Guitar Swing Fail

[RacerX]

Appropriate that all those bands sucked!

[QuantumRider]

can't find it on youtube, but in the David Lee Roth video for the Sinatra cover of That's Life, Steve Vai fails at a guitar spin too.

What's the collective term for a gathering of Bell Ends?

Yes, I guess everyone who tries it fails once in a while, here's Alexi Laiho:

But it seemed to work better back in the day he still used Jacksons.

Damn, micha, I was going to post one by Laiho as well, although a different one.

Doing that is just a stupid, cocky, jackass move anyhow. Strap locks or not, you deserve to break a guitar doing that. Theres no need for it. You wanna impress the crowd, just play the fucking thing, and if youre playing isnt enough to impress the crowd, go back to school or dont expect to impress the crowd. Dont understand why people think they need a gimmick to entertain, if you NEED a gimmick to entertain, then your routine just sucks to begin with. Fix the problem, dont cover it up with ignorant crap.

I love how the guy looked like he was about to cry, what did he expect?

I did that once back in the '80s after seeing Yngwie and the guy from Cinderella do it. It didn't fail me, because I had a DiMarzio Cliplock strap!

Ever see the footage of Juan Croucier from Ratt doing this with his bass? Came flying off, went up into the air and over the drum kit.

I did it once with my Warrior. The upper pointy horn violated my asshole on the way around. I have had to shit leaning to one side ever since. - Lou

I've been playing 18 years and can honestly say I've never tried that one single time. I did think about it once. Once. But didn't follow through.

I am guilty of trying that as well back in '86. I had strap locks, that wasn't the problem. The miscalculation of the ceiling height however was the the problem. Stuck that strat right through the drywall. I was just brilliant! Damn it was fun to be 15.

Now, who else do I know that "uses" a Warrior? Oh yeah...

LOL I did it in my high school gym class after someone asked me to. I figured why not, there's plenty of room!

ROFL. Showing off usually ends up making you look bad IMHO.
