Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 he'll either grow out of it or have a great future in incidental music for cheesy American TV programmes Quote
bubinga5 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ? grow out of what... some of his playing is very musical... why cant he turn out to be an even better player than he is now, or is that too much to bear.. what a negative response to a talent... everytime this lad gets put up there always seems to be an underlying sense of jealousy.... the guy can play and hes young....so what??? stupid thread..

skidder652003 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 i think for an eleven year old, he's an incredible talent, once the flashy "look at me" stuff wears thin I imagine he'll grow into an amazing musician. Quote
flyfisher Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 He's a kid, of course he's going to go for the flashy/trashy stuff at his age. Might take him another 10 years to grow out of it, who knows. But there's no doubt he has talent and it would be a crime to dissuade him from playing. We might be watching the next Victor Wooten. At least he's not rapping. Quote
Gust0o Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1339664335' post='1692084'] At least he's not rapping. [/quote] Or loitering outside corner shops and pestering passers-by to buy him fags, as is the great British childhood tradition of modern years. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) He's eleven? Sorry - I take it back, I though he was a [s]midget[/s] little person. Edited June 14, 2012 by Jean-Luc Pickguard Quote

El Bajo Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Little sh*t hehe. I thinks its awesome. Theres always going to be kids like this in any field, like when a 5 year is completing a university degree in quantum physics, its just one of those amazing one in a million kids that just 'get it'. I like the way he has to play with grown ups becasue no one else his age can play to his standard Quote
Big_Stu Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Look on the bright side; he had the common decency to stop Clutterbucking after 10 seconds and play a groove, something that didn't grate. Quote
xilddx Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1339655759' post='1691947'] Is that a ramp I spy? [/quote] Don't think so, just because he's a midget doesn't mean he's disabled. Quote
TheGreek Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Hasn't this been up before? - at least twice? - the kid's probably about 18 now.. Quote

[/quote] Probably ............. he's maybe looking for a new drummer by now. Anyone know of any drummers at the wrong gig? Quote
bigjohn Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) If I saw a grown up playing that I wouldn't like it. Midget, dwarf or disabled child I still don't like it. Making my toes curl. And not in a good way. Edited June 14, 2012 by bigjohn Quote

Chris2112 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Aside from the inane slap, the playing isn't too bad. The band are knocking out forgettable 'fuzak' but the kid is doing a fine job. Quote

chrismuzz Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Saw this ages ago, this kids got crazy skills whatever your tastes are. Hopefully as he gets older his ability (and taste/feel/musicality) will only improve! Quote
debwilliams Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 He is pretty amazing. Love or hate what he does, he has above average skill, hope he does great things. Quote
