I don't see Matt Uelmen being overcome by anyone in gaming sound tracks in this century. All due respect to the guy playing in this video, but he's just up for an impossible task of fitting Matt Uelmen's shoes.
@@AcousticOlli Uematsu is definitely the GOAT. Others (David Wise, Koji Kondo, etc, honestly don't even come close even though they too are among best)
Matt Uelmen is the musician who tuned his guitar that way, who wrote those songs, who strummed those chords. This dude acts like he wrote the music for Diablo 1 & 2, what a d-bag. For them to drop Matt Uelmen from Diablo 3 soundtrack is idiotic, but makes sense, as it was the worst of the series.
Im really thankful that im watching this video today, witch i bought the game more then a year ago, plus the expansion now. It would be a torture to wait more then a year for the Diablo 3 lauching day, if a saw this video back than.
I also did not like the "country style" Tristram theme, but the way he tunes and plays the instrument gives interesting sound. He mentioned that he likes unusual harmonies and that chord at 07:40 is super awesome. You can't get it with the usual tuning I assume.
We all have to take from this that he's only demonstrating the various templates and sounds he used to make the actual new soundtrack. This only sucks because he's doing this thing completely to show his chops and have a little fun (his way) on the guitar. Me I'm glad this version didn't make it into the game lol. Butchered the dark ambient serenity and complexity of the original sounds made by the great Matt Uelmen.
MrYngwie69 Yes, he has 23 albums. His name is Laurence Juber. He was the lead guitar player in Paul McCartney's band Wings. Since then, he has won 2 Grammys for his acoustic guitar work.
What is the instrument he's talking about at 6:50? Hamadolsoma!!?? I have no idea what he is saying but I would really like to hear this instrument with a '..spooky character...' - Hopefully someone can help!
He still missed the whole point. I'm not a talented musician myself, but the pace of his interpretation is BY FAR too fast. No one on this planet will/does recognize this as part of a dark/medieval hack and slay game. Sounds good, but for a game of this type, completely misplaced.
@@tempitempster5418 I guess my friend that after years of performing since maybe even before 1999 people can get a burnout sometimes I know it happens to many amazing artists and after 23 years you can't expect for the quality to be the same of course in some cases it can be even better but I tend to like to stick to the originals myself as well. Nevertheless you're right thank you for your intelligent comment you are the only one that comes even close to being able to explain how you hear it and whether you hate it or like it criticism is always important :-)
His interpretation is neat, but it's overdone. Jonas Lefvert managed a much better, more dynamic, and true to the original interpretation of the theme in his classical guitar cover of the original Tristram theme.
Well forget what I said. I guess He kinda does interprete the original. Even though Im a big fan of his incredeble art and skill, this is a bad job. The original material has a lot more to offer. But - Its not really fair to say jonas lefvert managed a better interpretation, he just made an arrangement for his guitar, thats more like just playing the exact same piece. Of course that is better ;)
Only Pretending He didn't play the same piece, though. He changed it in a lot of very important ways to add depth and layering to the piece that wasn't there. Listen to them side by side and you'll see what I mean.
quiet correct. too many pretend rock 12 string delay delay delays. in the vain of selling cds. fuck that fat ham trying to sell the limited edition box. hes the reason the guitar guy came and spammed in our eyes.
The sould is cool, but the feeling is a bit wrong. While it keeps the "original" vibe, many parts are just too fast for the proper ambience that one would like for a dark-medieval-magical themed game. The guy definitely knows a lot, but I think he messed things up with the speed. For instance, in the original Tristram song, there's only one very specific moment when things go faster, but then it ends and it gives space for slower and more enjoyable single notes again. Good, but not good enough. IMHO. A slower "pace" would fit better. And yes, I'm not a musician, so anyone with a more knowledgable opinion on what I just said is welcome to add their two cents here.
I really agree with you, man. The original Tristram has so much power through it's slower dark, ambitious, creepy ambiance it cuts to the soul. I'm trying to learn it on the guitar so can can re feel it's impact but it's freaking hard.
