BB King Shreds

[SongCaster66]

Anfangs scheint es zwar witzig aber letztendlich ist es respektlos.

[Peace4455]

hahha its so funny :D im laughing so hard

[joncool25]

this video made me laugh lool, that's not bb king playing looool

[prollymunna]

What makes BB shreads so great is his facial expressions.

[tapPOOH]

sounds like the original

[SurfGreenStrato]

Great vid. I've seen him play at Gent Jazz, Belgium this year. I had my hopes high he would play this one, but unfortunately he went for the classics like the Thrill is Gone.

[larconeptic1]

In Britain we had Les Dawson on the piano, so we get this. Apologies to the literalists in the rest of the world.

[stevenscorfina]

damn diabetes.....

[svantebeaverman]

I like how the tempo gets faster and faster! Hahaha

[Heparoid]

I love his solo !!!!!

[Indium1H]

its completly fake you bunch of morons...

[2JobsStillPoorUSA]

lol BB has a sense of humor. Do you know how hard it is for a musician to play off key like that? It's counter intuitive. 

[dial157]

Параша. USA - dung, crap, shit.

[daddyshome802]

Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves. look at his hands, it obviously not what he's playing, but some may think it is. This is not fair to the great BB King. please tie this down.

[rodrigozuniga45]

The sad, yet funny, thing is that millions of people out there will think that this is BB at his absolute best.

[eyoool]

i dont get it. can someone please explain it to me??

[roadlizard666]

STFU bentley.

[bidong]

This is the other people! :DD

[KristianHyvarinen]

This is brilliant! :DD

[bwilliantbob]

Very very funny - there are some very creative people out there - don't let the thickos ruin your day with their spiteful comments xxx

[BentleyWestfield]

I get the joke, but I think it's a bad joke, in the same class with dead baby jokes. All in good fun unless one of your own babies has died.

[HakuGotStoned]

@BentleyWestfield

so this video isnt funny if you cant play the guitar?

[BentleyWestfield]

@HakuGotStoned

no, exactly the opposite. But just playing the guitar and what BB King does are very different. The heart ond sould that an artist like him (or some of these other folks being shredded) puts into their music makes a song or performance like one of their children. If someone took a video of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech and replaced the soundtrack with grunts and farts, would that be funny? Not to me.

[HakuGotStoned]

@BentleyWestfield

No offense, but I really think you didnt get the joke

[gimpyjwilliams]

@BentleyWestfield your an ifdiot with no humor, yea its really the same as dead babies you cocknocker

[123rushfan1]

2:23 to end fuckin hilarious!

[PEA1010]

Some of these are hilarious. There's definitely a skill to making these videos.

[Mishius6]

This is brilliant, and what makes these videos even more hilarious are the enraged comments by idiots

[Madams1977]

Other Person below my comment

[atheistmayora]

fake

[BradQuinn]

best part 0:45

i place this one 3rd behind ac/dc shreds and santana shreds

haha

[Madams1977]

@BradQuinn My personal fav is Creed "You shit here with me" mainly because I hate Creed so much, LoL

[BradQuinn]

@Madams1977 that's hilarious!

[matewka]

@BradQuinn haven't you seen Paco de Lucia shreding? Original piece is "Entre dos aguas". Watch it. Then see his shred :D Best shred ever!

[MRjasonkent]

I gotta learn those licks!!!

[HorseSpittle]

It's awful getting old.

[HorseSpittle]

It's awful getting old.

[216trixie]

The fastest B.B.''s ever played.

[theflex32]

@JProffitt22389

I knew it was overdubbed...Some of the notes don't even hit at the same time. It was a joke. You must be dumb if you don't pick up on sarcasm.. No possible way even if BB was stoned out of his mind that he would play that bad...

[AlienHorizon]

Sounds like me when I picked up a guitar many many years. Everybody said, "nope this ain't gonna happen"!

[deadenddude]

Haha this is the best one of these i've seen.

[billyfan8305]

I get the "joke"...but since I'm not a BB King fan, this doesnt sound any different to me..........;)

[surana87s]

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ U!!!....,lol!! this is so funny ....

[Nickdiaublow]

ＴＨＩＳ　ＶＩＤＥＯ　ＭＡＤＥ　ＭＥ　Ａ　ＭＡＮ

[germanskhewson]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA­JA!!!!

[thrasher1983]

He had one too many drinks lol

[colgatesmile123]

This is so freakin hillarious.

