I know he can do it live, but can he shred unplugged?

I saw Weird Al back in 1996 during the "Amish Paradise" tour.
While I went for the comedy, I was blown away by his talent and the talent of his band.

Incredible musicians! IMO

That's great. He and his bandmates are all amazing musicians, and they can all hold their own.

I saw him a few years ago at a free show at Cyprus Gardens, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen, by far.

Vid= awesome

That's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect from Weird Al. If you're not a fan, you'll just roll your eyes and groan. If you're a fan you'll still groan, but you'll also get a big laugh out of it. I laughed!




Like some others already said, he and his band are really pretty talented. I've never seen him live but I've seen plenty of videos and I'm impressed, on a few levels. I'd to see him if he came around. I dig his humor, his parodies are usually pretty funny and creative, and when he's on, he's ON!

I used to practice at the same rehearsal studio as Wierd Al many years ago. He would always buy two rooms so that no one was in the next studio (these places weren't too soundproof), so you could always go into the empty studio and hear him rehearse. They were pretty good!
