BANE JELIC MAKES US NOSTALGIC FOR ’90s SHRED VIRTUOSOS
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 at 1:05pm by Vince NeilsteinWhat do images of Hitler, 9/11, a baby, fire, tacky computer generated images of the cosmos, crosses, and rocketships have in common? Being in a video for a wordless song by a virtuosic guitar shredder, of course! Hibernum reminds us of the awesome talent of Steve Vai copycat Bane Jelic, who is heralded by at least one YouTube user as “One of the up and coming shredders of our time.” Let the 1/64th note shred runs do all the talking.

The yellowish Strat with scalloped fretboard? Looks like an Yngwie Strat advert. And the “serious” face closeups? Meh.
The playing? Tasteful, thank Goddess. Not just mindless superfast Phrygian or Mixolydian or WTF-ever runs. Actual melodies and song construction. Nice.
Yeah, but can he play Guitar Hero?
@ Troy:
Randy can’t play, why should this guy? ;)
i think he is 20 years late!
