ok so youtube has it's uses  - although i still stand behind my conviction that the uses are mostly things done for humor purposes (like here) and that i'd still rather watch everything in somewhat bearable quality and not like this blocky mess if i only could choose damnit!
anyway!
here's one funny site by one finnish guy:

http://www.youtube.com/user/StSanders

he himself overdubbed all these guitar heroes (his own heroes, by the way) with the most horrible and amateurish stuff he could come up with-  his idea was not to mock the artists (he loves them all, actually), but to try and imagine what the world would be like if this was indeed the best guitar playing ever heard.

the artists themselves loved his idea - some of them even wanted to put an official dvd out for all these clips(!) and started a project for it - but guess what? oh yes, of course the record companies and copyright owners behind the video footage asked such HUGE money for themselves, in order to allow these videos being used that it all went down. oh haven't we all heard that before... *sigh*

anyway, the dude was even interview for guitar player magazine :-P :

ps. it's also fun to read the youtube comments, how some people don't even seem to get it that these are joke overdubs.
like this dude saying "green day's guitarrist is so much better than this guy" about the eddie van halen video.  :-D

ps2. ok some of it is really dumb and you probably hate iit (as justifiedly so) if you never liked those artists anyway. anyway!  :P
