  4. Kevin says:

    Lol whats the point of going that fast!

  5. Patrick says:

    Holy shit

  6. Doug says:

    This guy may be fast but what he’s playing sounds dumb and has an inflection level of zero. While I respect what he’s doing, this isn’t something that somebody should “quit” over.

  7. Ben says:

    Is it just me or does he look like he’s having no fun while playing?

    And when you get to a certain speed it all sounds like buzzing so its really pointless to go that fast

  8. i stay high says:

    god damn. he almost doubles his bpm ( beats per minute ). jesus fucking christ, this guy makes michael angelo batio look like a fucking kid. i give this guy props on his speed and technique.

  12. monsterpop says:

    yep,fast as fuck and all
    but,,how incredibly dull

  13. Chad says:

    ya know….when this video is completely forgotten in the next month, Jimi Hendrix will still be world renowned and remembered for being sloppy and slow. But then again, I think its playing with heart and soul that matters when it comes to performing on a guitar. As Impressive and skillful as that was, it reminded me of someone getting ready to paint your portrait with a digital camera. Think about that one. Peace!!

    its a SPEED contest, not a how cool it sounds contest.
    the point of going that fast is because he was trying to break a record.
    and i rather be able to play fast than slow. any idiot can play slow and boring.
    great vid rich.

    That was pretty cool but I’ve seen Manowar’s bassist Joey Demaio play the same thing on BASS!!! – it’s on Manowar’s 1988 Kings of Metal album retitled “Sting of the Bumblebee.” Manowar also hold the record as the world’s loudest band. Obviously this guy is a Manowar fan. And for those who don’t get or question the speed record thing, the answer is the same answer you get from asking people why they climb the highest mountains or drive a car as fast as possible or stand in front of a charging bull… Think about it, people always want to do what hasn’t been done yet or at the very least do it better or faster or more insanely than before. And in my opinion, it’s human nature at it’s finest – completely the fuck insane! Rock on!

  16. Grof says:

    What the hell, dam thats fast

  17. Steve-O says:

    Regardless of how pleasant it is to listen to, I stand in awe of the level of discipline and dedication it took him to get to that level. So it took him sitting in his room practicing for 20 years to pull it off. At the end of it, he accomplishes a personal goal. How many of us quit when it gets too hard? That’s why I can’t shred, cuz I

  18. Steve-O says:

    quit when it got hard. Well done man!!

  19. JayTheHatGuy says:

    Thank you thomas for pointing out that this was a contest. He doesn’t look like he’s having fun because he’s focused on what he’s trying to do. I’ve been im musical contests during my playing days and know it takes focus and concentration.

  20. coma says:

    so much practice…so much precision..and people still hate…the dude is amazingly fast…jeez

  21. Daniel says:

    Speed is only one part of anything musically.Just because your fast doesn’t mean you can put out music that’s worth a fuck.Still , fast is good.

  22. Jared says:

    Jesus tap dancing Christ!

  23. chubby rockstar says:

    Holy shit thats badass!

  24. Tom says:

    Even though I think it started sounding crappy cause of how fast he was going, that was still fucking ridiculous! That’s INSANE that anyone can play at that speed!!

  25. rawr says:

    well he looks like he is haveing fun…

  26. James says:

    Hahaha

    “And when you get to a certain speed it all sounds like buzzing so its really pointless to go that fast”

    it’s flight of the bumblebee man :p of course it sounds like buzzing!

    It’s a *speed* record, not a ‘musical feeling’ competition, don’t be dumb -.-

  27. craig says:

    lol awsome thats the fastest in the world poor john petrucci cant hold a candle to this guy great song aswell but in all honesty that guy is a dick for going that fast he shouldnt exist. good though

  28. if he adds a lot more different notes that work at 320bpm it’d sound crazier

  29. bob the mother fucker builder says:

    Thats fake

  30. Anonymous says:
