Yeah I guess we could use one for this forum as well. It hasn't been active and I would like to learn some more new neo-classical bands and songs. Here is one of my favorites.
Koyaanisqatsy - Memoria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqEHphyHOJ8&feature=related

8/10
I the melody involved there, and it was definatly worth a listen to :)
I also quite liked how it actually went into the song.


Gaia Prelude - Memories - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFYQSMjmnnE

I just added them to my top 40 neoclassical metal bands on myspace. 9/10
Harmony - Eternity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ium-bfjAMHc

Never heard of those guys before. Loved it!!! 10/10. Thanks for posting mate. I'm gonna buy their material if I can find it.

Time for an amateur vid I think. Saint seya, Pegasus Fantasy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5R9uz-EuHY

Ah, that's the theme song from an anime called Saint Seiya. That guy just made it 1000000X more awesome than it was originally. Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBvpZSsovPs

Sick man. Loving it 9/10

Dont know if you could call this neo-classical but it's his most Noe-Cassical sounding song I think and I kinda liked it.

Here is Gary Hoey playing Hocus Pocus :) Hope you enjoy!

Torrent it mate. I'm sure some guys here can provide you with sites to do so. Remember if you reply you also gotta rate the song I posted and submit your own entry to keep the thread running. Thanks!!

Man I must have been living under a rock for the past 20 that was my 1st listen to him but most def not my last :) That was some near perfect playing! Sweet 9½ out of 10 :)


I bought a catalog from Shrapnel back in the 80's and thats how I got turned on to new guitar players, some sucked (Bernrd Stidel) but most rocked, this next guy was not really neo-classical but his playing was nice, he did try once to attempt an Yngwie type song (sounds like Yngwies Liar to me) but this song has some nice guitar work in it! Enjoy

:D

Here is Alex Masi playing----Give Me The Sign--------

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24oCh6SGD8M&feature=related

Not bad. 7/10
Royal Hunt - River of Pain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYnk2AS4Oeg

Great tune by Royal Hunt, been listening to them a lot recently, 8.5/10.

Next up is Vitalij Kuprij: Fire in the Sun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n3tJHJ7VAI&feature=related

Very cool. 9/10
Artension - Symphonic Expedition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w_junVarHI&feature=related

Wow...seems my fate is absolutely linked with Paganini which is great :lol: I somehow also loved the cd cover and theme
so 9.5/10

This is Jason Becker:Marble's Fatal fable:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1oukoPmAM#movie_player

As a juy says there, at 1:07 it gets totally sick with those arps/scale runs...One of my favs from the album :lol:

Yep totally sick playing from Jason. Can only be 10/10 for that one. No wait.....11/10 actually ;)

Next up is Adagio: The Stringless Violin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyvMwXEx_c4&feature=related

Awesome 10/10.
Ozzy Osbourne - Revelation (Mother Earth) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGzNoCNfMlA

Excellent track from Ozzy. There is a dark quality about Ozzy's frist 2 solo albums that he's never quite managed to recapture since. 10/10 for that tune.

Next up is Dragonland with Holy War:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUP6LlIloXA

Believe it or not I've been chatting with one of the guitarists from this band by email over the last 2 days as he's interested in buying a guitar from me. :D

Great tune ID. The song got a little repetitive for my tastes, but the lead work was very refreshing. Unique with a variety of techniques, good mix of harmonization, and great ending transition back into vocals. 8/10

More Rob Marcello ... Insomnia!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKizJCS9z6k&feature=related

One of my fave youtube clips that one. 10/10. I wish Rob would release a solo instrumental album.

Next up is Time Rquiem: Watching the Tower of the Skies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2duaO3PPP8&feature=related

Okay i havent posted here in a while guys thanks for teaching me about modes and stuff im really advancing can now solo pretty well as long as making some good power metal riffs but.

here is my rating outa 10 for the song above me-
4

Im not really into like actually symphonies i like metal influenced stuff like yngwie, not really complete orchestrated stuff.

Now rate this one- The Crusade, Trivium.

It is 8minutes of insanely amazing riffs mixed and i would say is very neoclassical ish

Here is the video to your song you chose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtxVNRBm2SM Sounds awesome 8/10.
Megadeth - Hangar 18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtsD2tBPZgo Thought Steve would enjoy this. ;)

10/10 for the awesomeness that is Hangar 18 but the music video for that song is ridiculous, it's almost as bad as the cantina scene from the original Star Wars. ::D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2is4GtX6cs Next up is Dragon Mistress by Marty Friedman.

Gotta be 10/10 for Marty Friedman, one of my fave tracks that.

Next up is Fumihiko Kitsutaka: Falcon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD2W3Ho01Tc

Not bad. 7/10
Everyone here I assume knows this but I'll add it anyway.
Tony MacAlpine - Dreamstate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1HtHJ6LBWA What neo-classical metal should sound like.

10/10 One of my favourite tracks from T-Mac

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ph5o6KovU

Another T-Mac one, Edge of Insanity.

10/10. Such a wicked sound at the beginning. Definitely sounds like a feeling of going mad. lol
Yngwie Malmsteen - You Don't Remember, I'll Never Forget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehfqXJz-gK8

Neoshredder,


10/10

You don't remember, I'll never forget is a true classic in every way. YJM dose some great guitar work and the solo is epic to say the least. The song has a cool main riff and is a very catchy tune.

I'll post one you are all sure to love!!!!!!




The Great Kat - Beethoven Mush

Man I remember buying this cd! Still have it :) That song is really boring have to give it a 3/10




Next up is Vinnie Moore - Saved by a Miracle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4sIQyRFcEg&feature=related

This was the 1st Vinnie tape I ever owned and I loved the acoustic part in this song and the electric guitar coming in right after! Got so hooked on Vinnie after getting to the 3rd song on this album that I turned around and drove back to the mall (like 15 mins after I left) and I went and bought Vinnie's Time Odyssey :) Man Happy days!

LittleSavage,

I knew you'd love the Great Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:P



Now Vinnie Moore is just as cool as can be and this song rocks. What speed and talent!!!!!!!

I have to go 10/10 on this one my friend.




Not really Neo Classical, but this also helped start it all. So let's try this one.


Dee: Randy Rhoads (studio out-takes)

Thats my fav from him, and the 1st song I ever learned by ear still play it.
Gotta be 10/10



Next up is the title track to Jason Beckers 1st solo album, He named his album after this song for a reason! This song blew my damn mind the 1st time I gave it a listen :) I almost wrecked my car in the process reaching for the rewind button when it got to 1:11 and then the run at 1:24 :) holy crap! had to rewind and rewind and rewind :) My all time fav by him :) Enjoy

Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn (Studio Version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qCQLyb0-mI
