Blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa and TESTAMENT‘s Alex Skölnick weighed a viral video of a man playing his guitar while singing worship songs about Jesus to a plane full of passengers.
The clip that was created on tick tock before split up Reddit‘s Travel Freakout subreddit, features a young man strumming his guitar while singing what looks like a worship song. Several people who appear to be part of the service later sing along, much to the dismay of some other passengers on a supposedly European flight (due to mask restrictions not being enforced). ).
According to TMZ, the video was shot/posted by Jack Jensz Jr.who seems to be some kind of pastor and who started an organization called Kingdom Ministries. Jack and his community were recently in Europe to help the refugees from Ukraine and it is speculated that the clip was shot on a flight to Germany about a week ago.
earlier today, Bonamassa retweeted the video and included the following message: “My only question other than WTF is how did he manage to get the guitar on the plane with no problems?” Oh, and that guy in the blue shirt looks like he’s about to go medieval on the lead singer of the inflight entertainment.”
Skoelnick also chimed in, writing, “Pro guitarist/lover of guitars here. I would support someone who goes full.Belushi‘ (ie ‘Animal shelter’) on the guy. Conveniently, the staff should have put an end to this madness immediately. It not only disturbs most of the passengers, but also causes religious propaganda.”
In the US, national travel laws require airlines to allow guitarists to carry their instruments provided they fit under the seat in front of passengers or in an overhead bin.
In 2003 the Traffic Safety Authority (TSA) and the American Federation of Musicians reached an agreement allowing airlines to treat guitars not only as checked baggage but also as carry-on baggage.
Pro guitarist/guitar lover here. I’d support someone who goes all out on the Belushi (ie, Animal House) guy. Conveniently, the staff should have put an end to this madness immediately. It not only disturbs most of the passengers but also causes religious propaganda.

Jack Jensz Jr. appears to be a leader of this community, but it’s unclear if everyone else on the plane was on the same page with their creed. https://t.co/tikPOeZn9L
