@@JoeParrish Ok, so it took some time, and this was the best I could manage with my skills, but I've completed the video and credited you. ruclips.net/video/YjhdCFrDf68/видео.html&lc=UgxOh3p3OYm8S4cJFSV4AaABAg Thank you so much for allowing me the use of your cover, it's an amazing song and really compliments Holst's original, even surpassing it at times. Keep up your great work covering these classic songs!
I'll be honest. I've been a classical musician and a metalhead for most of my life. I came in here kind of ready to be super judgmental in defense of Holst and metal renditions. No defense needed. Especially after hearing the ballad-style interpretation of my favorite movement. Stay metal! \m/
I have always loved Holst's Planets Suite, and I am amazed at your rendition - done with such obvious love and respect for the original/normal treatment. The balance of the various tracks was perfect - bloody well done. Dick Preston
Also, what I really love about your arrangements is that you never water down. Every note I hear in the original, you just perfectly recreate in your versions. The thing is I've watched so many covers of classical music so far that I always expect some missing notes, wrong harmonies etc... but not yours. You never disappoint, because I can see that you actually took (a hell of) time to study the score... Respect.
Thank you, that is always my aim when doing these arrangements and I do immerse myself in the details of the score, so I'm pleased it doesn't go unnoticed
I immediately realized this as well! I do some arrangements myself (though I don't publish them) and I also always try to pick up the original harmonies, catch all the (important) notes etc. which often is really difficult. So I do have a lot of respect for you to manage this in such a way!
Very, very good indeed. Your attention to detail is very impressive. Whilst others are suggesting different compositions, I would love to hear a continuation of the Planets Suite. Not only do you play them extraordinarily well (speaking as a guitarist of many years and quite envious!), but it would make an awesome album. However, appreciate that it would take a lot of time and effort. Congrats on one of the best 'projects' on RUclips - and I have seen a huge quantity of them. Excellent job!
Most progressive rock is influenced by Jupiter: and Yes used part of it in The Prophet (on Time And A Word). One of the best short classical pieces ever.
As requested by several of you, here is another one of the Planets. All of my classical tracks can now be purchased on bandcamp following the links in the description. The cool bastard in the sunglasses is my good friend Mike, who is himself a stellar drummer. You can visit his channel here - ruclips.net/user/Mikeycianciorocks Thank you, and enjoy!
Finally, you are back. Not going to write a huge comment, as I would just like to thank you for your music, I started because of Metallica and continued because of you.
Incredible cover - this shows such a deep understanding and respect for the source material. I've often though of Mars as an early example of proto-metal in classical music, but you've demonstrated that even the lighter and happier movements from 'Planets' are also displaying musical choices which have later been adopted by more extreme genres. Again, I fucking love this cover, well done dude
Jupiter us a melody that means too much for me for many reasons, one of them because it was the melody I listened to when I witnessed a total ecipse which was one of the most amazing moments in my life... and this metal cover really ROCKS!!!!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!
Dude you should finish covering the planets! which might be odd to do for Neptune and Saturn, but that's just my suggestion cause then you'd have the full suite! I've really been liking the stuff of yours I've been listening to as well, very cool.
Holy mother of God. This may be one of the best things I have ever heard. Jupiter has always been my favourite piece of music, but the precision, epicness, and grandiosity you have captured in this, and the work that has gone into making every second perfect, is beyond words. So much love, bro.
This arrangement is fantastic. The number of genres you jump through is just perfect. Keeps it varied and serves the original composition so well. Nice work!
I just want to chime in that this absolutely KILLS. I was listening to Isao Tomita's "Planets," got to Jupiter and immediately came back here. Phenomenal work.
You are unbelievably talented! Your Mars rendition is exactly what I was hoping to find when I searched for a metal cover of the piece, and Jupiter gave me chills from the first note
Omfg... Literally just made my night..... You are so talented.... And you know people don't appreciate classical.... But omfg biting my lip.... Fucking amazing!!
Having listened to Isao Tomita’s rendition of Jupiter for many many years, I would say you have given this just as much compassion and effort as he did. Well done!
Just perfect! couldn't say any more word! This piece of classical music is one of my most favorite, but never heard it with guitar. God bless you, Joe. You're a phenomenon.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I didn't know the ballad part was from this music, but, i don't know how, i already listened to it. What a GREAT surprise, fantastic!
I got so many goosebumps, especially at 3:00. I'm imagining a peaceful setting of a sunset in the deserts of Arizona or something, and I'm loving it sooo much
Thanks for making an arrangement that’s so true to the original! I think a lot of people would just play the slow part in the middle cause it’s cool but you really did the whole song justice!
I fell in love with the planets and I also love metal. This is an amazing recreation of the movement from the suite and I’ve finally found it after searching for at least a year. Amazing job man.
Awesome arrangement of a beautiful piece of music! I played this in an orchestra last year, it's cool listening to your arrangement and remembering how fun it was to play! Now to listen to your mars chart!
I'm really really impressed. So amazing... Your play told me that you do not just play the melody or notes, but you studied this music deeply and know the thing which Gustav Holst wanted to express.
This actually gave me chills. I absolutely adore the energy change in the slower section, covers which are metal for the sake of being metal often ruin classical pieces but you have done an outstanding job here.
Thank you for this. It's rare that i feel like i can experience a piece of music that I'm so familiar with for the first time again. You did this for me.
Been thinking for YEARS how amazing a rock / metal version of this incredible song would be. (discovered I needed to add "electric guitar" to the search). Thanks for bringing it to electric life! Bravo JP!!
this is so well done!!!! I've heard SO many versions (classical) of this song and you mirrored my favorite one, by the Chicago Philharmonic, which is just so neat. I love this.
Brilliant - surprisingly effective, and shows this great orchestration inventiveness in a completely fresh light that really works. The only thing that would make me happier is a live drummer rather than samples.
Loving listening to this through nice headphones, great recording and mixing job, reminds me of " ... and justice for all" mixed with Kansas guitar sound.
What a lovingly and expertly made rendition. The ACME of musical skill. I mean for the love of God, you even beautifully translate every mood from its original orchestral into a totally appropriate guitar style, with special attention paid to matching the sound quality of all the different parts and instruments. Endlessly relistenable.
Huh, I just decided to review "Bringer of War" and here' this new piece waiting for me from just a couple of days ago! Nice! EDIT: Phew, both hands get a real workout for this one, yes?
I love the drum work and how well it works with the music especially since it's a rendition of classical, it manages to capture that feel while still keeping it faithful to the original, I'm not even a drummer, tho i do play percussion but yeah, great job on figuring out the drums on these pieces!

