Want To Hear 1,951 People Play “Hey Joe” At The Same Time?


Every year, a mind-blowing and ever-increasing amount of guitarists shows up at the Thanks Jimi Festival in Wroclaw, Poland, to jam on “Hey Joe.” In 2006, they broke the world record by pulling together 1,581 budding six-stringers. Earlier this month, they got in shooting range of 2,000. Some clips of the 2008 event below.

    I too hate when Eastern Europeans do stuff in unison. That being said, this was a perfect opportunity for someone to unleash a brown note. You dropped the ball again, Poland.
