ed the shred

[DaGagamel]

yes he is very good but why the stupid outfit?^^

[skypjuh]

where did 'LazyLions' go?

[Wellingtonmmvieira]

OMG this guy is very good !!!!! someday i will play like him kkkkkkk

[Aku666Torres]

Ok. I'm going to be nice here,being that you killed me with kindness.

This song of yours Ed, is your best one I feel. The tone, the arpeggios remind me of one Tony Macalpine, while your tapping segments ring out Yngwie. Both of which I'm sure are on your music collection.

I actually like this one. Now. Like you, most your music is strange. kinda hard to gulp down, but this one is good. now, your other idol would say "live long and prosper"

[Aku666Torres]

Well if anything, I admire your sense of humor..

rock on..

[metalkeith73]

I think we just found Skwisgar's real father.

[NavySealRay]

i like the part where he sweep picks

[SolvingOurKreation]

2:40 EPIC!!

[jetaimemina]

The sweepy little thing from 2:24 to 2:32 is the most amazingly intricate guitar stuff I've heard in my life. And believe me, I have heard them all.

[BangYourEd]

@BCt0xiN I don't limit myself by telling me what I can't do. So, I reject your premise entirely. The gold Razorback isn't gold anymore... I'm getting it back from the paint shop next week... you'll be able to see pics on the website. edtoshred com

BTW... It's the love from people like you that keeps the comments going strong and current while I finish my CD. Thanks! Come by and hate me on Myspace and Facebook too!!!!

[discipleofhoudini]

@BangYourEd lol its ok ed theres more ppl out there that love u than trolls that b trolin (-_-) l,,l keep rokin man

[Aku666Torres]

@BangYourEd Are you ED? impersonator? whatever.. Pathetic that you have to solicit from your fans. USE your OWN fucking money dude. You're apparently endorsed by companies that deal in musical equipment right? means you're saving more money than most hard working musicians. You should be ashamed of yourself. Finance your own crappy music dude!

[BangYourEd]

@Aku666Torres Wow... someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Endorsements don't mean a thing if you're not a big name. As for the fund raiser... About a week into the fundraiser we've raised $880. I feel fortunate to have so many fans and friends. Don't hold yourself back by setting limitations. I don't. And because of that... I'll be in the studio next month. All the best to you, cranky one!

ROck on!

ED

[plyjhny]

@Aku666Torres ?Dude did ever think he might not have money or a well paying job who knows music endorsements only give you gear

[Aku666Torres]

@plyjhny You may be right, I may of been wrong about the endoresments thing.

[Deanguitarman123]

Looks like the kid from hot for teacher grew up and tried to play like steve vai while holding his guitar like the beetles..

[BCt0xiN]

That Gold Razorback? You didn't earn it, you don't deserve it.

[BCt0xiN]

When you unfairly won the best dean shredder Dimebag rolled over in his grave. You should be ashamed, and told dean you didn't deserve to win because you and I both know you were no where near the best. The sweeps you used in the entry were about as fast as any intermediate teenage guitar player who practices a lot. Your shit sounds seriously boring too. Oh look you don't even know how to edit a video.

So how has it been getting nothing but negative comments sense your rigged win?

[HippieBr]

Timo Tolkki made this 15 years ago, Malmsteen 30 years ago. So, I'll show his grades:

Guitar playing technics: 10!

Innovation: 0!

Feeling: 0!

(I didn't even mention Vai, Satch, Dime, VH, Petrucci, Nuno, Rhoads, Zakk, Saraceno, Gambale, Friedman, Becker and many others that you know!) AND PLEASE, DON'T EVEN DARE TO COMPARE THESE GUYS TO HIM!

[taj334]

ACHOKARLOS IS 10TIMES BETTER

[lildude234]

@taj334 He can play faster, but he doesn't make his soloing sound better than his. And sounding the best is what its all about.

[taj334]

@lildude234

Ok well i was kind of upset, when i heard you win, cause i am a big fan of achokarlos. But anyway i prefer his sound, he sounds more metal. His solos have more balls too. But anyway yours are great too, and i would be proud to play like in about 5 or 50 years :D

[tenhundredkills]

Nerd shred?

[walkpantera88]

Ed the Shred RULZ!!!!

[shadowkid124]

obviously he has great skill but its nothing original at all. just shred as metioned in his name. Id like to hear him compose a song he wasnt soloing over the whole time

[thatguywiththegibson]

anyone know were to get this song?

[scottyrevolution]

dam ed u fuckin rock so clean dont even look like he is tryin

[MasYoNo25]

Shit....I cant play such clean like that.....I just wanna punch him in the face!! : P

[bonedr2]

1 Million hours of practice and this is what you get!!!!

[graymic]

@bonedr2 he's a 114 :O

[hektorbored]

i have him as a myspace friend

[atypicalmystery]

hahaha awesome. the opening sounds like mega man.

