TOP 5 - Worst Guitarists Ever

[MrTommySullivan]

The singer on Comfortably Numb nearly brought tears to my eyes. What a disaster!!! Somebody somewhere told the poor guy he could sing.

[soldfresh]

Number 3, the whole band pretty bad. Singer is out of tune, the basist seems to be struggling playing one and the other should try play the triangle instead.

[guyroeeandbuzi]

the fred durst solo is such a classic



[lee250893]

Most of them are better than me =(

[orphinoftheworld85]

0:59 ....thats not a sandwich?

[Bllackguard666]

Ouch...my ears!

[coyoteheadcollective]

Those first two are a great example of how speed does not equal good guitar playing.

[Jensiron2]

Fuck me, Wayne doesn't deserve holding a guitar..

[livewiresixx220]

i love it in the third one where he tries to play comfterbly numb then when he starts thats guy starts laughin

[jublywubly]

You need to add me to this list. lol

[113USMC]

Mike Lerner strangely reminds me of Chris Broderick if he got hit in the head... HARD.

[zzzzzushi]

so these guiatars arent tuned right?



[iversonmatthew]

OMG I just vomited a lil.

[MrROFLKNIFE]

Dissonance at its finest

[l33matau]

thank god im not on this list!

[Jman9800]

1:23 I think that guys hands have become comfortably numb.

[l33matau]

where is kirk hammett?

[deathacus]

behold the arctopus rules.

[Jack69Flash]

who sells a guitar to lil wayne? facepalm

[alebazz89]

Ahah cool video. But you should look for "Richard Benson - Awesome Solo", he's the "king of trash guitar"!

[nikkolei]

one thing i notice about lil wayne is when hes playing his guitar.....hes on his own world now

[nikkolei]

number 3 Sober Rednecks..

[louping111]

c'est un gag ce classement ou quoi ???

[slayer213shadow]

i think freds durst takes the cake and all the idiots that were cheering....SPIT

[Reckhem]

ahhhhhhh had to stop after 23 seconds could not take it any more

[FutureBroadway1]

Is number 4 a guy or a chick?

[gofuckloser]

#5 was pretty good BUT WTF IS THAT 12 STRING BASS???

[mrplavick9]

OK - 4 and 3 are amateur videos of (bad) amateur guitar playing. Lil Wayne and Durst are not really even guitar players. BUT... 5 is on a video set, with clip on mikes, lighting, high end instruments and obviously those guys spent a lot of time shredding in their mom's basement - yet all that gets them is top billing in the top five worst. Oh the irony!

[probassistNOT]

@mrplavick9 You have to know the line between technical wankery and music. Behold The Arctopus is just,quoting a comment from some Monumental Torment's vid "overtechnical useless dogshit". Those sweeps are horrible and chromatic. But yeah,their technique is pretty facemelting.

[niabwerd]

if someone like frusciante played number 4everyone would be liek OMG ITS SO FULL OF EMOTION

[jambosuss]

I could do worse

[djgpk]

why do people hate behold the archtopuss

[dtpiers]

The dude in the red dress is awesome. Sounds just like me. :D

[splendid696]

Jebus fucking rice, this is as bad as it gets.

[MrTheoEdjettSpectrum]

HE, dont say one bad thing about number 5!!! That song is actually pretty impressive if you hear the full band play! its like Prog-Metal (does that exist???)

The rest is shite... nevermind, nevermind, nevermind... strum strum powerchord... THANK YOU... lol just like kurt cobain!

[iwatchvidswiththis]

@MrTheoEdjettSpectrum ...... OMG YES PROGMETAL EXISTS. Look up Dream Theater, Between the Buried and Me, Coheed and Cambria, Scar Symmetry, and Opeth.

[MrTheoEdjettSpectrum]

@iwatchvidswiththis Yeah, thanks, I realised after I posted this! Lolz, prog will always be ahead of our time!

[sanfranPinkFloydfan]

thanks for the confidence booster! :D

[hirolovely]

Oh!!!! I just got today. I'm not too bad guitarist.

