Beethoven a moron, LOL.
You're taking the term hate crew way too literally man.
...and partly sloppy as fuck.
Why the hell would you say that to a kid whose hands are probably less than half the size of yours, and who discovered Children Of Bodom only a year ago?
You have a firm grasp of the obvious!
I went back a couple of pages to look for a video I had posted before, and read this outrageous comment:
Well, despite the fact that you both look like extremely ugly emo kids...
What the hell?! Since when is metal about the way you look? Is this some sort of religious cult, where you better look "metal" or else... Music, and metal in particular, is about INDIVIDUALITY, about nonconformity! And here you are, trying to shame them into a certain mold. And calling them "extremely ugly". Why?!
Those kids didn't look "emo" at all. They simply didn't have long hair (yet?). Big deal! Their hair will grow, but in all likeliness you will remain an insensitive prick for the rest of your life, because such habits are very hard to change.
I'm amazed that you were not reprimanded or warned by any of the admins of this forum. Lots of teenagers have already killed themselves because of cyber-bullying, and here you are, posting one nasty comment after the other. These kids are not characters in some video game that you can just shoot down to feel better about yourself; they're human beings!
From where this harsh nature of yours? Were you shamed like that by your father or other adults in your life? No healthy male role models around? If so, get help before you seriously hurt someone. And don't have any children until you've learned the art of encouraging young people to excell in what they do, in what they are PASSIONATE about.
Constructive feedback, that's what any person who posts a video here needs, not insults.
He's not the best player but and he still needs to learn a lot (especially the lead parts which are horrible) but - OMG!1!!!11 - he's just 11 years old. So respect for his actual skills.
Yes, I'm aware that you also give "compliments" now and then (generally of the obvious kind), but please, think a bit deeper before you write ANYTHING negative about others, especially children and teenagers.
Here's a cool, constructive comment that was posted by another forum member, in response to the same video (Thaddie's first major live performance, at the same venue where COB performed in 2009):
Damn, I love this kid, I bet he's glad for having discovered Bodom.
Still, why so many great players in the world, who can't make interesting music themselves?
Actually, Thaddie IS composing his own riffs and solos (and drum rhythms), and when covering songs he likes to improvise. But he doesn't want me to record and upload any of that because he doesn't feel confident about his skills yet.
Thaddie doesn't limit himself to covering COB songs. He likes Slayer, Opeth and lots of other bands. Invariably he's gonna develop his own unique style. He's incredibly intelligent too.
Any intuitive person and TRUE music lover can perceive that this kid is going to be an extraordinary artist. Yes, I'll certainly have the last laugh in this matter.
