and messes up the overall tone, feel, and pacing. Not saying it's a bad thing. With enough time, I'm sure you can put whatever you want in a song without it sounding off or dumb.
the problem isn't people who "put their spin" on a song when they cover it. the problem is them still CALLING it a cover, when it is actually a remix. a COVER shouldn't have any "interpretations" aside from the instrument chosen
@@dedede5586 The electric guitar was invented in 1931, and he died in 1934. There's a chance he knew what it was. I don't think that's really the point though, the fact that he even released The Planets at all was proof that this mans was out of this world and ahead of his time, I bet he'd have appreciated this.
@@worcestershirey I respectfully disagree. Any electric guitar Holst may have seen before his death, (and I highly, highly doubt he would have come across such an item unless he traveled within specific jazz circles,) there is a huge difference between the sound of an original "lap steel" electric guitar and the heavily distorted version you hear in this rendition. And there is no one alive who can categorically say that Holst would have appreciated this at all. It's best to enjoy the music for what it is and avoid making assumptions about the composer. For all we know, he would have hated it.
@@mainantagonist considering this piece is directly responsible for the creation of metal (Tony Iommi was inspired by its heavy tritone use), I think holst would be damn proud
Just sitting with my parents listening to Holst, and my dad said 'this would really suit being a heavy metal song, I wonder if there is one' you did not dissapoint! Perfect! Love it :D
This may sound weird to say but I would love to hear "Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity" as a follow-up to this one. For some reason I can't help but think that a passionate, screaming guitar on the final iteration of the main melody would be absolutely mind-blowing.
Dude...I am very impressed that you were able to play this song on guitar, this song was meant for a full concert orchestra, and you nailed down every part! I am proud to be your sub :D
I listen to this interpretation many times a week and I always image myself as MMA fighter and from 4:06 starts my theme song when I'm entering the ring :P
Well, King Crimson DOES have a cover of Mars (that sounds very little like the original outside of the riff, and is more noise rock than anything else, but still)
Well, John Williams did use this as his inspiration for his Star Wars score, which ultimately came out of Lucas's desire to make something like Flash Gordon, so....kind of :)
this is amazing. How the fast attack of the guitar gives even angrier sound that matches the feeling of the piece. Also I think this is one of the best drum fillings in orchestral music i've seen congrats
Omg I know I'm late to the party on commenting on this but HOLY SHIT!!!! I had The Planets on CD when I was a kid just because of the game Outpost and LOVED it. ... and now I'm hearing it on electric guitar (et.al.) and in a Metal format!? I FUCKING LOVE THIS!
@bobbyboshay4406Jupiter and Saturn merge forces, and, using a spark from the Venusian fires, become the second star in the solar system, vaporizing Venus.
Got Tristram vibes in the beginning, then it turned into J-RPG combat, then some bohemian rhapsody, then a J-RPG bossfight, then some Roman Sabbathon followed by another bossfight. It's an interesting experience, and impressive work. Well done.