[JonnyBlahBlah]

I don't know why this is so funny but it is

[jseanson]

watch john william shreds

[jseanson]

for the people that "get the joke" listen to what the bass player does too. hilarious

[basildog007]

Very realistic shreds, very nice. 

[davemacleod]

Pure genius.

[joost1795]

hahaha brilliant xD

[gorillaz111268]

no le veo nada de malo a este video si hubiera sabido que BBKing tocaba asi rascao, yo no hubiera vendido mi guitarra, ajjajajajajajajaja creo que toco mejor

[JonnoThomas]

This one is pretty good I must admit.

[OnlyChaosInTheEnd]

This must be the funniest ''shred'' video ive ever seen, specially with BB king's faces XD .

[MichaelJacksonSpin]

stand up you fat pig

[soltisimba]

billykid84: I am not an "other people." Am am you and you are me and we are all together. I am the Walrus. And Paul is Dead. And, he IS shredding in this video. Does anyone else think the note at 0:46 sounds like a fart? How does he do that? More evidence of his brilliance. Also, more proof this is not fake: at 0:15 you can hear the sound of the mike being moved. Turn up the volume and you will see.

[noobiezFTW]

@soltisimba it's fake you fucking moron...

[fackingbax]

@soltisimba idiot its fake!

[fnatsy]

one of the great deaf musicians

[TheBrainomat]

Entertainment doesn't deal a lot with 'Respect'... did I really read that word further up? Ever been in the industry? And - right, Billykid84, it's not only brilliant, it's fucking HILARIOUS... let the rest listen to Robbie Williams.

[billykid84]

There are two types of people that watch the "shred" videos:

1) People who "get the joke" and realize how fucking brilliant this actually is, and...

2) The "other people"

[offthelinegt]

@billykid84 SO TRUE!! Have u seen the Kings of Leon one? Genius!

[MrRobStew]

This is too funny. I needed this laugh. Thanks!

[MrRobStew]

Yeah it sux, but he's playing with emotion??

[urgepower]

lol i didnt know bb knig sucked that hard. man, he's way overrated!

[harplaya]

I was there... T'was a hell of a show!

[soltisimba]

@harplaya Wow. You lucky dog. Where was this? Don't say California, as i could have tried to make it. Was he as good in person as this video shows? The crowd must have gone bonkers to hear the legend do his "thang."

[harplaya]

@soltisimba Lol, the thing is I was sooo high I don't remember where I saw it. I guess he came to my hometown of Tumbuktu and played that there. Ha, the guy who posted this iconic blues solo asks a question at the end of his vid description. Well FZ was a great shredder too.

[soltisimba]

@harplaya Well, who is FZ? If he is half as good a BB King in this video, I need to put him on my list of "must see." Is he playing in California? Does he shred fast? I like that.

[soltisimba]

OK, everyone can keep throwing stones at me, but I am not the one playing these notes. And heck, I still love BB King. I am just willing to admit he has lost it a bit and maybe you are not!!

[soltisimba]

Fake? Fake? Listen more closely my friends. And WATCH his fingers. This is BB King, albeit in a much older body so he has lost some skills. OK, a lot of his skill. But he can still put so some much into one or two notes than today's hot shredders. I can listen to this over and over and I still get chills down my spine.

[TimoSomers]

@soltisimba If that wasn't sarcastic I just lost faith in mankind.

[HagusYoung]

@soltisimba dumbfuck.

[Panteeeene]

@mika161

I believe I was commenting to a specific person that simply won't believe that this is fake. I'm not an idiot.

[boonehawks]

B.B. has a different face for every note on the guitar ! Watch out if he plays a chord !!

[Fluffie14]

No way man Synyster gates is so much better then this old guy. He plays so slow.

[DaveyKrechtner]

This is one of the best. PMSL! It makes you watch BB's facial expressions even more because the overlaid guitar is so wrong! The fact that he shows his emotions on his face makes it hilarious because the 'fake' guitar notes just don't warrant the emotion - haha brilliant!

[soltisimba]

OK, I will admit it. BB King has lost it. I was trying and hoping to find something in this that took me back to the first time I saw him in 1967, but after listening one more time, it is clear -- he sounds terrible. Why, or why, did someone post this? I want to remember BB as one of the best!

[Panteeeene]

@soltisimba

Just listen to another video! This is fake.

[woland99]

God - BB is really getting old. Sounding like Santana.

