some crazy finn (redundant?) on youtube, st. sanders, takes youtube vids of shredders shredding and dubs this hilariously awful, inept noodling over it, complete w/ goofy clapping, muted grunts, and frantic drum machining. after the initial loling, you have to marvel at his editing skills. st. must be an at least decent player himself to know exactly just how to fuck up and insert spot-on, absurd references (e.g., on the video he dubbed for eric clapton, he throws in metallica's "enter sandman" just at the right moment and long enough not to belabor the point). maybe this kind of shit isn't totally lolrus to the non-guitar-playing contingent, but shit, you get the point, especially if you've ever known a crappy guitar player who takes himself seriously; and/or, if you've ever walked into a guitar center.
one of my favorite dubs is the one he did of jake e. lee soling during a gig w/ ozzy and ozzy's totally ridiculous, coke-fueled clapping. christ, i haven't laughed this hard since grandpa tickled me. ozzy totally comes off like yr crazy, drunk-ass uncle who goes apeshit over yr "genius" guitar skills at that family reunion when you're 15 and three degrees away from having a hormone-induced nervous breakdown after being muscled into performing in front of yr motley crew of equally drunk, but nowhere near as thrilled, relatives. an antagonistic applauding: "CLAP, motherfuckers, CLAP!" not that i'd know jack shit about such a scenario.
jake e. lee:
im on ur stage
skuanderin ur hardurned deniro!
CLAPPIN LIEK A CRACKHEZ
marty friedman:
im in ur guitar center
sittin on ur stoo, playin ur anp, inpressin ur girl, murderin ur spirit
st.'s crowning achievement:
im on ur landmine
loosin ur limbz, freekin ur mind
the editing in this one is amazing. this shit is a fucking work of art. shit, i gotta get a drum machine.
