SHRED DURST

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 at 10:00am by

Pure comedic gold. The pacing is a bit off and the video way long (it could’ve been just as funny at half the length), but the guy’s heart is completely, 100% in the right place. Also, the faux-NY accent is a bit bizarre… but whatevs. Anything that makes fun of Fred Durst is aight in our book.

    “feux-NY accent”? I think you mean faux.

    I hate Fred Durst, but this wasn’t all that funny.

    You know, haters, it’s not like the guys who run this site are abandoning more important and serious stories about metal in favor of this humorous shit. It’s “in addition to”, not “instead of”. Without these videos, it would be just another boring metal news site. So stop complaining every time something doesn’t make you laugh. There are plenty of real stories and thought-provoking blogs on this site every single day.

    Doug Steele is a great guitar player – he was up at the top of that Dean shred thing a while back

    sounds like he’s listened to more than a few pantera records, very dimebag-esque.

    Ha ha ha!!! God that’s old. I need to do more when I have time. I come up with fucked up scenarios almost daily. I wished I had the time to make ‘em all happen, no matter how stupid or unfunny or whatever. My student Ernie thought of the name Shred Durst. We even filmed this at his house, he did all the editing. Anyways, it’s nice that this stupid character is evoking a reaction, whether postive or negative.
