That kid has so much talent!
Who would be the world's best guitar player? Names that come to mind are:
- Slash (Guns 'n Roses)
- Brian May (Queen)
- Eric Clapton
- Carlos Santana

Of that list,you left out
-Pete Townsend(The Who)
-Gary Moore(Gary Moore)
-Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin)
-Mark Knoffler(Dire Straights,very very under rated guitarists,one of the best in my opinion)
-and the lead guitarist from Black Sabbath(he invented that hard rock sound wen he cut off the tips of his fingers on his strumming hand while doing metal work in his garage)

I had to watch this a few times to fully grasp what is happening here.
I feel sorry for his mother. I'm sure she did not expect to have to push out a guitar, pic, and amp system while giving birth to him as well.
The doctors were surprised to find that he did not have an umbilical cord, but a whole string quartet and piano backup playing a cord during his arrival
Seriously, this kid looks as if he was born with all of that in his hands.
I wish him the greatest of luck and fortune with all the wisdom to make the right decisions.
Ladies and gentleman: THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN A STAR IS BORN!!!
ROCK ON!!!

WOW, that kid has tallent. I ran that clip several times, he is good. There is something magical about playing an instrument like that.
I had a school friend who could play the drums, not only could he play but he had tallent, sometimes there was more that 20-30 of us at his home just to listen to him play. While still at school he played at live gigs all over the country. I watched a gig of his band at the Chelsea in Hillbrow around 1987.
A car accident put an end to Gary Talyard's talent.

now that really is kick-ass.....the guy from sabbath is Tony Iommi-the bassist Geezer was real good to
on the side of bassists, Flea from red hot chilli peepers and the guy from H.E.D are considered by many as 2 of the best in the world.
Dimebag Darrel from Pantera was also a highly regarded guitarist till a crazy fan shot him
drummers...i definitely say Lars Ulrich from metallica....and altho they r a bit heavy, the drummer from Slipknot(dnt let yr kids listen to them-never kno who they
kill)is really good-they way he hits those double base drums is insane
just my opinion

Johnny de Ridder (lead), Hunter Kennedy (rhythm) and Wynand Myburgh (bass) from Fokofpolisiekar not too bad either - these guys are from Tygerberg area (H_R's valley?) and they ROCK

Lars is good,im a drummer,and if you listen to metalicas stuff,hes rifs sound easy but if you pay attention to it,or read it you will see its crazy,off beat,technical stuff,the drummer from slipknot is crazy good aswell,Joey Jordison,but he his not the best,top 5,but not the best,the best rated drummer in the world is,and guys google this cat,he goes by the name of Thomas Lang,he has got more speed in his left foot than i do in all my limbs combined x10,incredible,but the best drummer,and all the drummers iv spoken 2 agree is the guy from the Dave Matthews band,Carter Beauford,outplays Thomas without even working up a sweat
