Bad taste man, this guy was pretty good in his day. Chronic arthritis destroyed his hands, but not his love for guitar. He should be commended for his love of guitar rather then ridiculed. Shame.
Seriously like I thought shred wasn't an ass, this was a classless move and the information behind this clip is readily available. Fucking embarrassing
Yeah Stevie T did a thing about this dude. Apparently use to be able to actually play. Was made into a joke despite it being caused by health issues. Really sad tbh.
Rest in peace Richard Benson. A legend who was delt a bad hand and lived through humiliation to make ends meet. Never take for granted the ability to play and learn the guitar. To Richard Benson, I learned Adagio in Re to honor you. Rest in Peace.
That's a bit of a stretch mate I can guarantee you didn't know who this guy was until you seen him mocked on the internet don't try to make out you're a die hard fan🤣
The fact that Shred has already talked about him and admitted he had heard of his illness makes it even more fucked up that he's coming back to make fun of him
@@HeadCannon1776 It's a joke on a man who struggled because his ability to play guitar was taken away from him and then internet bullies started making fun of him and mocking him. He died a little over two months ago and here we are again with people mocking while his body is still warm. Fuck off with that shit. If it were you or one of your relatives I doubt you'd still feel the same way.
@@HeadCannon1776 the “joke” is in bad taste considering the guy just passed away and has crazy arthritis.. you think it’s funny making a fool outta people with disability’s ?
It’s a little overblown, I think. If Shred does something bad, call him out on it, but don’t say he’s a terrible person. It doesn’t excuse anything bad Shred does, but better people have done worse for less.
You can have passion for guitar and still play within your abilities. Nobody would be mocking him if he wasn't doing this wanky trash shredding like someone who picked up a guitar last month. He could just play normal songs and it would be fine. He put this crap on the internet, so that's on him.
Yes, people who play with their feet sound better. Richard benson always sound Bad while playing fast. It s the distortion sound and comprenssion that makes it sound horrible.
@@juanvaldez5422 Sometimes I can't tell if he's in character or consumed too much acid in his young days and well, too much acid does affect the brain...
@@eatass5627 Actually he used the word right. "Effect" would have been proper if he said something like "it has an effect on the brain." Basically, 'effect' is used as a noun and 'affect' is usually used as a verb. Not arguing. Just trying to help people understand the terminology better
After careful and intense analysis of the entire solo I am absolutely convinced no human on Earth could faithfully recreate it note for note with every single nuance in tact.
Dying doesn't erase the bad decisions you made in life. He decided to try and play far beyond his capabilities, then decided to put in on the internet. And he did that over and over and over again. So cry me a river, because this is wanky cringe and it deserves to be ridiculed. I don't give a F if he's alive or not.
He was… quite the guitarist back in his day. He got sick with arthritis, he got a little cooky as he got older and made some… strange material. I know it’s kind of ableist… but I’m sorry, it’s still just as fun to make fun of Richard Benson as it is to make fun of Nickleback. It’s not ok to make fun of disabled people. They can’t help it and they shouldn’t be made fun of for going through something and having to struggle against it. That being said… if you’re sh** at guitar playing and you advertise that to the world as “hey guys, look how I can shred,” you’re going to get a certain reaction, like it or not.
I think he was decent in his earlier days but he has some decease so he cant play anymore, its really sad. Even sadder how he was treated on stage. He sat behind a chickenfence cause people threw stuff at him and all he wanted was to play. Kind of heartbreaking but he kept playing. A trooper!
Take this down please. Show the man some respect. Everyone who has a passion for music shares in that passion, and for that reason, should never be a target for any un-constructive criticism.
Before i know the fact that he had arthrithis and he died this year, i used to make fun of him after watching things like this in the Stevie T Channel, because i though he just sucks at guitar, but imagine if you practice guitar for years cuz u freaking love playing, and them your hands just stop working normally and makes a shred even more impossible, this guy was a Trve hero and i hope he's shredding at guitar without any freaking arthrits or something in heaven, ROCK IN PEACE MY MAN 🇧🇷\m/
Since there are some people who still don't understand, Richard Benson played his guitar purposely "bad" to fulfill a cringy character, yet, his final song was an excellent one where he shown his true skills at both playing guitar and composing songs.
Richard Benson could probably shred better than most during his days he had a condition in his hand that messed him up forever he still loves his guitar and no one has the right to take that away
Shred isn't making fun of Richard. He picked up the unfair and frankly untrue moniker of "Worst Guitar Player Ever" many years ago. Every time I would see the audience pelting him with food it would send me into an unholy rage. #RIP
Asking if he’s the worst is kinda outta poket man…. He used to be a shred king until his hand condition caught up to him.. I have the same hand condition so I feel for this guy. He is far from the worst sir
Have you not seen any of the other comments? He was a good guitar player who tragically lost his hands to arthritis and disease. Your comment is misguided
Yes I know he got arthritis and lost ability but that is not the point here this is all dissonant slop Jason Becker lost his hands and still can actually write music even without being able to play because he cared about music composition. you don't know what you are talking about
Is he the worst guitar player? Not by a long shot. The people that paid money to ridicule him, shout at him and throw garbage at him, those star the worst. Rest in peace Maestro
I don’t like this style of music but this guy sounds like he’s playing really well. And from the comments it sounds like he has arthritis and brain damage? If that’s the case, that makes this dude even more impressive.
I actually like his playing a lot tbh there is a lot of genius to what he is doing. To the untrained ear they do not understand the mastery of this type of art.
Nah, he was really good in the day, but got sick in a way that F'd his dexterity. It really sucks. But, he does have people who go see him because they know and respect.. Got his fan base.
Poor Richard Benson. I think he took it all in good fun after the arthritis ruined his hands, but he was actually a pretty good guitar player beforehand.
Of course his posture is terrible for playing, but after 2 or 3 comments here you realise that this guy have arthrits, which explains it all... Sad to think it will happen to many guitarists someday because age comes to everyone. :^/
I look at the positive side actually enjoy listening to this he like screw it I'm gonna own this axe and force it to do my bidding i love it yes he was pretty fast and ok in his day
He’s just covering a Kerry King solo, what’s the big deal? Sounds like he nailed it to me
😆epic dude...
Lmao facts
😂😂😂😂
lol
Kerry cant even play his own solos lol

