Once at an open mike I watched a guitarist do a screaming shred-fest over "all along the watchtower" only to be told afterwards that the rest of the band had retuned back to standard tuning after they had tuned down a full step at practice and he apparently had not remembered to do so. Played through the whole lead guitar showcase of 10 minute solo without realizing nearly every note was garbage. Some people just don't have ears for it
its also really hard to hear everyone else sometimes depending on the venue, and the whole point of rehearsal is so you dont have to stop and figure out what everyone is doing, nervous energy. Thats why pro bands keep a headpiece in and dont change tuning without coordinating it with everybody
erad5 Pretty much. They had all just started taking lessons, and figured a "Live on the Lawn" event at a local music store was the perfect place to show off their newly acquired "skills". Sad story, that store is no longer open. The owner didn't know shit about running a business, and his wife had a bad habit of taking money from the register to get her hair and nails done, so any hired help they had running that trainwreck came out unpaid. They weren't even around when it tanked, they made up some BS about needing to be out of state for something and everything from inside that was tossed out on the street was taken by neighbors or people who would actually appreciate and take care of it.
Mox_au I'm with you F lil waynes useless a$$ trying to pretend he can play guitar. Those guys destroyed an amazing song. I wanted to stab my ears with pencils rather then listen to them. But then I realized that was abit extreme and skipped over them. still..... Screw lil Wayne.
It was clearly the first time Lil Wayne touched a guitar. How did they even let this on the tap. Unbelievable. Probably a guy was like "ok ok Lil You'll have your guitar solo part like you've always wanted". Seriously I almost thought it was fake the first time I heard it.
The balls they have to actually go on stage to play like THAT IS ASTONISHING. I get that folks need to build confidence but they also need to be told ‘come back when you’ve had A LOT MORE PRACTICE’.
he's in a room with three other people rehearsing who are not hearing it either. But they all have equipment. Forced to play the picknick by a wife, or a warehouse/office band thrown together for a function and no one can really play.
He was actually trying to dictate the beat.I guess the drummer ( if that's what you can call him ) evidently has no clue as to what he's supposed to do...
I was in a high school band. We wanted to play Metallica at the talent show. I made a lot of mistakes but my band didn't seem to care. On the day of the talent show they told me they found a replacement. They could have told me way before. I knew I sucked back then.
The first show I ever played was a high school talent show. We didn’t make it to the show because there was a tryout first, so the tryout was our first show. Probably like these bands , we rehearsed once and I think we spent that time just getting drunk and not playing. Well anyways we sucked so bad we could have easily been on one of these compilations, but at least I realized how bad we were and I vowed to never do that again. Well it ended up happening with another band years later but for the most part we actually practice before we go out
I love it how the camera zooms in on the vista with the word 'MUSIC' on the building, and the drummers eye peeking out as the guy laughs! - You couldn't make it up!
I see Lil' Wayne is taking the minimalist approach to the guitar solo. It really delves deep into the psychological intricacies of the music industry and says a lot about society. Truly a work of art.
I kind of see what you are saying but to me he sounds like he's just learning and when was that ever against the law? Who knows, it might just be in the future.
You know, I suddenly feel better about my soloing. Also the guys on number 3 are awful at playing but they definetly have some negotiation skills with the fact that they managed to get a gig XD
clowntrooper61 made it ROCK! the blues scale and progression was around way before blacks got a hold of harmonicas and beat up acoustics...it's just a myth...
5 sounds like something you'd hear at guitar center. 4 trying to be soulful....not going too well. 3 basically the same as four. 2 you know when you've only just learned how to play bends but think you're a master at it? yeah that's what this is. 1..... Someone should have told Lil Wayne that 2 notes with inconsistent picking does not count as a solo.
Lil Wayne reminds me of those times when I was REALLY stoned and the gap between two strings was like the grand canyon, and the strings themselves were like drapery cords.
Lil Wayne's solo was so beautiful. So much feeling in those muted notes, they symbolize his troubles in life and how he overcame them. He's so amazing he only needs 2 notes to show he's the best.
