[ThePedr090]

He gets up and walks away at the end in case the extreme concentration of winning causes a singularity in the immediate area.

[RivaDark]

@ThePedr090 haha no... that's what happens when jason plays :)

O.O amazing job, man. May I ask how you get your guitar tone?

[RivaDark]

@Thisguy1240 thanks dude! yeah sure, i use a Digitech RP1000, Mesa Dual Rect simulator, and a bit of EQ in cubase. thanks again!

[RivaDark]

@spc130189 ;)

[georgiejames]

I was already blown away by your dream theater solos from when you were 15 but this? man i have no words.... well, except that you are a fucking god !!

[RivaDark]

@georgiejames oh man, thanks so much! :)

[real1acer]

wats the name of this song? solo sounds real clean 3 hrs of practice or not.

[RivaDark]

@real1acer thanks heaps man :) the song is called "Devastate"

[wearecorsairs]

@rivadark i hope so. i don't mean to sound like a dick, i just noticed the tone straight away. your sweeping and stuff is all down so i think you got a good chance. i'll share the video around anyway, good luck!

[RivaDark]

@wearecorsairs that's fine man, and thanks heaps! :)

[andylunt2]

I'd like to see you play the solo with a proper tab for it, reckon you've got the speed to pull it off, but this solo just doesn't sound quite right (just my opinion, soz!), but you're a good player, best of luck to you! =)

[RivaDark]

@andylunt2 that's cool haha, i know, it's heaps sloppy, plus i learnt it by ear, so it's probably all wrong

[cutepoison98]

you can get this man, i hope you do.

[RivaDark]

@cutepoison98 thanks man :D

[DrLachyBrown]

Hey man. You definitely deserve to get into a band as popular as BoO. But I really think that being in a band like that would restrict you as a musician. I know that not being in a band would be as frustrating as hell (I am in the same boat and it sucks arse). Your solo stuff is far better than any of their songs. I hope you get the recognition you deserve. This is all my own retarded opinion so take it as you wish. Keep up the awesome work mate :)

[ltayl1]

@DrLachyBrown I agree completely with you mate. Roma's solo work kicks ass!

[RivaDark]

@DrLachyBrown haha man, thanks so much!

[aranmitchell]

nice one roma

[dhracster]

The best of luck, man! You deserve this.

[iamjwillow]

amazing job, man, really! wish you the best of luck

[RivaDark]

@iamjwillow thanks heaps man! :)

[wearecorsairs]

(not being rude, i just think it sounds like shit seeing as you're trying out for BoO haha, i would have expected better in all honesty).

[RivaDark]

@wearecorsairs that's alright, thanks for your honesty. yeah i know, it's heaps sloppy... but that's due to the fact that i learnt it 3 hours before video-taping... anyhow, this isn't the only video i auditioned with. whatever happens, happens. no drama :)

[cgafken]

@wearecorsairs his playing is great, just a sloppy tone. But I'm sure BOO can see past that.

[wearecorsairs]

tone is awful bro. good luck!

[xwhatthatsmelllikex]

very sick man. great job.

[RivaDark]

@xwhatthatsmelllikex why, thank you! :)

[blahblah0nana]

Fuckin' aye, Roma! nice one dude :)

[RivaDark]

@blahblah0nana thanks heaps! :)

[eazyb33zy]

Is BOO's newest album played with 7-strings?

[RivaDark]

@eazyb33zy yeah definitely man

[glauberbrennon]

Ur in dude, wtf

[RivaDark]

@glauberbrennon pfff i wish! ;)

[IIEL3CTRiicKx]

Rhythm was a tiny bit messy but man when that solo kicked in wow. I don't think you missed one note. 

[RivaDark]

@IIEL3CTRiicKx thanks heaps man! i actually did fuck it up a lot, but that's what happens when you learn this song in 3 hours haha. thanks again :)

[trentwiseman]

Awesome man :D

[RivaDark]

@trentwiseman thanks dude :)

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Audition? did someone leave?

[RivaDark]

@ArtificialFlavaFTB2 yeah jason

[ODARuination]

@RivaDark By leave you mean kicked out.

[RivaDark]

@ODARuination shit, really? i don't actually know what happened, just read on their bandpage that they parted ways

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

Shit Roma... nailed it. Keep these sick vids coming.



[RivaDark]

@Tori965 haha that would be pretty cool :)

[FPSWildWolf]

Now THAT, my good friends, is where babies come from. Specifically, babies that grow up to be famous guitarists.

[RivaDark]

@FPSWildWolf hahaha too kind man! thanks heaps :)

[fondlemytrigger]

Yeah... I can play any solo you throw at me. But first! I must assume the position.

Fvcking awesome!



[RivaDark]

@fondlemytrigger haha thanks man! man.... the solo in this song - especially figuring it out by ear - is absolutely bullshit :P