[emptyradio1]

The funniest part is noting at 1:42 the guy has a tuner attached to the head of his guitar.

[daltonplaysthesax]

the first song is way better with drums in it.

[ADRNGZA]

Number 3 is a redneck singer :D

[25or6to4rock]

Lil Wayne is an idiot

[chunkyboy90]

pfffft, I suck way worse than these guys.

[TheChanneldejavu]

lil wayne what a piece of garbage...He even sucks in the studio version thats just beyond sad...

[chromaticking]

dave gilmour would have had a heart attack if he heard 3 terrible

[MaxPayneIzRudog]

Bitch please, I am worse.

[Headslaught]

fred durst wtf he can suck cock.

[bcrava182]

Guh...little Wayne you piece of shit...

[eklypse69]

Lil Wayne is listening to Vai on his headphones, and thinks he sounds like that on his guitar.

[jublywubly]

@eklypse69

lol Hip Hop sucks!

[Carlovfx]

@jublywubly no it doesn't, it's just very difficult to find good one.

[sombi0007]

also lil wayne thinks he can play the guitar hahahaha!

[Mathieu140297]

74 people are awful guitarists

[MrTroutguy]

you can express yourself 1000 ways playing one note, or express yourself one way playing a thousand.

[runescapeverslaafd]

I am number 1.

[GriefSmilesUponUs]

Number 3 gotta be the worst Comfortably numb cover ever.

[metalforass]

un mono con guitarra hahaha

[alexandrosfunclub001]

the band 3 is in slow motion XD

[DrewDunham]

There is a difference between making technical music and a making technical music with an actual rhythm and on beat,

The first people sound like their just showing off

[asdfcrow]

people don't realize that mike lerner was joking.

[Rawk4Life]

@asdfcrow No he was not joking. He and the bass player were playing a drumless version of Behold the Arctopus' song "Alcoholocaust."

[asdfcrow]

@Rawk4Life Correct, but mike lerner is not terrible

[astonbrock]

I think the second guy, ie '#4, worst solo ever, is awesome...

[19bluesman87]

you might reconsider the N 5, that's pure genius

[bugeraboy]

i ask a question! how can they play in front of thousand people whithout know to play?

[asd36f]

1:39 - singer is thinking "How did this no-talent get into our band?"

[zackgerczakprojects]

i loved number 4

[klootzakappel]

number 3 not sure if worst guitarist or worst singer.

[wolfdenied]

cochinos!!!

[genesisjazzzz]

I DO IT WORST!

[7thDayAtheist]

What does Durst yell out after he messes up, "San Dimas High School Football Rules"?

[2011AeonFlux]

He gets extra points for bad style cause he's Little Wayne. OMG though these are all very bad, good list - How do these people stay famous beats me?

[2011AeonFlux]

5th one wins, Little Wayne Sucks!

[coxychazz]

5 was sick



[Johnobscene]

You do know that fred durst was making fun of someone in that vid right?

[willeng84]

I can't really see how 3 and beyond can beat number 4. WOW

[bigd6ful]

#3 was painfull to watch

[scubarulz]

@bigd6ful Yeah, it was so painful that it was ROFL hysterical!!! Dave Gilmore at 85 years old will sound better vocally than this jerk in #3!! I couldn't get past the horrible vocals to even listen to the crappy guitar playing!!

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

I lol'd at #3.

[scubarulz]

@TheCreepsAreAlright Sounds like vocally that lead was uncomfortably high on Whitney Houston's Big Pharma supply!! lol.

[cliffburton534]

So does no one else think number 4 is buckethead back when he was in high school?

[splintercellchicken]

when fred durst showed up it became the top worst musician's list

[corybiro]

number 5,,yr crazy,u ever heard him really play,

[ovguy2k]

dude dude im sixteen and im better than all of them

[TheLionMan123]

Mike is still a 'lerner' and always will be...

[Mattowarrior777]

# 3 rules over them all!

[Khaddar]

Is that Henry Kaiser at #4. Sounds just like him...

[BelowZeroDigital]

The singer in the 3rd one.. sucks the most.