@@josephmarshall6599 thats how my Dad sounded the first time i handed him my Explorer....looking at the right hand real carefully and then the left.... kinda makes you realize how HARD it really IS to do this guitar playing thing.... i take it for granted now after 42 years....anybody can do it.....its EASY, lol
@@edwhite7475 lol. very true. haha. I guess everyone in his little entourage, including mgmt and so forth, were too afraid to tell the mighty star 1) It just looks bad 2) It sounds even worse 3) Even if played by one of us it would still sound bad bc it is a 2 note riff my 2 yr old daughter plucks and 4) you're not a musician. Don't pretend to be one....
#5 is kind of amazing. How can your technique be that good when the sound you make with it is that bad? That's impressive in itself. I have never seen a worse performance than #3.
@@helmutswetglanz2590 look up horrorscension youll be impressed. Insane composition and the drums are wild as fuck its tech metal drumming but without regular cymbals and using woodblocks and shit. Super good honestly
What really sucks is when the person who fucks up rips on you for doing fine. I was in a band for a live gig. The rhythm guitarist/singer wanted to do a song we'd not planned on doing, rehearsed once, months earlier, never really had, but he really wanted to do it. Sure. So, I joked aloud - I don't remember the chords, but I'll follow. It was one of our best songs of the night. The lead guitarist didn't remember it either, never sure when to solo. It was just the three of us. I was on bass and playing a heavy rhythm to keep the beat. The audience was clapping along. The irony - the singer had totally messed up. He'd skipped a solo, forgot a chorus, restarted a verse, and didn't know how to end it. Afterwards he ripped me a new one and how maybe I should have sheet music. Yeah, I got the song fine and kept up with him. The lead guitarist held back playing a few times as he was totally lost. But, yeah, blame me.
The sad thing about number one is that it was part of a professionally made music video that was released to the public. It's so sad what the music industry has become.
I've often wondered when somebody plays this poorly how they can tell when they make a mistake or when they improve because there's not even two consecutive notes that sound like they go together. That in itself is rather difficult to accomplish.
Number 3 😂😂😂 My band was playing at that same show! Everytime I drive by this music store (it's closed now) I always smile and pull up the original video for whoever is with me to watch. Good times 😅
I once left my guitar switched on while I was in the kitchen getting some lunch. Then I heard this death metal guitar solo coming from the living room. When I went to investigate I found the cat slapping the strings of the guitar with its paws. That sounded 10 times better than anything I heard in this video.
#3: The elements combine in this video to create a pure work of genius. -The painfully ironic misnomer of "MUSIC" on the wall behind them. -The smug laziness of each "performer" clearly believing they've got this one "in the bag". -The awkward wandering of the lead singer, with premeditated jeans hole and sunglasses to protect his bald spot. -Lead guitarist clearly hates David Gilmour and freedom itself. -Bass player wakes up, plucks random notes loudly thus inviting lead singer's tuneless plea.
Got bad news for you. Limp Biscuit is back. The're doing a tour. This is gonna give "Give Me Something To Break" a whole new meaning as Fred breaks his aging hip while trying to be 20 again.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while! Thank you to whoever put these gems together! I cant get #3 out of my head. I just keep bursting out laughing! My wife thinks im losing it lol.
I was actually at the Pink Floyd cover band show. It was in Augusta, Ga. for the grand opening of a music store about 15 years ago or so. It was hard to watch. I cannot express how happy i was to find this video 15 years later and to able to experience the magic all over again. Thank you internet.
I used to tell my students - "You don't play guitar with your fingers - you play guitar with your EARS." These people have no ears - they lack the metacognitive ability to realize that they're bad, i.e. they don't know that they don't know. The first guitar player, for example, has arguably plenty of "technical ability" (sweep picking for example), but absolutely NO TONALITY WHATSOEVER
He's creating his own music, If he enjoys it leave him be. Personally if he can play a guitar like that i am pretty confident he can probably learn and play any song you know better than you can.
Maiden Head That's not the point Maiden, so yeah he has the general skills to play songs that were made by someone else but if he has the eventual want-to to make his own music, then it takes an EAR for music as they say. And even when listening to Heavy Metal or thrash metal you can hear a melody in the guitars, in hearing him play that "solo" I didn't hear anything except noise. It's one thing to say your music is good, but its another thing to hear it from someone else.
Jon RT not sure you know what you're talking about either. Let people enjoy what they're doing without being an armchair critic in some kind of ivory tower. What a glorious place to be.
I've been playing around with a guitar for over thirty years and I never once played that badly. And, until now, I don't think I've have ever felt so good about my own musical skills. Evidently, I Rock!
