ROCKTOBER: Santana Shreds! (plus Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Iron Maiden and more)

Inspired by Jacinta's BadLipReading post, I thought I would share some of my favorite "Shreds" videos.

If you haven't seen a Shreds video before, they are basically live band performance videos with the audio recreated to make the band sound terrible. The videos were originally created by YouTube user STSanders, until he was banned and then the copycats took over. Luckily, many of his videos have been reposted over the years and made their way back up to a million hits.

Here is the one that started it all for me.. followed by some of STSanders best, and one from the new wave of Shreds videos.

SANTANA SHREDS



EDDIE VAN HALEN SHREDS

IRON MAIDEN SHREDS

SLASH SHREDS

And here's one of the newer Shreds videos from YouTube user Allergonoise. This one makes it look like the band screwed up a song, instead of just playing terrible non-music. It's really well done.