[bassplayerford1]

for those of you who don't know what this video is about, it's actually a video that has the music overdubbed with some terrible guitar playing for a humorous video. B.B. King doesn't really sound that bad. if you want to search for other videos like this just type in the name of the artist with shreds typed after it and it will come up if there is one made that's on you tube.

[davidfuckinggogo]

To ( most of ) the people commenting ; Ummmm....are you retarded ?!?

[Archerowl]

2:55 is the best ... this video almost had me on the floor from laughing so hard. Great stuff!

[OsamasInferno360]

I seriously wish B.B. King would never die. He's the person who actually made me stop playing Line 6 Spider IV + Squier Strat crap and doing some actual music.

[cyrano84]

this is fake

search for : B.B. King - Blues Boys Tune

[fazzol]

Yes, he can thank the bass player and the drummer for having a career.

[ParkinsonsPistol]

young people believe that shredding must be so hard that non of our great guitarist could do it.

[soltisimba]

Yet another comment directed to me that I don't know what I am talking about, so I will respond. I am the guy who was lucky enough to see BB King live as far back as 1967. OK, I will admit, his playing has dropped off a bit. But, come on, this is still great stuff.  I will give one more example of his excellence. While I am not a guitar player myself, so I am no expert, at 2:24 he really shreds. Those are hot, fast chords. It like Alvin Lee of Ten Years After or newer school, Buckethead.

[Panteeeene]

@soltisimba

Dude, you're fucking retarded. This is A JOKE therefore, it is FAKE. B.B. King is an amazing guitarist and your ears are obviously shot from too many concerts if you think that this is real.

[soltisimba]

[bobdoles123]

this is hilarious with the people think its supposed to be serious

[theultimatexperience]

WTF. This is the real video. /watch?v=4Ny5ajCn0xw

[AresCassell]

This is real

[jmewo]

Thank you PROGutiarist. THat is what I'm talking about... WHO WOULD FUCK WITH THE MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BBBBB king!!!!! Horribe. Thid is pretty bad. FUck u.

[ProgGuitarist780]

WHO would do this to BB fucking KING... psycho. i hate.

[ProgGuitarist780]

NO.

[soltisimba]

Once again, I must respond to a question about whether I think this is "real." Once again, I saw the man LIVE three times and I know how he sounds. I am beginning to think that today's youth's ears have been ruined by all the rap, hip-hop and Lady Gaga crap so they just can't hear the notes anymore. Oh well. I know he still is great and this video proves it.

[Ignore14]

@soltisimba This video is fake dude. Some guy dubbed over his performance with shit and you actually tried to defend it. Bravo.

[Paradisecity1992]

hah this is so funny ^^

[nezmaster1]

What's great is this is the real video.

[bornbad437]

this is the real video youtube(dot)com/watch?v=4Ny5aj­Cn0xw

[bunchof6]

Jesus, this dude sucks. BBKing is his name? He should not be allowed to touch a gitar.

[Ignore14]

@bunchof6 its fake man.

[Teskjil]

lol, it's just a dubbed version of Blues Boys tune :P

[madhjsp]

This is sad... he used to be so good :(

[Ignore14]

@madhjsp sigh... it's fake.

[StarlitHour77]

You can tell that its not real because that isn't Lucille's tone.

[johannesskaun74]

nice to hear him play something new..

[1Doz]

He's still got it!!

[cast390]

@1Doz LMAO

[Savatage420]

oh man ha ha...i think this is the funniest of all the shreds...great video

[doublearejazz]

man, dis is amazin :-) !

[doublearejazz]

man, thats amazin  :-) - 1 of the best shreds i know !

[Mootime7]

I think his arthritis is starting to effect him. Sad, because he is one of the greatest blues players still alive. You're still the king, you play better than me. Also, fat greasy nigger dicks

[coolman31228]

@Mootime7 its not real... any video with *ARTIST TITLE* and SHREDS follows it... makes these videos to be funny.

[ieiosarino]

@Mootime7 Arthritis? you make me laugh....

[evenmorebetter]

2:27 :D

[dchattin]

Man he is a god

[zero2blur]

i'm laughing so hard my sides hurt!

[kennedy78757]

I think this is the real video or at least from the same show "BB KING Best Solo Guitar King of Blues." I like the Shreds much better of course.

[flyingsquirrel73]

Holy shit...first off..I love all these shred video's that this guy does..they're fuckin hilarious. - Secondly..these people coming on here and writing: "This is fake" and "This is an insult to B.B. King"..are you fuckin serious?..Get a sense of humor and a life.

