I wonder if anyone ever tried distorting a banjo and using it in a heavy metal band.

 

[Olgaline]

Uuuh, youtube thingy, will watch!

There is such a thing as a 'ukulele banjo' or 'banjo ukulele'. Ukulele is very similar to the banjo but with a slightly softer tone I think. This guy plays all sorts of stuff on his. Try this Beetles tune out:

it's a ukulele, it's got absolutly nothing to do with a banjo.
if it's close to anything it'd be closer to a mandolin, but not really either

Jake is ace tho

Bet Jake could play that on a Banjo. Not sure what is would sound like though . Redneck version!

hes playing a banjo in a trad irish metal band, how could you not be happy?

Its impossible to play the banjo and look hard
its simply not the musician's weapon of choice for kicking someone's head in
