hes actually hilarious whereas theres no doubt hes purrfect in his skill, theres not a single % of stereotype in his ways, just pure love for music, so sexy this dude
He's got an interesting rhythm style, what with tremolo picking entire chords and sliding them around all over the neck so quickly. it sounds quite chaotic in a way that lends itself well to black metal. I personally don't care for it, but kudos to him anyway for being original.
What else can I add to what we know already about this guy? I like his playing style, so chaotic but tight at the same time, very sharp and cutting through. Besides being funny as hell and self-aware, not trying to look "evil" or pretentious like e.g. Gaahl... Abbath is a true entertainer, Immortal is a top band.
I lol`d for 5 minutes at that :D This guy knows his shit and has tons of humour. Kind`of like what metal players should be ... Abbath is a God, no doubt about that.
@deicidalmaniac Yeah but the Wacken dvd was from Wacken 2007 performance while he was still using this one he has in the video. On wacken 2010 he used LTD V-401DX
I fucking love Abbath. He would be so entertaining to hang out and jam with. I would love to have him over for dinner. lol. i can hear his accent." Let me carve the motherfucking turkey."
Best thing about Abbath, he's like Randy Rhoads, very modest. Pokes fun of himself, Ace Frehley was like that too in interviews. Pretty cool when they don't take theirselves seriously, who wants to see some joker bragging about how great he is?? Met Nile at a signing, Karl believes he is God, we felt like he considered us shit under his shoes. Pissed him off to sign his own cd. He forgot who is buttering his bread (as my Grandma would say, ha)
ok, Immortal has been around for a long ass time...they made it big and are still going strong. A lot of people consider these guys the Fathers of Black Metal (I know they aren't but they revolutionised it) You've been playing for 27 years and you have nothing to show but your word. Abbath has millions of albums sold and hundreds of concerts and you're the only ass who says he sucks...hmmm don't like those odds, eh?
huh, It was reply to tobuh, not to metalhead haha.Abbath is a cool guy, and also very funny.I think its cool that he doesn't take his "job" too serious.
Yeah i see what you are saying, but even in the simplicity of the sound there is complexity because that simplicity that metal may use requires knowledge of modes, patterns, intervals, systems, formats and keys. And many of those emo kids barely know the pentatonic scale.
the most black metal artists at least play almost all instruments are they are self-taught so they don't know quite well notes and stuff.. personally i don't care if someone is graduated musician from berkley or something.. i want to like what i listen and Immortal is a respected band..
its not about talent when it comes to black metal its about songwriting,atmosphere and the lyrics this isn;t technical death, this is black, and no matter how much skill you, you probably cant write a black metal song anywhere near as good as immortal can
1:38 in my life I've never heard such a nice sound come out of a guitar in my life recommended to use headphones \m/
He knows he isn't the greatest..that's what makes him great. no ego.
i love how he critisizes his own music at the end, and yet its still awesome, hes so badass
Abbath you rock!
Father of the black metal!
hes actually hilarious whereas theres no doubt hes purrfect in his skill, theres not a single % of stereotype in his ways, just pure love for music, so sexy this dude
"I'm balancing on something..you know.... I know how to read though!" He brings a smile to me everytime haha
This Guy dont try to be evil, and makes the fucken best BM ever...
his guitar tone is ORGASMIC
Abbath always remains modest with a sense of humor, like my fav guitarist Randy Rhoads.
he's soooo influental...great guy
"I KNOW HOW TO READ THOUGH"
He's got an interesting rhythm style, what with tremolo picking entire chords and sliding them around all over the neck so quickly. it sounds quite chaotic in a way that lends itself well to black metal. I personally don't care for it, but kudos to him anyway for being original.
I absofukinlutly love the older IMMORTAL albums..BLACK METAL LEGENDS
@Euph Oh my God... I love Immortal...
But you, sir, have just made my day! LOL
What else can I add to what we know already about this guy? I like his playing style, so chaotic but tight at the same time, very sharp and cutting through. Besides being funny as hell and self-aware, not trying to look "evil" or pretentious like e.g. Gaahl... Abbath is a true entertainer, Immortal is a top band.
I bet it is hard to teach this, his riffing is so organic.
He is so fucking good.
I lol`d for 5 minutes at that :D
This guy knows his shit and has tons of humour. Kind`of like what metal players should be ...
Abbath is a God, no doubt about that.
@deicidalmaniac Yeah but the Wacken dvd was from Wacken 2007 performance while he was still using this one he has in the video. On wacken 2010 he used LTD V-401DX
@deicidalmaniac He's now playing LTD V-401DX. You can see it on the pics from Wacken 2010.
"Very difficult to play slow" :D
@MrExplorer260 Its an LTD Dave Mustaine DV-8 Signature model
I fucking love Abbath. He would be so entertaining to hang out and jam with. I would love to have him over for dinner. lol. i can hear his accent." Let me carve the motherfucking turkey."
holy crap those riffs are insanly god like
Love to Abbath
i love this guy...
Take 2 is so sick.
Abbath Lord of the Frostbitten Kingdom
(also the king of jokes and humor:P )
@JwithDinky a lot of people do. the sh4 nails a pretty brutal sound with the right amp
@BIGTIMBERFILMS i totally agree seems like a great guy
@munruthel1 Yeah, it is cool, a bit too closed sometimes, but it's cool!
in fact... most of the time it sounds like ice... listen to battles in the north... sounds like a blizzard storm... or a snow storm...
the humor of Abbat is cool!!!
BATTLEEE IN THE NORTHHH GOOD SONG
o m g .... Hes a beast.. that all...
@jadedcrowd I think this is where Brendan Small got alot of his ideas for Metalocalypse :P
@97mitsakos Personally, I don't know the exact name but from what I've heard it's an LTD Dave Mustaine signature year 2005
@fairlystupidjello I think he would do the guitar exactly as the one he plays. he surely loves it or he would've bough another one
@97mitsakos ESP Ltd dv8-r customized... the painting and the floyd rose that the original has not ;)
2:25 He realy like play the guitar :D Cool man XD
@fairlystupidjello He should definitly make a deal with ESP to make his own signature guitar.
hahaha!!!
"I know how to read though"
Best line ever!
Best thing about Abbath, he's like Randy Rhoads, very modest.
Pokes fun of himself, Ace Frehley was like that too in interviews. Pretty cool when they don't take theirselves seriously, who wants to see some joker bragging about how great he is??