[fiddlefarts]

tis fake

[luthomdod]

OH PLEASE! THIS VIDEO IS BLUES BOY TUNE BY BB HIMSELF, THIS IS NOT IST REAL SOUND!!! DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS THING! IT'S FAKE!!!

[McCall72]

Good stuff. Masterful performance.

[DocB3Fuzz]

This is bullshit! It is a hoax and an insult to a great artist. Ruin your own music! B.B. has never played this kind of crap.

[kennedy78757]

@DocB3Fuzz That's the point dummy. Take the best guitarists in the world and make it look like they can't play. Is this your 1st Shreds?

[199191]

@Papaagainno lol

[gageman70]

0:40 LOL 

[199191]

@Papaagainno this is bb dude. the audio has been taken out and redone for comedy. look up kiss shreds.

[DerangedRanger1]

The whole band just rules.

[DekuDudeOcarina]

2:24 derp XD

[MrSiubi]

That bass is epic : D 

[kouriichi]

MY GOD!!

What have you done!?!?

Youve ripped not only a hole in the space time continum,

but youve givin me horrible gas!!

[pbonney]

Wow, can't believe how much those five diabetic strokes have affected him. Wow. Lol :)

[gargano3000]

this old cunt is shit!!!!!! i wud rob that nice strat off him

[gargano3000]

@Panteeeene irony

[kaptenmax]

hey what the hell, this guys is terrible cant believe he's famous

[luxfair]

ROFLMFAO

[wnfcjkenvfj]

is it just me or does 0:47 sound like some1 farting?

[widepass]

Anyone that have a TAB on this solo ?

[billykid84]

@widepass You need to learn to play by ear, son...

[widepass]

@billykid84

I do play with my ear because i hate picks!

[billykid84]

@widepass What the fuck does your choice of plectrum have to do with whether or not you "play by ear"?

[widepass]

@billykid84

I play "with my ear" i don't use a pick !

[billykid84]

@widepass Ah, now I get it! Touche...

[unregalito]

This is proof that he's not that much of a live musician. I've seen him live before, and it was even worse.

I didn't care, because it was only a support act for Justin Bieber, so...

Have a nice day!

[Krooksbane]

This one is Amazing

[jaylogic]

hahahaha...just love these shred spoofs. the timings actually pretty decent ...am still laughing at it as i type though

[johngoo343]

very creative :)



[Rewydush]

Geee...how much did he have to drink before this gig anyway?

[VodooGuitarist]

dam anyone got tabs?

[crackfarm76]

hahahahahahahaharoflrofl.....t­his is so brilliant, gave me a belly laugh.

[razorette1]

Yeah BB still got it.

[zzebowa]

This is very funny. The ACDC one is good too, Hamster Truck! Ha ha, the guy who did these is a comic genius!

[ZturdfaceZ]

at least the bass player and drummer managed to keep a steady beat

[shredderpoipoi]

@ZturdfaceZ

thanks for them

[JFguitar22]

this is so funny ahahha......people who don't realise this is a joke are a little stupid

[Nazareeni]

His facial expressions make my day

[merrilltim]

God these shred vd crack me up. I hope the artist enjoy them as well.

[SHEMAMAN]

This is perfection in the art of da piss take. A* on it's way.

[tardmongoose]

He sucks so bad i knew it!

[slash7934]

@soltisimba-I really hope you're joking

[Pala16123z0r]

Hahahaah! xD

[boxingin]

Some of these shred videos are just plain stupid. But some like this one are pretty funny.

[Jnkeps]

Wow i didn't know he sucks that much . Fuck this guy what a noob .

[cumulo25]

@Jnkeps It has a track of someone playing badly put over the video, retard. It's called a joke retard!

[Jnkeps]

@cumulo25 noooo this sucks :)

[JFguitar22]

@Jnkeps are you stupid ahaha this is a joke moron

[Jnkeps]

@JFguitar22 my comment was a joke...fucktard.

[soltisimba]

I got yet another question about whether I realize that this is dubbed. Once again, I was lucky enough to see BB King in 1967, 1971, and one more time after that. This video makes it clear, he has not lost a thing. OK, maybe he has gained some pounds, but his guitar playing remains sterling. So, no, I don't think it is dubbed or messed with in any way. He is still the KING!

[djtino04]

@soltisimba See:shreds, st.sanders, etc;

@soltisimba hhahaha seriously???? bb king and his
