Umm.....Anybody seen this?

Yes. Yes I have as it was posted on here the other day. 

It's probably exactly what you think it is going to be like and is correspondingly good or bad. 




Edit: wasn't trying to sound snotty, apologies if it did!

Aww man, didn't realise it had already been posted. I've been away from here for a couple of days.  

Didn't sound snotty - I knew what you meant.

I haven't seen/heard it, so I'm checking it out now

I like this Paul Gilbert vid too

Instantly forgettable like most guitar music.  Those guys look very capable.  Pity is they are not playing music that listeners might actually enjoy hearing.

Oh dear. I gave it about a minute and a half. I haven’t got a clue who Miller is... but it sounds to me like a bunch of middle aged men jamming down the pub. And I say that as a middle aged man. That Gilbert guy - often spoken about but what does he do? Play guitar in Mr Big, right? Which is...er...perhaps a little past it’s sell by date. He can ‘play’ okay, if you like that style. But don’t take on one of the greatest funky groove songs of all time and do 80s noodling all over it.

Speak for yourself and don't make assumptions for others. I loved it.

No idea who any of these people are, but I liked it. Could / should have cut it down to 5 or 6 mins though.

They're white, Jim. (The beat is too straight.)

Pablo seems to be attempting to channel Nineties-style Jeff Beck.

Superstition is my favourite song. For me, this misses the point. It just hasn't got that swing. It's a bit leaden.

Has anyone mentioned the Phil X version yet?

You have now.

I’ve seen this one before...it’s all kinds of awesome. The Paul Gilbert one, not so much

I have always held the Phil X version in very high regard, and even though I posted the Paul Gilbert vid, I still think the Phil X version is better. 

But regardless of how people feel about either one of them, I'm not not going to knock them, who am I to judge? They've both sold more records than me!

It’s all in the snare drum timing.

The drummer with Pablo is good but lands the 3 almost exactly on the beat. The drummer with PhilX is intentionally late by the right amount to make the feel swing.

Keep on dancin’.