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

very good....time to release a Jeff Loois type ''zero phase order' neoclassical release ...or can ed compose as well as he playes??? hmmmn

[croan08]

looks like dave mustaine with the clean cut look!

[Polithiki]

Outstanding guitarist! Effortless and spot on! This guy is not just a shreding machine, he knows, feels and enjoys the music! That's what is making him exceptional.

[137Supra]

so im guessing he plays guitar for video games

[poisoneyes]

this guy is smart, if he looked like an average shredder he might not get noticed, this look makes all the poser shredders look stupid and serious, but to pull this off you have to be good, and he is top notch.

[Metal666HateEmosGays]

You sir are really nerdy but play the guitar like god

[Howie1335]

@Metal666HateEmosGays eh, i think he plays a lil more like jesus, god shreds a little harder

[mrcacapants]

some day.. maybe ill shred like that :(

[peoplegetpeople]

effortless. fucking amazing man. not even a squint. fuck all you "he looks stupid" fucking morons. this guy has more shred in his left nut than you have in your entire body. ever. sell your guitar faggots. you'll never live up to this "stupid" looking master of the shred!

[huggybear8374]

hes good but he definitely should not have won the dean shred search, muris vajervic should have won hes milestones better than this guy

[peoplegetpeople]

honestly, man....when they get this good....it all becomes opinion. I don't know who muris vajervic is but plan to check him out. BTW, thanks for the grown up reply. the high school bickering on youtube is getting old. much respect, bro.

[MrDunkJunk]

He plays great but looks like an idiot.

[sdgrdr107]

deff influenced by becker

[MartyHITD]

good guitaist but didnt want him to win on the contest

[drawnacrol]

I wish the lesson was still up for this,I can't figure out the last few bit in the intro

[kiddhitta]

he likes his sweeps, thats for sure

[Decorus11]

his guitar skills reminds me of Tony MacAlpine

[SiK0Fuzz1es]

Such a great player. His hammer-on and Pull-off technique is great. Very clean.

[eman0080]

someone really needs to make a guitar pro tab of this

[LateMetaL93]

Fuck this dude can play

[cyberwaffles]

anyone who hates this is NOT a guitar aficionado. the tone, the sweeps, the tempo, the compositional skill, his technique, and just about everything is superb. i've heard them all from michael angelo batio, ynwgie malmsteen, michael romeo, paul gilbert, rusty cooley, jason becker, marty friedman, chris impelletri, and many others yet this guy just has something unique that you won't see in those guys i mentioned.

[milkenkookies]

idk man, he def reminds me of jason becker. and one thing is how clean it is, thats his main skill id say.

[MetallicaxGodly]

he doesnt do anything besides sweeps.. and hes not completely amazing at those

[IronSheik182]

then you must probably play songs like st anger

[CoolKwstas123]

Ed the Shit!

[orlan001]

hes good

[t8levin]

yeah nerd power!!! Ned you're awsome

[skypjuh]

where did lazylions go?there just GONE from1day till another!

[MasYoNo25]

no speed but insanely clean........

[GhostRcon]

Song name ?????????? i need it

[boudreau1993]

The song is Aggressive Xtacy.

[johnysuperfly]

thats the steve vai moment everything else is meh makes me wanna listen to malmsteen and thats saying sumthin

[UnpopularPoppy]

I don't get why he has to dess like a douchebag

[thebettyfier]

its all image

people think it's more impressive an unique if he dresses that way

[UnpopularPoppy]

well hes talented but can't touch Rusty Cooley no doubt

[Alex17014]

Rusty Cooley is just veeery different, you reall can't compare them, but they both rock

[howtoplanaparty]

I'm actually likin this. I like the little drum mini-solo, too.

[howtoplanaparty]

I want to see ?#4 with the abduction son by Raymond in it.

[razoredv]

he won a gold guitar

[darkmagicforce]

2:57 - 3:10 sexiness.

[ejdc007]

he won dEan Shredder Search!!

Nice Job !

[revolverhades23]

his nerdyness adds to the coolness

[HeapyLovesMetallica]

hes a great guitarist but it annoys me how he looks like a nerd

[drummer9000]

man. he is called ed the guitar nerd. :D

it must be like it is :D

[Andoni666]

you should dress normal and act more hardcore it would be way cooler.

[Diakka2]

Well keep your dumb ass opinions to yourself. You can't do and will NEVER be able to play anything even close to this. What the fuck did you expect me to say to your comment? In all these comments people are saying "Good job , Ed!" and stuff like that, and then your dumb ass comes in and says "No alternate picking, music is boring." Go die in Chernobyl and have fun trying to cover Oops I did it again.

