Shredder Search Winner

[01HardcoreMusic]

Badass solo!!

[kvkop]

Flawless continuity. Well deserved.

[dugrey91]

I had no idea Bill Nie the Science Guy was so good at guitar!

[BooshkiiBomb123]

nice dean i mean ibanez

[dirtydonki]

Rigged. Ed works for fuckin Dean. Besides he's fuckin receeding! LOL

He can rip that fuckin axe though can't he.

Congrat's deserved!

[AldridgeHalenFreak]

We should show a little class and congrat Ed. We should also thank some of our metal heros for even giving us a Dean shred contest. I wish Dean would do this annually, but with this feedback and low class cry baby bullshit why would they want to? Congratulations ED! I thought you were cool. I have a $12.000.00 guitar rig. I shred like lightening! And I could learn from ED! Great Job!

[Kryptik316]

Fuck you Vinnie, and everyone who judged this contest. Ed is good, I'm not saying he isn't, and this is a good little bit he played here, but there WERE better ones out there. Shit was rigged.

[XgameboycolorX]

NERDS FTW

[Babyface6200]

that guy did my mom's homework in high school

[kaktussalat]

@Babyface6200 really



[hatten7575]

@Babyface6200 i did your mom in highschool :P

[trashtalkwiz]

'xcuse me, but hardly any of that was real shredding, it was all slow sweeps and simple 80's soloing.

[zbarneyz]

@trashtalkwiz Your name says it all.. So I dont have too.

[SHREDDER222X]

@trashtalkwiz yeahh but he has a super clean technique and tone, well it´s my opinion

[Seandude223]

@trashtalkwiz And it sounded bad ass.  You don't have to be the fastest in the world to be cool, man.

[sappypesticide]

I didn't know alton brown could shred guitars like he shreds cheese.

[xMrBumpyx]

This guy reminds me a lot of Michael Angelo Batio.

[MaliceMods]

And he fuckin flashed "I love you" at the end not " \m/ "...

[MaliceMods]

I saw that guy appear I thought it was a joke...

[dougjwhalen]

I love how the winner of the DEAN guitar contest plays a real guitar by Ibanez

[xXSavageSn1per12Xx]

wtf

[ahfT42]

whos the girl at 0:29 sec going into 30sec? i saw her video once and she was really good but i cant find her anymore

[5044Nathan]

So this guy win he's ok

[rainbowchickenfish]

isnt vinnie a drummer?!!?

[bloodpool]

0:21 WTFuck is he playing with a glove on for? How is that even possible

[ntrnate]

that wasnt shreading THAT WAS FUCKING ARPEGIOS! THATS SOME BULLLSHIT!

[rainbowchickenfish]

@ntrnate arpeggios kinda count as shredding because its fast, think he won because unlike most other contestants, he wasnt trying to be too technical or anything and what he played just sounded good and made melodic sense

[ntrnate]

@rainbowchickenfish what? wasn trying to be too technical/ wtf are you talking about?

[rainbowchickenfish]

@ntrnate too technical as in he did not try any of the really tough shit that most of the other contestants tried. many of the other contestants were just playing as fast as they could. technical = hard

[ntrnate]

@rainbowchickenfish oh so he didnt try anything hard yet still won the contest, i dont think he should have won the contest because ther were better entries then what he did, i agre those arpegios were fucking badass but i dont belive he should have won. buut that doesnt matter shit that was like 3 years ago

[rainbowchickenfish]

@ntrnate yeah there were better entries if they have this contest again im probably gonna give it a try that razorback looks awesome!

[cuDDLeSH1t]

he looks like a classical genus

[maidanbih]

muris varajic is better

[shreder89]

are you fucking kiding me?

[MusicJamin330]

The winner would look really look stupid with the Razorback, It doesn't fit his style. That and he has his guitar practically up to his chin. He probably won it and then sold it for twice as much as it's worth. What a waste...

