Orianthi shreds Michael Jackson

[TheObviousTruths]

look at her left hand thumb -___________- thats by far the worse case of thumb on fretboard ive seen so far.

[ok97ok]

@TheObviousTruths And yet she still plays better than you.

[Brucev7]

And who played Lead on MJ's song, Edward Van Halen. Peace. I have met her, she is sweet.

Joh 14:6

[Victorsan1997]

PRS rules

[TheDaveyboy1984]

erm............yeah..........i­'d marry her

[JRCrowley]

I dig her.

[bitchslapper12]

This is it? Didn't Michael die before it even started?

[evahill38]

@bitchslapper12 He means This Is It as in the movie of the rehearsals

[sportygurlis]

That was EPIC.

I wish I could play like that!

And whoever says she sucks needs to shut up. A lot of musicians today aren't that talented.

[lago4]

I almost jizzed just watching this

[TjSaxbyIsFukcingHawt]

@lago4 i did jizz.

[Geniusderelict]

Omg I wish i stood next to her

[Calvin0135]

WTF?? that tone came from a roland micro cube!?

[x900lbGorillax1]

I would of totally fumbled if someone put me on the spot like that lol!

[disturbtheworlds]

not that I could do it better, but really didn't think that was THAT good, she gets way too much credit I think..

[sublime88sublime]

not bad at all, it was not that smooth though

[monoclevp]

she is really good but the radio guy has obviously never seen a metal guitar solo so he shit his pants. none of that takes away from her skill though.

[DaltonGrados]

Killer tone especially coming from that tiny Roland cube she's got off to the side.

[ewanjohan]

If she were a guy you wouldn't be that impressed.. be honest :)

[celtno1]

@ewanjohan If she were a guy i'd bang him, be honest, dickhead

[ewanjohan]

@celtno1 ha ha ha touché

[littlegirl108]

i love her i only watch his music to look at her and play guitar shes awsome and for people who dont think so go down under!

[ColdVolcano22]

Retarded camera man...

[kill5witchengage3]

she is talented but that solo wasn't accurate at all

[skyy2]

@kill5witchengage3 agree...thumbs up on your comment

[LilMissPoison]

I'll admit it, I am jealous. Go Orianthi, you're amazing!

[carakenio]

She is a good player indeed...

[lewi5676]

imagine that hand work on my di....o.o never mind >.< seems painful xD just kidding she is epic!

[ArcaneMage54k]

My 11 year old brother does that.Not trolling or anything.Just pointing out how awesome my brother is.This chick's pretty good as well.

[lordmorgoth7]

@ArcaneMage54k holy fuck he is a genius upload a video and we will talk about him, but in this video talk about orianthi

[kelbob00]

LOL is all I can say.

[MTViperGTS]

Is that the amp she's playing out of lol - the little red box you see at the end of the video

[mkwlord]

@MTViperGTS yes dude it's a vox. one of the best amp brands in the industry.

[Sammymon123321]

At first I was like :-/ but then I was like :-0

[ArmyRangerish]

how can she make me pancakes with that

[MrJohn091]

she ruined this beautiful solo!

[mamuncify]

I don't know how many new holes she ripped on that guitar...but she's just amazing.

[FatKidCookie]

thats a weird looking kitchen utensil

[jacobnguns]

That's easy

[apolllos7]

She's really great at guitar but she's playing the damn thing completely wrong and it pisses me off.

[SoundborgTheBand]

I just love the fact that she's playing through a mic'ed Roland Micro Cube!!! Little Beast!!

[bojanklesexperience]

What gets me is how amazing her guitar sounds coming out of that little amp.

[ltdslide]

nice !

[JesusYamaha112]

So spiritual, Thanks for your music!

[vOuijaa]

id rail her

[mikeygheetarz]

I use to shred with my vagina, then i took an arrow to the knee.