I believe the game I've played the most in my life was Diablo 1. I was unaware at the time that there was a Diablo 2 - or I didn't mind because I was too poor to buy it. But I've thoroughly enjoyed D1 to Hell and back, literally. While Diablo 3 was really bad at its early launch stages, it got progressively better and has been thus transformed, imo, into a very good game. Can someone civilized enough voice their opinion on why D3 sucks so very bad?
Diablo 3 turned into a great game in the expansion. But still it does not feel like a diablo game to me. I feel like Indigo Gaming's video on the matter explains what im feeling pretty well. Go watch it! :) /watch?v=ME-0-i6-0No
As much as the expansion saved Diablo 3's gameplay and the 5th act went a better direction than the first 3, nothing will redeem its story or art design. And as solid as the gameplay is, all the horror is gone. It almost plays like a bullet hell at this point It isn't a bad game, it's very fun, but thematically and in where the gameplay focus went, it just simply doesn't feel, look, or sound like a Diablo game, hence it is a bad Diablo game, for me. Path of Exile is a better successor to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 was in that respect The feeling I got playing Diablo 1 for the first time as a kid when this whole form of gameplay was unfamiliar can be recreated for me by installing The Hell mod for D1, it's slow, methodical, with a palpable sense of danger and dread at every encounter. Almost like an isometric AARPG equivalent of Dark Souls in terms of how it felt to play. You truly did feel like a small human fighter in way out of your depth clinging to survival in a descent to hell. The walking mechanic for instance; what the walking did was make it so monsters walked as fast as you did, you had to plan your routes or you could find yourself cut off and trapped. Diablo 2 lost some of that and Diablo 3 barely has it at all short of some more extreme rifts in the endgame. To draw analogies to other games in terms of player empowerment, in Diablo 1 you feel like a vulnerable character in a horror title, while in Diablo 3 you feel like the Doomslayer out of the recent doom release. The gameplay is faster, tighter, more streamlined, you are given a ridiculous amount of power and the enemies scale to your character making progression often feel quite meaningless as you're staying on top of a ladder that simply grows with you. All of this kills the atmosphere which I loved so much in the original. And to be clear, it's not just the art design, it's the gameplay design that kills the horror just as effectively All of that is what was lost with Diablo 3 for me The upcoming horror game Agony has a more compelling depiction of a descent through hell for me, just give the character a weapon only just powerful enough to give them a fighting chance (That handle similarly to weapons in, say, Dark Messiah), place a few Diablo 1 monsters with similar behaviours in there and that's a first person interpretation of Diablo that I'll find more true to the series than Diablo 3 was.
Diablo 1 was a dead-serious game. It was truly scary, and meant to be scary. It was harsh and unrelenting, and punishing. Most important of all, it had a soul of itself, I know no other way to put it. Diablo 3 is a game, a toy, meant to have fun, even from the couch using a gaming console, meant to make you feel happy and cool and pwning. The game takes you by the hand, and drops unique tailored to your character. There is no way to fuck up, the game is forgiving. It points arrows to skills to level and people to talk to. It is the arcade-version of the girlfriend-friendly world of Warcraft. It is littered with cutscenes and dialogues, the game is glued together by chained quests. In diablo 1, you were on your own, out there, in a world that grew more evil with every stairs down. It's just a different approach to gaming. Games nowadays are aimed at a broad public and are meant to satisfy gamers needs to own and feel tough. Diablo 1 didn't make you feel tough, you were a poor loser, lost in hell.
soundtrack in the game wasn't bad but missed a huge kick (drums) your killing montsters at the speed of sound give me a soundtrack to compliment that, instead of a peacefull piece of music.
matt's a billion times better and cannot be improved. what the hell was this? it was awful. a decent display of skill but the music itself was unpleasant and just plain bad, not to mention an offense to the original.
Music was great. But the cartoonish feeling, the wow sound effects and game Sprites, and the lak of a skilltree to get different clases with the same char, and the extremely long levels on acts ( Oasis) ruined this game by far. The worst thing i can Think of is wow Sprites though, what in the actual fuck blizzard.

