Sh*t-Hot YouTube Demon Guitar Players

[Dexter]

Don't know if links to these have already been posted here, but Sunday's New York Times featured an article about two young players and their revved-up renditions of Pachelbel’s Canon.

Click and enjoy!

"Better than Santana and right up there with Hendrix if not better!"

Obviously.

 

[andy m]

i find that technical ability is really the last thing i look for in music.

 

[matthewr]

As rock gods go they are pretty crap. Everyone knows that when playing your best cock rock show off pieces you should put your foot on the edge of the bed and pretend it's the stage monitor.

 

[vuk]

mr. funtwo has the superior musical understanding of this piece.

vuk.

 

[kasperhauser]

jerryc lost me when he gestured at the camera (about 5 seconds in, before he played a note). I'm sure he's better than Yngwie Malmsteen, though.

funtwo lost me as soon as he illustrated he doesn't understand what a guitar is for (a few seconds past where jerryc lost me).

Give me Buddy Guy playing a single note (the right note, played the right way) any day.

Doods,

This is how it's done -- pick in mouth, hair flowing, no shirt.

Cobblers. This is how it's done:

Kit,

I bow to your superior knowledge of music I know nothing about.

Joe

P.S. Is this piece a modern-day Spinal Tap or is it a work of non-ferrous irony?

 

[Kit Taylor]

If you liked Vinnie Vincent Invasion you'll love Nitro!

Vinnie Vincent Invasion were a gen-u-wine 80s heavy metal band. Vinnie's the axe man. Apparently he was kicked out of Kiss for being a twunt. I like the chap who set's himself on fire when it all becomes too much to bear.

 

[Joe P]

Vuk,

Do NOT click on the link! I'm concerned that your gargoyle expression may become permanent.

These two geeetaar heroes need to stop masturbating and start to FREAKOUT!

Vinnie replaced Ace Frehley in Kiss and is very far up his own cocaine-fuelled bum, and not ironic at all. This is serious masturbating indeed.

 

[Dexter]

Well, I'm convinced. Anything less than 4 necks is just not on!

 

[Kit Taylor]

Does that guitar actually have a whammy bar at each end of the neck? :-o

 

[vuk]

now i understand why you need multiple arms on a turntable.

vuk.

 

[matthewr]

That 4 neck guitar is probably used to tempt schoolkids into spending the night at Chez Glitter.

 

[The Captain]

Thats a funny Youtube one. I think his guitar playing is really clever and fast. You can just hear his mum banging a broom on the ceiling downstairs. 'Gary, teas up!'

 

[Eric L]

That Nitro is brilliant. For those who, like me, cannot tear their eyes away from a train wreck, the full, glass-shattering horror of "Freight Train" is here:

Continuing the Spinal Tap theme, Nitro appears to have a fan page of sorts.

Some snippets:
"O.F.R. (Out F**king Rageous) is the incendiary Rampage debut of NITRO, featuring the fastest guitars, the highest screams, and the loudest drums ever recorded."

"We take it to the f**king extreme," says Gillette. "Yeah and it's not contrived," explains Angelo, "it's just the way we are."

"During Nitro concerts, Gillette shatters glass (imported crystal wine goblets) with a powerful, perfectly pitched scream. He has a six octave range, sings with 10 different voices on O.F.R., holds a 32 second scream, and sings a soprano high D which is devastating on equipment."

"After you hear O.F.R., fast doesn't seem fast and high doesn't seem high."


I think I have a new favorite hair metal band.

Anyone having watched Nitro will have to watch it at least 10 times.
