[Faeriepunk23]

Power licks.

Shawn Lane (March 21, 1963 – September 26, 2003) R.I.P

[triofdoom]

10 years later after recording the guitar part on the title track "Paris" on his Powers of Ten album, he plays a live extended version of it starting at 3:30. Shawn always loved Paris, but now I finally get it. Thanks for the post.

[Staplesz]

no words

[SIZZLEBIZZLE1982]

4:53 He sounds like he's sacrificing virgins or something. Unsettling to say the least...

[Juulian83]

BEST GUITAR PLAYER OF THE GALAXY...!!!! PERIOD..!

[philandthelowend]

I... I don't know what just happened.

[Easleytee]

Plaine + Simple...Lane sits atop Mt. Rushmore for electric guitarists.

[Staplesz]

hell

[BombsonBicycles]

my god

[Kingding6]

To quote Ray Hodgeson as he describes Lionel Messi......

The man is simply magisterial.

[Bjornar1993]

5:05 is the most brutal breakdown ever.

[hotrod9983]

am i still alive?

[satchbooggy]

i cant believe my ears every time i hear this. its beyond belief

[guitarfan1979]

110 likes 0 dislikes - speaks for itself

[camus247]

This is why I love music.....period. I always tear up when I watch this because I feel as though I'm experiencing sound for the first time. Powerful beyond adequate words.

[kallelal]

17.298 people just crapped their pants ;)

[yogsothoth2099]

what scale is using in the begining ?

[yogsothoth2099]

fuck , that was better than sex.

[TheHornet79]

@yogsothoth2099 You must of had a threesome with the most hottest women on earth becuase this is insane!

[milleralive]

this song is a statement...

"FUCK YOU, I AM THE GREATEST GUITARIST THAT EVER LIVED."

[smkonwater23]

@milleralive Why don't U go listen to Dave Navarro or someone of that ilk? Shawn Lane would never make or think that statement.

[milleralive]

@smkonwater23

good lord, man... i was just messin' around. take it easy

[smkonwater23]

@milleralive No problems bro, sorry for the kneejerk reaction also..lol..it just came across too strong. The problem with text is ..it's hard to figure out the TONE in which we speak. It's the tone that tells us the emotions in words, which in turn affects how we react. Isn't tone so important then in music too? :) Have a great day..no harm no foul, peace!

[hotrod9983]

seriously wtf was that,I think i slipped into another dimension

[TheHornet79]

PLEASE TELL ME OUT THE KINDEST OF YOUR HEART What pedal did he use at 4:00?

[diggonxedul]

this video is the definition of "soul" in the context of music.

it's like he put three extremely dangerous elements together in one jar and then opened the lid at the end to avoid killing everyone.

[Kingding6]

I always feel a weird sensation when I watch this video, or when I watch Paris...its like Shawn is channeling some omnipotent being through his body. No other guitarist, let alone musician could produce this piece of art

[kallelal]

from 3:30 it chills down my spine every time

[guitarfan1979]

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me"

[UltimateKyle281]

the audience looks like someone took a still picture,

[mohomoho1]

This is fucking scary!!!R.I.P..There will never be another like you

[atomicV1sion]

This is the best use of looping and other effects that I've ever heard.

[glintscollide100]

R.I.P.

[toadfrogblues]

Impressive



[NMCC9999]

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH???

[MrBasilGanglia]

I have to get this DVD.

[mohomoho1]

Had the pleasure of seeing him around 5 times.I don't think there will ever be another like him.Truly from another world.Know one has touched him.He speaks from the heart and not his ego!!RIP

[jbeckforever]

And woah, just saw the part at 4:00. That is supernatural.  This man's command over his instrument is just terrifying.

[jbeckforever]

This song is like a mind trip.

[vqlstojk]

Epic solo.

[maceoxable]

After listening to Shawn Lane I lost interest in listening to other guitarists. Everybody else seems to miss something - sometimes it's the technique, other time the TONE or the emotion.

[TheSlayerLair]

at 5:05 he just saves the world from exploding......

[89fenderplayer]

this guy is amazing , that was totaly amazing , i dont know much about shawn lane but i do know that this was something else , omg , how did he die? R.I.P

[chrook]

So sad

[khushalbhadra]

Yeah man playing with so Indian Classical artists he developed a unique style of playing guitar. He was a genius and will be missed forever.

[fabianidhesona]

the sound of his guitar is like souls screaming from hell.

[Chupertulo]

Amazing, thanks for posting this one.

I'm going to order that DVD right away.

[kallelal]

how the hell could he be so Perfect in his way of playing. I am getting all hypnotized.

[Aurelius27x]

this is fucking godly ... amazing how he could pull these incredible speed runs out of any tone ... lot of tones where others would just say it was impossible... Shawn broke sonic boundaries PERIOD

[gapagonia]

freakin incredible...thanks for posting this

[twirlyboggs]

reminds me of 2nd half of movie renegade

[neoclasiccl]

some of the craziest guitar playing ever. I would like to see someone try to cover this tune LOL. Shawn lane was a guitar god and is so missed. Love ya Shawn R.I.P.

