The Roth Show: The Oo-oka River Blues

by VHND — updated June 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

The video of “The World’s Most Interesting Man” playing slide guitar with ancient traditional salt shaker(!) and practicing some of his Iaido moves. The music, which could be right at home in a Quentin Tarantino film, features Dave on guitar, and the Kabuki Orchestra performing “The Oo-oka River Blues.” Recorded June 27, 2014, at Onkio Haus in Tokyo. Great music to chill to as we wait for the return of Van Halen! (You might have heard about Van Halen’s secret “project” that we reported on earlier?)

Of course, he’s practiced the art of the Samurai sword for decades. Check out how he rotates his body 360 degrees without much apparent knee or leg movement. Impressive!
