    Hard to believe I missed this for almost 10 years. Great job by all on the tune. Vocal was spot on, and the guitar break was incendiary.

      Exactly! Do stupid things, you'll get billions of views. Work years on an instrument (i mean 4 people work years on an instrument) and produce positive and quality music, you won't even get 200K views in 7 years hahahaha. HAHA but so SAD!
