  • Cookie Monster is running down to Guitar Center right now to fetch one of these but his monthly GC 15% coupon won't apply.

  • What the fuck is this shit!

  • and hate the song

  • the guitars nice hate the band

  • It's bad on purpose ppl see how many ppl watch this and see the product and besides it's funny shit

  • what twats...

  • Why:S! So facking great guitar and those fags came up?

    ( by the way: i've got the Silverburst ( Limited Edition ), ROCK-ON! )

  • @royalfm1293 I got the Silverburst BFG, too! And I just put a Seymour Duncan Blackout in it and now it slays!!!

  • they give metal a bad name!

  • I Wonder if the old fart in charge of advertising at Gibson just went to his nephew and was like "So sonny what are the young people listenin to"  and because "sonny" was on crack at the time....this is what they got...

  • WTF?!!!!!!!!!!sucks!

  • gibson gibson gibson......where did you find these

  • I think Gibson wants to go bankrupt.

  • If this is the sort of effort Gibson put into marketing the guitar, I have to assume they have done the same bad job and lack of effort in making the guitar and so I won't be buying one. Their only marketing for the BFG is its the highest output guitar they've ever made; they don't talk at all about the versatility of a P90 neck with a humbucker bridge, then they make a demo where you can't hear any tone.

  • hahaha i still look up this video when i want a good laugh. its so ironic that such a huge and important guitar company as gibson would choose to represent their guitar with such crap music.

  • Comment removed

  • this made me want to sell my les paul

  • shoudlve actually done deathcore vocals since ther playing so loooow then it wouldve sounded awesomeeee

  • wtf is this shit

    and it is such a nice guitar

  • my anus is bleeding

  • Fuck all you all.

    Yous are the ones who are ball lickers.

  • who are this faggots?!!!!!!!!

    what a poor way of announce a great guitar

  • maybe the BFG wouldnt have been such an utter failure if they hadnt have advertised it with this fucking SHIT.

    I mean with lyrics like "BUY THE GUITARR ONLY FROM GIB-SON" they mustve known they were dealing with complete IDIOTS like

  • WTF is the point of having such a great guitar and playing such utter shite?! Scooped out muddy crap like this could be accomplished with a guitar from Argos with no loss in quality

  • I cry when see that poor Gibson in his hands~

  • holy shiat..awesome..NOOOOT!

  • what...

    the...

    f*ck...

    ONLY-FROM-GIB-SON, three idiot kids who came from finger painting with friends in their grandma's basement. I can't imagine how any band could suck much more after that. for all that is still holy and pure in rock and metal music, youtube take this video down. it makes baby jesus cry.

  • omg this guitar was radep please youtube delete this vid it makes my cry :( (XD)

  • nerds...

  • The Les Paul BFG IS a really awesome guitar even though this shit sucks balls.

  • they suck!

  • WTF

    the guitat rocks im getting it tomorow but why these freaks why not promote more cheetah chrome on his video

  • i hope this video was meant to poke fun at themselves...it seriously makes gibson look like they have lost touch with the consumer.

  • what is this shit!? lol...is the bfg a good guitar though? all i hear is how radical and new n shit it is but i never heard someone say : yes this guitar is worth getting and it is good for : metal rock etc

  • i tried one out in a guitar shop a couple of weeks ago as i recently bought a guitar and this is what i thought-

    -=The sound is really great but not what you expect from an instrument that has been made by gibson.

    -=The neck is clumsy and makes it difficult to play.

    -= They arent varnished so they will scratch easily.

    -= they come without a trussrod cover which coupled with the non varnish finsh make it look old and nicely reliced but think how will it look after 9 or 10 years

  • good point there

  • i want the limited edition silverburst one. sick guitar

  • Song about a guitar? thats a bit gay

  • they're singing fucking bad, but imo melody is quite good. Especially a beginning.

  • I have the black one! i LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • god that was awful... but the guitar is sweet... but still this band is HORRIBLE

  • noooo that was terrible

  • fuked up, seriously fuked up

  • truely evil.

  • I thought I respected Gibson...

    Well I still do, just not as much..

    I think I'll go jam with my Strat ;)

  • Hasn't been discontinued yet! It's going on it's third year. It's crossed Genres from being marketed at a hardcore axe to the new 0'09 Garry Moore signature BFG

  • god these guys suck ass

  • how the fuck did they get featured by Gibson?!

  • The BFG was supposed to the the baddest Les paul to have ever hit the market, and people like Skullkin was the target audience. "Not your grandpa's Les Paul" was a common slogan. However with the BFGs awesome tone the guitar crossed genres, and now for 09 we are seeing the Gary Moore sig. BFG.

