Chernabog is headbanging in the Bald Mountain listening to this

Mussorgsky always lived out of his time. I am sure he would love this version

I once heard that classical music was the "Metal" of its time. Essentially, "Metal" without amplification. You, my friend, have confirmed that theory!

Why the hell doesn't this have hundreds of thousands of views?! Incredible!

I don't think a lot of people realize how much work this rendition represents. I do. Especially assuming that you did all the audio production by yourself. You did a fantastic job (not only on this piece but the others as well), keep it up !

I was just transitioning from a heavy metal mood to classical music mood when I came across this. This gem right here gets the best of both!

Absolutely brilliant. I've always dreamt of hearing this piece organised like this, and you've certainly captured the angst and rich timbre that is so characteristic of it. Cheers!

I swear my heavy metal journey began with watching this song in Fantasia as a 7 year old kid...

Ladies and Gentleman this is the Classical Metal!!

Mussorgsky was a GENIUS! And YOU are a GENIUS!

Just marking "like" to the video doesn't give enough justice to this masterpiece... what else can I do?

WOW!! This is great! When a great romantic composer writes demonic music he can do it better than any rock band can!

OMG this is amazing -- as a metal fan and a classical music nerd, this is definitely one of the best thing I could encounter! Subbed:) P.S. Have you considered doing flight of the bumblebee? Or maybe valkyries?

That looks like was written specially for heavy metal arrangement. Very cool! Probably Moussorgsky would proud.

...a Masterfully composed version of this piece,it brings out the occult abandon of the story behind it. You are an artist!

Some seriously impressive work. I've looked all over for a good "metalization" of this piece and your rendition was excellent. Now I just have to find a good version of Aaron Copland's Hoedown and my life will be complete.

I love what you've done here: metal arrangements of some of the most "metal" orchestral music out there. Can't decide if this is my favorite, or if I prefer the Holst.

Found your channel because of someone posting your Rite of Spring video in a Facebook group. I listened to it and checked out other videos on your channel, that was about an hour ago. Your arrangements and redcordings are so incredibly well done! You stay true to the original but also make it into something new. I am really impressed and I am really glad I stumbled across your videos. 🙏

There are a lot of great arrangements of this wonderful piece, but this is one of the few I keep coming back to, and the one I revisit most often.

Next Totentanz. The dance of death as death metal would be amazing.

yo this is pretty hot

WTF!!!!! O_O This video needs one million views!!! I am astonished!!!!! What a hero!

Wow I was listening to the original & was considering trying to tab it for guitar so I looked if others had already, super impressive! Awesome job

There are things in this music that I never noticed in other versions. There are also parts that seemed like intrusions in the orchestral version that seem to fit right in when you play them. I think you did Mousorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov a favor. You sure did me one!

I am in awe of the way you handle my favorite classical piece from first note to last. Dude, this is a gift for the ears and I am not usually that into metal. This is the best modern rendition of Night on Bald Mountain in my opinion. Thank you.

That execution of the borrowed minor iv cadence at the end was sublime. Beautiful

I always wanted to hear this as metal. Even started doing it myself, but now I don't have to, cause this is just perfect. Thanks for saving me the time, ha.

Just amazing

Loving this one !

Thank you for being so faithful to the spirit of the piece. Listening to this took my breath away.

Awesome! Congrats!

Night On Bald Mountain is one of my favourite pieces of music. Your arrangement and performance are absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to what you come up with next.

This is mind blowing! Amazing.

Brilliant redux! Excellent work.

Thank you for making this.

This is exactly what I was wanting to hear. Thank you so much, it's perfect!

I just found your channel and I'm losing my fucking mind over here, these covers are INCREDIBLE. So true to the original piece, too!

I did enjoy so much this cover. Congratulations Joe!

Spectacular job on an already awesome song!

My Jaw + the floor. Instant frigging sub. Keep going man.

Masterful. And that sweet ending. You are a true artist. Bravo!

Super underrated cover. Awesome work man!

Just what i was hoping it might sound ,well done dude.

holy shit i love the original but after listening to this i feel like the song fits a million times better as a metal cover xD this was so sick!

