the "[famous guitarist] shreds" videos on YouTube

Nothing makes me laugh harder than Shreds shit and this takes it to a new level

oh my god 1:23 - 1:26

Had to close my door from laughing at the drum pad with the "Damn!" and air horn sounds.

Yeah, the air horns did me in.

yessssss

That's just the funniest thing, but perhaps the funniest thing to the fewest people for the most specific reasons.

^^^^^

Given the hysterical response to that video, it's clear that I should continue to keep my Beaterator tracks to myself.

holy fucking shit this rules

I was curious enough to go watch the original video, and in only made the shred one funnier.

the st. sanders guy who makes all these = total hero

oh my god that Corea + Hancock video is so well synced up

the grin on Herbie's face is killin me right now

and yes @ that Hall & Oates one...pew! pew! pew!! gettin a Legion of Rock Stars vibe from that one

still think the Elvis one's never been topped but man, these are all so good

I went back and watched the Eddie Van Halen one, which might have been the first or one of the first I ever saw, and it still kills me.

the part where he plays a little bit of iron man and fucks it up, holy shit

i have seen this and to be fair to fred, i believe he was sound checking

“Ill fated shredding”

I thought this was a St Sanders esque redub with hilariously bad vocals but...nope. actually Vince Neill.

omg

It was a treat to see Questlove discover and fall down the *SHREDS* rabbit hole a few weeks back, he was posting tons of videos on his Instagram story.

I love to revisit them. Still haven't lost their shine.

wait what the hell are the actual lyrics then

Nobody knows, the scrolls were lost

I still laugh out loud when I think of the end of Help, "ELM.....BEEF!!!......ELM!!!!!.....BEEF!!!"

so meta:

H and I still often quote the Bohemian Rhapsody vid: "It's my bad cool dad!" "WE MIGHT BE HAVING FIIIISH" etc. I think sometimes we don't even remember where it came from when we're saying it, these are just things that we say.

I hadn't seen the Celine Dion 'My Heart Will Go On' one until recently but my god there is one particular moment in there where I'm pretty sure I laughed so hard I ruptured something.

Vince Neil is without a doubt the worst singer I have ever seen perform.

^ The most diplomatic guy ever, and apparently Sammy Hagar's cousin.

Vince and Paul need to tour together:

Paul demonstrating why you never schedule extensive oral surgery immediately prior to a gig.

the jessie j one is my all-time favourite of these

This SHREDS video of Journey's Separate Ways always makes me laugh because it banks on the fact that no instrument is actually plugged.

I don't know if it's an actual 'shreds' video or a 'musicless' music video as the title implies but it's sort of the same concept.

ok I see now by looking at the related videos that the 'musicless music video' is another thing but they live in the same awkward universe as the shreds ones. I'll be right back I will be watching as many as I can.

I feel like this one was shared earlier in here but it makes a ridiculous music video even better:

the ableton 10 tweet died so here's the og video:

Is this also the thread to share “fails” vids? Prince fails etc

xpost I still think that is the funniest thing ever. I lose my shit at the air horn.

Tamplin wasn't so diplomatic with Sebastian Bach, lol

I don't know where else to post this, but 10 years ago on YouTube there was a version of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" where the vocal track was about a quarter second behind the beat, and it was hilariously bad, and I can't stop thinking about it today.
