Is Death's Chuck Schuldiner The Best Death METAL Guitarist?

Is Death's Chuck Schuldiner The Best Death METAL Guitarist? I believe Chuck was a very unique talent. He pioneered a new genre of music, wrote deep lyrics about religion and philosophical topics, as well as vicious guitar technique. I think he was the total package. Sadly Chuck died of brain cancer at age 34 in 2001. In oder to showcase his amazing songwriting ability, we'll be watching a live performance of Crystal Mountain, recorded in Germany in 1998. The track is fire. Get on Chuck's level by taking my music theory course below muhahaha!

Chuck is among the greatest guitarists. He pioneered a genre, dismantled it, and reconstructed it. An artist in every sense of the word.

Chuck was TRULY a ONE OF A ahead of his time...

[radink]

The fact that he could do all that and sing is beyond me.

The first time I saw Death they played in a storage unit, before they had any following. They were a local band here in Altamonte Springs, FL. I didn't realize the greatness I was witnessing at the time. Miss those days.

Chuck is the Mozart of Metal. Sadly he passed away so young. BTW: Eindhoven is in the Netherlands. ;)

I named my first son "chuck" because of him.
I do believe he is and was a pioneer of the death style playing. He did predict the future in many ways, 1000 eyes was a good example. Thank you for carrying on his legacy

[chiefmegadeth]

Death have come up to enter my top 5 bands of all time list.
Im obsessed with Death right now! Ive been listening none stop to them for the last few weeks.

The whole Eindhoven set by Death was a masterclass in metal musicianship, he was such a humble and sincere guy for all his genius too.

[Ayoud]

I must mention that Eindhoven is a city in the Netherlands my dear Shred, and yes he is the God.
I think I have seen an interview where Chuck says that he had a neighbours who always bothered him while practicing in his basement or what ever. they were the evil he meant, but not totally sure about it.
peace

Nobody compares to Chuck. What a visionary.

[ramifications]

Hey Shred, have you ever done a video on your musical background? You're so knowledgeable so I'm kinda curious on where your came from and how you learned what you know?

[stevendunn]

His riffs and solos are so tasteful even the lyrics and composition. Wonderful person and musician

[awguitarroom]

Chuck, Dime, Alexi. The three metal gods

[CatherineLee]

I love that live show! I watch/listen to it a lot on YouTube!

[dyslo]

Chuck and James Murphy on spiritual healing imo was some great guitar work.

[ministry__of__truth]

Yes he was and he is. I wasn’t newb in music culture and was familiar with guitar music and some metal genres but when one guy from college gave me a cassette with Symbolic album and I listened it for a first time…I’ve got a culture shock, that tape changed my world so much. I still remember all riffs from this album.

And two years later one friend opened to me a Cynic band with their In Focus album, where i found something completely new and interesting in track named Textures. Listening it again and again I found it to be a secret door to the world of fusion metal music. And it was so hard to find any tapes in our country at those days, as soon as worldwide web was expensive, very slow and just unexplored yet.

“Flesh and the power it holds” also the greatest one of Death, you should check it

[judowrestlerka]

I always loved how he went from straight forward shot and the breakdown in 11 and 13, 9 and 7.

Master.