Metal with a rock ballad in the middle. This is so cool.
So basically Master of Puppets
Or Yes.
Nothing short of heroic. I want this played at my funeral.
You and me both, hot damn.
I was just thinking the same thing
9 downvoters who know no jollity, even when it's brought to them.
😂
I see what you did there....😂
Hell yeah boy do your thang bitch 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I have always loved Holst's Planets Suite, and I am amazed at your rendition - done with such obvious love and respect for the original/normal treatment. The balance of the various tracks was perfect - bloody well done. Dick Preston
Thank you very much Dick, I'm glad it came across that way
I've never really liked Heavy metal covers of things much less of classical music. I heard your Mars and Jupiter back to back. I'm happy this exists.
Heavy Metal comes from classical music. I always direct people to Vivaldi the four seasons (winter in particular). It's a good example.
When the melody takes off at 4:20, man it literally generates LIFT. Again dude, way to make it absolutely soar.
Gustav Holst was a genius. 70 years ahead of his time. Masterpiece.
Also, what I really love about your arrangements is that you never water down. Every note I hear in the original, you just perfectly recreate in your versions. The thing is I've watched so many covers of classical music so far that I always expect some missing notes, wrong harmonies etc... but not yours.

Thing is I don't think Venus or Neptune would work anywhere near as well in the metal genre
but saturn would!
@@NickHoad yepppp preach boy
😄😄😄
Amazing. Sounds like a mixture of Queen and Yes.
I was really thinking Yes. I also hear some Dream Theater.
With touches of King Crimson here and there...
And Gustav holst
@@jwaj 😂😂
Most progressive rock is influenced by Jupiter: and Yes used part of it in The Prophet (on Time And A Word).
One of the best short classical pieces ever.
I LOVE the changes in guitar to adjust the tone as the song goes along. Phenomenal cover 🔥🔥
4:22 That tone is amazing. Sounds like Hammet's "And Justice for All" tone

Absolutely brilliant. Same goes for Mars; perhaps Venus next? Would love to hear your interpretation of the entire suite for that matter.
Incredible cover - this shows such a deep understanding and respect for the source material.

WOW! Holst, himself, would be banging his head to this amazing rendition. Superb mastery.
The best thing on RUclips! Genius. Love it. I wish Holst himself could hear it. He would love it too.
Dude you should finish covering the planets! which might be odd to do for Neptune and Saturn, but that's just my suggestion cause then you'd have the full suite! I've really been liking the stuff of yours I've been listening to as well, very cool.
I lost my jaw.

