3:13 nearly died laughing. :D

I do not understand why Hendrix's version is the standard of comparison for every electric-guitar rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It's annoying as hell and way longer than it should be. Joe understands that the national anthem of the USA isn't a piece to be drastically stylistically renova...

@RunPoo1 Hendrix and Slash were barely alive during the same time period and play the guitar completely different stylistically. Their skill cannot be compared because superiority is subject to similarity, and Slash and Hendrix are in very few ways similar.

@TheLegoTerminator The only thing that requires purely arm-speed is jacking off. If you defined mechanical skill, you'd have this guy beat.

I love how you can HEAR the Metallica influence in almost every aspect of their sound. It's refreshing to see a band whose roots lie in music and not CORPORATE GREED.

"Now, let me play that slowly." Still twice as fast as I can play it. :P

@deftones720 Okay, let me rephrase that... the cymbal-to-tom ratio is more ridiculous than most drummers. :)

0:40 WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD THROW A CUP AT PAUL GILBERT?!

Also, the arpeggio is possible on one string because he has tentacle-fingers...

Is it me, or does Paul look like he's the only one having any fun?

Something about the epic scream tells me that he had to concentrate like crazy to do it while playing that lick.

@olivierjaquet That, my friend, is what we normally refer to as a dichotomy of opinion. ^_^

There is a point in history past which YOU DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

@TheFlight999 I do now-- and that is exactly what I was talking about. He used recurring patterns within the solo that were unique to Royster and at the same time gave the piece a general theme. Plus, I just like funk a lot better then rock when it comes to drums.

If you're doing older video games like Pac Man and Mario, you should do Metroid or Legend of Zelda. :)

I love how Yoshi's face is the right color to be affected by the green screen back-ground. :D That's awesome dude, nice song.

My reaction to (humorous yet profound event).

People have been saying that Maynard's only musical skill is playing high and loud... did anyone stop to think that he ARRANGED and WROTE some of these pieces? He's not just a trumpet player who can play at insane registers at really forceful volumes. He's a musical genius with a talent for writi...

@doodledo2 I was making what normal people refer to as a joke.

I'll cite my source on this one-- True Blood.

I've liked Chimaira long before I saw this video-- so when I saw they even had videos, I was psyched-- then I saw the keyboard and I was marginally more then mildly disappointed. :P I guess no metal band can be perfect.

0:08 The look on Dwight's face, man... priceless.

Who turned the volume all the way up just to see if the warning was accurate?

I've been there. :)
