Spoiled by the totally unnecessary rhythm backing.
I also get annoyed by the way so much perfectly good jazz piano music is spoiled by a rubbishy drummer and double bass.....

True, but that wasn't beethoven's doing. The man was THE MAN.

Don't know what kind of reaction you're going to get.. I expect not many people here appreciate metal music, but I thought that was great. I almost expected this guy to be a member of TSO, but it appears that's not the case. Thanks for the link.

When someone uses music previously composed as the basis for an arrangement it has nothing to do with the first composition being ahead of its time.

But the thing is.. this mvt. of the Moonlight sonata seems to fit that style of guitar playing. You couldn't do that with Mozart or Chopin.

You could certainly do similar things with less visionary composers. To really see that Beethoven was ahead of his time, compare certain parts of the Grosse Fugue to certain parts of the Bartok string quartets.... -J

Where do I start? So many ways to go with this. Not everyone will or has the ability to compare counterpunctal elements of one composer to another, but we do all have the ability to hear the music (assuming no hearing impediment). Play the video to anyone who has no knowledge of classical music and no way will they ever guess. It's just as relevant today on electric guitar was it was in 1801 on piano. If fact probably more so given the type of instrument he had at his disposal.

I thought it was neat.
Btw, someone said something about not being able to do this with Chopin, but I've heard Fantasie Impromptu on electric guitar, like this.

It is not hatred. We just prefer the original version (and the same goes with the Moonlight video).

Beethoven was certainly ahead of his time, that goes without saying. This dude with the guitar is behind his time probably!  And not to mention Page... brrr...