  • Gibson have lost the plot.

  • OMG they are worse than slipknot ^^

  • Never thought it would happen...I finally found "music" worse than rap.

  • what the fuck ?

  • Haha!! best comment yet :) this video is fucked..

  • buy the Guitar (Almost Suck! guitar)

  • the band sucks balls

  • lol

  • hahahahahaha this is great

  • I really hope this isn't a real band...

  • to bad it is

  • From what I understand, only the guitar player remains from this group.

  • "BUY THIS GUITAR! ~ONLY FROM GIBSON!~" This guitar is totally awsome but this video make me crack up..... obviously Gibson has a good sense of humor......

  • I laughed so bad!

  • this is there stuff!! go for it ,I'd be more of a peter green fan,but guitars are for all kinds of music !! .i like the p90 !!!

  • great guitar but this song suck!

  • wtf is this?

  • a joke

  • sin das irre ????

  • oh man that really sucked so bad...I mean, The Guitar is in so wrong hands and the vocals suck and it's patchetic to sing about the guitar

    NO, i'd rather put a Skilled Guy on a chair and film hiom while he's PLaying and showing the Features of the guitar insted

  • I've got nothing against the band but I don't like that Gibson would pay a band to play a song about how great their guitar is (doesn't seem too likely that it wasn't written at their request does it)

  • What da f$# was Gibson thinking? Horrible song, horrible.. all... They have better comercials. Anyway, I don´t want a BFG anymore.. jejeje

  • This band is horrific, but on the plus side it does show how versatile the BFG is lol

  • I can't believe they put that wonderful guitar in the hands of these shits!

  • Thats pure shit allright Gibsons losing their mind

  • Yuck! That was a disgrace to music, and to gibson! My 4 year old sister could go "UGH UGH UGH AHH AHH AHH I UGH UGH!"

  • wo, this sucks big time

  • they suck!

  • SKULLKIN FUCKING OWNED NASHVILLE AREA METAL SCENE FROM 2002-2003 I like the music, but not to kene on the vocals.

  • Shitty music. Play some real rock.

  • Wow... I could totally train my dog to play this song... just scream something random like "better guitar only from gibson" and boom... better than these guys...

  • Fucked up gothic band with no soul in their music. A better band shd have been endorsed to promote this kick-ass guitar.

  • agreeeed! what the fuck was that anyway??? was that supposed to be music?

  • agreeeed! what the fuck was that anyway??? was that supposed to be music?

  • Skullkin is a horror metal band, their live performances are really kick ass. But you need to be into this kinda metal to like it.

  • well for me music is all about having fun and enjoy your time and feelin good about it! trust me dude there aint no fun, enjoy and feeling good about that!

  • oh!, is this point where young rock dudes stay today? realy bad shit! - play classic rock or die.

  • i was surprised when i learned that these freaks worship a guitar, and not satan

  • i feel sorry for this guys..and also for gibson :/

  • fuck i hate that Nu metal kind of sound

    im more that old school kind of guy but awesome guitar!

  • Cool guitar. Stupid song/band.

  • very very very bad band and song

    good brand though and probably quite a good guitar

  • Amazing guitar,

    but the band sounds terrible.

  • Oh, and for you chick rock lovers, I saw Hinder's Joe "Blower" Garvey playing a red BFG on the Bad Boys of Rock tour this fall.

    Peace!

  • Skullkin sucks, I make better noises when I got the beer shits.

    anywho, I've owned tons of LPs from Les Paul Customs, standards, Juniors, Specials, and the BFG is the best of them all! BFG owners, become a member of the BFG players page on the Gibson website! Peace and rock-on!

  • You've just made Slash weep with envy. Sell me your "tons" and keep the BFG. No need to thank me.

  • Sorry Bro, Most have been sold. My 70's norlins were mega heavy, and had weak pick ups. My 05 Faded standard, sounded like a strat, The specials with humbuckers were muddy. The only worthwhile Guitars other than my BFG, were my 01 JR, and 92 Custom. But the BFG kicks ass in weight, resonance, and clarity. I could play this guitar forever.

  • I respect that. But (a) the great weight of an old Gibson is considered an advantage (a considerable one), (b) pickups are the major element in an eletric guitar's sound & are made to be changed!! I can't believe you wouldn't be happy with a pair of Bare Knuckle PUs...

  • sounds like the BFG is pretty bad ass to top all of em guitars!!

    considering getting one!