[dachachamonk]

He's Good...But Dime Would Waste His Ass.

[Blackfall234]

the starting riff and the riff after are kickass !

[xXPrototypeXx1000]

TAAABS PLEASE!

[purplehalfstack]

wow, thats who won?

[MAGNETMETALLICA]

Those Glasses On Him Match His Skillz... Math Or Guitar

[Hopper3513]

That gold Razorback guitar looks badass!

[DOOM3PLAY3R]

@Hopper3513 It was dimes

[nirvanafan1226]

@Hopper3513 no the dean ml fr sunburst one looks beast

[nirvanafan1226]

i like how the most nerdy looking entry won lol

[thestarvedfan]

impressive winner!

[InsanEMetal654]

What annoys me the most about this contest was the contest was to play in the spirit of Dime, yet the guy who won played nothing like Dime. There were so many other guitarists that did a much better job than him and actually carried the style of Dime. I guess playing some 5 string arpeggios and using wah makes you sound like Dime to some people..

[P5ych00]

@InsanEMetal654 it was a shred contest... not a dime bag mimic contest

[InsanEMetal654]

@P5ych00 I never said they had to play exactly like.. -.- I said play in the style of Dime.

[kingdiamondtheeye]

Halcyon should have won or Murisv.

[ManofWar55]

@kingdiamondtheeye. Or Mihaljevic. This guy honestly is not that good.

[xDimebladex]

it's a shame that he won

[Wolfyxxx91]

Dam! O.O

[tweekerssukk503]

its like weezer on steroids

[Shawoddywoddt]

Damn dude that's what I'm talkin about :)

[Eddiehunter05]

wow that nerd bastad can play ed is awesome

[137Supra]

its like getting RICK ROLL'D but WORSE

[RommelGuitar236]

what wah is ED using???

[BangYourEd]

@RommelGuitar236 I'm using a Digitech RP250 pedal in this video.

[gehythren]

1:31 is my favorite part!

[Darkdragons777]

This guy gave me the idea now. That when i play in front of people i should look like a nerd. I'm going to do that thanks Ed

[vicchavill]

So the Nerd is the winner come on, he is not that good, if he were that good he would be selling music like Satriani or Steve Vai, no playing in internet contests, when the price is a cheap guitar.

[BangYourEd]

@vicchavill Cheap guitar! Come on! It's a USA Dean Razorback! And it freakin' rips! Check my Facebook page for pics of what it looks like with a new paint job.

[roofdrake]

The man is a BEAST.

[TheCascade14]

It's funny cuz they said you would win the dixie in the actual promotion video

[JuanBluesMan]

watch?v=lHkcM0eKUgE&feature=re­lated <------------------ THIS GUY SHOULD WON!

[s1r0tt]

that riff he does in the begining sounds a hell of alot like a riff mustaine would write

[hairyredstapler]

this is bullshit...his guitar has no fucking strings....this contest was rigged

[MetalCoreMonster]

@hairyredstapler I'm sorry, but are you actually being serious? If so then I fear for the future of humanity.

[hairyredstapler]

@MetalCoreMonster yeah dumb ass im being serious...take a close look...and if you still cant tell, i think lenscrafters is open till 9:00

[shinobymaster]

@hairyredstapler not like the guy got an entire channel playing the guitar...

[xXPlayer2]

i like the stealth better than the razorback

[CagakanZorba]

if ed puts that guitar any higher it will be through his head, but he sure knows how to shred!

[METALWEED420]

The people that talk shit are the ones who cant play guitar so to all you im sorry that Ed is a better player than you. I shred like crazy but i aint no where near good as Ed if i can live with it why cant the rest of you

[AlePresz]

Vinnie Paul probably said GET THAT FUCKING NERD OUT OF THERE when the cameras were off ... What a shame, this guy deservers a Fender or other gay kind guitar. Nice playing anyway.