Dude, this is awesome

Amazing, sir.

Jeez! INSANE skills!

So pity to see only 30k views... I shared your video twice tho! Love it!!!

Hats off to you, sir. This is a masterpiece! (playing on repeat)

Awesome!

wow, what a talent! This is just phenomenal .

I first discovered this video at the beginning of the lockdown nine months and a lifetime ago. i 've listened to it once or twice a week since and it still gives me chills. thank you, JPJ

This is awesome man.

Очень круто! Честь и хвала тебе!

Holy shit this is so amazing it literally brought tears to my eyes.

One of my fav pieces of music. You have done it justice...Thanks!

Incredible talent, transposing it, playing it, producing it. Amazing 👏

Dude, I have no words to try to say something about this version. More than amazing, more than brilliant. More than wonderful.

Wonderful interpretation. 😀😀

Wow, I found you page after searching to see if anyone made a metal cover of Danse Macabre, which is one of my favorite musical pieces of all time (and your metal cover of that is absolutely awesome!). Then I clicked the link to see what else you had on your page, and featured on the page was this, another of my favorite pieces, also done extraordinarily well! Thanks so much for posting these; they are a real pleasure to listen to!

I was wondering how the heck you'd do the end but it was so clean and well done, fantastic

Dude omg this is so metal. i love it

you're my favourite 'type' of musician, appreciating all different walks and styles and recognising the parallels. I applaud you, sir.

Hearing this has made my day. Extra points for the accoustic 'Ave Maria' at the end!

dude, this is fantastic.

No words, so perfect and epic!

Dude! This is awesome 😎 🤘

Sick! that ending could have fit perfectly into Marty Friedman's Scenes album.

Extraordinarios!

Whoa dude, just an amazing cover right here. I really like to see this type of videos and i'm looking foward for what's coming next. I would love to see In the Hall of the Mountain King, from Edvard Grieg, but anything would work for me. Congrats!

Das ist wunderbar!

This is genius work

Damn that's a hell of a commitment of time, energy and skill to make this. If I wore a hat, it would be off to you, sir.

Gotta love that acoustic ending.

This is, by far, my favorite rendition of this masterpiece.

I came here simply looking for how to play Night on Bald Mountain on guitar, but I got so much more. Thank you for giving us a well arranged and well performed piece of music.

I always thought the first metal piece ever was night on bald mountain and then I found this video! This is purely amazing! No frills, no crazy added bad taste personal touch. Mussorgsky at his purest, but yet in metal. You made my day and I thank you for that. Also it must have been an incredible hard work. I wish this could get more airplay or even some listening time one music school

Friggin' amazing....

Amazing!

OH MY GOD this is my favorite thing on this planet and has given me reason to stay alive

Perfect piece of a great song,thats the best version on guitar Ive heard mate and also the other ones.Modest Muzorsky is happy in his graveyard!Joe you did a hell of a good job!

Pretty damn awesome. Reminds me so much of Between The Buried And Me!

I completely loved it, classical music + metal = the best thing ever created

This is the greatest thing I've ever heard

I have a similar Jackson, PRS, 2i2 Studio, and Ikea bookshelf. Yet you put them to such better use. Wunderbar!

This live with full band loads of guitars, in a church by candlelight I will buy tickets!!!!

Great job dude. I've played the original piece with my band on the trombone and it sounded awesome, but you have taken it to the next level.

The ending is sublime brilliance. It's actually equally as good in its own right as the original, which is an amazing feat.

Another masterpiece properly treated by a metalhead. thanks.

Epic! Teeth clenching good! Most righteous.

When I first heard Night on Bald Mountain I said to myself: this totally fits in the metal genre. And here we are haha. This is just great! The world needed this.

I LOVE THIS! LOOOOOVEEEE THIS!!!!!!!!!

Your work is great man! We make very similar content but you really go the big classical works in their entirety and it's incredibly impressive. I commend your work!

amazing !!!!

This is fucking wicked! I love it.

Nice job!

ya awesome performance.....

HE IS GENIUS

Just watched the metal rendition of holsts Jupiter ! This is just as impressive! I love classical music but this kicks ass!