[DanGiordanengo]

to be honest, this isn't that difficult to play. =/ (insert arrow to the knee joke)

[fairyfellermaster]

@jimmyRHCP Well the "heartbreaker" solo on led zeppelin 2 was really sloppy, all over the place never really amounting to anything or saying anything for that matter & yet people think it was brilliant cos jimmy page played it.

[DBDMotorsports]

This guy wants to get her in bed or something... If slash did it, it would be like oh yea nice... but because its a girl shredding, hes got a raging erection

[mikeymcinally78]

amazing, fuck that he died :/ i was going to that!

[erdinator1]

just bendung like a piece of shit

[nogidavid]

reeeeally off time. terrible

[LuigiTheGuitarMan]

I hate solos than consist entirely of tapping...

[jimmyRHCP]

Yes, people are hating on her... But, all you defending her have to understand where these people are coming from.. That solo was sloppy and inaccurate, now I appreciate someone's interpretation of a track or a solo but this for me is an iconic part of an historic song and she really didn't do it justice.

[dotnetguru99]

Haters to the left lol haha. This is not her only video geniuses lol Go watch some more of them and hate on them. All the while, where can I view you doing a solo? On your youtube channel? LOL

[OhldSchool]

Did anyone notice that this is coming from a Roland Cube?

[JNNSKvidZ]

@OhldSchool

Fuckshit, ur fucking right lols

And its a freakin' small one also

15, 20 or 30x max? lols D:

I got a freakin' 20x and that was basically my starting amp x_x

[OhldSchool]

Orianthi, will you be my hall pass??? 

[metalheadnurse23]

Saw her tonight with Alice Cooper and she kicked ass!

[JUMBOpin]

way to dick eat her...LOL!

[acousticbutterflyz91]

to all those people who are bitching: she just played it really quick for a radio show. in person this girl has excellent tone and rhythm-feeling etc tec. so stfu and enjoy it -.- haters

[apolllos7]

@acousticbutterflyz91 She's not just playing too fast, she's completely putting her own unique spin on the song adding shit to it, and that's what i don't like.

[camodup]

This always rocks, timelessly!



[DeatrusTV]

I hate it when people overly use pinch harmonics their so annoying

[jwildblueangel]

she only gets credit 'cause she's a chick. her tone sucks, and she's very sloppy, she's got no feeling. anybody can play fast. there's a lot of girls, who play a lot better, but don't get all the praise she gets. like samantha fish. she's ten times better. but orianthi played with MJ, so apparently that's some kind of fucking merit. if she hadn't played with him, no one would know who the fuck she is, 'cause she would never get far on talent alone.

[maryandchild]

@jwildblueangel but that doesn't make any logical sense. she didn't just randomly play with michael jackson, she was hired based on her talent. so she actually DID get far on talent!

[Corine1369]

I saw her last night with Alice Cooper and she rocked it!

[TheBisness87]

@Corine1369 So did I! and she did! lol

[zenguitar01]

Yes, very sloppy playing.

This girl has looks, Australian accent, cool name and nothing else.

Please tell me how the hell she is getting gigs with, MJ, Santana and Vai??? Aren't their other good looking female guitarists that can actually play?

[Blipware56]

Lol people in the comments, stop hating, she's a beast and your all just jealous because you she's famous and you're not

[SilenceEmoGirl1123]

@Blipware56 IKR



[JulieMorrisA7X]

@Blipware56 *you're

[molomono]

@Blipware56 Trust me, nobody here who actually plays guitar would be jealous of her fame. They are just virgins with a sexuality complex.

[RayStJohn1]

She's cute and all that...but she not JENNIFER BATTEN and she doesnt play the solo accurately!

[sulutkin]

This is so shit, full of mistakes and out of time and bendings sucked all the time and so on, listen to Ulisses version and you´ll see and hear, how it really played correctly and full of skills, not just young pretty face and cool clothes. MJ wasn´t right guy to choose prof. musicians with his musical talent with instruments like you hear from this woman.

