Bad taste man, this guy was pretty good in his day. Chronic arthritis destroyed his hands, but not his love for guitar. He should be commended for his love of guitar rather then ridiculed. Shame.
Seriously like I thought shred wasn't an ass, this was a classless move and the information behind this clip is readily available. Fucking embarrassing
Yeah Stevie T did a thing about this dude. Apparently use to be able to actually play. Was made into a joke despite it being caused by health issues. Really sad tbh.
The fact that Shred has already talked about him and admitted he had heard of his illness makes it even more fucked up that he's coming back to make fun of him
@@HeadCannon1776 It's a joke on a man who struggled because his ability to play guitar was taken away from him and then internet bullies started making fun of him and mocking him. He died a little over two months ago and here we are again with people mocking while his body is still warm. Fuck off with that shit. If it were you or one of your relatives I doubt you'd still feel the same way.
@@HeadCannon1776 the “joke” is in bad taste considering the guy just passed away and has crazy arthritis.. you think it’s funny making a fool outta people with disability’s ?
Rest in peace Richard Benson. A legend who was delt a bad hand and lived through humiliation to make ends meet. Never take for granted the ability to play and learn the guitar. To Richard Benson, I learned Adagio in Re to honor you. Rest in Peace.
That's a bit of a stretch mate I can guarantee you didn't know who this guy was until you seen him mocked on the internet don't try to make out you're a die hard fan🤣
@@juanvaldez5422 Sometimes I can't tell if he's in character or consumed too much acid in his young days and well, too much acid does affect the brain...
@@eatass5627 Actually he used the word right. "Effect" would have been proper if he said something like "it has an effect on the brain." Basically, 'effect' is used as a noun and 'affect' is usually used as a verb. Not arguing. Just trying to help people understand the terminology better
It’s a little overblown, I think. If Shred does something bad, call him out on it, but don’t say he’s a terrible person. It doesn’t excuse anything bad Shred does, but better people have done worse for less.
You can have passion for guitar and still play within your abilities. Nobody would be mocking him if he wasn't doing this wanky trash shredding like someone who picked up a guitar last month. He could just play normal songs and it would be fine. He put this crap on the internet, so that's on him.
Yes, people who play with their feet sound better. Richard benson always sound Bad while playing fast. It s the distortion sound and comprenssion that makes it sound horrible.
Dying doesn't erase the bad decisions you made in life. He decided to try and play far beyond his capabilities, then decided to put in on the internet. And he did that over and over and over again. So cry me a river, because this is wanky cringe and it deserves to be ridiculed. I don't give a F if he's alive or not.
After careful and intense analysis of the entire solo I am absolutely convinced no human on Earth could faithfully recreate it note for note with every single nuance in tact.
He was… quite the guitarist back in his day. He got sick with arthritis, he got a little cooky as he got older and made some… strange material. I know it’s kind of ableist… but I’m sorry, it’s still just as fun to make fun of Richard Benson as it is to make fun of Nickleback. It’s not ok to make fun of disabled people. They can’t help it and they shouldn’t be made fun of for going through something and having to struggle against it. That being said… if you’re sh** at guitar playing and you advertise that to the world as “hey guys, look how I can shred,” you’re going to get a certain reaction, like it or not.
Take this down please. Show the man some respect. Everyone who has a passion for music shares in that passion, and for that reason, should never be a target for any un-constructive criticism.
I think he was decent in his earlier days but he has some decease so he cant play anymore, its really sad. Even sadder how he was treated on stage. He sat behind a chickenfence cause people threw stuff at him and all he wanted was to play. Kind of heartbreaking but he kept playing. A trooper!
Before i know the fact that he had arthrithis and he died this year, i used to make fun of him after watching things like this in the Stevie T Channel, because i though he just sucks at guitar, but imagine if you practice guitar for years cuz u freaking love playing, and them your hands just stop working normally and makes a shred even more impossible, this guy was a Trve hero and i hope he's shredding at guitar without any freaking arthrits or something in heaven, ROCK IN PEACE MY MAN 🇧🇷\m/
Richard Benson could probably shred better than most during his days he had a condition in his hand that messed him up forever he still loves his guitar and no one has the right to take that away
Shred isn't making fun of Richard. He picked up the unfair and frankly untrue moniker of "Worst Guitar Player Ever" many years ago. Every time I would see the audience pelting him with food it would send me into an unholy rage. #RIP
I actually like his playing a lot tbh there is a lot of genius to what he is doing. To the untrained ear they do not understand the mastery of this type of art.
He was like, kind of, M.A Batio style guitarist. When I first saw him I was like wtf is wrong with this man, then I learned some sickness made him like this. Then I searched his prime, he was a pretty good guitarist. Even though you know his story and still joke about him, reconsider your life people.
Of course his posture is terrible for playing, but after 2 or 3 comments here you realise that this guy have arthrits, which explains it all... Sad to think it will happen to many guitarists someday because age comes to everyone. :^/
I don’t like this style of music but this guy sounds like he’s playing really well. And from the comments it sounds like he has arthritis and brain damage? If that’s the case, that makes this dude even more impressive.
Asking if he’s the worst is kinda outta poket man…. He used to be a shred king until his hand condition caught up to him.. I have the same hand condition so I feel for this guy. He is far from the worst sir
Is he the worst guitar player? Not by a long shot. The people that paid money to ridicule him, shout at him and throw garbage at him, those star the worst. Rest in peace Maestro
He’s just covering a Kerry King solo, what’s the big deal? Sounds like he nailed it to me
😆epic dude...
Lmao facts

