Lafayette's Shredmeister

Lafayette metal head Seth Thibodeaux has fast fingers, so fast in fact, he recently was named one of 26 semifinalists vying to win Jagermeister's inaugural Shredmeister competition.

Lafayette metal head Seth Thibodeaux has fast fingers, so fast in fact, he recently was named one of 26 semifinalists vying to win Jagermeister's inaugural Shredmeister competition.

The competition is part of the Mayhem Festival, and Shredmeister semifinalists, after getting a chance to shred for 10 seconds on the festival's main stage, were selected at each of the 26 stops along the summer tour, which kicked off in late June featuring headliners Rob Zombie.

Thibodeaux's performance, which is posted below, came on Aug. 3 at the Woodlands, Texas. Thibodeaux, a Broussard native, will now go up against the 25 other semifinalists for a chance to be named one of this year's top 10 Shredmeisters.