[HaloF123]

It woulda sounded kool, but she played it to fast tbh, it shud be mid tempo not ZOMFG IMA PLAY FAST AS I CANZ  tempo.

[Tropixsun08]

if she was "bad" at playing guitar she wouldn't have made it onto "This Is It". Stop being so negative people, the girl is amazing and talented!!

[Maqoute]

Yeah, Eddie better, but... She CAN practice and learn to play exactly like Van Halen, but Van Halen NEVER can became so pretty cool girl as she is. )

[FarukTheKing2010]

i think that was AWEEEESOME!!!!!

[josuhfeeen]

im pretty sure if michael jackson asked her to be his guitarist then she's pretty fucking good.

[matt37075]

Well that's your opinion, but you have to admit it may not be a sport but it's the only art form where talent is so subjective. So there are bound to be disagreements. Although I'm pretty sure claiming that her talent is over rated is not defining it as a sport just that she is getting more credit for what she is doing than she deserves because of the set of reproductive organs she has. And if you Wanamaker get technical, she's pretty much doing a cover, so there is no creativity either sorry.

[obijuano]

Yeah... she ain't no Eddie.

[Pyromaniac528]

the guy is so fried lmao

[cbarrett34]

Jennifer Baden was a million times better. she was so sloppy on this. she messed up the solo many times

[marksman444]

shoulda been evh himself playin on this is it lol

[MrMetallicaFanatic]

Actually that wasn't that good.. MJ should have asked Slash instead of her !

[xXxJokerBoyxXx]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[Repenning85]

All right. I've been playing guitar for many years, and I've never seen a girl who can play like this. Who cares if she's not EVH? She's got a great look, her tone is fantastic, and she's charming.  I think she's awesome!

Just charming.

[OneSpudd]

god she is so fuckin OVERRATED!

[LookeAnthony]

Not really blown away by the solo, but damn she has sweet vibrato playing the main riff!

[EaglesStir]

Alright. I admit that I can't do it yet, but that was pretty aweful. Off timing, sped up and super sloppy.

[HolyAthiest1895]

people are saying she was bad, but how many of you played with Michael Jackson?

[farahzawawi93]

she is.... i'm speechless...

[rocafella142]

I'm not saying shes bad but that solo she just did really wasn't that hard. IF you want to see amazing guitar playing watch Chris Borderick or Marty Friedman.

[eemoore80]

the thing that's most annoying about everyone hating? you bitches aren't on youtube, are you?? we're not watching *your* lame ass, right? come on. rather than hate on a kick-ass chick, go accomplish something yourself, cocksmokers



[10uge]

was that actually beat it ?

[jaymason27]

It's official.... Krazy krippler is a fat ass thats jealous cuz he cant get a girl and wants to play that solo as good as se did:/

[KrazyKrippler]

Gay. Let Eddie Van Halen play "Beat It" and you stick to your gay little short songs about boyfriends who you never had.

[anippani]

I liked Eddie much better.

[timothyga01]

that wasn't even fast?!?!?! I was waiting the whole video to see her fingers moving fast but wow, these radio guys must be crack heads

[TheChildOfHades]

-______- haters gonna hate potatoes gonna potate.

[ylb1000]

Fcuk this shit ! Let Eddie teach the right way to play it !

[Nostalgia404]

what the fuck was that

[guitaristkenny]

she is such a nice girl aswell!!

[NightmareSnake]

>Sees a performance that wasn't perfect

"THAT SUCKED!"

You're all idiots.

[olix9595]

@NightmareSnake but it actually sucked

[ArmyRangerish]

someone get this bitch a metronome 

[antecresearch]

@ArmyRangerish it hurts being beaten by a blonde girl uh?

[christjan08]

@ArmyRangerish On stage she would have been using in ears, probably with a click track of some sort. so don't rip her on her timing.

[Katymaher]

chill the fuck out people. just because shes not perfect or eddie that means she sucks? im sure 95 percent of you cant do anything close to what she can

[pokerdogZ]

so many other people can play that better in my opinion.

[chadwick0091]

my take on orianthi: if you don't like her, go suck a dick. she rocks

[TheNightmareFan666]

and that is why you dont let women out of the kitchen

[ibanezps10ltd]

If you want to hear a not perfect version listen to Eddie . If not ,then why not enjoy this version ?

[visrant]

Van Halen, would say sorry, that's not good

[crazydavemma]

a bad cover of eddie.

[MrCloudseeker]

I have seen better from her.......But, I think she hated that plug and did that lick just to get away from that dj......She is badass tho.

[TheOnlyLifetime]

guys dont be a hater cuz she's better than you ;)

[PAGEY232]

beginner bendings 

[kahuna3901]

she missed out that harmonic at the beginning of the solo, its like one of the best bits.

[Spunkalish]

That was sloppy as all fuck.

[TheSuhreeuhlTube]

@Spunkalish what?

[Spunkalish]

@TheSuhreeuhlTube I said, that was sloppy as all fuck.

[TheSuhreeuhlTube]

@Spunkalish Are you a guitar player or something, I am and I can't see what was soo sloppy :/ ???

[Spunkalish]

@TheSuhreeuhlTube Indeed I am, but that's beside the point. You don't have to be a guitar player to know sloppy guitar work, just like you don't need to be an actor or director to recognise a shitty movie.

[Wolfboy2712]

@Spunkalish Actually, that was about par if not better than most every live guitarist.

[tmvledzep]

@Wolfboy2712 Chris Broderick would like to speak with you

/watch?v=nqAB11vGM10

[Wolfboy2712]

@tmvledzep He is most definitely not most guitarists. Far better, far more experience. It's not fair to compare him to a a Michael jackson cover

[drskezzer]

John Mayer ripped a better solo in Fall out Boys version.

[TraumaER]

i love orianthi and would lick her from head to toe after a week of no showering but this wasn't as good as many of the best guitarist lol

[Rienzi999]

@TraumaER Well, at least from licking her head you'd have to throw up for sure - unless you like stickin' your tongue through a thick layer of makeup ... but if you're that way inclined ... ;-).

[TraumaER]

@Rienzi999 haha; i don't think she wears that much makeup

[cristiamrissopatron]

♫ ROCK!! ♫♪

[ShortFingeredShreder]

I HATE her vibrato! And pretty much everything else.

[MultiRedhearts]

She's amazing because she was a Michael Jackson fan

[10uge]

just speed not spirit

[youathoz]

why are the both top comments completely opposite? wtf?

[ILYnevershoutnever19]

she's my idol. shes why I play guitar-3

[KingofPho75]

he wants to bang her

[GOFF52]

All you wanna be's dishing this Chick.....She was picked by MJ out of 1000's

so what number Audition were you clowns !!!!!!

[matt37075]

people who dont play guitar = amazed by tapping

people who play guitar = know that really wasnt anything special

[Coalesce1982]

@matt37075

Absolutely right!

[ThePhallystorm]

@matt37075 Ur Right. This Guy is ready to rub one out in the room. Its all good effects too, and of course great equipment. Yeah, She is OK, I'll give her that, but if you practice, and play a lot, anyone can do that solo. When She starts to do Paul Gilbert/ Steve Vai/ Geroge Lynch/ Yingwie solos, then I would say Holy FUCK!!!

[josuhfeeen]

@ThePhallystorm she played with steve vai, he praised her. that good enough?

[ThePhallystorm]

@josuhfeeen Steve Vai would praise a Chipmunk, because he is a Genuinely nice Guy, and has nothing Bad to say about anyone. Don't take my word Josh. 90% of these comments all speak negatively about her playing. Go read the comment. You'll be pretty busy for the next few hours commenting back to each one defending her. G'Day JL

[FecklessCretin]

@matt37075 Isn't that the point of tapping, impressing people who don't understand what you're actually playing? :P

[jkielq91]

@matt37075 I strongly disagree. Any one who thinks that has to remember this is music, not sport.