[MrCherryKush]

@AlePresz He's still better than you. LMAO

[coxtrox]

lol this dude won? He looks like half a butt puppet. Hes got skills though

[Rockboyification]

whats the name of the song in the background ????

[AtanasovPetar]

This guy has no strings....this entry was pre-recorded with who knows how many takes.

[MrDirtyUncle]

Hahahaha! I just thought of this. What if it was eddie van halen in a teachers outfit with glasses. hahaha I bet that cheatin bastard =P

[grynpys]

he really deserved that, his playing is flawless

[sataniadeoz1]

His sweeps are super clean.

[Ensor321]

Ed looks like the chemistry teacher at my school!

[jpjssv]

there were many better than him, he doesnt even used a dean! haha i keed, but c'mon, like the dude down, i think halcyon, achokarlos, or many others were better than ed, i have to admit, ed its good, but something just doesn't seems right

[skulduggery1515]

Halcyon should've won

[LampTurk1337]

it would be fun if Alexi Laiho had entered this competition

[rossboxo]

If only he was using a dean!!!

[heljis]

Glad he won, wasn't mindless wank like most the other entrys.

[FuckinMetal3694]

there isnt even any strings on the fucking guitar how did he win. hes gay and old, vinnie paul is the man!!

[metalheadlbd]

At 1:18 kirk hammet taught him how to play that part!!....XD

[SpicyDragoon]

Lol, the sore losers on here.

"He shouldn't have won this, I did that and that".

[DRMETALGOD]

I bet that spit fuck used a machine to do that I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure that he made that on his computer

[MrAnon78]

@DRMETALGOD sore loser... shut your face!

[DRMETALGOD]

Fuckin bull shit all he dose the whole time  play is arpeggios and use a wah wah Pedal to make it sound cool Ed to shred should not have won, this contest had to be nigger rigged or something I bet that nerd hacked into the system and changed the judges choices

[metalmusician68]

tell em if i'm wrong, but "ed to shred" wasn't impressive.

[mittensandfobeo]

@metalmusician68 no, he really wasn't all that good =|

[bmx69bmx1]

@mittensandfobeo he was kickin ass.....i just watched 100 different vids and he was def the best.....

[TheMonkey290]

wow



[420metal4life420]

fuck this how did this guy win the contest was about a real metal head puttin his soul into the music not a nerd who payed for lesson and equiptment im disapointed he isnt even that good

[RollinThunder45100]

ed to shred doesnt even use that razorback he doesnt deserve it either

[MrMikel1953guitar]

he has no strings come on man he shouldnt win achkorlos should have won he deserves it more than anything not ed to shred

[andrewds98]

that guy is a wannabe kirk hammett with his stupid wah. he really doesnt deserve to win

[alan6333]

@andrewds98 he is good... and maybe u don't know how to use a wah....whats the problem with the wah???

[andrewds98]

@alan6333 well he is good. but

wah makes it easy to cover up your mistakes

[alan6333]

@andrewds98 petrucci, vai, satriani... they use it so much and they are greatest guitarist

[munchy040]

@andrewds98 oh yeah and dime diddnt use the wah pedal heaps !!!! get of the grass mate .

[andrewds98]

@munchy040 agree

[gehythren]

If only tosin abasi played deans.........

[Synysterjmz]

this video won? it sucked.. the guy looked like a douche..

[lgcmetallica]

more like steve vai than dimebag

[FuckinMetal3694]

THE WINNER HAD NO STRINGS ON THE GUITAR ..

[JohnPodunkley]

I'm totalee going to see ED jam this friday in Portland! Can't wait!!!!

[neverlandneverfly]

i thought you had to have a dean guitar wtf?

anyways Ed you suck...

[BangYourEd]

@neverlandneverfly I do have a Dean guitar now! And thanks for the love! You rock! You're an awesome fan!

