No shit. I never said don't serve the song, your confusing and twisting the issue, calm the fuck down. All I did was respond to your video - to me, that video isn't an example of *excellent* musicianship, although good nonetheless - they're a little overrated to me as musicans. But I agree with you, they can play. If you read on, all these issues have already been resolved. If you just read the rest of the posts and weren't so overeager and defensive, we wouldn't have to run circles over this shit.

What do you mean *sigh*? That's a completely relevant question. People that don't play an instrument don't really have clear insight to how talented a musician is, because they lack context.
