the "[famous guitarist] shreds" videos on YouTube

i can't do a proper search for these clips anymore - not since some dude developed a hairbrain scheme to imitate the original idea, but in a way that's not funny at all. and he's done a whole bunch of them, somehow missing the point that the guitar overdubs are meant to sound amateurish. take it easy on the legit, rehearsed pentatonics, bro!

that Steve Vai one is priceless. He HAD to be one of the dudes that complained. It makes him look like such an ass.

It was Malmsteen who complained no? He's a total fuckwit anyway

Some tonight (Conan?) show actually had StSanders and Slash playing together, so I doubt it was him.

They said 3 guitarists complained and mentioned he thought Vai and Malmsteen were two of them.

#3: Gotta be Eddie VH

'that one of prince at the rock n' roll hall of fame would be great is fucking brilliant too.'

Creed one was perfect

A+

Also, so glad to see that godfather of the "_______ shreds" concept St Sanders has a site to host all of his own creations now after being banned from youtube.

I'M LAUGHING AND MY CHEST HURTS

cricket cricket, cricket cricket

what's with the weird subtitles I've been seeing on youtube?

lol "new hair"

Slipknot Shreds is by far the best one I've seen:

rocking out Slipknot have got a pretty good skronk going on.

maaaaaaaaaaaaajor lols for the Creed one.

this isn't a shreds video but it's always worth posting

There's some collective of guys (forget their "band" name) that's done 100+ of these sorts of full-band play-along "shreds". Some of them are awful or stiff, but a few (Journey's "Any Way You Want It"; Human League's "Keep Feeling Fascination"; Danzig's "Mother"!!!) are beyond great.

My bad if they've been posted already.

creed one = serious roflz

Oh my god LOL @ Creed--why do I have to be at work right now?

Fuck I made it about 30 seconds into Slipknot before realizing I was going to lose my shit.

haha, only on the third viewing of the Danzig / Shakira thing did I notice the wolf singing along at 0:22.

wait, not that one this one:

lol!

This has made my day!!!!
Thanks

the big argument upthread is lol

the music itself is komedy but more than half the joke is refocusing attention on the visuals

This is one of my favorites ever. Same concept, but with vocals instead of instrumentation.

URINAL BITCHIE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg_z9v-4KuQ

When Angus Young's lightbulb head drums the floor.
Pissing

But the Steve Vai one wins

Thank fuck for Sanders

This one takes a couple of minutes for the big pay-off, but shit me it's worth the wait

these always remind me of US maple a little bit

sounds like TFUL282

I really hope someone shows this to Mick Jagger.

Unless he'd make them pull it, but I'd like to think he's cooler than that.

love that video. so great.

that is glorious, right down to the little burst of whistling as it fades.

pure ungodly fucking genius

[whining]

"charlie, help!"

I watch the Rolling Stones shredding video daily at this point. StSanders continues to churn out brilliance.

This non-StSanders Slipknot shreds video makes me laugh too:
