[alyssaem9769]

[muzzapj86]

buckethead of violins!

[johnjohnstrick]

This reminds me of when I was a beginner

[bhsin1]

@johnjohnstrick so you progressively got worst ? damn that's a bad investment.

[bugmenotpls]

I'm happy he doesn't play in my subway... I don't I would arrive at work on time.. if at all.

[QueenCeeBby]

Freakin... EPIC !!!

[WillDrumForMoney]

Yo, that's a sick poster in the background... HOLY SHIT ITS MICHAEL SHULMAN!

[jecifuentes]

I bet that who filmed this didn't gave the guy a single dime. XD

[Harvest8888]

nice...but can you play twinkle twinkle little star?

[MrPresidentToBe]

@Harvest8888 i hardly thinks that appropriate...

[cwiley101]

i saw this guy yesterday in new york and he is absolutely incredible.

[Gazzz87]

fuck, never seen a violin do that shit. fucking sweet!

[jostyjoy]

doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous too...some people have it all.

[dbaseII]

Amazing... thanks for sharing this awesome rendition!!!!

[sk8r2000]

Meh, pretty good but nothing to Ed-Alleyne :D

[frankns]

check out video posted by frankns sweet child of mine

[g2dashizal]

Didnt know you could rock out on a violin!? FUKK! might get me one!

[ieowen]

I see this guy all the time when I come home from Baruch! Haha.

[crunkss]

that was fckin incredible

[UpcomingJedi]

NY...figures. Normally, people try to get out of the way when you are trying to take a picture. These bozos never even try to duck out of the way!!

[teamsweetheart]

The "bozos" are the ones standing in the walking path of a crowded subway station. Making it to work on time trumps capturing video clips.

[guitarfella4rock]

badass violin

[littleangelinheaven]

Wow!!! u this man should be in Guns n´Roses!!

[AdmiralKexxy]

2:38 - 3:10

[rticle15]

Go watch this video "Michael Shulman- Paganini XXI Century" It might change your opinion about whether he's any good.

[rticle15]

This guy is good. I'm sure he can play it straight like Ed Alleyne, but he has probably done it like 500 times and is trying to make it interestings. Granted, might be a bit much in terms of the musical gymnastics, but he can play.

[BoboSab3121]

@rticle15 he is good

[trubee24]

this is why i wanna move to new york

[rogueangel2k]

i'd hire him

[fuaktarded61]

thats the tightest electric violin ive ever seen lmao

[TheMaxzilla]

Alright, it looks like a bunch of people have been hating on this guy, and lawl, so am I.

Firstly, yeah, it's sweet child of mine on a violin. seems like everyone's all "OMG impossible", and lawl, yeah, Ed alleyne johnson's cover is much better. listen to it.

Second, uh... Ed alleyne johnson's cover is much better. listen to it - you can actually hear the melody. This guy's got a bunch of funky tremolos and trills... doesn't sound nice.

I'll give him credit -- it's a cover. Nothing special...

[petercr49]

If you want to see this played properly on an electric violin have a look at Ed Alleyne Johnson playing it.

[sweetchild1987]

you have to be kidding me!!! PLAYING SLASH'S SOLO ON AN ELECTRIC VIOLIN??????? thats incredible!!! geez!!!!

[vendetta3000]

why is the entire crowd wearing black coats?

[rockyfree2rhyme]

OMG I cant believe my ass tht someone jus played sweet child o mine on a violin.... SLASH would be damn proud!!!! FUCK U ALL MTV LOVING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE PIECES OF SHIT... THIS IS REAL MUSIC,, REAL TALENT!!!!!!! Long live rock n roll \m/

[gnatural]

coolest electric violin ever!

[Xur808]

Nope, you're not the only one. It was indeed crap.

[michellel807]

Thanks, seems you can't have a different opinion to everyone else on you tube with out getting abuse...even if you only stated whether or not you liked something and didn't actually criticise it

[michellel807]

Am I the only one who doesn't like this?

[cdmh1006]

YES

[guitarlicious]

you dont like it because playing violing you cannot play the exact notes of all the songs so this guy need to use another method to continue the song and that's when you dont like. am i right?

[michellel807]

Erm no actually. I don't like it because it sounds nothing like "Sweet child o Mine" I covered up the song title and let my partner hear it and he had no clue as to what it was. I don't play any instruments and don't want to appear ignorant but I know what I like and what I don't.

[kornforpie]

that is not true at all.. your an idiot. The violin can play any note on the scale just like any other intrument..

[sheepyangel]

this is fucking awesome<3 :3

[miguellegal]

this violin is kinda homosexual!!

this fucking lights, looks like britney spears......

it would be better with a male violin

[lillestat]

wtf??

[sexdrugsnmaximilian]

yeah this is fuckin sick!

check my cover of this solo out on the guitar btw :)

[LuccSlimBr]

o cara é fodão

[gvallemartins]

puta que pariu foda de mais!!!

jesus fuckin christ! totaly awesome!

[99lucas66]

o cara é bom pacas no violino, muita abilidade e talz, fera mesmo, só q ele invento umas coisa na mpusica q naum fico muito legal não, devia de se um pokiinho mais fiel a musica original, mais o cara manda bem pacas

[spartanV]

I dont know! while he sounds like a awesome musician, i dont like his version of sweet child....damn.

[Fovos]

actually sounds really good considering that he is playing in subway surrounded by noisy people and tiles, and not in a studio. good job. you will be surprise how many talents are playing in subway stations.

[dr150]

Frickin' awesome!

[cattlegod]

sounds like shit

[lanalovee]

he is obvi not really playing and its a track coming out of the speakers. that shit is not plugged in.

[GnomeDrax]

idiot, it IS plgged in, the drums and other instruments are coming out of the speakers, he IS playing live... I hate when people that can't even play a flute try to make comments about other musicians

[sheepyangel]

its an electric violin......the amp is on the violin sweetheart...

[lanalovee]

sweetheart.. look at the way he's playng. i played violen for 12 years and piano for 14.. that's not what playing looks like. welcome to nyc.

[domo77779]

just cos he's better than you :p

[sheepyangel]

been living in nyc and u think i can believe u? lol it looks like playing to me the amp is clearly on the violin. so w.e :]

[lalabear18]