[hoopsnyoyo15]

i think its hilarious how people are saying that she isn't that good .... wtf ... if michael jackson picked her out of thousands of people auditioning she must be good ... this isn't that complicated of a song to play... and the funny thing is most of the haters probably can't even play one chord on a guitar

[VAMPIRO69FM]

she´s like a 15 y o boy playing. not that good AT ALL!! i mean not for Mj.

[DannyElitap]

oh shut up u haters...!!! she's great n.n!

[kranen1]

Not good. Sloppy, bad flow and the tapping sucks when she's changing positions.

[hoopsnyoyo15]

@kranen1 and i suppose u could do better? 

[kranen1]

@hoopsnyoyo15 Maybe not this solo but for soloing in general I'm better. No big deal to be, alot of people are. If I had some time to learn this solo I would probably do it better though ^^ There's like 50-100 videos on youtube on random people that plays this solo that's better than this.

[rockopolybitch]

@kranen1 lets see you in general then! We are waiting!

[kubyn93]

Not that good.

[twistresist]

marry me!

[Victorsan1997]

it would be eddie van halen x orianthi

[thomasrobinson222]

Pput her up against Alexi from Children of Bodom, see how she goes then..

[TheHybridSlinky]

@thomasrobinson222 Yes......and then put Alexi from CoB against Scotty Anderson (Are you from Dixie, Caravan, etc...)......and we'll see how he goes then! Guitar playing (and music in general) is NOT a speed competition!

[thomasrobinson222]

@TheHybridSlinky I do know that. But I'm yet to find a band that has played as melodic as Bodom's early years. Inactive Messiah's cover of Beat It was great, but some of my favourite music is slow too

[that1stupidkid613]

She only gets this much attention because she's a girl. Yngwie Malmsteen could kick her ass in a guitar duel any day.

[wdwillard]

I've seen her naked.. yea thats the ticket.... shes my wife... ya thats it...

[mrdepaz666]

she is my wife

[ProManUnitedFan]

I think the reason people don't like this is because it's different. I actually quite like it, however I prefer Eddie's version a lot.

[GuitarMasterizer]

I'm also shocked at how unnaturally violent and immature these comments have spiraled into but that just goes to show you to convenience of anonymity. All because of a 1:26 long video that shows something out of the ordinary!

[GuitarMasterizer]

When I become a guitar player (working on it, I'm 14 right now), I just know I'm going to face discrimination of all kinds, from sexism to maybe even racism, since I'm colored and a girl. But hopefully, I can have those ignorant people to thank for giving me someone to prove wrong. To me, proving people wrong is fun if you're trying to show them something positive about yourself. Hopefully, I can help keep progressive rock music alive, since that is what I live and breathe every day.

[Madaxxeman]

@GuitarMasterizer then you must be a dream theater fan! woo hoo!

[GuitarMasterizer]

@Madaxxeman getting there. I saw Jordan Rudess and loved him. I currently love King Crimson, Yes (saw them perform and met them!), Pink Floyd (saw Roger Waters and hope to see him again next year!), Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer (saw Emerson/Lake at one point, and then Palmer with the band, Asia) and Porcupine Tree (saw Steven Wilson with another band, and that's when I saw Jordan Rudess.). :D

[Rick5150]

wow she fuckin butchered that one...someone get jennifer batten on the phone.

[ioanna77insane]

she's greek.......hell yeah

[006sick]

How could somebody don't like her? those people don't know what Good Music is

[ghmasterjj]

DUDE

1:16

[mrtommyhendrix1]

She is brilliant but that wasn't too good

[TheGabbo88]

ora mica per nulla eh. a me piace ma beat it la fo meglio io dai. le altre cose no -.-

[thozgyz]

Rather butchered it. But she is a good player for sure.