  • That red one looks like a piece of salmon, oh and overall like shit!

  • Not mine! it has such an intese red it looks like shiny blood! Gibson accidentally made mine with a flame maple top! I love it to death! Gibson's pics of the red don't do it justice, looks much better in person.

  • nah they are good guitars

  • Yeah I like the sound and set up my LP has p-90s I just think the finish is ugly I like the worn look but they went overboard I think.

  • yeh the fretts are a little sharp at the end, and its sharp were the binding usually is on a les paul standard

  • wow 0they 0look 0like 0the0 zombies 0out 0of0 resident 0evil.

    undead 0mosh 0pit!!!!!LOL

  • Yes it can chug but I want to hear it's sweet spots too, to me that clip sounded like a lot of compression and digital overdrive. You will have to go a lot further to convince me Gibson.

  • I thankfully still have a brain even though I was just like the muppets in this video head banging their brains out. I would like to hear the guitars true potential but so far the artists that have demoed this guitar have been terrible. That old bald guy chugging away with palm mute and ltd rhythmic capability and then this mush of noise with laughable lyrics.

  • how ironic, or an example of when marketing guys raised on mtv dont understand that the majority of people interested in this (what looks to be pretty good) guitar probably have a level of integrity and even non-commercial musical pursuits..

    the mix is gash too!

    WELL DONE GIBBON

  • actually the brand is Gibson

  • fuck this guitar sounds fucking heavy.

    this fucking music sucks though.

  • agreed

  • What is this shit..? Its not even passable as metal. Or even deathcore or something like that. Its just SHIT.

  • Good guitar.

    But that is some of the shittiest "music" I've ever heard.

  • This is not musicianship! My ears hurt!

  • This video is so bad it keeps people from buying BFGs.

    Gibson if you are not run by idiots delete this video and show more of this great guitar being played by a real guitarist!

  • BFG...Bad Fucking Guitar

  • fuck, this just made me not to get 1

  • Dude, i don't care how bad this is, i suddenly want one, and ordered it (before i saw this, btw).

  • These guys are awful. Gibson's marketing folks should really consider which bands should promote their amazing guitars. This is bad.

  • hahahahaha THE WERST VOCALS I THINK I HAVE HEARD EVER!!!!

  • "Boring Fucking Goths" Muahhaaaahahaaa ! Excellent ! ;)

  • I thought BFG stood for Badly Finished Guitar. Now I know it stands for Boring Fucking Goths.

  • Advice to band:

    1. Gather all recorded material.

    2. Make a pile in a safe place for incineration.

    3. Apply Zippo fluid thoroughly (gasoline will do, too) and light fire. Safe distance from the flame is not necessary for band members. We might have a lucky accident.

    4. After process is complete, return to your day jobs and pretend it never happened.

    (I just saw that 18 brain-dead actually marked this as their favourite...)

  • Sure but check out how many people rated it one star;)

  • too bad we cant rate it lower...

  • holy shit dude WHAT THE FUCK haha BUY THIS GUITAR!!!!!!!!!

    ONLY FROM GIBSON!!!!!!!!!! XD HAHAHA ROTFLOL

  • they all have terrible nosebleeds

  • crossing BFG as a potential new guitar off my list...

  • Poo poo

  • Wow.....I honestly was going to buy one of these guitars until i saw this monstrosity of advertising. I literally am going back to the store and getting my deposit back on it. What was gibson THINKING?!?! Why hire this awful band for the advertising, do you not have players like...DAVE GROHL or Lemmy from Motorhead, or Trent or Josh from QOTSA do a commercial!?!?! Gibson you have lost my money!!

  • this...

    terriblé...

    terrible, awful, crap...

    good guitar though...

  • i love this guitar, and im hoping to buy one soon, but this song doesnt even show 10% of the potential this guitar has.

  • oh shit this is shit.

  • ONLY FROM GIBBSOOONNNN!!!!

  • Really sucks. C'mon Gibson...

  • shit

  • this is horrible

  • this is the most embarrassing thing anyone involved in this will ever do, gibson have whored themself and these bunch of shitehawks have raped metal.

    THE SHAME!

  • listen to those god-awful lyrics. they suck dick.

  • It is a good guitar. I've seen it, heard it and read some reviews about it on magazines. It is ideal for punk and relevant rock styles, and I really like the magnet choice for the neck, but as far as the "raw" image is concerned it seems Gibson overdid it in some spots. Looks almost careless in some, so check yours really close before buying it.

    ...pity Gibson chose these guys... 1 star is too good for them...