[bathscrubber]

This contest was unfair, not everyones able to record then make a video of them playing it and then put the studio version over it so there's no mistakes, it should of been someone who actually just filmed and played off the top of there head, and played amazingly still...

[BangYourEd]

@bathscrubber I played LIVE over my backing tracks.

[pokerus911]

0:21 who is that guy with the glove on? O.O

[MrLesPaul24]

cant get any high on your strap

[BangYourEd]

@MrLesPaul24 No... I tried.

[MrLesPaul24]

@BangYourEd lol ur really good, but why do u have those straps on so high

[BangYourEd]

@MrLesPaul24 It goes good with my bow tie. ;)

[tabotabojayar]

nice ibanez guitar....

[DODIGEHE]

he wasnt even shredding dimebag style, no trem shit going ,on no harmonic madness, no fucking fake echoes or something else which made dime the dime :-(

[Deanguitarman123]

Well he could have one the hold your guitar higher than the beetles contest...

[BCt0xiN]

Seriiously dimebag rolled over in his fucking grave when they announced the winner of this bullshit

[BangYourEd]

@BCt0xiN I must have really made an impression on you! I see you bashing me all over YouTube! Keep at it!

[BCt0xiN]

AHAHAHAHAH WHAT A FUCKING JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE! ROFL

[MassaPekkarinen]

ummm wheres are the strings on eds guitar ?

[DementedAugmented]

stop talking shit about ED hes fucking shreds!!!! and deserves to win



[KillJoy353]

@DementedAugmented look up Achokarlos' video, and then tell me ed deserves it.

[Tralasse]

@KillJoy353 karlos fuckin rules!

[KillJoy353]

@Tralasse damn right!

[steveshreds]

@DementedAugmented to be fair, all he does is sweep :/

[neverlandneverfly]

Eds a good guitarist but hes a real dickhead in real life...

[MonkeyFinger5000]

@neverlandneverfly Really??? Being as he never leaves the compound, how would you know?

[neverlandneverfly]

@MonkeyFinger5000 just read his dickheadish comments..

[MonkeyFinger5000]

Tell you guys what...when the Ed CD comes out later this year, give a few of the tracks a listen to. I guarentee Ed's playing (and the band's) will way overshadow the "dorky" look. You can find two of the demo tracks on my myspace, as well as some stuff off our first CD. Look it up under Agent J or monkeyfingerpdx

[BangYourEd]

PS...

The CD is rippin! We've got Vadrum on drums along with my original bass player. This CD is gonna rock hard. So, keep slammin' out the love for me here! You've all done a great job of keeping ETS alive!

[BangYourEd]

Hey Gang... I just wanted to write and say, Thanks for the keeping the flame burning while I finish up my CD! You guys are welcome to come over and hate me on FB and MySapce too!!!!

Rock on,

ED

[Vaultzero]

@BangYourEd Where are the strings on the guitar in this video?

[EDsTestBed]

@Vaultzero You may need glasses.

[DimebagDarrellCFH33]

@EDsTestBed my eyesights perfect and..i have a tablet so i zoomed in. there are NO STRINGS!

[KillJoy353]

@DimebagDarrellCFH33 I can't see any strings either...wtf

[ozmzn2]

and 'Ed to shred' didnt show ANY emotion, stage performance, and played in the complete opposite style of dimebag! that wasnt even 'METAL' WTF DEAN!!!!!! Ria, woundlt have said he represented dime, niether would Vinnie its all a stupid hypocritical publicity stunt....

[wowspare]

@ozmzn2 it was a 'Dean Shredder Contest' not a 'Play like Dimebag' contest.

btw i agree that ed shouldn't have won

[ozmzn2]

I am curious to how the entire contest got lost in translation, and the real purpose for this contest was to find the one person that embodies and best represents the life and spirit of the late great DIMEBAG DARRELL, so can anyone tell me WHY THE FUCK DID THAT 'DORK' WIN!!!!??? plz anyone!

