Best thing that ever happened to Obituary

[Angelstealth]

Best Death Metal guitar player ever; Death, Obituary, Cancer, Disincarnate…everything he composed is PURE GOLD and pure feeling

[DM-pzhg]

Murphy made Spiritual Healing my favorite Death album and Cause of Death my favorite Obituary album. Such an amazing talent.

[fernandom]

If you had this guy in your band you automatically had a solo / lead machine he’s an underrated legend for sure

I was fortunate enough to be able to take lessons from James back in 1988. He was a fantastic teacher. Very patient but would call you out when he knew you were being lazy and slacking. I was stuck in a rut and he was able to unlock the door that led to my progress and understanding of the guitar just being unleashed. I couldn't take lessons from him for as long as I wanted, (as a youth got into some legal trouble) but during that time I did, I learned a ton. He can literally play anything from most beautiful passage you've ever heard to the most brutal. He would play new ideas that he had during our sessions and I am so happy that I got to listen to some of that stuff way back when. When he joined Death I was over the moon. James is solid as a person and as a player.

[reborndeathrash]

he got that Rick Rozz kind of touch on the floyd rose and that chuck attitude on solos + more fantasy

[eamonahern]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Cause Of Death is my favourite Obituary album. That opening solo in the title track still gives me goosebumps.

[fmbighair]

Cmon guys, the unsung hero of this unsung hero isn’t even on here? The Low album by Testament!

[eon]

Big reason why cause of death is their best album. Spiritual healing is my second favourite death album too

[bigalbigs]

December 1990 Brooklyn NY I was front in center to see the mighty Obituary along with James killing it I'm so glad I was there I remember it like it was yesterday one on my favorite shows of all time in my top 5 and I have seen plenty of shows and concerts goring back from 88 so its a great memory

[zacharyseibert]

Such a tasty player. James is the reason Cause Of Death is such a classick.🔥

[paulfincham]

Murphy is a fucking legend, easily top five all time, and nobody knows about him, I wish he had stayed in the band.
the opening for cause of death is the baddest solo ever, can't nobody touch that

[Inhumanmicah]

At 4:07 cause of death solo from My top guitarist. Very emotional sound.

[hayloss]

James Murphy solos just hit differently

[bledboost]

4:07 easily the best solo on Cause of Death and James totally nails it!

[EricRPinzonOfficial]

@james murphy a huge influence to a lot of extreme metal guitar included! simply genius

[paskapaavo]

So underrated. One of my favorite guitarists. I like also his work with Death and Cancer. He also played live with Agent Steel.

[humptydumpty]

This Guy is great talent ... Brutality and melody in solos... Best on the planet, sweepings 👌💪🔥

[Palestina.non.grata]

Thanks to hearing Body Bag back in 2015, I immediately ordered a copy of Cause of Death. Remains my favourite Obituary album and nothing can top it. James's solos always had such beautiful melody, those legato runs, his dive squeals and his bar and finger vibrato were unbeatable.
