Justin Timberlake and Greg Howe

[NYTNinAmerica]

@siepip, if it hadnt been for ALLAN HOLDSWORTH, you wouldn't have heard of Mike Varney, Howe, MacAlpine or any of those guys (all of whom I've seen play live).

[c1r1770]

GREG HOWE!!!

[dann3th3manni3]

This happens a lot. Greg Howe - JT. Steve Vai - Nelly Furtado. Nuno Bettencourt- Rihanna. Michael Jackson worked with tons of famous guitarist: Van Halen, Slash, Greg Howe, Orianthi. List goes on of guitar/pop singer legend collabs.

[PashGorelik]

When Justin Timberlake realized that his career could go on the decline, he invited Greg Howe. thats why Rihanna play with Nuno Bettencourt ...she also realized it

[nikkisamodio731]

greg howe just killin it.

[siepip]

If it weren't for Mike Varney you would never see Greg Howe or Tony Macalpine

they would have to leave the US to be seen just like Jimi Hendrix did

[genderxl7]

99% of the audience heard the electric guitar for the first time...........so sad

[meanspirit]

I love that Greg matches all of JT's off-pitch singing :-P

[papehaideger]

JT es una mierdaaaaaaaa!!!

por algo greg dejo la gira xd

[genanigaurav]

haha .. gets so funny in the end (on justin's account) .. when michael jackson came out with slash , it was worth it .. even though greg howe rocks way more than slash, this dint come together

[Dudeprelude69]

Greg beat JT, all the way...

[edgarrg94]

Woow hahaha that was amazing, Greg howe is amazing haha

[kaboom6899]

That was pretty epic, i didn't know JT did live stuff with greg howe

[ciccillos81]

Grande Greg....ma Timberlake fai cagare!!!!!!

[tucker10]

Id go to a Justin Timberlake show - if i knew Greg Howe was playing!

[ilGCR]

lol wtf? what is howe doing with justin timberlake, and what are those strangled sounds J is spitting out? XD

no seriously, timberlake is good at what he does, but his music has no use for talent such as that of greg howe, it's kind of a waste...

[5amuu]

2:04 that chick is like "GAAAH THAT WAS AMAZING!"

[0wencooper]

hahaha 2:02 look at the girls face in the background

[bledsoe8]

I bet you not one person at this show had any idea who Greg Howe is. Damn shame. Hey, anything to get a guy like Greg some much deserved mainstream exposure.

[happysince96]

we could tell what Howe was doing, kinda hard to figure out what JT was trying to do...somebody should have given more input in rehearsal that JT might want to try something different

[paulcollumbine]

respect to JT atleast he gets talented ppl to do there shit on stage unlike other acts

[joeylodes]

howe rules ... and i'm glad he's makin some dough in this crappy biz

[rrryanocerous]

i bet the only reason greg did that was for the ladies at the show and probably told justin ''yea ill do it, if you pay me bitch"

[timbojones23]

For the extremely good money involved I would imagine

[Whackooyzero]

Why is Greg, guitar god of the legendary Shrapnel days, playing with THIS guy? Aw well, as long as Greg keeps releasing solo albums I'm fine.

[NonFlyingDutchman]

@Whackooyzero

Because he was paid loads of cash and got massive exposure?

Guitar Masters aren't filling up Arenas and Stadiums the way Pop Stars do, so if a Virtuoso like Greg wants to reach new crowds, he has to play with Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Enrique Eglesias.

I bet about 0.1% of the people in the crowd bought one of his albums after this, and for a crowd of 13 year-olds, that's not half bad.

[cerelilqt]

@Whackooyzero You cant be picky if you are a session musician.

[Leonard5555]

I wonder if the other members were badass session musicians like Greg

[foxlalo]

Now I understand, becuase that bitch (justin) sounds so good.

Cheers Greg!! love you music!

FoxLalo

[29mircea]

concerning the public's reaction .... Well brothers deserve to be flattering, to be cheered ... Really worth it!

[danteyoutu]

Justin seems to be proud of his singing, but why???? he has such a weak voice.. he sounds like a little girl.