Incredible. Huge props for recreating the texture and dynamics of the original while giving it a whole new character. This is special.
This arrangement is fantastic. The number of genres you jump through is just perfect. Keeps it varied and serves the original composition so well. Nice work!
Great interpretation. The sheer musicality of this should bring new fans to Parrish and Holst. Bravo !

This is one the finest displays of musicianship I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Simply spectacular, Gustav would love it 🥲👍
Having listened to Isao Tomita’s rendition of Jupiter for many many years, I would say you have given this just as much compassion and effort as he did. Well done!
It's a travesty this only has 34k views, it's an absolutely phenomenal adaption and played flawlessly! Much respect.
I didn't know I needed this in my life, but I'm glad it is
This is one of my favorite covers of all time
holy shit joe, you're awesome, your rendition of mars was spot on and this is just as great!
Just perfect! couldn't say any more word! This piece of classical music is one of my most favorite, but never heard it with guitar. God bless you, Joe. You're a phenomenon.
That’s brilliantly done. You’ve nailed the character of the orchestral instrumentation really well. Fantastic!
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I didn't know the ballad part was from this music, but, i don't know how, i already listened to it. What a GREAT surprise, fantastic!
I got so many goosebumps, especially at 3:00. I'm imagining a peaceful setting of a sunset in the deserts of Arizona or something, and I'm loving it sooo much
that section is called thaxted
Thanks for making an arrangement that’s so true to the original! I think a lot of people would just play the slow part in the middle cause it’s cool but you really did the whole song justice!
I've been waiting for this for so long
Edit: Have you thought of putting your stuff on Spotify? I'd love to put your songs in my playlist

Well, this was a totally unexpected and delightful find! Subbed!
This actually gave me chills. I absolutely adore the energy change in the slower section, covers which are metal for the sake of being metal often ruin classical pieces but you have done an outstanding job here.
I love how we end up at ska at 1:01
I thought that exact same thing on the first listen!
I keep coming back to listen to this
DAMN SICK!!!!!!!
Absolutely wicked! What a lovely interpretation this is.
My God that is what I needed. This is beautiful. You really did pay homage to Holst
I was waiting so long for thisss
Excellent! nice work, Joe. And a great way to inspire young musicians who are not familiar with this great piece to discover it
Oh hell yeah 4:22
Very nice, I didn't know that it could be played without the traditional instruments.
Hey, could you try Piano Sonata no. 7 III. Precipitato by Prokofiev? I'd love to see you do it!
Wow! I performed this piece back in 1986. Brings back memories. Incredible.
Man!! What a great cover!!! Imagine how it would sound with some lyrics!!
Awesome cover!! It got me the chills at the end!
People are freaking out about that one lobster song but THIS!!! THIS!!!! IT'S WOW!
Listening to this again, the end section sounds like a news channel theme
Great stuff! It's a mystery how you don't have more views
Holy shit, this was absolutely beautiful in every level, I’ve been loving this piece since I played it with the local orchestra of my city ❤️
Epic! Incredible effort. I'd love to see this played live with a full band.
please complete the entire Symphony of Planets, you are great at this
Thank you for this. It's rare that i feel like i can experience a piece of music that I'm so familiar with for the first time again. You did this for me.
From 7 minutes on- definitely the best hair-raising part.That was super intricate and intense!
Been thinking for YEARS how amazing a rock / metal version of this incredible song would be. (discovered I needed to add "electric guitar" to the search). Thanks for bringing it to electric life! Bravo JP!!
At 3:01 I got teary-eyed. This is beautiful.

Actually fixating on music is super fun this is so fucking cool. Never would’ve found this otherwise

This is absolutely amazing. Incredible work.
Amazing, to say the least! (This deserves to be viral.)
My favourite movement from The Planets
Fucking amazing, dude.
People like you need to be remembered always.
Holst himself would ask you for an autograpg.
Big fan of your work.
This is so ridiculously good!!! The arrangement and the combination of guitar tones are so perfect! Well done!
Wow I never knew I needed a metal version of jupiter😂

OH MY GOD! Best thing I’ve heard in a very long time. Liked & subscribed
The most epic cover!!!! Amazing 🤩
Great work. Excellent. Congratulations.
Dude this was awesome - great job!!! 👏
This is insane, super great work
I never comment on RUclips, but I needed to for this. That was incredible.
Sounds like a song that would be used in an anime or Nintendo video game. I love it!
Some parts sounds like something that could of been made today. Truly amazing.
Getting a really YES vibe on this one. Keep em coming bro
3:00
Oh, that's real nice.
Great playing and arrangement!
This sounds like a whole new song. Did such good on this
You are a god, me and the lads been loving the mars cover, this is great thanks for the hard work!
