[turtleboy85364]

i agree

[turtleboy85364]

i think everyone here is focusing way too much on this kid being blind... shit he's a good guitarist regardless. but at the same time... i wouldn't be calling this kid the next jimi or "jimi reincarnate" or whatever...

oh and why do you hate tom green so much? i get that he's annoying but shit he cracked me up a few times... or maybe you're like a really big fan and it's a joke?
