I like the approach - learning and recording something quickly, but not the results that the musicians have obtained. I'd say it's fair comment... Edited December 29, 2016 by ahpook Quote

For me, I don't have that kind of talent. I'm won't comment. Now, I did take exception with the recent Justin Bieber post. I didn't see any level of talent in the clip. Blue Quote

If nobody ever passed comment on anyone 'better' than themselves then an awful lot of good music (or art of any sort) wouldn't have been made. If fact, I'd say that the questioning of what 'better' means is a big part of an artform's development. Edited December 30, 2016 by ahpook Quote

Kiwi Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 That last comment of his on the video "I'm not gonna do that bit" was so similar to James May I swear they must be related. Quote
