And The Winner IS...

[Twithisrad]

@Mindster666 Touche.

[Twithisrad]

Zakk Wylde is a half-ass, arrogant, money grubbing, bullshit guitar player. Anyone ever hear of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez?

[THExWYLDExONE]

Gaku probably only lost cuz they didnt want to send the prize to japan

[metalehead95]

@THExWYLDExONE nah i dont think so.gaku immitates zakk.if is zakk to give these presents to somone who immititates him he better keep them for his self.am glad that gaku didnt won beause these guys who spent their talent to immitate somone are stuuupid.i like zakk but i dont immitate

[Tedst3r]

gaku probably thinks america sucks now that he won to....preston...

[nofockingway]

are that 002 strings.:S?

[zadraluca]

why is there anthrax's among the living at the beginning?

[zadraluca]

@zadraluca shit I said a really stupid thing

[ecaravello]

Me thinks Gaku was robbed.

[back2thefutre]

fart



[dustroyer13]

wasnt that impressed by the winner, part before he turns off the gain sounds like a bunch of ass and after that just a bunch of repetition. Now Gaku is impressive, and I bow to that guys guitar playing ability.

[canihaveanyname]

i like how all the people who try to win his rig already have incredibly expensive guitars and everything. i'd like to watch them try with a 100 dollar guitar instead of their 3000 dollar rig.

[97GTR]

Gaku should have won!!!

[kevmilla]

gaku should have won

[aryinc]

pretty okay video but man the noise coming from them emg's fuck that tone fucking horrible.

[slimDashZ]

@aryinc its probly the camras

[aryinc]

@slimDashZ

nah it's personal preference ;) .i find them to noisy and to flat.

[HendrixOpenPublic]

Im just 13 year old and I wanted to enter but the minimum age is 18! Im from Argentina and I would like that you do another contest but without an age rule please do it!

Sorry for my bad english!

[clbaumer]

Nice. You and Gaku should have got co-winners. Your both really great. Got a band? Anything recorded? Love to hear it,

[metalsolosandcovers]

this is complete shit!!! Gaku shouldve won and everyone knows it, ad the only reason he didn't is because Tom(Zakk) was too jealous!!!!!

[Metalslayer17]

That japanese underweight zakk Wylde shouldve won this shit.

[noamhemsky]

Jesus... I could barely see his hand move.

nice job Preston!

[TatinhaBDP]

Preston's his own style, Gaku always use Zakk Style and that's why he haven't won

[Deathstouch666]

@TatinhaBDP none of them have there own style lol they are fucking sick and technicly better than me, but they dont have there own style dude lol it all sounds exsacly the same

[4rockandroll4]

LOL..... is this serious? An american winner, what a surprise....

Gaku was way better....

EMG sucks anyway. DIMARZIO FTW

[bibana06]

@4rockandroll4 Good words. Gaku is much closer to zakk than the others But was it really the aim of that competition?

Sorry, but to me emg is much better than DI marzio.

[KI6OFS]

why is it that the people who dont need the guitar rig get it?

[DrunKid]

omg seriously?

5th and 4th place SUCK ASS

[arsehole420]

[chevyrokr7012]

gaku vs. preston right now.... i have money on gaku. tSDMFt

[Burpman62]

@chevyrokr7012 dude. preston did everything gaku did and more. lets see gaku do slide harmonics like preston.

[ecaravello]

@Burpman62 - watch his vids dude, Gaku can handle slide harmonics just fine. Much fatter tone and better feel than this dude too. 

[eelseth123]

this whole contest was bullshit. i shoulda won. im THE BEST jk

[hugogunsnroses]

I love you Zakk, but I have no idea what happened .. I can only see Gaku racist to not have won .. the guy is SIMPLY THE BEST ZAKK WYLDE cover of youtube! Who has not not agree with this! lamentable!

[reversededges25]

.. And WHY is Gaku in 2nd place? </3

[BYsexyTheDevil14]

Nada nada si gaku no gano fue por algo... Su 2 lugar le queda, este hermano gano honradamente y esta mas chido su solo y todo eso!! Y zakk wylde no es racista, y si no les parece que el haya ganado, pues hagan otro concurso para gaku participe de nuevo y así ustedes le regalen su propia guitarra haber?? Bien we tu ganaste bien

[WinterMadness05]

[Smartshopmusic]

Gaku would have won this contest... if Preston didn't enter!!!!

[dimebagriffs]

Gaku wins!!!!!!! Zakks racist

[GiobbaWylde]

[Smartshopmusic]

Good job Preston! You won that contest because you are original and talented. If you would not have entered this contest, Gaku would have won... But you did, and he didn't. Thanks to Zakk Wylde and EMG for having this contest. Preston, enjoy all of your free stuff!!!! #1!!!!

[americankaizer]

GREATNESS IS HERE !!!!!! ROCKED IT!!!!!! ZAKK OF CORSE PICKED THE BEST. CONGRADULATIONS PRESTON! DONT GET BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!! 

[masteradamb1]

well i guess we should ask Zakk....oh wait we did......He said Preston is #1! Way to go BRO! Simply the best. And GAKU is awesome, along with the others! But Preston is the "MASTER". These are the facts as we know it...

[Spade103XBL]

I LOVE GAKU! lol

[blsrichny]

i want my t -shirt did any one get one ????????

[guitardedboy08]

@blsrichny Not yet :(

[elitesnipe13]

@blsrichny not yet but im wanting mine toooooo!!!!

[ezzwhitezombie666]

no, because they figured shipping the stuff to alabama was cheaper than shipping it to Japan ...

[dimebagriffs]

@ezzwhitezombie666 agreed. Gaku doesn't need that cheap shit anyway, he's definitely #1 in my book.

[UnicRemix]

GAKU is 2nd place why.

[Sivertsen17]

@UnicRemix Because #1 assraped him. thats why

[SitarHero28]

Congrats to Preston and the other runner-ups. You guys sure can tear it up! Thanks to EMG and Zakk for hooking this contest up, it was a lot of fun recording and watching the amazing entries!

[leoyoung]

Could anybody explain to me how this Erick Chappell moved to the finals? I mean, he's got only 1500 views, and his playing sucks! There are way better videos than his, I just don't get it...

[Smartshopmusic]

[MenaPaws21]

@doverlordb No kneed to be a bitch about it

[Humanius93]

@doverlordb no offense, but less effort in recording more in playing, tbh i dont like the farewell ballad covers at all, it just feels like a obvious song, and its not even one of the most challanging of Zakks songs, but ur a good player, i give u that, and i hope u keep posting videos and enter more contest, bcuz ur really cool tbh

[doverlordb]

@Humanius93 i aint that good .

i know but i just was dissapointed.