I laughed so hard I threw up, and I’m totally okay with that. I always say I support every musician willing to take the state but dang; number 3; exorcist pea soup would be coming out of my nose sitting live at that concert. I’m sorry I wouldn’t be able to control it. As soon as that one dude started laughing in the crowd, done. The hope and dream is over at keeping any composure.
I also cannot even alternative pick without hitting other strings by accident from time to time, and depending on the speed I'm going. Every song I like uses alternative picking and I'm willing to further improve to be able to play with fluidity and make it feel easy for me, just like when I started, playing smoke on the water with bar chords was a tad awkward but everybody learns step by step. Currently learning Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God, I've memorized everything but need to work on
Number 4 is "Nothing Came Out" by Moldy Peaches - the overdubbed double solo on the album is even better. As someone already commented on here, it is a classic.
#5 wasn't to bad. 4 i think it had to do with his clothing, 3 i think they were just drunk, 2 Fred needs to stick with using his voice and 1 i don't think lil wayne was even playing! lol
Takes some nuts to tackle what's generally considered one of the all-time best guitar solos and then make such an irredeemable muck of it. And every member of that band was playing awful.
That first one isn't bad. Behold...The Arctopus is a form of jazz, meaning improvisation takes place on leads often. They are actually a very badass band doing what they do with only 3 people (the drummer isn't in that video.)
So, uh, these are obviously fake, satirical videos, like a lot of others out there ('shred videos'). Am I missing a second level of the joke where everyone comments as if these had the actual audio?
Simeey These are the same fuckers who preferred Lil' Wayne's playing over Yngwie Malmsteen because he has "feeling" in his guitar playing. Really? You're either trolling or you're just that stupid.
I just started playing guitar and lately I've been thinking im ready! But these guys are better than me, so im Glad i seen this video or i would have been video number 6

These sound like every music store . Behold the arctopus sounds like guitar center's Line 6 Spider section.
That Comfortably Numb mess is the best worst thing I've ever seen!
Watched it three times - laughed harder each time
The fact is that those "worst" guitar solo are really hard to play for most so its just horrible in sound but to play must be absolutely terrorical
The infamous "Comfortably Numb" video. I haven't seen that in years. The first time I saw it I cringed so hard that I bruised my spleen.
I like the way the Comfortably Numb guy thoughtfully switches off the boost button at the end of his "solo." Gotta make sonic room for that vocalist!
So, #4 could be polished and turn into an amazing piece
I've been playing around with a guitar for over thirty years and I never once played that badly. And, until now, I don't think I've have ever felt so good about my own musical skills.
Evidently, I Rock!
Feels like I just spent three minutes in Guitar Center.
I laughed so hard I threw up, and I’m totally okay with that.
I always say I support every musician willing to take the state but dang; number 3; exorcist pea soup would be coming out of my nose sitting live at that concert. I’m sorry I wouldn’t be able to control it. As soon as that one dude started laughing in the crowd, done. The hope and dream is over at keeping any composure.
I also cannot even alternative pick without hitting other strings by accident from time to time, and depending on the speed I'm going. Every song I like uses alternative picking and I'm willing to further improve to be able to play with fluidity and make it feel easy for me, just like when I started, playing smoke on the water with bar chords was a tad awkward but everybody learns step by step. Currently learning Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God, I've memorized everything but need to work on
I just finished playing Comfortably Numb (the second solo) and then saw this. This is sad. This hurts.
guitar soloist 1:29 has a tuner on his headstock? what does he use it for though 🤔
Number 4 is "Nothing Came Out" by Moldy Peaches - the overdubbed double solo on the album is even better. As someone already commented on here, it is a classic.
Ive been looking for that song forever man. Thanks
Gracias lo buscaba de años esta canción
#5 was pretty good if he just wanted to show off his speed.
#5 wasn't to bad. 4 i think it had to do with his clothing, 3 i think they were just drunk, 2 Fred needs to stick with using his voice and 1 i don't think lil wayne was even playing! lol
Stephen McMillan
Agreed
Stephen McMillan number 4 was only bad because of his clothing? Might wanna get your ears checked rofl
Are you kidding they all suck lol
How does number 5 fully suck
And that's how Jazz was born.
That first one is like your surgeon telling you he's going to try and do your surgery as quickly as possible
mike lerner? more like MIKE LERNER TO PLAY FUCKING GUITAR!
