... and lo, the gods of Ibanez and Floyd Rose did grin.

I liked the little instructional-type windows during the guitar duel... "now, you try!"

In a way, those lyrics are kind of touching.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself whistling that chorus on the drive home from work.

The sound and group name feels more like something parodied on Homestar Runner.

I know I'm supposed to laugh at this ostentatious 80'sness and all, but I really liked that song. So much, I want to go look up their other stuff.

Oh Christ, now I've done it. I've gotten myself nerded out of the nerd website.

James... Never, ever load this website again.

I mean it.

We'll be watching.

Dmac will, I mean.

Mmmph?

I wear my nerd crest proudly and will not be mistaken for some other poster with a shred of cool left, thank you.

This had gotten so many hits on YouTube because its featured on Guitar Hero III. It is the most brutal song in the game, and guaranteed to give lesser players horrific hand cramps.

As an actual guitarist, I must scoff at this sentence: "It is the most brutal song in [Guitar Hero], and guaranteed to give lesser players horrific hand cramps."

Scoff! Scoff! Scoff, I say! All GH players are lessers. Non-s, even.

I was torn for awhile but I decided that I like it. And I like Asia too. And Asians too.

Somewhere... deep inside... I wish that it made sense for this to be cool. It's just a leap that can't - or shouldn't - be made.
