Mean Melin is Las Vegas' air guitar champion. Next up, the U.S.? (updated)

Posted by Justin Kendall on Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 7:41 AM

Update (7:41 a.m. June 2): Kansas City air guitar champ Eric "Mean" Melin slayed Las Vegas Friday night, qualifying for the U.S. Air Guitar Championships in New York City next month. Melin's one-minute, sweat-soaked metal meltdown to Slayer's "Angel of Death" is now on YouTube. Beware: There are naughty words (it wouldn't be metal without 'em).


Original story (8:30 a.m. June 1): Eric "Mean" Melin let his air guitar dreams ride in Las Vegas Friday night, and he finally hit the jackpot.

Melin won the Las Vegas regional competition by the slimmest of margins, edging The Fro 46.3 to 46.2 at one of Vegas' Hard Rock Cafes. Melin apparently also toppled WEC cage fighter Miguel Angel Torres, known in U.S. Air Guitar as Thor the Mexican, and what looks to be a dude with a sock over his wang (you've been warned).

Melin's ticket is finally punched for the U.S. Air Guitar Championships in New York City on July 22. Vegas was his final stand for 2010.

In April, Melin hit the road for a five-city

air guitar tour, but despite strong showings (finishing in second

place twice and third three times), he didn't qualify for the

championships.

Dear Canada Drugs Online,

Post #2. The Fucking Pitch blocked the first one.

As I already said (The message was not conveyed), I thought that I had communicated with the world's most ignorant pile of shit. I was wrong. Then there was you. I read, re-read, and re-re-read your message and was amazed at your lack of clarity. Are you fucking retarded? Seriously- what fucking drugs does Satan have you on? YOU ARE A MORON. Do you play guitar? Want to play guitar? Play air guitar? Masturbate to guitars? What in the holy hell are you trying to say? Anyway, I wish you the best in trying to figure out whatever the fuck it is you are trying to do.

Sincerely,

Everyone with a fucking brain.
