Henry Kaiser's collection

[Snoogans]

Is this guy for real?
Or am I just not "jazz" enough to appreciate the genius of his atonality and discordance?

Bonus points if you can make it through the entire clip!
I bloody well couldn't...

I succumbed at 9:17, after the chillig sound of the black Telecaster.

We're not jazz enough.

[toejam]

I'm out at 9:40. Can't believe I made it that far.

I did find this awesome Guthrie Govan strumming technique, though.

[Carbuff]

4:50 was it for me with that barncaster. LOL.

[Snoogans]

It gets worse!
Solo starts at about 4:30 in

This guy makes Vinnie Vincent sound like Jeff Beck!

I would have liked to hear the guitar that shows at 7:35, but without the nasty effects.


I cheated. I made my way to the end. But I didn't watch it the whole way through. I only watched about a minute of each guitar.

[rjohnstone]

Somebody take that damn pedal board away from him.

Solo starts at about 4:30 in

Oh that fucking hurts. Richard Thompson is a hero of mine, why did he let that buffoon on stage to butcher that song!? ugh..

[straycat]

Is this the same guy that sucked Dumble's dick back in the 70's?
Has like 20 Dumble amps and is just about the worst guitar player ever.

[wilkinsi]

My ears! I got to 3:37. I need my morphine now..

[Snoogans]

I was wondering - does he actually know he's crap?
Is he a bit "special" and everyone's just being nice to him "Aw bless! At least he's trying..."
Or maybe he's fully aware of his inabilities, and has just been lucky enough to be embraced by the "avant-garde" brigade. The same pretentious wankers who buy modern art and applaud Yoko Ono when she's doing her wounded sealion routine.
It kinda pisses me off. Playing guitar is a beautiful, difficult but rewarding endeavour, and yet some clown can make a load of money and kudos by playing shite like that....

[Razor]

I made it to 3:47. And here I thought my playing was bad. I feel better about myself now. That dude is trying way too hard to play like he has "soul"...

[toejam]

This guy makes Vinnie Vincent sound like Jeff Beck!

Jeff Beck just wears a wig and pretends he's Vinnie Vincent!

[straycat]

From what I have been told Henry is extremely wealthy so my guess he pays the bar tab so they need to be nice to him.
