Air Guitarists Championship

While I certainly can sympathize with air guitarists, I think some of the attitudes is rather amusing...

from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,89709,00.html

Quote:
“I’ve been practicing my whole life,” said David Jung (aka "C-Diddy"), from Brooklyn, N.Y., backstage before the East Coast Championship. “This is where people begin in rock. It all starts with air.”

Actually, I thought all starts with a real guitar.

Quote:
Hundreds of spectators came out to the Pussycat Lounge in Manhattan for the East Coast show earlier this month.

Pussycat Lounge??? Did they have poles?

Quote:
To make it to the finals, song choice is crucial. One contestant who chose pop tart Avril Lavigne's (search) "Sk8ter Boi" was booed off stage,

File this under "what was he/she thinking???"

Quote:
“This is not a contest, it’s a demonstration of my air supremacy,” C-Diddy said backstage.

He's cocky but not funny.

Quote:
Donning a Samurai headscarf and red kimono — under which a Hello Kitty breastplate smiled — he leapt on stage and whipped up the crowd with his self-described “Asian fury” in a performance he called an homage to “Eddie Van Halen, Mozart and a little bit of Jimi.”

Is that like releasing the f'n fury?

Quote:
While contestants like Jung put effort into their look — teasing up hair into a Poison-esque poof, or bringing props like an empty guitar case — one former World Air Guitar Championship contestant said purists rule.

What? Poison-esque poof is not a purist???

Quote:
If he wins nationals in Los Angeles, C-Diddy will again be performing his signature move, which he called “the arpeggio hammer-sweep: a combination of rapid finger movements going up and down my arm like playing scales," in hopes of taking the world title.

Uh-huh.

Quote:
But Denning said taking air too seriously goes against the spirit of the competition.

“Other contestants might tell you that you need a certain flair and physical dexterity to compete, but that's all bollocks,” he said. “The key is a supreme sense of just how absurd life can get and drinking all the contents of the mini-bar 20 minutes before you go on stage.”

In other word, just Rock On!


Check the runner up caption...

Toby 'The Tobanator' from New Zealand takes second place in the 2002 Air Guitar World Championship.

Is he related to the Shermanator?

Now everyone who goes to Star Trek conventions has someone to make fun of.

Actually, last week I listened to that C-Diddy guy being interviewed on Howard Stern. Howard & Co. were really surprised that he was nowhere near the loser they were expecting...
