WTF Are People Saying
Sado-man on Geek House Kimura on Geek House Davian on Another Typical Day on the… eirraca on R. Kelly’s Dream Gi… eirraca on Check Out That Grill
I think that’s the Victoria Vader Violinist! He hangs out in downtown Victoria, BC and plays the violin while hitting buttons on his chest to make Vader-y noises. Here’s info on him: http://tourismmall.victoria.bc.ca/travelmagazine/2008july.html and video: http://www.videosift.com/video/Darth-Vader-w-Violin-Gives-Props-to-Dark-Side-Victoria-BC
This is Victoria, BC, and Darth on the violin is a regular in the downtown area.
I cannot imagine him doing anything other than a violin solo so epic that it has caused his cape to billow
Why??
@dvb
Yep, It looks like he is at the bottom of Government Street, right before the Inner Harbour.
Have a look at that, man. The violin where the strings are meetin is glowing white. Thats the force, yo
And guys who recognise him: Does he have a name? Or do folks just call him Darth?
This is totally like the second coming of Buckethead. Cept Buckethead has yet to die.
@Nefelpitou
and so epic that he pushes the ground down beneath him
I’ve seen this guy in Charlottetown, PEI.
This inspired me..
Vader went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for a Jedi soul to steal
He was in a bind
‘Cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Ridin’ on a speeder and runnin’ it hot
And Vader jumped
Up on a ewok stump
And said boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn’t know it
but I’ve a light saber too
And if you care to take a dare I’ll make a bet with you
Now you swing a pretty good saber, boy
But give the sith lord his due
I’ll bet a saber of gold
Against your soul
‘Cause I think I’m better than you
The boy said my name’s Skywalker
And it might be a sin
But I’ll take your bet
And you’re gonna regret
‘Cause I’m the best there’s ever been
Luke warm up your Force and swing your saber hard
Cause hell’s broke loose in Georgia and Vader deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny saber made of gold
But if you lose Vader gets your soul.
Vader opened up his cape
And he said I’ll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he shot across the row
Then he pulled the saber across the swing
And it made a [sic] evil hiss
And a band of stormtroopers joined in
And it sounded something like this
[Instrumental]
When Vader finished
Luke said well you’re pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it’s done
He played Fire on the Death Star
Run boys, run
Vader’s in the House of the Rising Sun
Banthas in a bread pan picken’ out dough
Solo does your dog bite
No child, no
[Instrumental]
Vader bowed his head
Because he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden saber
On the ground at Luke’s feet
Luke said, Vader just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a b!tch
I’m the best there’s ever been
And he played Fire on the Death Star
Run boys, run
Vader’s in the House of the Rising Sun
Banthas in a bread pan picken’ out dough
Solo does your dog bite
No child, no
[Instrumental to end]
@Mizak
WIN
@Nefelpitou
My family calls him Darth Fiddler. I’m not sure if that what’s he calls himself.
Sorry for the spelling mistake…
I meant to say “I’m not sure if that’s what he calls himself.”
I have an urge to place a dollar in your hat…
Now, that’s just an awesome photo.
@Mizak
Haha, I enjoy the “I done told you once you son of a b!tch” part because Luke, he is his father. bwa?
This picture… it’s so great, so very awesome.
haha this guy fiddles right by where I work.. one time I walked by him and he made those creepy asthma sounds at me
apparently he is actually quite a scary looking guy with the mask off.
@Mizak
Can you work it to the tune of the Imperial March?
Dude, I saw this guy on a band trip to Victoria two years in a row. He kept talking about how he was one with the cosmos of the universe, so we decided to fuck with him.
Huh. I actually know this guy personally. I need to go tell him that he is on his way to becoming a successful internet meme. *warning* Never talk to this man on Acid, because your brain will leak out of your skull. And that is speaking from experience. Also, he never washes his costume and therefore smells terrible
Mizak, that was awesome!
@Mizak
The guy is actually pretty good – I enjoy him at least – and his last name is McKenna. Have had a few conversations with him over the years. Seems to like it here. Scroll down to see a couple more pics here:

wow… some people really do have no lives…
ps: for those peoples that would turn around and say i have no life cos im commenting on it.. i do have a life, its just that work is the most boring place in the world…
@Mizak
You win a shiny new internet!
Is that a Stradivaderus?
@Nefelpitou
That white stuff is rosin dust. There is no magic.
@Amanda
Definitely the guy from Victoria. Nutty!
Bwahahahahahahaha No instrument suites an evil villain better than a violin. He can play sad tunes when the good guy dies (Song titled: “I killed your friend with a FORCE propelled fire extinguisher”) and his own theme music… Don’t know how he would do the theme music though. da da da dun ta da da ta da.
LOL I wish I had thought to send his picture in. Every time someone comes to visit me we take a drive towndown to see Darth fiddling away! Certainly adds flavour to Victoria’s downtown!
Charlie Daniels so needs to do that new version w/Vader
Those from Victoria: What sort of tunes does he play? He reminds me a bit of heavy-metal violinist at Herald Square NYC. But, of course, in a helmet and cape.
Dude has a myspace page

Then Vader went to Alabama with a banjo on his knee
loooooooooove the post title! rofl!
I totally painted that dude lol http://www.noitartsulli.com/illustration.htm
He has a page on Facebook, too:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Darth-Fiddler/85488324124?ref=nf
What’s up with his legs in this pic though?
This really needs to be Photoshopped, just to light up that bow….
@Mizak
WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN. XDDDDD
Kudos!
I’ve seen this in Victoria when I was returning from an AK cruise. It’s a whole long thing, and skywalker is there. Very amusing, and odd, which is why it so amusing I would imagine.
LOL this just cracked me up. I hope he’s good at least.
he’s pretty epic, but without the helmet he looks pretty hilarious. originally it was just the helmet and cape, but then he modded some football gear and there we have it. You could say he has no life, you could also say that he makes a killing as a street musician. People all over north america know him now. He really is a victoria icon, even if he smells like a dead animal from wearing a black costume in the 30 degree summer days.
This guy plays just outside the building that both myself, my fiancee and our roommate work in, on Government Street in Victoria, BC. He’s a fairly regular fixture. Very cool.
Confirmed for the psychotic Darth Vader guy. He’s been known to be violent.
Tennessee here…lmfao!!!
YYYEEESSSSSSSSSS!
I’ve known him for 17 years, and he’s a really good guy. He has a beautiful wife and leads a normal life when he’s not performing.
@Amanda
That’s exactly who it is. I know the fellow from high school. I even gave him a friendship ring
New Darth Fiddler video by Victoria filmmaker Allen Agopsowicz:
http://www.youtube.com/user/allen2580a#p/a
Oddly epic. Wish I could fave.
BTW, why can’t I? D8>
I know him. His name is ‘Zorak’. He told me when I bought his CD – and it came with a map to his home planet. No joke. If you ever see him, buy his CD. He makes Kraftwerk and Naked City look normal.
I totally have that CD too – it ROCKS!!! He’s totally into some cool shit, with and w/o the violin.
Vader went down to Georgia, he was looking for a son to kill..
There’s a new interview with him here! http://bit.ly/i7IAqu
Darth Fiddler was on Mythic City too, last Halloween! http://bit.ly/fu6uRk
