Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem Toki/Skwisgaar Guitar Duel

metalocalypse is a western anime about guitars tbh lmao

I've never understood how a guitar duel works, how do you know where to pickup from where the other stops a rhythm?

A testament to skill vs talent, but a very well fought duel.

I’m a true DethFan

Lol this kinda funny

The Thunderhorse vs The Sky Hunter.

I'm always surprised at how...scrawny Murderface is in the flashbacks

Not a clue what the hell is going on I just saw this and it looks goofy as hell. Can someone please tell me if this is just like a joke or a real show.

Skwisgar Skwigelf is taller than a tree.
But Toki Wartooth is definitely not a bumblebee.

Pretty sure we got 24 days until we see Toki actually surpass Swishgaar

Very common theme here with real world: two metal countries, Sweden and Norway, duking it out on awesome guitar, and the Americans just bewildered at the magic

Dude Brendon Small is a freaking metal God.

This is what me and my friends thought we looked like playing guitar hero together.

So many people miss the point by calling Toki the better natural guitarist. Skwisgaar never pushed himself till Toki showed up. Toki is the fire that needed to be lit under Skwisgaar so he could be better. Toki will never be better than him but the threat that he could be makes Skwisgaar the guitar god he is.

I love how people are saying toki never practices like he didnt practice every day of his life growing up.......

NUMBER 2 TIME!!! i missed dethklok

.

I seriously didn't expect such a beautiful piece of music to come out from this film

Dethklok's coming baaaaaaaaack!!! 😈🤘🤘🤘 Anyone else here because of the announcement?

Probably one of best show after Beavis and butthead

I only just noticed this but Toki's shadow is literally a hawk at the start of this scene!

I'm better than u All 🤘🐐☠️

I like to imagine how this played out in IRL since neither of their guitars are plugged in. Just string pings

Everyone says Toki and Swisgar are basically death and life.
So what about the other's? Mom and dad with the ugly stepchild?

Hello it's me Natan
- What Natan?
Natan Explosion

Aaahhh hahahahahahahaha

Love like Small dueling Small :D

Skwesgaar probably felt it was better to have him join the band rather then potentially join another band, and become incredibly stiff competition.

everyone like holy shit i lasted more than the others face

If you were ever in a band, this series hits soooooo hard with the reality. lol

Say what yall want about murderface, but you cant tell me that bass line from toki entrance isnt sexy.

they are not even plug in

I love how much attention they pat to the hands on the guitar

Skwisgaar Toki
-ceaseless study -innate natural talent
-discipline -gifted
-mastery -intuition
-countless hours of practice -virtual no practice

According to the show's creator, Toki had barely any experience with the guitar before this duel. He simply has a knack for playing.

“Technique should not come first. Sound should come first,”... “Technique is just there to serve [the music] — don't shoehorn it in.” - Guthrie Govan

interesting that gave Toki a dull tone and slightly out of tune guitar haha

NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCED BAYBEEEE LETS GOO

This video and movie always made me wonder why swissgar treated toki like shit (on the show) if toki could actually keep up with him.

When it cuts from a big laser battle to a gentle Victorian era scene gets me every time. lol

Toki’s childhood abuse and trauma makes this even more heartwarming and awesome at the same time.

As awesome as this is on the guitar, the truth is that Hoglan fucking MURDERED those drums in amazing ways to accent the whole thing, do incredible stuff, and STILL somehow be third-fiddle.

Everything about this battle sends my back into a cascade of glorious shivers like an icy ocean of awesomeness

for fuck's sake, even when Toki loses the tune and fails, he's STILL perfectly in time with his defeated strums.

psalms sweaty
