In the middle of the current Loserville tour with Limp Bizkit, frontman Fred Durst stirred up excitement when he decided to personally check if Corey Feldman’s viral guitar solo was truly his own. At one of the recent concerts, Durst made it his mission to see if the actor, serving as one of the opening acts, was genuinely playing his much-discussed guitar solo or if it was all just a show.
The Controversy Behind Corey Feldman’s Guitar Solo
The guitar solo played by Feldman has been getting a lot of attention, setting the internet ablaze with rumors. Viewers were talking, and they were skeptical. People were tossing around their opinions, especially after a video of Feldman’s performance circulated online. According to reports from Guitar World, the buzz about Feldman’s guitar chops initially began on TikTok, where viewers weren’t afraid to voice their doubts. “I never seen anyone lip sync a guitar solo,” declared one user, with another humorously dubbing Feldman as “Eddie Van Failin’.”
The debate then escalated to YouTube, drawing in an army of doubters and supporters alike. Among the comments, there were a number of people who firmly believed Feldman knew his way around a guitar. They pointed out his picking technique as evidence that he was authentically playing the instrument.
Not one to sit by silently, Feldman jumped into the fray to clear up the confusion. He shared his thoughts in a comment on a Rock Feed video, highlighting his amusement at the debate over his guitar skills.
“Actually dude I’m playing every single note of it! If that’s what you call them? I’m laughing so hard, cuz that would imply some great guitarist played it for me & I’m an air guitarist. But the best part is I’m not even that good, hence the guitar hero faces. The song is called… wait for it… ‘The Joke.’ It’s been great trollin’ ya, let’s do it again sometime!” proclaimed Feldman in his defense.
Fred Durst’s Live Test
The plot thickened when at one show in Pelham, Alabama, Fred Durst brought a chair onstage during Feldman’s segment. With the audience buzzing with curiosity, Durst looked to unmask the truth. Addressing the crowd, Durst announced, “Word on the street is Corey Feldman is not playing this guitar solo. I wanna know if Corey Feldman is really playing this motherfuckin’ solo, how about you?”
Durst’s approach was direct: he had Feldman play, stop, and then start the solo again several times. This was Durst’s method to prove whether or not Feldman was actually performing live or simply pretending to a pre-recorded track. After closely observing the situation, Durst gave his surprising verdict: “He’s fuckin’ doing it!”
