Who is the biggest poser??

[DaveInSoCal]

Ok, I hate posers but there are quite a few out there!
Please submit your most hated poser videos.

My first submission is Jhonny Lang, it's an old video but he still pretty much sucks IMHO.

 

[rotorhead]

Anyone from the hair bands, with special credit given to the band Europe.

 

[Chubbles]

I thought Kenny Wayne Shepherd was a poser when he was a teenager. That was many years ago. I saw him in concert recently and he has blues in his soul. I enjoyed that so much.

(That sounds stupid, but I don't know how else to phrase it.)

 

[AngelDeVille]

He makes more money in the music business than you do. What a poser!

 

[Norton]

Janick Gers the third guitar player in Iron Maiden. Comically out of place. Plays with his feet even.

 

[NoiseNinja]

I think I've found the winner:


Ok...


...



Though this guy might come in as a close second:


But in Lil Wayne's defense, unlike Kanye, he never actually claimed to be the biggest rock star ever, nor did he associate himself with one of the greatest rock bands in history by doing a cover (or to be more exact karaoke) of one of their most iconic song, only to merciless butcher it with his complete lack of talent.

 

[PixMix]

Not that I'm a fan of Jonny Lang or Kanye, but it's hard to top '80s when it comes to ultra-cheesy poser material. I agree with @rotorhead on Europe, but many other mainstream bands of the time fit the poser bill, regardless of the (quality?) of the music they made.

 

[Tony M]

I've never given this even the slightest thought.
They are not worth my time, whoever they are.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Tony M is the POSER, Boy.

OOps, I thought you said POSTER BOY.........

I nominate Tony M and the POSTER boy for cool guitar rockin, slick witted humor toutin, guitar player of the year 2019.

Hey Brother, long time no see.

 

[Astral Traveler]

Oh, you did not just trash Europe!!

 

[RhinestoneStrat]

I've never given this even the slightest thought.
They are not worth my time, whoever they are.

You preach it there Tony Manhattan!

[Biddlin]

Me. I've made several careers out of it, never been caught out.

 

[Huckleberry]

Joe B. I just don't like that guy for some reason. Kanye is a good choice too.

Thanks mate! You’re also on Instagram?

 

[pancake81]

I am not. I missed the whole Facebook/Instagram phase. Although at 35, I understand many older than me utilize those great tools. I don’t have anything against them, but tend to put my screen time into the forum. But I sure enjoy reviewing your photos and playing. Some great licks there.

Also, the first photo of your guitar that highlights the wood grain is killer.