[milleralive]

Shawn was supernatural. Greatest ever, RIP.

[curtique]

who the FUCK!! is this guy???!!i can't pick up my jaw.....

[fallenace99]

is this from the 2001 dvd?

[ziemass]

Yes it is.

[Juulian83]

peolpe can´t believe... is at amazing...musical aura....!

[guitarfan1979]

anyone knows what pickups are these ???

[nickwellings]

Lace Transensors I think. He endorsed Lace for a while.

[Juulian83]

at amazing improv....peace..!

[6xSnake6x]

hello, does this song have a name or is it an improvisation ? It is SO incredible :|

[ziemass]

no this cant be right check the documental video with hellborg and that indian brothers, you can see there there was one dl-4 and a black box beside it..

[ziemass]

He used all 3 of them at once ? wth ? he had a looper thou didn't he

[ziemass]

what effect is that ?? for repeating slower and slower ? delay or looper or what

[beckershred]

I love at 5:06 when Shawn finishes up his whammy bar phrases. It's like going from absolute chaos to piercing beauty! Truly amazing. A once in a lifetime guitar player to say the least.

[lovekurt]

Yeah, I don't know how to word it, but it's like an exquisite timing of quiting the whole chaotic sound. Whether he did with clear tactics or did it unconsciously, such a superb build up music, when he let it go...it's like catharsis feeling ... I'm finding it difficult to be so stimulated by other guitarists after hearing music like this of Shawn's.

[beckershred]

I am in 100% agreement with you.

[oilkills]

The crowd is in a trance...soo cool! AND, I love the way he manhandles his guitar...it's like watching a master pimp keep his ho's in line!)

[oilkills]

GOD DA... HOLY SH...He's too too much... I"m blown away every time I watch Shawn's videos...ALL HAIL THE MASTER!!! rip GREAT ONE... u r misd

[lovekurt]

Shawn looks haunted by something else that is not human being. It is too much. But I keep coming back to watch it, so so so sooo mind blowing!! =D

[jose044]

HOW HE DOES THAT!?

[Soamsey]

I keep returning to this video and whenever I watch it, I literally feel sick to my stomach. This is terrifying, other-worldy playing. Just astonishing.

[ljguitar91]

absolutley incredible

100% feeling

[lovekurt]

Oh my gooness, holy shit!

My left brain drained out of my ears, and I was feeling so much. That was so spiritual.

I'm gonna watch it again.

[nickwellings]

One of the best vids around, mainly because of the ending title.

[LeopardJoy]

not of this earth...god-like

[satchbooggy]

those fuckers are all in a trance.  this piece is moving to say the least.

[jigzo78]

I think that was the most unique and insane guitar performance i've ever seen, gives me a new respect for the man

[MaximusDowns]

that's the best use of distortion that I've seen since Hendrix, you the man Shawn

[nickwellings]

He's using a Peavey Profex which are kind of famed for having really bad disrtion patches. Not that you would know it. I have a Profex too, and I can't get it to sound like this.

[barbeq67]

His profex was custom made with a special EQ he made himself, so its normal you can't get the same sound as him

[jbeckforever]

Even so, Shawn was known for taking whatever he had and making it sound damn good. Its like they say, "the tone is in the fingers, not the amp".

[mohomoho1]

@jbeckforever The tone was in his heart!!

[Soamsey]

Oh my lord you are lost my friend.

[torturer6067]

youre a moron! get lane,hellborg timi is the enemy! best friggin live performance ever!

p.s. lane would when alive eat you for breakfast

[marooned123]

You know Zooj, this guy was playing those blues licks you are talking about when he was 8 years old. If some music was so far in front of you you couldn't see it how would you know it? Meet Shawn Lane my friend...

[immortalsoloist]

Zooj this is experimental stuff learn to appreciate good music when it's there...Shawn Lane is an excellent guitar player and his music has soul as well..I love Eastern Classical music myself and this experimental effort is great!

[gtrgyro420]

Guitars Are Percussion Instruments!!!

[Scratch47]

Oh my GOD.

[Soamsey]

I've been following Hellborg forever and have never adored Lane the way so many others do but this is just plain spooky guitar playing - haunting and absolutely stunning.

[JoJaDaRu]

This DVD rocks, everyone should own it. Shawn, Jonas, Selveganesh... I think it's Shawn's best work (along with Temporal Analogues of Paradise, and Icon). Jonas makes guitar players better!

[baldassaredegenes]

making that kind of sound with a guitar is impossible.

so, these sounds come from his soul. simply.

[lolharbandhar]

Wow, just...wow...

[paslorius]

Shawn LAne Powwaa !!!! My FAv, this DVD 's so great

[mexicanstorm]

i loveee his tone for this.
