This is why Kansas is a fly-over state.

I'll have to check that one out. This one is one of my favorite music videos of all time.

That was almost as dumb as she is hot, which is to say, um... boobies.

Re: I'll Campaign for Hillary if McCain is the Nominee
I almost love her. If Americans weren't so fucking dumb, she'd be better than any agent provocateur the Dems could ever come up with.

Kill them! Kill them All!
Man I love this movie. I can't believe they did that first stunt with no helmet.

Re: 9 Year Old Beats Hardest Guitar Hero Song on Expert
That's impressive. I couldn't get 95% on medium on this song, much less expert.
GilZero: in the time it took you to learn photoshop so you could enhance your avatar, you could have actual muscles. This game came out October 28. I think Herman Li spent a little more than two months getting this good.
mongojazz: You got it backwards. No one said the kid was a musical genius or an excellent guitarist because he did this. Wombat just pointed out that he *already* has excellent rhythm, ie, a pre-existing trait that helps him excel at this. Listen to the strum bar clicks from ~0:28 to ~0:49. Keeping those sixteenths rock steady at about 160 bpm has nothing to do with rote memorization and everything to do with rhythm.
On a less didactic note, why do you get upset by this (or annoyed, or whatever you want to call it) enough to go out of your way to criticize this kid? He's NINE, it's not like he was going to do anything else productive.
Most of the complaints that I've seen about the Guitar Hero games seem to come from musicians who are offended or threatened by the games, but that's just ridiculous. It's fun, and as has been pointed out, it's about as similar to the creative process as your standard FPS is to real life. Get over your insecurity, you can still use your Taylor to pick up freshmen.
The audio desyncs, so it's off by almost a quarter note by the end. Distracting.

Re: U2: Numb
I like this song and I always thought there had to be some symbolism in the video, but was too lazy to try to figure it out. Here's an analysis that I agree with:
