Awesome Samurai Guitarist

If there’s one thing we learned from watching every episode of Hell on Wheels, it’s that the wild west really did have a crazy train that went off the rails. All Aboaaaard! for Samurai Guitarist’s cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s classic, with a spaghetti western twist.

Musician Steve “SamuraiGuitarist” Onotera presents a hyperbolic short film about an itch he’s been wanting to scratch – stringing together all 37 of his stomp boxes, to hear what it sounds like when he routes his guitar through them all. That Miku stomp box is hilarious.

We can say with 100% certainty that when you click “play” that you’re going to be subjected to Rick Astley’s way overplayed Never Gonna Give You Up. But Samurai Guitarist has breathed new life into the track by revamping it in the style of old spaghetti western soundtracks.

“Deck the halls with human bodies.” Samurai Guitarist’s talkbox-enhanced take on Brenda Lee’s classic ’50s Christmas track is essentially what would happen if the Flight of the Conchords’ classic The Humans are Dead put on a holiday special.