Yep. And he sadly passed away not long ago.
YALL NEED MORE STEVIE T
He passed away recently. Apparently, he had some really serious physical and cognitive health issues.
That tracks. Jeez I work with people with cognitive disabilities.
Thank you “ Debbie downer “ ,, now let the legend play 🎸
Fuck when did it happen.. seriously I didn't even know.. may his soul must be headbanging in heaven

Do not joke about richard benson, stevie t already did it and it was not good
What happend ?
To stevie
Well people got really mad at him, like REALLY MAD
But he apologized recently and said rhat he didnt know abou Richard's didabilities
He didn’t know
Dude was a legend. Stop trying to talk shit on the dead, its not a good look
A legend of wanky trash shredding maybe. A legend of constantly trying to play beyond his talent level, maybe.
After careful and intense analysis of the entire solo I am absolutely convinced no human on Earth could faithfully recreate it note for note with every single nuance in tact.
😆 or transcribe and tab it and I think it's In some reptilian alien key or tuning
From what I’ve heard online he had arthritis
He's also passed on, so shred is just attacking a dead guy. Shameful

Yeah great comments from the metal community. Bunch of youtubers making fun of him and apologising later. Just not metal.

Better than rap crap.🎸🎶🎼💯

Delete this!!
Very Stevie T of you
Like this man, I'm now losing my ability to play to arthritis. Still, even tho he had arthritis, he nailed this solo covver!
Well, Here comes another Audio Audit apparently
Yeah no doubt my man😅
When injury can't destroy passion
There’s a very long backstory about Richard Benson. He doesn’t deserve the hate he gets.
Who's to watch the Richard Benson video 🖤
He was actually really good.
This guys story is beyond sad.

Just popped in because I haven’t seen daddy shred in a while. I think it’s good I stayed away.

He was a musical legend
yngwie malmsteen is one of the most influential guitar players ever. How dare you call him the worst!
He's not a bad guitarist, he's just playing Jazz.
what guitar is this?
Guy has some health issues. He shouldn't be mocked for not giving up.
Shred isn't making fun of Richard. He picked up the unfair and frankly untrue moniker of "Worst Guitar Player Ever" many years ago. Every time I would see the audience pelting him with food it would send me into an unholy rage.

This is fucked up man
No way you posted this knowing Richard Benson and his story
What sucks is there's so many people out there that can fkn rip a guitar and don't get this much recognition 💯
Richard was a LEGEND !
Little Wayne wins that award
The poor guitar being tortured by him
Was very talented once and lost his abilities due to an illness.
No he's chasing his better days.
Sad somehow...
Electric reflections of war
He picks like Ace Freley. Pretty unorthodox right hand technique.
He's dead few months ago
🤘😭
Pov you see slash from wish
This is the war cries of a dying guitar 😂

He’s torturing the guitar
I've heard worse. Hell, I used to be WAY worse than this
He's dead this year. He played after a crash too bad but not before. Before he was a great level player.
I believe he is the worst guitar player ever not for his lack of technique but his misguided approach in any case Rest in peace Richard Benson

Now, first time I really looked at his left hand fingers and I there is signs of his sickness. RIP maestro.
good old Richard Benson
Difference is Kerry King makes it sound good it’s like comparing me to Dimebag..
No, but perhaps the most unfortunate.
A classy move would be to delete this video altogether.