Kerry cant even play his own solos lol

Yep. And he sadly passed away not long ago.

He passed away recently. Apparently, he had some really serious physical and cognitive health issues.
That tracks. Jeez I work with people with cognitive disabilities.
Thank you “ Debbie downer “ ,, now let the legend play 🎸
Fuck when did it happen.. seriously I didn't even know.. may his soul must be headbanging in heaven

To stevie
Well people got really mad at him, like REALLY MAD
But he apologized recently and said rhat he didnt know abou Richard's didabilities
He didn’t know
The worst guitar player is one with no passion. Benson was an inspiration
If you want to see a genuinely bad dude, check out kingcobrajfs
Dude was a legend. Stop trying to talk shit on the dead, its not a good look
A legend of wanky trash shredding maybe. A legend of constantly trying to play beyond his talent level, maybe.

Come on shred you have to do an apology short for this one. Not metal at all
😬 Might wanna walk this one back, bro
Yeah great comments from the metal community. Bunch of youtubers making fun of him and apologising later. Just not metal.
Delete this!!
Better than rap crap.🎸🎶🎼💯

Like this man, I'm now losing my ability to play to arthritis. Still, even tho he had arthritis, he nailed this solo covver!
*I’m sure this comment section will be tame…*
Well, Here comes another Audio Audit apparently
Yeah no doubt my man😅
Tell him to play the same notes see what happens
This guys story is beyond sad.
There’s a very long backstory about Richard Benson. He doesn’t deserve the hate he gets.
Just popped in because I haven’t seen daddy shred in a while. I think it’s good I stayed away.
Guy has some health issues. He shouldn't be mocked for not giving up.
Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson, Richard Benson.
He's not a bad guitarist, he's just playing Jazz.
Pov you see slash from wish
you will definitely lose some fans after this one. you can't shit on a great guitar player with arthritis who has passed. bro wtf

The poor guitar being tortured by him
This is the war cries of a dying guitar 😂
Electric reflections of war

Richard was a LEGEND !
yngwie malmsteen is one of the most influential guitar players ever. How dare you call him the worst!
subscription: lost
Bro he literally asked the question is he the worst because there is so much stigma about the video in question
He’s torturing the guitar
He was a musical legend
Richard Benson could probably shred better than most during his days he had a condition in his hand that messed him up forever he still loves his guitar and no one has the right to take that away

Who's to watch the Richard Benson video 🖤
He was actually really good.
He's dead few months ago

If Tesco sold guitars
Randy? Dimebag? There’s already Zakk Wylde buddy
What sucks is there's so many people out there that can fkn rip a guitar and don't get this much recognition 💯
I actually like his playing a lot tbh there is a lot of genius to what he is doing. To the untrained ear they do not understand the mastery of this type of art.

Was very talented once and lost his abilities due to an illness.
No he's chasing his better days.
Sad somehow...
Great guitar player, terrible microphone
Difference is Kerry King makes it sound good it’s like comparing me to Dimebag..

Bro non insultare Bensoni
No, but perhaps the most unfortunate.
A classy move would be to delete this video altogether.
Id assume that's an ironic title or something. This isn't a video of DJ Khalid
The worst? Definitely not.
His pointing finger vas already unusable in here...
Is he the worst guitar player? Not by a long shot. The people that paid money to ridicule him, shout at him and throw garbage at him, those star the worst. Rest in peace Maestro
Its shred metal. Its technically not supposed to sound good.
Dude that’s messed up to make fun of him
Pretty sure he was not too healthy at this point
I love this man, bless him
This isn’t from the Uncle 69 I know
20 years before this he was a beast
He's dead this year. He played after a crash too bad but not before. Before he was a great level player.
That’s trumps fatter, older, more rocking brother
Micheal Romeo is that you? 🤣
Now, first time I really looked at his left hand fingers and I there is signs of his sickness. RIP maestro.