Mick Gordon I think took that spot with the Doom soundtracks
Well, maybe Gustavo Santaolalla.
Absolutely.

back when blizzard used to be good RIP blizzard north
12 string guitar with lowerd tuning. ahhhh thats the trick :D
7:20
Thank you random citizen
Godly....
Two words: Not Uelmen
still, skill
Yes ulemen
Jorah Mormont works at Blizzard?
LOL, 6 years later I was thinking that. It's Jorah Mormont!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 on the spot

Im glad Matt Uelmen is not in Diablo 3, the 1st two games were awesome, and deserved his music, this one doest, i just play PoE
PoE is everything that D3 had to be as a D2 sequel :'(
pillars or path ?
Path
Genius music! Just have the nostalgy and want to return playing d2 just because of its music!
The first time he strikes over the strings, you immediately hear "That's the Diablo guitar!"
stay awhile and listen !!
Im really thankful that im watching this video today, witch i bought the game more then a year ago, plus the expansion now. It would be a torture to wait more then a year for the Diablo 3 lauching day, if a saw this video back than.
Diablo music is a master piece is really one of the most amazing OST ever made and Bolivion!
Did i just hear diablo on guitar? wow.... i like this guy, this to me is a million dollar song
Awesome!!! I love this tuning!...
Amazing. Makes me wanna start playing a guitar again
did you did it?
Oh man, that music is so sick
The music worked so well with the theme of the game.
Amazing play! Just awesome! And sound of guitar is so beautifull...
12 string what a boss
for me - awesome
I stayed a while, and listened.
It sounds really great already ut when he really starts to "work" the guitar, it starts to sound really rough
its not Studio enhanced so it will sound rough... still really good :D
if only diablo 3 was as good as him playing guitar
really cool guitarplay
Damn... I wish i was half as good as this guy...
diablo has the best soundtrack
Not Uelmen but still one of the best musicians on the planet. Awesome improvisation.
Wont be seeing another one of these for awhile.....
When Blizzard did things that blow your mind.
kind of sounds like Opeth
I think that everytime i play the games
Ty, Very Much
That's a theme for Hardcore Diablo.
I also did not like the "country style" Tristram theme, but the way he tunes and plays the instrument gives interesting sound. He mentioned that he likes unusual harmonies and that chord at 07:40 is super awesome. You can't get it with the usual tuning I assume.
He says its CGDGAD at 6:29
the "country style" was just him improvising from the top of his head
Feels good man.
lol I was about to give up on the video, then I scrolled down and read your comment and I happened to be 5 seconds away from it!
Merci pour ça monsieur
FALLING IN LOVE....OVER....AND OVER....AND OVER AGAIN
Diablo II was the best one
amazing
Golden years ...
Why jorah mormont was at the blitzcon?
starts at 5:50
fascinating!
thank you daniel kong you saved us :D

12 String is awesome...
sory for the ignorence buy, is this video they are talking about d3 right? i want a interview of how they make sound and music in d2,
who is this guy, does he have an album
MrYngwie69 Yes, he has 23 albums. His name is Laurence Juber. He was the lead guitar player in Paul McCartney's band Wings. Since then, he has won 2 Grammys for his acoustic guitar work.
Its good.
You rock man !
What is the instrument he's talking about at 6:50? Hamadolsoma!!?? I have no idea what he is saying but I would really like to hear this instrument with a '..spooky character...' - Hopefully someone can help!
A 12 string guitar...
@@slobrat3556 are you sure? I'm pretty certain he is saying something completely different. The last instrument he mentions?
Hammered Dolcimer
super awesome
From 7:15 on is just amazing. This guys is super talented that music is just amazing.
I want this music in Diablo 4
this will be better ruclips.net/video/qXf2VjZz2qI/видео.html
Did you get your wish?
@@tassadar1977no
guys, plz. he has only one guitar :D no flutes, strings, trumpets, drums
Super , i love is it
Is there like... anywhere i can see matt play or buy shit... from him? >_> He is genius.
This is why blizzard will never create anything better than diablo 2
You should i support that kind of fun :D and games ofc :3
Holy crap that guy. He's an acoustic guitar god.

Dude did a great job. Felt like music from Sanctuary, sadly, Uelmen is still the bar.
MORE MORE !!!
From 7:20 so inspiring!!
El Diablo reflejado en una guitarra
Compare it with D4. Right. 4 has NOTHING to compare
Fucking Great!!!!
They should have got Andy La Rocque from King Diamond to do this, SMH. Listen to Black Horsemen if you don't believe me.
who is the artist
David Brevik :/
NO NO its Matt Uelmen im sorry
Laurence Juber
TheGecata196
no, it's not, Matt Uelmen would have made a better song
the soundtrack is only the best thing in diablo3
And its far below the masterclass of Diablo 2. It's not even comparable. It' was WoW'd.
I saw this as something you'll never be able to do.
Opeth?
His interpretation is neat, but it's overdone. Jonas Lefvert managed a much better, more dynamic, and true to the original interpretation of the theme in his classical guitar cover of the original Tristram theme.