Ohhhhhh
He plays like a lerner
I was literally thinking the same thing and was about to post the same comment, no lie, lol
idk what's worse, the solo on number 4 or the outfit.
Enlo Marco my fave
5 isn't bad, its just experimental and strange.
Yea I agree
Hidious Vanity If you're talking about experimental and strange I would say 4 is absolutely better than 5
Hidious Vanity The group is called Psyopus if your interested.
Hidious Vanity I would say it may be experimental and strange, but you can hear lots of messups and bad sounds that could be improved upon.
Glenn Mendoza Actually it's Behold... The Arctopus. Very technical metal band.
I love the look of concern on the drummer's face in #3 like he's wondering if the guitar player is having a stroke or something. 🤣
Wow! The confidence it must take to perform that badly in front of that many people and continue on. I envy those guys playing comfortably numb.
He picks light so he don't piss the sound off!
I feel so much better about my guitar skills after watching this. Thank you!
I played this in front of my dog. Dog hates me now.
thats why i dont shred mindlessly
number 5 really wasn't that bad, that was actually a pretty solid mathcore solo
They should be Shot on site. For trying to sing Comfortably Numb and that god awful solo. Please don't try that again.
I think those guys were fucking drunk. That was horrible.
It wasn't only a bad guitar solo, the whole band is horrible.
I honestly think it's the first time they ever played anything ever.
Takes some nuts to tackle what's generally considered one of the all-time best guitar solos and then make such an irredeemable muck of it. And every member of that band was playing awful.
barrettproduction AaAaA have become comfortably dumb dinga dinga ding
The ride cymbal stole the show during comfortably numb.
That first one isn't bad. Behold...The Arctopus is a form of jazz, meaning improvisation takes place on leads often. They are actually a very badass band doing what they do with only 3 people (the drummer isn't in that video.)
I was gonna say I could do worse but then those guys pretending to play Comfortably Numb came on and I decided I couldn't. lol
Not even the Flying Spaghetti Monster (our lord and savior) would approve of the amount of noodling taking place here.
Wassup my nigga
I was at this Limp Bizlit gig at Finsbury Park in 2003 when Fred played that. It sounded even worse in person.
1:30 Comfortably Numb Shitar solo...
Q: Anybody Got Tabs for any of these remarkable Shitar Solos?
damn the butchering of comfortably numb. At the point i would of just ran random pentatonic licks
I’m willing to bet the guitarist and bassist don’t know any pentatonic licks..
@@patrickmurphy9186 they also seem to have no concept of key nor time.
So, uh, these are obviously fake, satirical videos, like a lot of others out there ('shred videos'). Am I missing a second level of the joke where everyone comments as if these had the actual audio?
I dig the number 4 solo. Confessions it fits the song better than the actual solo
what is the name of the song and or band?
They covered comfortably numb. With six feet of dirt
Comfortably Numb (number 3) - incredible! One of the most unmusical things I've ever heard.
This is the first time in my life I've ever thought, "Fred Durst was the best"
I cannot believe that some people said Lil Wayne is better then Kirk hammett *FacePalm*
Obvious trolling is obvious... :)
Lil wayne couldnt play guitar to save his life
***** No some of the rap fans are actually serious about it as they have no idea about guitar. .__.
Simeey These are the same fuckers who preferred Lil' Wayne's playing over Yngwie Malmsteen because he has "feeling" in his guitar playing. Really? You're either trolling or you're just that stupid.
Bryan Reyna Ayt stfu, dont want to start argument with you.
I really like number 4
Wow... that's inspiring... maybe i'm not so bad after all. Yay!
I actually love number 4, its like some velvet underground noise rock shit
It sounds like they are covering "blinded by the light" (solo)
I just started playing guitar and lately I've been thinking im ready! But these guys are better than me, so im Glad i seen this video or i would have been video number 6
I have never touched a guitar in my life but i'm pretty sure that i can do whatever it was that Lil Wayne was doing.
I’ve played guitar my whole life and I can confirm, yes you can
For anyone that wants to play like lil Wayne his guitar is tuned to F-A-G-G-O-T
The guy has a daughter so doubtful.
Being gay and terrible at guitar is two very different things. Checkout Prince's guitar-solo's for an illustration.
A joke that aged like the finest of milks.
