[Hardrock69]

Dude, you got it going on. VERY good work.

Keep after it, and you may have a career.

[Seshmeister]

Ok, it's wunnnnnderful!!!

No need for improvement, kid...

Go get drunk and high with the losers...

Your original post in this thread has been bugging me all day.

Congratulations you actually made me get annoyed about a dumb internet post, something I pride myself for not doing.

Anyone who has been around here for a while will know you as the music troll who always has something negative to say with absolutely nothing to back that up.

If you were the best guitarist in the world, better at drums than Neil Peart and a better bass player than Billy Sheehan your comments would still be ridiculous but we will never know because in 13 years you have still never posted anything you have done.

The thing is though that no one of any fucking merit at all would have a go at the guy in this thread for his ability. It's an incredible effort particularly for someone so young.

You don't seem to see how bad it makes you look. For years I've been biting my tongue on this and particularly at the moment because I've just posted some music myself I didn't want it to look petty but I don't care at this point.

For your own sake SHUT THE FUCK UP!

If you were anything other than incredibly frustrated with your own lack of achievement you would not be posting this and I promise you that's what almost everyone else sees when you do this. If you were Eddie Van Halen you would look like a dick. You just look like a total fucking dick.

The only reason I'm making this post is in case this incredibly talented kid didn't see your post for what it was - frustrated jealously.

Maybe you shouldn't underestimate the guy, and who's jealous ??

And don't be so worried about a message on a message board, eh ??

[Seshmeister]

And while I'm ranting on this...

I honestly think you are probably a pretty shit guitarist.

All the good guitarists I've ever met have been modest because they are good enough to know they aren't that good.

The great guitarists are almost always even more humble.

Many guitarists have a bit of an ego but I've never ever met one who was any good that would have a go at a young drummer for that performance.

Yeah I am a little jealous of the guy. To be able to do all three instruments at what 'A third of your age?'.

Plus he has the balls to post it too despite people like you putting him down. Under his own name too.

While you sit there behind an alias year after year doing what exactly?

[ELVIS]

I didn't put him down...

[Hardrock69]

Oh....so you said his guitar and bass skills were amazing?

Backpedal much, idiot?

[Seshmeister]

Not bad at all...

Guitar and bass kinda suck though...

What???

Have you got some sort of musical Asperger Syndrome?

[ELVIS]

Did you take too much drama with your vodka today or something ??

You're killing the dude's thread...

[VAiN]

Fantastic work, Josh! You're a pure talent, keep it up and don't listen to anyone's shit.

[chefcraig]

Very well done, and highly inspired. It is very cool that instead of coming up with a clip of a dork playing some old tune (think Rush's "Working Man" or some Led Zep Bonzo drum solo, the kid chose this).


Hat's off to the fellow. And those giving worry about the sonics...really, give me a fucking break. The kid did just fine. And if you ever heard me mangling Peter Frampton and KISS songs when I was 15, you'd understand.

Good work, mother-fucker.

[Hardrock69]

I think he is doing great, despite what Elvis thinks.

Elvis, always taking the high road of throwing in the "vodka" comment after getting owned.

Vodka and all, Sesh has posted some pretty good shit and impressive work of his own lately.

We're still waiting for yours, guitar zero. Or, won't your wife let you play anymore because it might interfere with her listening to One Direction?

[Nitro Express]

The kid did good. He would sound more like Alex if he used bigger sticks. Al uses huge drum sticks and it's one of the reasons he gets that big sound.

Cheers guys! Some awesome, genuine and constructive comments from everyone. I really appreciate the feedback! Interesting...I actually used the signature 2008 AVH tour sticks on this cover, I don't think there's any bigger than those!
