UPDATE: Dangerous Minds has a Q&A with the guitar soloist in their comments section…

Hello. I apologize for the rhythmless trainwreck of a song before you. The bassist and singer take all of this very seriously. This stuff is of paramount importance. They recorded this and asked me and a drummer to come play some parts on it. Whenever friends do this, I just follow ther direction blindly, letting them do whatever they want. This stuff will never get out to the public, right? Wrong on this one. So I guess this is me defending myself and the drummer. We are not members of the band. We were not asked if this could be made public on YouTube. If we had been, we would have undoubtedly said no. I guess we could have saved them a lot of trouble if we had just told them from the beginning their recording sucked…

If anybody’s interested in seeing my actual band (which actually is an intentional joke, unlike Final Placement) this clip is from the “Talent Show” at school last year. Crap quality, crap playing, but a lot of fun.  [I put the post it in our comments section – Editor]

Can’t stop watching this. It’s a video for a song called “Shine” by some kinda New Wavey/punk/tone deaf Christian rock band from a high school in Midland, Texas (George W. Bush’s hood), called Final Placement. It’s soo fucking terrible it’s fantastic — and just when you think it can’t get any worse/better, they start doing a Rockettes-style kick line, the guitarist shreds an off-key solo and they pretend to knock over a Stonehenge-looking boulder formation. Guess this is what happens when Satan is removed from rock & roll:
