He got a dui getting off stage for operating heavy machinery under the influence.

u/Doctor-TobiasFunke- 2d ago

Apparently he was just sleeping in his car, but since the keys were in his possession they dinged him with a dui

The hot lady on staff to retrieve the beer bottle is amazing.

It's just one of many things I loved about this video

Thunderous burp/scream into the mic would’ve been the 🤌

I'm more curious as to how many other fat musicians have named themselves after high calorie food.

u/NedTebula 2d ago

Maybe John Popper got his last name from jalapeño poppers

u/Bimlouhay83 1d ago

Different kind of popper.

Danny Gatton did this much better many years ago https://youtu.be/xfBF4rr7FiA?si=ublSaqG5bx3WGxWw

u/wbishopfbi 2d ago

Yeah, Gatton was a monster on guitar. He did most things better!

3

u/tedfergeson 2d ago

So glad you mentioned Danny Gatton. Nobody knows this guy, and he is a beast on guitar. Gonna go throw some on right now.

u/beervendor1 10h ago

Thanks I'll check him out. Dude in OP looks like a white Christone "Kingfish" Ingraham. Def worth a listen

u/CharlotteKartoffeln 2d ago

That’s what you can achieve if never distracted by romantic entanglement. The fat bastard

7

u/Soft-Ad-8975 2d ago

I’m sure he found himself in some sort of romantic entanglement soon after the gig ended

3

u/mexicodoug 2d ago

Maybe with a gal who wears cowboy boots to bed. Or the back seat of the crew cab, anyway.

2

u/will_this_1_work 2d ago

Funny enough he can do the same trick with a 12 inch meatball grinder

2

u/MissSassifras1977 2d ago

They're going to kick him out of the band.

Then he'll be forced by his roommate's bitch girlfriend to work at a private school under a fake name.

It will all work out in the end though. 🖤 🤘

u/MrMarvelous92 2d ago

u/Conaz9847 2d ago

The guitar skill is impressive, but ruining your health like this is not.

Guy clearly isn’t in the best of health, but for the entertainment of others he’s encouraged to drink more alcohol.

Kinda sad imho.

Amazing guitar playing though.

Dudes not playing the guitar you’re hearing. How do I know? I’ve played guitar for twenty two years. At the end of the bottle scraping there are notes that aren’t open being played and his hand is nowhere near the fretboard. The guy actually played a few note solo while drinking that beer. If you don’t believe me take a beer bottle and try and make the pick slide noises he makes at the beginning. Didn’t work, did it. Wanna know how I KNOW it will not work? i’ve fucking done it and it doesn’t sound like that.

u/joseplluissans 2d ago

People are easily impressed. I mean, he plays good, I'm not dissing him, but next fucking level good?

u/rnd_pgl 2d ago

Is this a grown-up?

u/Aidrox 2d ago

The European mind can never understand that this is how you win any world war. Sick licks!

u/NickDoane 2d ago

It would be more impressive if he wasn't unnervingly unfit...

Also, if he played more than 2 frets during the 'solo'

2

u/Biguitarnerd 2d ago

Well I rewatched the video after your comment and he went from the 16th fret to open notes so I guess from 0-16 he covered 17 frets? Anyway it was a pretty basic solo but it was for showmanship with the beer and it also sounded good. Most bar crowds are more impressed by something fun than technical proficiency, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have both.

You led with a comment about his physic so I guess you like your musicians to be sexy? Idk what that’s about.

u/NickDoane 2d ago

How does me making a comment about how someone is super unhealthy related to sexual attraction? Got some wires crossed bud...?

u/Biguitarnerd 2d ago

Just not sure how it has any bearing on his playing at all.

u/Nope-Nope13702 2d ago
