Wow that was....interesting.
THAT'S why I don't work at a music store!
I can't believe people were actually standing there watching him. The guy at the beginning even encourages him!

Yeah buddy. Keep that hair going, brah!

To quote another TB'er:

"May Chris Squire strike you over the head with his Ric".


...now, THAT would be worth watching.

so you've never actually listened to the music of popular rap stuff of the last 20 years than????

seems to me, add an open & drop tuned ragin' full-on guitar playing bar chords, a stupid fast double bass beat and some cookie monster / guinea pig squeel vocals and you got the new co headliner for Ozz-Fest

These days? Yeah...

What song was that? It seemed kinda familiar. Why was he being so cruel to that poor thing, though? You can pick fast and aggressively without smashing your hand into the strings.

It would've been great if he stopped at the end and said "I'll TAKE IT!"

Why don't we have musical instrument activists who scream bloody murder whenever an instrument is treated this way, much in the same way an enviornmentalist goes through the roof when you nail something to a tree...if you think about it, it's pretty much the same thing. Violence against wood

I don't know why he's in a music store in the first place - he should be spending some of his spare cash on bass lessons and saving the rest for a trip to the vasectomy clinic.

I'd be surprised if the bass hadn't taken some damage from that wild, sloppy picking action of his. What a tool.

Plus, there is no need to "rock out" when you're trying a bass/amp in a music shop.

I laughed though, so it was worth seeing, even if just to laugh at that ponce!