[MrMikel1953guitar]

u have no talent ed u runnin through a computer thumbs up for no talent

[distormetal]

no mamaes que jalada con razon dije ese wey parece que toca demasiado despacio para ser lo qe suena xD

[chops3690]

That guy won?? WTF MAN. HE WASN'T EVEN USING A DIME ML!!!

[DimebagFromHell1]

you can't even see the damn strings on his guitar wtf!

[Pwnzordude45]

@DimebagFromHell1 No he has strings, look carefully at his pickups when he bends back all the way

[lildude234]

Once again. The people didn't look for the fastest player. If it was like that, Tiago Della Vega could've entered the contest and won (Being the fastest guitarist in the world). Vinnie looked for someone who could shred, have soul into their playing, and make it sound good. And that is EXACTLY what Ed delivered.

[thesellouts1]

#1 hes not showing the dime flar at all, that was bull shit,

#2 he should not have a razor back, any way it looks ugly as shit in gold lol..

[waydekight]

Achokarlos

[jykonrock]

halcyon1871 should've won. or achokarlos

[jessejesse1]

FAIL!!!! Muris Varajic had this contest hands down! NO COMPETITION,, check out his entry and other songs... and as far as achokarlos goes hes a low class shredder... so what he can play throught the major and minor modes pretty fast... many people can, check out francesco fareri if you think that stuff is cool, he blows achokarlos away in every way... speed, picking technique, arpeggios and GREASE!

[jclp81]

you got to be kidding me he won that shit

[techdeathgrind123]

you guys are dumb achokarlos is great. so is this guy. hes not just running scales. you faggots are fucking stupid

[GuitarShredderCZ]

this is fail... he is total shit

[theclaw195]

Just watched Achokarlos. I have to say, if the people at Dean are anything like me, they don't give a flying fuck about some guy flying up and down scales over and over.

[george44ist]

WTF?

[DknFin]

You can see the guitar strings easily at 2:03. Check between the mices.

[anonymous564]

This contest was stupid. There were wayyyyy better people than ed, but not everyone has the resources to make their own backing track and use a good camera :/ It's supposed to be about the plaaying not your access to technology

[sixxteddy]

@anonymous564 i agree, that dude is a pussy at guitar

[855bullet]

@anonymous564 dude he plays extremely smooth and sounded great i think he deserves it.

[monstermacdonald]

@anonymous564 Who's better is subject to people's opinions. I think this guy was pretty damn amazing.

[ThePanteraTribute]

@anonymous564 Your comment is stupid not the contest. The winner can really rock the shit out of the instrument. Your opinion doesn't count, he already won the bloody contest so you can post as much crap as you want dude.

[Deimiond]

@anonymous564 Oh c'mon! You can download free midi-softwares and just throw in a drum program and you can make an backing tracks for drums. You can get mixing software or lite versions of them for free or practicaly free so everybody has the opportunity to make backtracks.

[BCt0xiN]

@anonymous564 Maybe you just have no musical talent. There is seriously nothing special about composing beats in fruity loops.

[anonymous564]

@BCt0xiN Yep, musical talent consists of ability to program drums in a DAW, rather than play music. ;)

[SteveCrothers]

@anonymous564 Actually I have to disagree. He was classically trained you can tell from his style. Which led to perfect tempo. Technical skills wise, he did great.

[KiLLaKRaBz]

@anonymous564 That could be partially true but talent is not always sweeping as fast and as much as you can. He plays very smoothly. Spot on with his vibrato and excellent timing. He's had years of practice

[chawinc]

@anonymous564 agree, hes a nerd; therefore, better at using technology. this is unfair!

[killerswrath]

@anonymous564 It was mostly about presentation, which I agree, Ed should not have won

[kid563]

not bad for a nerd

[seattlehawkins]

Sweeping is for Faggot deathcore emo queers!

[Shreddur666]

@seattlehawkins you dont know what your tlaking about shut the fuck up
