Young kids and instruments
Wow. Really? No timing whatsoever and he actually misses the cymbals. It’s not even worthy of my time.

Young kids and instruments
I’ve never heard such awful playing. Is this supposed to be good? I guess so, since the title of the clip says ‘future star.’
I don’t even recognize the song. Or maybe it’s just an improv? Either way, it reminds me of this clip, only that guy kinda knew what he was doing.

Young kids and instruments
I love the guitar, kid. I love the choice of solo, too, one of the few times Kirk‘s wah actually needed to be used.
Cover is bad though. Wait for your fingers to grow longer, you’re too small to cover the frets. Overall pretty sloppy.
Drink milk, stay in school and keeps practicing. Preferably with a metronome (hint hint).

Metal goes acoustic
I must admit, as incredibly Metal (and handsome) I am, I am actually a big fan of acoustic music too. Don’t get me wrong, I love distortion and blast beats as much as the next man, but there’s something about that clean and pure sound you get from an acoustic guitar that I love. One of my favorite past times, when I’m bored (which is a lot, because I have no life), is checking out some acoustic covers of Metal tracks on Youtube. Ok, so some really suck, but some are undeniably brilliant.
What is my favorite cover that I’ve been listening to recently? Well it happens to be the awesome cover of Machine Head‘s Now I Lay Thee Down, which can be found above. The musician does a brilliant job at recreating the track for the acoustic guitar.
Friday Top 10: YouTube cliches that need to go
It’s hard to picture the internet without YouTube nowadays, but it’s pretty shocking to think the site was started in 2005. Do you remember what it was like before? Usually idiotic streaming via Windows Media Player that took forever and looked like shit. Before that you simply had to download the clips.
Now YouTube is the third biggest website in the world (after Google and Facebook) and it seems like the internet is just dominated by embedded YT clips. But what does this really mean? It means A LOT of idiots have access to it thus we have a lot of crappy videos and retarded comments. I remember the day when people with two digit IQs couldn’t even turn on the computer. Now EVERYONE has internet access, and most people are pretty stupid so you get the idea…
Anyway, I’m gonna list the top 10 most annoying YouTube cliches. Granted, not the most ‘metal’ of articles but hey, these apply mostly to music videos and they can be found on metal videos so you elitist metalheads will be able to relate.
