he said stinking hard, lol. they call it "expression", doesn't mean the song stinks. it's just hard to perform

Wow... if you look at his fingers, he taped them because the nail split from the finger...

He has such a powerful sound...

@Ksnowball7

Its all about the performance.

If you can make a video and post playing this song with as much expression, you'll be able to say this song "sticks hard".

Till then, fuck off.

I think this is pretty much the perfect tempo. No need to play any faster than this. A touch slower would be okay too, but this is definitely in the middle of the sweet spot.
