Wayne's World was funny because good humor is taken from real life. This is just that - completely done in a serious mode and completely rediculous. This guy has no idea how stupid he sounds, which makes it even funnier!

Plug into a Crate G60, use the distortion channel and pin the gain. Adjust amp tone knob just because it turns. Play hard.

(OMG, this actually reproduces that sound!!)

Don't forget to turn the tone knobs to "where they are doing the least."

In keeping with the model number of the guitar... I believe he, indeed, *smacks* his lips a total of 360 times.

Maybe Dokken could make a comeback using Rickenbokkers.

Interestingly his video for the Ibanez AS73 doesn't use such a distorted amp setup and you can hear the true nature of the Ibanez much better. Unfortunately he spends much of that video trying to show off his not-so-incredible playing ability.

What a dork.

"...sort of like a laid-back version of the Ibanez sharktooth inlays..." Wow, I had no idea that Rickenbacker copied those from Ibanez!

This video is just so wrong... but I guess everyone has to start somewhere, even if that starting point is 'wrong'. But why make a video of it??? My mind is reeling.
