The most off key playing you ever heard?

Demon Hunter. I love the band, but the live show that I saw made it look like a sad high school "tribute" band.

yea we all have our moments..especially in a 3pc band and your guitarist somehow is tuned to Dflat and your to D...good thing i didnt have to be on that string more than a few notes because it looks bad and guess who gets the blame for it...the bassist

I think we have all forgotten that exotic afhgani poppy products were a great motivator for these guys. I think live, one take and all at the same time, opiates probably tend to throw the music off kilter a bit. Still like flea's playing, but honestly the nutty slapping was never what madde me think he was talented (once I learned how to play a bit)

 

[One Drop]

An old fave.

Pity the guy is off key because the band is SO tight.

Me, when I 1st started playin'. I didn't even know how to tune-up!

A long time ago I happened to catch some late night music show on TV featuring B.B. King and Neal Schon at some blues club in Chicago. They're both ripping on their guitars and Neal steps up for his last solo in the song. He pulls off this blistering lead that would've been truly great if he hadn't been entirely off by one fret - flat or sharp, I don't remember which now. About half way through the solo he realizes that something is wrong, but apparently can't figure out how to fix it, so he steps back out of the spotlight with his head down and finishes it amidst some funny looks from the rest of the band including Mr. King. **** happens even to the best.

That final countdown video is about as bad as it gets, in my opinion Of course, some people never cease to amaze...

"Pegleg" album - Ron Carter.

Anyone learning fretless without line markers

FINAL COUNTDOWN FOR THE WIN!

An old fave.

Pity the guy is off key because the band is SO tight.

Good videos all around! This is what happens when the modern pop star can't rely on studio trickery, but actually has to sing in tune:

But hey, if you've got a semi-famous father and you look kind of sleepy, you're bound to become a star no matter how crappy you really sing. Poop star!

Sheesh, I know its not what you were talking about, but the drums sound awful, kick drum is very triggered sounding. I hate bloody drum triggers.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Jungle man" live in 1985 during their first European tour supporting George Clinton. I guess the sound says enough here...

Flea was out, but it handled it gracefully and addressed it afterwards if you watch it.

 

[Jake of Bass]

It sounds like Flea's E string is the main culprit.


edit: Woops, I didn't read the 2nd page before posting!

This is ancient history, and may be fixed by now, but the original recording of "Season of the Witch" by Donovan? The bass is flat outta tune. Who ever is playing it is also really at it halfheartedly as well. Like the 5 note line is really taking it's toll on him. those were the days!