ok, Immortal has been around for a long ass time...they made it big and are still going strong. A lot of people consider these guys the Fathers of Black Metal (I know they aren't but they revolutionised it)
You've been playing for 27 years and you have nothing to show but your word. Abbath has millions of albums sold and hundreds of concerts and you're the only ass who says he sucks...hmmm don't like those odds, eh?

A lot of comments here but I have one small question: what kind of amp he used on this session? Really nice black metal sound!
IIRC he used to run with a ENGL Powerball back then
huh, It was reply to tobuh, not to metalhead haha.Abbath is a cool guy, and also very funny.I think its cool that he doesn't take his "job" too serious.
Abbath is coolest black metal Tyrant
As anyone have the guitar pro tab for battle ?
I'll do a cover of Immortal, hehe.
lets slow it down /plays same speed just add the same fret for longer xD love it
I agree
He has a Yngwe Malmsteen persona but he is Happier!
just look his face,he is so true !!!
what has drinking to do with him being a "metal god"
"is like *ffff*" now I understand it all
What's his guitar tuned to for this song?
Yeah i see what you are saying, but even in the simplicity of the sound there is complexity because that simplicity that metal may use requires knowledge of modes, patterns, intervals, systems, formats and keys.

ok that shall be difficult.Mustis real name is Øyvind Mustaparta.
how's that??? :P
why does he always wear sunglasses??...anyway he's a great guitarist and vocalist! he is giving me inspiration to play guitar :)
Too much snow
its not about talent when it comes to black metal
its about songwriting,atmosphere and the lyrics
this isn;t technical death, this is black, and no matter how much skill you, you probably cant write a black metal song anywhere near as good as immortal can
I don't feel that bad about my playing now!!