[portrait1]

@danteyoutu Justin was 19 yrs. old here. Showmanship and confidence are key. This could have been a really awkward bit if Justin didn't have the charisma he had at a young age. The audience could have easily zoned out if JT didn't involve the crowd wit hype. Yes, He looked like he was enjoying this however you cut it.

[SlikkTim]

Y'all need to lay off the crack that was a very fine example of pop showmanship from both musicians ! Give some props to JT cause it's hella cool from him to keep that live band / real music thing goin on.

[verbotenco]

I like it that Justin isn't dominating the stage, instead sharing the fame with Greg; which to me shows his respect to Greg's legendary status. After all, Justin is like a decade later and younger than Greg's isn't he?

[agentsteell]

@verbotenco i dont think justin or the audience even know who greg is and they probably dont care..its just a part of the show. every pop star wants to be a "rocker" even if its just for 5 mins on stage :P

[vheadfacelegs]

shame justin tried to overshadow greg even though greg cant be overshadowed cause he is awesome

[11slash711]

I like how he's like back off a bit.

[kehajota]

Do someone know the song that edns on the start?

[mercury2mx]

yo veo el video por greg howe. el otro nomas la caga,no se espera a que greg haga su parte en la guitarra. inche marikon.

[rapidtranq]

I think Greg is one of the lucky ones to get the big gig...there are just too many unsung heroes who no one hears about!

[ricdeed]

then what happened...? Sounded like it was just starting to get really rockin

[person55554]

lol, greg howe knows so much more about music than justin timberlake. Its the situation where the overblown pop star meets the unsung guitar master. It happens all the time.

[chuckrocks69]

@person55554 yeh i wonder does rihanna know nuno before? i mean nuno blows her away experience wise, and now greg i read is playing for her

[bluesrevenge]

very cool-unusual-it would make me willing to go see Timberlake in concert if Howe was with him!

[leetheviolet]

greg howe puede tokar en el estilo que se le plazca, no hay limites para la improvisaciòn

[macrofu]

I bet all the JT fans were like WTF Ive never thought these sounds could be made from an instrument, hopefully some lil 13 year old was inspired to pick up a guitar that night

[clittwister]

JT's falsetto is hurting my ears. thanks to greg howe for masking it with his awesome chops.

[kevykev38]

Both great artists that shouldn't be performing together.

[Lucaguitar2008]

MAMMA MIA KE FACCIA DA CULO KE HA J!!!!!

[00Dakka]

as much as I hate pop music, I can actually stand JT.

[Justinoholic]

That's such a nice comment! :)

[mounlolol]

dude, 2:34

[jfrockon]

Timberlake is a good vocalist and while not my cup of tea... this IS cool. Howe simply rips......

[erwindc]

guys you dont understand.. a musician has to explore everything..playing with other musician is a part of his experiment .. greg howe is a musicians musician thats how he done.its like a jigsaw puzzle ..with out that session you cannot complete the thing..

[alexoscar23]

COOL!

[hlfost]

I like R & B vocals, But that rock guitar put his voice to shame. I rather listen to those hot lics from Mr. Greg Howe.. Rock on man!!

[gebass6]

Why would Greg do this?Exposure.Wider fan base.

[dennoow]

How about money? it's like a "paid vacation" for him :)

[Izzyvoice]

This video is good only because is about Greg, 'cause I'd fall asleep listening to those orrible vocalizations... WTF, i'd know how many of those screamin' girls know who are the guy with the guitar..

Fortunately I've my ESTRACTION at my side..

Rock on Greg, you're awesome!!!!!

Piero

[viperabs]

TEAR IT UP GREG!

[GoldenKraken]

che faccia di culo quel justin!!

[rorroesdios]

what teaer was this on? does anybody know??

[3510211]

Whatever, Hes making a LIVING playing GUITAR.

[Skymotion]

because they paying him a lottt of money for this stuff,and it's a big event with a lots of audience so why not..?

[RockinRobin411]

For those of you saying that Greg Howe has talent, but Justin Timberlake doesn't, why would Greg Howe do something like this?

[eurabio]

Did Greg fired that guy? what a bad vocalist, totally ruined his solo!

