Title: OMG! Coolest TV show EVER!
Post by: Arnold on August 28, 2005, 01:50:16 AM
It's called “Hebimetasan!”

It's almost entirely Japanese, and I can't speak Japanese.  Still, it was so cool that I was sad when it ended :(

This one features Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert in a riff-off and interviews(Paul and Marty both speak Japanese).  It's kind of a game show/variety show.

At one point, Paul does a swept arpeggio, WITH HIS TEETH!

A Japanese variety show with 80's cockrockers?

Umm...No thx? Sounds like an unhealthy combo.

j/k, I'll download it. Just for you.  :-D

[edit] Fair warning though: There's a good chance that I may not think it's the coolest show ever.

That was actually pretty fucking awesome. Other than the fact it was INSANE.

Pretty good show. Are there other episodes out there? Are they all basically the same thing?

I had to dig pretty hard, but I came up with a few different episodes (all with 1 or 0 seeds) that are in various stages of DL.  While looking for torrents I found an interview that explained Marty wasn't a guest; he's part of the show.  He also said the format is different every week.  That game show thing was just a goofy idea the producer had.

What's the name of that show anyways? Also, is there a way to tell if Keiji Haino has ever been a guest?

Wow.

BTW, I finally got another episode and it was rather lame.  Perhaps it would have been funny if I could speak Japanese, but it didn't have the character of the episode I posted.  This one had two guys from Stratovarius, but neither could speak Japanese, so they were just in it for a short part (a guitar string changing contest, which they lost).

There was also some Japanese Judas Priest tribute band that they showed clips of and interviewed news-conference style.  There was WAY less guitar playing and little of the fun found in the one I posted.  The only part I found cool was when this Japanese guitar player (Yoshio, or Yoshino, or something, with a COOL looking PRS) demonstrated his portable talk box, which was a batter powered amp and speaker, mounted inside a tea kettle.  He used the spout of the tea kettle to shape the sounds.
