Jason Becker - Black Star (Highschool, 1986)

[wpsracing108]

Annihilating the guitar at your High School concert = every guitarists first unrealised dream, Beckers reality!!

[imtormentor]

Neoclassical guitar with a leg over your arms

[cameroncrucificial]

somebody should shoot that principal

[smithdsmit]

I remember when i first watched this.I thought this guy is great"I wonder if he ever made it big"?I did some searching found out he did.searched further and then heard of his tradgic battle with lou gerrigs.It sucks. such a great talent and.not that i knew him but from videos ive seen he just seemed like a good kid

[BoBz013]

Bless you, Jason Becer, you fucking god.

[RonnieJamesDio12345]

Who else was watching the black guy's in the back most of the time for their reactions? lol

[MasterofPuppetz234]

Pfff. Jason Becker. Who's the black guy playing the bass?!?!?!?!?!?

[gameplyr92]

im guessing he came out the womb shredding

[IIIFrenchyIII]

HAHAHA none of you kids know who this guy is?

[Liturgyofwar]

Damn, terrible bendings.But I guess its ok since he was so young

[spheremaster90]

I can only imagine how much pussy he got after this

[skins14]

one of the dislikes is from the principal.

[Taika260]

this guy had the potencial to become the greatest of all time

[PRiscool]

the Gods were envious of such beauty...

[Likeyoucare]

He was my age when he did this. I can't play the song even with tabs. He's too damn good.

[juggletrouble]

I'm pretty sure the principal doesn't come back because his face melted.

[namzop]

Jason Becker gives me a reason to live!

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

in friggin highschool and hes better than me.

time to practice!

[zakk84]

I like this cover better than Malmsteens version just my opinion though.

[lobyte]

ishe playing a fender in this clip?

[bergAgreb]

i wonder how many chicks he screwed at that highschool

[Skiz0id]

@bergAgreb All of them.

[Ik9a0]

@bergAgreb Not sure! He's playin' with the female reducer (gain) way up. But he's Jason Becker so probably all of em! :D

[bergAgreb]

@Ik9a0 lol female-reducer, so true, 3 power chords on acoustic guitar = panty drop

[thestrugglewithin]

Everything comes at a cost, case and point; Becker.

[Googopqp]

Becker could play a guitar without strings and make it sound amazing!

[yootesa1515]

genius a true underrated genius. you are an inspiration, is he playing black star ? awesome

[metalmilitiapeter]

:30 guitar lick in your face

[charvinaldo]

absoultely in every way to the highest degree beyond all measure...Badass.

[Kagehelvede]

I can just imagine going onto the stage, having to follow that. Ghostly pale and then starting chanting "Jimmy cracked corn and I don't.. Oh what's the point..."

[gotmayhem]

How in hell did that auditorium not explode? Way to be Jason, I mean, way to be God.

[robibm2003]

The thing that sucks about this is that the tepid applause gives away the fact that the lamers in the audience had no idea just what kind of insanely ridiculous musicianship Becker was showing off. God, people are clueless.

[godparticles1]

@robibm2003

YEah ITs just like in Back o the Future when Marty says your kids will like this and he goes onstage

[catastrophyTV]

would hate to have to follow that

[mx4l91]

beter than yngwie in my opinion.. just because of Jasons style of playing..

[bottomfeedar]

He actually does turn it down dude !

[pedcie]

bet he had alot of chicks back then like really alot he's dead fuckin awesome

[bottomfeedar]

LOL like the teacher dude telling him to turn it down at the start, thats funny .

[spacedementia2008]

yeah especially since he reaches over and turns it up a bit more right after

[MrRhoads23]

SHUT UP STUPID COMMENTS AND LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !

sorry..

[aaa8181]

is this before he got famous?

[FTFTV1]

yes, this his high school's talent show

[jplas1]

damn i bet the girls were all over him

its such a shame he has ALS, he has so much talent

[benjie616]

Thumbs up if you love jason becker!!!!

[coffinfeeder2007]

black dudes in the back laughing, they are like he sounds like prince lmao

[Jagguar20]

Cool, a highschool that allows long hair :P. J.B. Will always be the best!

[J0hannski]

Your schoold doesn't allow long hair? Whaaat!? It's illegal for schools to have dress codes in Finland.

[Redlabel0]

@J0hannski Fuck i would love to live in Finland

[J0hannski]

No, you don't. It's so fucking cold here that you would freeze your balls off 5 seconds after getting out of the airplane.

[ruffles272]

cause we totally care about your countries dress code laws.

[J0hannski]

Jealous? I think so. You're jealous because you are forced to have short hair. So you can't hide all your pimples, yellow teeth, braces, the boogers smeared all over your face and the earring that you have on your right ear. I bet your're sad because you won't get any chicks to suck your tiny cock.

[ruffles272]

Way to flip out, Dumbass. Oh and my school doesn't have a dress code.

[J0hannski]

I didn't know that they let you dress like a fucking nazi in catholic school, you bible thumping prick.

[ruffles272]

where did you get the idea that i was a catholic from?

[J0hannski]

It's obvious.

[ruffles272]

I'm non-religious actually.

[J0hannski]

That's exactly what your channel says.

[ruffles272]

lol i put that on my page as a joke a looonnnnnggggg time ago.

[J0hannski]

The fuck you did. You probably fill bibles with semen everyday.

[ruffles272]

I'm confused as to why you're trolling.

[J0hannski]

It's not trolling, it's a fact.

[ruffles272]

Alright well, I'm going to stop replying. You win, I really don't give a shit.

[RadioactiveSpaceman]

wtf was with that fight??? hahahahaha

that guy is stupid

[J0hannski]

Attaboy.

[FTFTV1]

are you serious?