[MParseface38]

lil waynes sweep picking is impressive

[smeltedcheese]

lol

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

2:35

Yup, that sure is metal.

[cossedge781]

the first kid is ok he's just one of those douchebags who's to busy showing off how fast they can play scales to write good music

[pignugent]

@cossedge781 No way. There's clean and fast. Then there's what he was doing. Moving your right hand as quick as possible while hitting any random note on the fretboard.

[meddelhed]

@pignugent Listen to the recorded version. The song is "Alcoholohaust" by Behold... The Arctopus. It's actually pretty awesome

[MrAxelTrouble]

@meddelhed The bass in that is insane. Not something I would want to play myself, but something I can respect for sure.

[pignugent]

@meddelhed I've seen them do some things that I can totally respect. They have skills, but I can't stand harmonizing to the minor 2nd.  That sound is just awful and should only be used VERY scarcely. It was very sloppy playing.

[DrFrankensteam]

This whole thing is 'freaking hilarious! I want tabs from the dude wearing the red dress..hahahah!

[TreyTheMaleScreamer]

better than i can do xD

[benzesp]

shit sandwich

[TheUnicornslayer]

These guys are trying to sound bad..... Hopefully

[maciverandy]

who the fuck needs an 85 string bass?

[sonsofmosiah]

@maciverandy Reminds me of Spinal Tap. "These go to 11."

[dethbymagix51]

@maciverandy It's called a chapman stick.



[Samyaza69]

@maciverandy we

[Correder]

@maciverandy Im sure you dont know about instruments. That is not a bass ¬¬

[maciverandy]

@Correder what is it then?

[jtmcneil90]

@maciverandy that's because metal heads have an inclination to think "hmm, i suck. gotta have more strings!"

[Lihapullamies]

@maciverandy It's a chapman stick, not a bass.

[maciverandy]

@Lihapullamies So are you saying that you are not essentialy playing the bass when you play the "chap-fag stick"? Because he appears to be playing a bass-type style on it. Go play with your chapman stick you fucking music snob!

[katexpero2]

@maciverandy shut up... I ITS NEED A BASS WITH 6 STRINGS OR 5? 4 IS ENOUGH... WHY IS NEED A BATTERY WITH THOUSANDS OF THINGS.... WHY IS NEED A PIANO WITH THOUSAND OF STRINGS INSIDE.... WHY AM I TALKING WITH YOU?? xD

[maciverandy]

@katexpero2 its puts the lotion in the basket!!! why is need you?! WHY IS NEED?!!! NEED IS WHY!!! WEEEEEEED!!!!

[katexpero2]

@maciverandy loooooool

[ctyuang]

The laughter at 1:21 is EPIC...

[scubarulz]

@ctyuang Yeah, thanks for noticing that!! I think hands down that's the worst cover of a clasic song I've ever heard! David Gilmour's ears would start bleeding if he ever heard it. That laugh was great! Forget chunking tomatoes at them, they deserved a whole freakin' vegetable stand hurled at them! LOL!!

[pjsurf9]

HAHAHAHAHAHA LIL WAYNE WTF

[grooping]

Not that good really

[WillieVMW]

3:00 f*ck this sh*t, I'm a gangsta



[wkunderwood2003]

funny!!

[TheGrooveYardShift]

Number 4 fucking kicks ass, like what mars volta would be like if it was made up of moms

[bendesmond66]

@TheGrooveYardShift i was gonna say, like if that person was in a psychedlic band or something itd be kick ass

[MCLR1990]

@TheGrooveYardShift ROFL....YES

[Oliveirex1]

1:20 somebody in the audience demeaning the guitar skills of the gentleman on stage!

[eurojammer47]

where is RICHARD BENSON??? LISTEN TO THEM!!!

[EtruriaChannel]

@eurojammer47 Richard Benson when he was in "Buon vecchio Charlie" kicked asses!

Penso tu sia italiano, quindi ti dico di andare a sentire i Buon vecchio Charlie, la vecchia band di Benson, direi che spaccano molto, dopotutto facevano prog-italiano, the best! Poi se non la pensi come me va bene uguale.

[Mattowarrior777]

aahhhhhhhiiiii have become comfortably numb. Damn that band rocks

[JoshuJak93]

my god.. 

[deadfordays]

this is hard to watch its making me feel like i suck. like im gunna quit jammin or something... like a nightmare

[MrGODsmack1234567]

im 14 and can play better than them

[toejam498]

they are all learning, give them time... and that includes dude with shitty yellow ibanez. who's all over the place in every key.

[LedSatriani]

Lil Wayne is still better at guitar than he is at making good music.

[DaisukeMoriyama]

How do you not like Behold... The Arcopus? The video is bad because there is no drummer. I mean seriously.

[heavypizza]

nearly as cool as nigel tufnell............

[stupidmonkey151]

I love it how Lil Wayne had some of the best guitars ever made and can't hold them right.. -.- and he plays TWO notes. Big deal

[majkel052198]

i like it how lil wayne got some cool guitars but he cant even play lol. i played master of puppets intro (full speed) with an acoustic

[MasterofKnees]

@majkel052198 Master of Puppets, even on a acoustic, is easy pie.

[majkel052198]

@MasterofKnees true but not so easy when you play 3 montsh (at that time)

[MasterofKnees]

@majkel052198 I don't know, my first year of guitar playing was on a acoustic, so I'm quite used to playing fast on a acoustic, so maybe that's why I think it's easy.

[majkel052198]

@MasterofKnees true but i had a supppppppa shit half size acoustic. even an experienced guitar seller told me its shit

[outpapa]

#5: eatch one was playing differents songs.

#4: ...

#3: the guitarist was sleeping, and the rest of the band too.

#2: please man keep singing and drop the guitar on the floor.

#1: yes lil wayne THIS is a guitar, a GUITAR ! So put it down and take your micro instead.

[oysterlovers]

Is number 4 supposed to be Blinded by the Light ?

[beeroosterm]

#3 - Sounds like Johnny Winter these days. Sadly, I'm not kidding.

[JonnyInfinite]

3 - worst fail ever

[beneaththeroses]

when are people gonna learn that speed ISNT talent

[Bratschelhoff]

5. inspiration of King Crimson

[K0kevproductions]

It's funny number 3 when he started playing thy started ltao

[EvilStoner15]

fret noobs

[alexrb1000]

lmao the concentration on lil waynes face.

[TheSpoonwood]

.... Fred Durst still getting dissed after 20 years of getting dissed, it's gotta hurt.

[plzBSirius]

I wish people would stop making fun of Fred Durst. He is awesome.

[ludd911]

They all play better than I do. Which is just sad really.

[ricksto87]

I fail to see how #5 is technically amazing. All I heard was dissonance, shoddy sliding and jumbled twanging.

[Kinjutsuu]

@ricksto87

Same here. Well just proves how little the top comment guys know about guitar himself.

However #5 doesn't belong to this list...

A fail-shredder, but definitely heard worse

[MpchermidafilhoA]

@ricksto87 The guy is like a guitar wanker. I kinda liked #4 though (not the solo by itself, but the idea of a heavy solo in a soft song).

[adob2]

#4 looked like they were having a spasm attack or some kind of fit

[SwamiOrchestra]

The 1st ist a genius ... the rest ist shiddy.

[xD00mxx]

Does Lil Wayne know what a pick is? :P

[mrfish4lyfe]

#4 kinda sounds like a nels cline solo with wilco

[SleazeSandwich]

#3 needed to rehearse for another fifteen years at least.

[fireball676]

lmfao

[ragerpez]

dude wtf behold the arctopus are actually great you should listen to them properly

[K0kevproductions]

Gawd numbers 3 n 4 were bad

[damnonii]

#4 is a Hendrix acid trip going on. Unfortunately without Hendrix.

[draconite3]

0:40 is that a rockband guitar?



[Diannesommerfeld]

@adern1111 except David is still very much alive...

[adern1111]

@Diannesommerfeld I know. It is immense happiness that he does.

[samio23inc]

@adern1111 david gilmour isnt dead
