If you're wondering if from the movie "crossroads"

:Q

Ralph Macchio does a good job faking it though.

Great soundtrack by Ry Cooder. I love the track Feelin' Bad Blues.

Why in every guitar thread does DragonForce have to be mentioned?

Faster ? Better

There has been numerous threads on this clip, but it is still great!!!

I have a couple of downloadable versions if anyone wants one.

They're sort of fascinating to me, but then again so is a multicar pileup on the freeway, and that's better to listen to.

All skill; No soul.

 

[Phokus]

I just watched the movie, it's pretty damn good!

 

[Slacker]

Here is a better clip, I capped it and f22raptor got it up on youtube back in march of this year.

atotfile8 Crossroads clip

Starts at the crossroad and goes all the way through the battle, good video quality too.

What is it about extremely technically skilled musicians that makes them incapable of writing a decent three-minute rock song? It's a crime that so much work went into such embarrassing material. It's like hand-carving carving an exquisitely detailed sculpture of a Kia Sedona in Italian marble.