[minorthreat141]

whats almost dumber than what that guy said is how your blowing this ed the shred dude via youtube cuz that guy talked some smack.

[hellmaniac666]

poor video. good tapping, almost no alternate picking, music is boring. Muris Varajic should've won the competition.

[Diakka2]

Yeah well, he didn't... so go fuck yourself, Asshole.

[hellmaniac666]

Dude, it was my opinion, I didn't wanted to offend you in any way. So fucking why are you typing to me such words? Ебаный жид.

[aeroforce2]

eds a champ but in my oppinion doug steele shoulda won

[DuDe1040]

hell i aggre to muris varajic should won the contest, but he didnt because he was sitting while hes playing

[DanJoyy]

i didnt like the shit story behind it, it would have been better if he put conviction in to his playing, btw ed to shred or whoever make this video should learn how to spell episode.

[iownjoo]

He spelled it EDpisode on purpose.

Because his name is Ed, you fuckin' retard. Haha.

[DanJoyy]

Sarcasm fuck face. -.-

[chauvesouris1]

where can i find tabs for the intro???????????

[koppergtr]

this is cool because its not just pointless shred its pretty melodic at some parts unlike dragonforce shit

[damddwarf]

the bass behind is well tight

[cyberwaffles]

lol this is funny. no one gives a flying shit about the story to this series, everyone just wants to watch ed play.

[guitarspring]

man is this guy in a band??!

[JezuzofDoomlolxxx]

whatever happened to him?

[rocklikebrucelee]

freaking jamming out with his new golden dean razorback! This guy won the Dean Shredder contest!!!

[monstermitch58]

i doubt hes actually gonna play the razorback considering dean guitars are garbage

[rocklikebrucelee]

well nowadays Dean is making crappy guitars. The new CEO seems to care more about selling out Dimebag's name than selling good quality guitars. That's why I'm gonna buy a DBZ (Dean. B. Zelinsky) guitar later. He made another company to do what he loves best>>>>> making beautiful, high quality guitars.

[tabxmaux]

I sent an email to the Ed to Shred site asking about that, and they said they'd been banned but that they were gonna be back.

I hope they are back some time. >>;

[dugonggitarista]

wow ..your very good in playing !.. and very clean in tune.. you deserve to be the winner of dean shredder search!.nice!

[cyberwaffles]

i like this guy a lot. he sounds great, plays great, and he has an original look.

[jamesfrancis5]

SUPPORT HIS METH HABIT!

[Kjutte1]

Buy his cd, it costs 7 bucks. don't cry on youtube.

[strdr]

dude I have the whole vid, i saved it before he went missing, i also ripped the audio, and made the intro plus this song intro one track, I would upload it if you want, I also have the first guitar lesson, saved.

:D

[embroisured]

Where did Ed to Shred go?

[XMetaLxManiacX]

Anyone know what model RG this is?

[monstermitch58]

prestige prolly

[BoogyWoogyCreep]

It's actually not an RG model. Ed told us what it was a dew years back, and damnit, if I can remember. He did mention though it was an older Ibanez, but no RG designation.

[BoogyWoogyCreep]

I remember now! It's an Ibanez 770!

[deformedhell]

i miss u...

[keeponshredding]

why where he go?

[TheGuitarSentry]

Man...It's gonna be Vai,Malmsteen, then Ed to shred lol.

[antichriscrocker6]

what is this song called? what did Ed name it? it is so amazing.

[iwieldthemastersword]

i think it was extreme extacy

[vampyrevm]

great video, the only thing that i found wrong with the entire video was that it cut off in the middle of that awsome ass solo . . .

VAMPYRE

[sexyginger]

ed FTW!!!!

[DarkLink1080]

can u upload the rest?

[Chevytodalevite]

*jaw hits ground and breaaks*

[Kiejzo]

Any tab for this?

[jixter951]

This guy has a great shtick with the whole nerd guy caper. Also his playing, song writing and phrasing are super solid! He has a site on the web where you can buy his MP3s, just do a search on "ed nerd guitar".

[josh102090]

who cares about the vid, just listen to his insane playing

[Spangank]

Damn... this video is incomplete. What the hell happened to LazyLions...

[DeathBat5050]

all of his videos were taken off because he hacked into the youtube database and made every 1 view into 3 views i know because i play with his drummer

[helmfire]

that bastard...actually...damnit i miss all his videos...he is definately..insanely amazing haha

[macgyiver117]

your calling this gay when you have a clay akian  photo shoot on your page, your the gay one buddy

[ohwhatacereal]

i want to see a battle between him yngwie and M.A. Batio

batio would win

[metalgearwarrior]

yes!!! i am with you my friend, amazings skills

[Chris93Rock]

Where the hell did this guys videos go?!??