  • Is this guitar really possible to create this sounds or maybe even heavier stuff. I would like to buy a Les paul type. But I only play Death and Thrash metal. Could someone tell me if this is a good guitar.

    And yes I think they should create the music a little bit more technical and brutal. and please GRUNT! not crying

  • worst shittt!

  • crap

  • haha am i hearing the chorus lyrics right haha : BUY THE GUITAR, BUY THE GUITAR....ONLY FROM GIBSON, ONLY FROM GIBSON...BUY ONE TODAY hahaahha. gibson i'm disappointed

  • That music was shiiiiitttt!!! God what a horrible band. I cannot believe Gibson would tarnish their image with pure shit. Why smear red paint all over your head? To look like the bloody cunt you are!!!

  • Ey dude I think that that blood will make the band more like it is.

    Look at what Demented are go are doing it's just fun.

    And yes it is not very well music it should be very more heavy the intro is fun 0.30 till -0.40 that's really my style of playing. and that's the reason why i would like to know if this guitar could play some really heavy stuff.

  • I will thanks.

  • i believe you mean design not designs because it truly is one design w\just having different cut away depths and larger "butts" and it may be the most ripped off but it's still just one design, i was simply saying that gibson has multiple design and if you only look at the les paul you're being quite narrow minded.

  • Schecter? Are you kidding, Godin are good, really good.

  • that's embarrasing

  • this is so funny! i think its supposed to be hardcore or something? the vocal recording sucks

  • well they suck but the guitar is so fuckin awesome i whanna have it but they r so expensive

  • gay

  • these guys r retarted

  • worthless sub-humans.

  • I think i just pissed my pants from laughing so hard.

  • god that makes me wanna go burn all those things....

  • This is beyond pathetic. What were they thinking.

  • ...I seriously believe they should pull it from YouTube - it's ruining their image. If I wanted a Les Paul to play really heavy stuff with, I would buy an ESP with active EMGs, and this piece of crap is proving me right...

  • It looks like a bad spoof of Gibson. I can't believe they made - or just REALISE that they made - such a ridiculous video. I tried to laugh a bit but even that didn't work. I gave it a 1 star rating and it thanked me for rating. Correct 'cause that's the lowest rating, and I would give it a -10 if possible.

  • haha, this is from gibson? this has got to be a joke.

  • Nice guitar, shitty music.

  • yeah the music isnt really interesting

    it would have been nice if they used a humbucker in the neck too

    i might have considered buying one

  • funny music but indeed the singer is a bit to soft. he has to grunt not a screaming voice at least that's what i think.

    and what can do this guitar do more. I want a metal guitar with a weird look.

  • wtf???

  • I have to agree with most here...if you want to show what a guitar can really do...it's best not to crank an LP through something that sounds like a solid state amplifier with all of the gain (or distortion) turned up...play a bunch of CHUNKA CHUNKA riffs that can't possibly show a guitar's beauty in tone. A beautiful pickup like a P90 was meant to sing some blues...or some great Beatles tunes, even!

  • total posers..

  • Utter garbage- I have a BFG and I can't make it sound this crappy.....Gibson, you're a bunch of morons at times; especially you, Henry.

  • Absolute garbage. Show someone playing some blues on this plank so we get an idea of what the GUITAR sounds like. I'd tune to Sesame Street if I wanted to hear Cookie Monster.

  • Music sounds OK! But these fuckin' vocals! Skullkin or what ever! Look for a new singer! PLEASE! YOU TOTALLY SUCK!

  • Yeah, Gibson sucks at making a good commercial. This blows.

  • BFG + Big Fucking Guitar?

  • This ad is actually a turn-off to try this guitar, the opposite of what you'd want to achieve =/

  • Looks like a typical Russian or German metal band with no sence of style or integrity. Nothing wrong with having a laugh tho I guess.

  • ...is this some kind of joke...?

    P.S:Fender rocks

  • Yaaaa! I love you. 2 many people bashing fender!

  • Why wont you die! Terrible ad, terrible song, terrible tone! The guitar itself looks alright, Im considering trying one next time im in the shop.

  • everyone involved in this whole product and marketing video should be ashamed...

  • I own a BFG and it is a great guitar. I love playing it and I love how it sounds and feels. It is the lightest guitar I own by far. I actually think the unfinished wood is much more comfortable on my fret hand. Great guitar, but the poeple who made this ad should all be fired.

  • shitty video but i love the BFG, looks gr8 & this bad ass sound rox (intro, but the rest sux)

  • Damn that guitar sounds shit.
