Ace Diamond's richer cousin?

Ugh...that's 4 minutes and 28 seconds of my life I can never get back...

[ashstralia]

Wtf?
This guy's serious??

[ashstralia]

I lasted 54 seconds or so. What's it for? Is it a legitimate demo from a deluded rich twat, or are they remaking 'spinal tap'?

[chefcraig]

Golly, that's almost as rewarding as hearing the shear chaos that ensues while walking into Guitar Center on a Saturday when all of the kids are out of school for the summer. Notice I said almost.

Other than all the effects, it sounds like a description of Yngwie Malmsteen.

Thanks Jimi. What'd we ever do to you?

Well I decided the clip was edited. Whether that's true or not is a shame. It should be obvious.

Which brings us to the age old question:

Why do really shitty guitar players have egos?

(no, not a joke, an observation)

Why do really shitty guitar players have egos?

Another interesting observation is some of the greatest guitar players were actually really shy people.

Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix without a guitar in their hands were quiet and shy.

AH, good point Nitro.
I bumped into Allan Holdsworth at a club in New Haven (brilliant show) and found what you said to be true.

I think a lot of these people didn't go out much and pretty much stayed home and played their instrument. Also, they aren't the best verbal communicators. These people would bore you to tears giving a speech behind a podium but get their instrument in their hands and that's a different story. I think most people want to get out more and frankly probably are influenced by others more. You aren't going to be unique trying to copy everyone else or following each trend that comes along. Most often brilliance is born in a lonely back room somewhere while everyone else is trying to outdo each other following this trend and that trend.

Heck. Even David Lee Roth seems to be a recluse when he isn't on stage.

[Hardrock69]

I met Allan as well once back in the 80s. Quiet. Nice guy. Reserved.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Toad's Place?

Yep.....

[jhale667]

I made it about a minute 30 in. What. The. Fuck.

Dunno, but all of my "hero" guitarists I've met over the years have been cool as shit. Speak softly and carry a big guitarstick?

[jhale667]

And to paraphrase Anthony Michael Hall in Weird Science - "Anybody who wears their guitar that high is asshole!" Dude has Guitarmpit ®©™, and he wasn't trying to play Jazz, FFS.

[vandeleur]

Speak softly and carry a big guitarstick:

Like it

[ashstralia]

Oh... The song (?) should be called 'cure for insomnia'.

[ELVIS]

I listened to the whole thing...

The the three random cymbal crashes around the three minute mark are pure genious...

[ELVIS]

Check out these youtube comments...

"Do you have Autism by any chance? Cause there's no way any normal human being would watch this back and decide to upload it for the world to see.
There is so much out of key vibrato and bum notes, you go out of time many times, WAY to much delay, SHIT tone, and your Count thing is just fucking hilarious lol.
And what's with the random cymbal hits?"

"Holy shit. Are you fucking retarded? If so, I apologize. I've never commented on a video before, but this struck me as so over the top stupid, I had to. What the fuck is wrong with you and don't you have any good friends or family to stop you from doing this kind of shit? I don't want to dwell on how aweful this sounds. That's obvious. I'm concerned about what's wrong with your brain, man!! It's 'cause of shit like this that aliens are going to kill us all. Sorry again if you're a real retard."

[ELVIS]

And this one is from "The Count" himself, AKA count7772...

"I LIKE when "somebody" doesn't LIKE me! I'm The Count and people get scared of me....and they should be!"

[ELVIS]

You asked for more ??

[clarathecarrot]

That was the best guitar player shreds comedy mashups EVER!!!

Whoever made this one times the awesome manipulations so well it is almost believable.

LO fucking L

...it's not a, shreds comedy ..?

I think I died a little ....

[ELVIS]

This is the best one...

[ELVIS]

Start this one at two minutes...

[ThrillsNSpills]

Well there's zero evidence that this was doctored.



Didn't Dave say Rock was a contact sport?

[chefcraig]

Start this one at two minutes...

I dunno, that still is a beautiful song, even if Matt Dillon looks goofy while performing it. By the way, whatever happened to that guy?

[Coyote]

Remember kids: A Bogner stack does not a guitar god make. (thankfully)

[Matt White]

Oy vey!!!

[ashstralia]

Haha! I've got 12 year old guitar students who'd tear this dude apart...
