Friday Shredding →[More:]The earlier post this week to Yngwie Fucking Malmsteen led my to track down these links of YouTube for your pleasure:

Far Beyond the Sun played by two young women on violin. And by Yngwie.

And some guy.

And some guy.

And some kid.

And for your final perusal, a cover of a fictitious metal band by some guy (compare also Crush My Battle Opponents Balls)

And if you think these guys shred, compare a middle aged bald guy playing Flight of the Bumble Bee on a flamenco guitar.

Heh. Haven't heard that term for a while. Back in university, I had a friend who taught a first-year Philosophy of Environmentalism course (or as he referred to it, Tree-Hugging Crystal-Licking 101). He was on his way to the pub when one of his students stopped him in the hall. "Dude! You teach my philosophy course!" "Yes." "Whoah, dude. Plato shreds." We spent some time trying to decide whether that was good or bad and feeling out of touch with the youts of today.

Apologies for the derail--I can't hear/read that term without thinking about that story and chuckling.