[Jagguar20]

Yes sir, we must wear a stupid ass uncomfortable uniform and have short hair. I wish I was scandinavian lol.

[FTFTV1]

wow thats stupid as fuck. what country are you from?

[Jagguar20]

Mexico, but it's a catholic school so maybe that's the "reason". You know how catholics love to ignore logic and do stupid ass things lol.

[crazybacon13]

nice under the leg move hahaha

[NreeKelBastardos]

I love clips like these..... complete with the dorkstick music teacher (no offence to him) telling him to turn it down... and Jason bending down pretending to adjust the amp... he doesn't even touch it! Love it!

[87piojo]

genial cover

[TheIronHayden]

Awesome a little sloppy but kinda hard to play with your leg over your arm lol

[CobHatecrewNor]

Cool i never noticed but i think he`s playing on a small Peavey guitar-amp.. wonder wich model

[speedcheese]

its a peavey pacer, i have the same amp

[randy0987]

he's very talented, but what an annoying song

[ToXin88]

His technique was so great, even at this time.

But I wondered why his bendings were still pretty sloppy?

[PalleSchultz]

Now thats funny, the principal tells Jason to turn down the volume, and then Jason pretends to turn down. Oldest trick in the book :D

[JordanKVW]

That was hilarious lol

[Stisy1992]

when did he start to play guitar?

i have played for two years and im gonna try to learn black star now:P

[jobFORjose]

when he was 5

[Hoshang2]

The principle looks 100% like Hitler hahahah

[J0hannski]

Haha, you took the words tight out of my mouth.

[Johnoooh]

bach of the electric guitar.

what a virtuoso. IN HIGHSCHOOL !? .

im in highschool i play guitar and this is enough to make me give up .

[hiimbobo]

lol i love how the prinicpal asks him to turn it down and he just starts shredding in his face

[ACDCrocks822]

well its a cover song, he can play it however he wants, and considering how godly he is at guitar u dont even have an opinion in the matter

[akgj]

wow , and he's just playing around here

[SlashYourFug]

I love that he does little tricks to try to impress, when the guitar playing alone could impress anybody.

PS: With new research in gene therapy, ALS may be curable within the next few years.

[JordanKVW]

How badass would that be if they cured him and he came back even better than before!

[pipojan]

that would be so awesome

[J0hannski]

If that's true then It'll be a pain in the ass for Jason to relearn his playing.

[Maktrech]

JB rox forever. nobody is better than he was.

[NeoBarockLoki]

For this video, just like any other J.B. video or anything that is related with him,I only say one word : WHY ? (I respect him very much)

[Crazymanfein]

That fucking asshole teacher/principal has some nerve asking Becker to turn it down. If I were Becker, I would have 11'd it

[alagoetz]

he looks like flanders man:D

[Noahsyc]

How can anyone say this is amature playing? This is nothing short of proffesional.

[bikuxan]

seko wn

[hitmanarya]

the guy at the back at 4:02 looks like hitler!?

[NeilSchuttman]

Look at the moves his doing around 1.01. Fucking Blackmore rip off. Ha, ha..

[dudtonNE]

ii love the black guy at the bak at 3'40

[bassdream]

the bassist of the video is the best hahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha lol!!!!!

[1bkukid1]

Well considering most poeple are looking at tabs to learn the songs nowadays. He didn't have that, and whats wrong with chaning the key of a song? Any real musician would know thats nothing wrong, personal prefrence if anything.

[IbanezLk]

jason becker get well soon : (!

[pedobear876]

lol its funny, because he has an uncureable disease

[IbanezLk]

no shit you fucking god damn ignorant cunt go walk into uncoming traffic or drink drain cleaner or somethign and do the world a favor. and its not funny . the sooner you die the sooner world peace will come into play . i cant belive i never noticed this comment reply .

[steve51865]

pedobear876 - You have a unique talent for pissing people off whenever you make a comment or open you mouth. Judging from the comments left on your channel, you must be very popular with lots of friends. Ha! Hopefully you are truly not as miserable and full of hate as your seem. If so, I feel sorry for you.

[jmc8197]

Obviously in love with himself lol

[pedobear876]

he was doing a good impression of yngwie

[zyklonops]

how old is he there??

16?

[cdavis38]

becker is amazin. nuff said

[TMUSICIAN]

Lol! how this guy became a guitar god years later? Sorry Becker's fans, but he was dammmmmmn rookie when this video a was made. Sorry, sorry, sorry! I should give 1 star, but I wont, in respect to the fans(including me) !

[Shiberoth]

Sounds good in that key.

[selby06]

I bet that brought out the principal.

[andyd212]

God doesn't like people that wear their guitars high.

I'm going to hell for that one =(

[bornaaa]

dude , i dunno u , and im not interested in knowing u but i know one thingggg , this guy got the best award for bein the best guitarist at the age of 17 , thats motherfucking SICK AND HUGE and hes played guitar since he was 5. i think he knows more guitar and theory and all more than all the ppl on utube comebined , so lets jus all shut de fuck up ahaha

[kranen1]

Haha yeah XD But there's no such thing as the "best guitarist" :P They're good at different things and has different styles. Becker was great though, but this was a little bit sloppy :P

[stevevai87]

(Nacho voice) he's good... really good

[gusathler]

Jason Becker = God

[SimonHenrichsen]

Jason Becker is the motherfucking shit! He's proof that there is a God and that God is a fucking dick!

[DaveDenver]

wow, you're a faggot.

[hippogriffo1]

wat i think he meant davedenver was not JB wa sa dick but actual god for giving him ALS and i am so with you simon thats some fucked up shit someone so awsome and talented cant even pluck a string now a damn shame

[chafloque]

Eres gay?