Is that some guy from american idol who got a chance to sing with Greg? Wow damm f*ing lucky guy!

Someone help, i'm clueless.

[Kjutte1]

I hate Timberlake too, but he IS a good vocalist.

[Gianfrancoco]

There's only one person with talent here. Guess who.

[HermerTV]

who ist the guy with the mic ?

[Theogibsonfreak]

Dunno

[PetruBecker4Rusty]

there is a guy with the mic...where???

[fjord2141]

I think its fuckin awesome that timberlake or whoever is in charge decided to give howe this much stage time out front at one of timberlakes concerts... expose these kids to some real music. most of them probably were rolling their eyes the whole time though or were hoping he'd just strum some chords instead.

[aLeChOoChoO]

justin what a fagggg....bro stop getting impressive with gregs talent faker

[MrIndeeply]

Can anyone tell me where can you get the rest of this video Greg and Justin where amazing I would like to get this video

[ICreamsodAI]

O.O

[IPlayGuitar19]

as a longtime guitarist and vocalist and someone who doesn't really listen pop-music....I'm gonna say that if you think justin timberlake sucks in this video...then you are an ignorant, closeminded fuck who doesn't know shit about vocals. As far as the out-of-tuneness is concerned, I saw maybe one second in there where Justin was just a tiny tiny bit off pitch, but other than that he was amazing.

[27Tomppa]

Have you ever heard of auto-tune?

[NegroMente]

lmfao what super amazing rack effect of 'auto tune' is available that would correct your pitch ON KEY and LIVE? Incredible. I don't like Timberlake (i am a killswitch/metalcore fan) but dont hate on this boy band singer.

[SEbGk]

don't be silly, man!! Eddie Van Halen is one of the 3 best guitarists alive

[cloudsilver]

LOL, no chance

[NegroMente]

Youre obviously not a musician. In terms of technical playing, EVH is probably at the bottom. In terms of inspiration and setting trends, then yes EVH would be near the top, right under Hendrix.

[SEbGk]

ese maldito lamepija está ensuciando la guitarra del pobre de Greg

[SEbGk]

tremendo Greg!!!

Justin SUX!

[LifeisMetaL]

yeh really out of tone!

[LifeisMetaL]

hate justin =)

[jesstar05]

actually i don't like Justin, i love Justin!

[jesstar05]

Justin Timberlake has an amazing voice and it is even better now. Greg Howe did a fantastic job do, they are both brilliant musicians, and Justin isn't out of tune, he sings like this in all his music so you probably just don't like him altogether! He can sing and he can sing mighty well, he appreciates all musicians including Greg Howe, so please leave him alone coz its own causing conflict between nsync/ J-T fans and guitar fans but me i like both!

[groovekilledme]

damndamndamn that justin-dude was really out of tune, Howe was serving him stone cold!

The thing that irritates me is that timber-whatever looks like he thinks he is better that howe, like "I like that" :P

[smaylor07]

Wow, Justin actually sounds really well in this, and Howe is mesmerizing and guitars aren't even my thing.

[malmsteenforce]

hahaha don`t make me laugh little girl !

This little justin boy isn`t a musician, he sounds like eunuch...

[Lahed92801]

Good lord justin timberlake is so freaking out of tune

Nice job by howe! How the hell did he do that

[Robertohn]

justin got overwhelmed when he thought he could do something cool... if he wanted to shine shouldnt have asked greg to play with him...or he should have sung better lol

[Archetype3]

Cool!

[Uberboricua]

Funny what happens when you put a musician next to someone who can't sing. Maybe Justin Timberlake has gotten better since then, though. In any case, nice solo by Howe.

[Fettman8]

hey, cut Justin some slack, he did a good job

and it's also really cool to let a guitar virtuoso play some leads on a pop concert.

[scirasco]

that's not true look at the face of the chick when greg lets it loose!!

[NinjaPepper]

Awesome example of a great guitarists talents going to waste. I bet nobody in that room appreciated that.

[Rnxo]

WTF are you talking about??

if you don't know greg howe ... its your problem dude!

cuz here WE ALL KNOW GREG HOWE!!!! yeaahhh !!

[sixx166]

crazy video :P
