That bass player.....
I want to burn his bass.
He didn't even seem to realize how bad he was.

You know, I don't think I noticed his playing until reading this, listening to it again, and tapping my finger when he should have played. Not exactly what I'd call "close".That bass player.....

I've met bassists with similar skills...a buddy's band I was kinda with at the time as well auditioned for bassists once...and they had told them all they'll play a metallica song...and then this one guy comes up, sets up his stuff...and they start to play - I'm watching...and the second the song starts the bassist starts to run around like a headless chicken, moshing and jumping and making a helluva racket of notes in the ballpark of where they should fall...so the guys manage maybe 10 seconds till they one by one quit playing and just laugh so hard they can hardly stand...and this bass guy, it takes him like 4-5 seconds to even understand to stop playing, he's going so frantic...and he just looks around and everyone is rolling on the floor and he just ups and picks up his gear and leaves without a word :-)That bass player.....

I had to watch this again for the humor, and it hit me of what this "band" reminded me of...

There were two really funny spots for me in that one. The first occurs at at :32 when the singer tries to hold the whole thing together with "She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie..." The second thing occurs if you can hang in all the way to about 2:25 when the song ends and the guys doing the filming start to discuss it.

Is this for real? Maybe they are trying to be bad as a joke? Or, is it really
possible that these guys are that bad and yet don't know it or don't care?
Are they doing this?

A couple of things I learned from this thread:
1) I don't like Pink Floyd any better when it's played badly.
2) So THAT's how you play "Cocaine."
3) I can play an awful lot like Zakk Wylde!
I've almost got to think that that's intentionally bad. Certain species of elk can play Cocaine better than that. It's not exactly a complicated song, especially sans solo.

WARNING: Do not watch this video or Comfortably Numb within 3 hours of eating or drinking as it will definitely make you puke.
Look, I'm not into making fun of folks who put their heart and soul into something but, I have at least one family member who professes to love me and I'm sure she would not allow me to do something to myself that would be deadly. Surely one of these guys has someone who loves him and would warn him. I'm surprised the camera could roll that long.
I suddenly feel much better about my lack of talent.

I don't know how he managed to keep a straight face as much as he did!
That's too hilarious.

You mean that wasn't Pink Floyd? It sounded just like the album!!

You'd think so but then. . . . wouldn't they be smiling, doing something else to take the p1ss? HOwsabout 1 crap song and the rest of the set was brilliant........
NUP....these guys butcher EVERYTHING!!! Saw the Clapton/Cocaine cover and my ears vomited all over my computer! My eyes were already still bleeding from the first vid .........
O U C H this is a MUST watch for anyone aspiring to 'play' in a 'band' and should all give you a bit of confidence knowing this mob is out there!

Funny how Zakk still manages to play that with his weird but highly functional picking technique anyway.
