I really want that ferrari dammit.

My integrity is NEVER in question since I have none.  I'm a SALESMAN fer god's sake!  :P

Still, if I was to make a statement such as, "well I finally bought that stupid car for $50,000", and someone was to say "as if you did"(Drew), then be sure you will see a picture of me humping er driving my new beast. 

That is to say, I will BACK UP a statement instead of just saying "bugger off".  Well I may say something like that, but only to Drew in PM  ;)

Drew, you know, I think people would think we don't see eye to eye from time to time!  How far from the truth!  Eh, what's that?  ;D

Oh and stop with your tangerial messages (no I didn't make that word up!)

OMG!!1  K3WL!
Back for nostalgia, based on nostalgia.

I've heard you mutter it aloud, stop using your Jedi mind tricks on me!  I think it's the half-hoser in me and the half-redneck in you...at least half of us can agree with the other half.  Oh, and I don't look down on you for loving moose in that special way that's never spoken about in public.   :-X                   ;)

Yes I agree 100%! I don't believe he is 8 though. He may be 12, but the kid is amazing. When I was 12, I was trying to play the three cords in Smoke On The Water.

If anyone has any negativity towards an 8-10-12 y/o kid, that can play like that, they are just plain "Jealous!"
Big deal. The kid can move his fingers fast. Not one ounce of expression or feeling in any of it. But with a bit of luck his technical skills will stand him in good stead for the future if he learns to express himself through music instead of what he's doing now which is basically showing off. That music didn't say anything except "Look at me! Look how clever I am!"

(and before anyone thinks I hate technical shredders go listen to Tony MacAlpine. Pyrotechnics and expression don't have to be mutually exclusive.)

Give the kid a break, he's only 8.

well.. that kid is good... I gave him that... I'm sure he practice a lot and has a lot of hard work behind the scene...

but somehow, I just don't enjoy his performance... I don't feel his music....

I mean... lightning fingers... perfect memory... yes, impressive... somehow... it also gets old evry fast....

I would rather watch and listen to some simple, harmony, music / songs....

but in no way I'm trying to put him down....  ;) ;)
good for him to have that skill at that age...


Another Brilliant mind ruined by education....  :p

The kid is great but he needs to play something more catchy like this:
