It's his wife's fault.

She's at home telling him he's great, and cool, and hip, and sexy.

And he believes her.


Damn her.

I can definitely see how upper management at Gibson would watch this video and go, "We must have this man as our international brand ambassador."

Craig is a smart guy - he should be smart enough not to dance to OONT-psssh OONT-psssh OONT-psssh techno beats in public, and definitely never dance while playing a guitar solo over that, and ABSOLUITELY NEVER use video dazzle effects of yourself in button-down OfficeWear while soloing over techno beats.

Now, if he had dyed his beard fluorescent red, worn a Carcass T-shirt and sat there soloing over some blistering metal, that would have been entirely appropriate. :lol:

We make too much out of each other's uniforms and expected behavior sometimes. I thought the hippies broke down all that shit decades ago. We're becoming tight-asses again. It's not a good trend. :idk:

But thanks for the clip, it was all I expected it could be.

I have yet to hear him do anything musically that's impressive. He could clearly host a seminar on how white men can't dance though. He's got that going for him.

Because that is some whack ass elevator techno music that just blows. His lame over the hill white guy dancing should earn him a trip to a very deep hole in a desert. Far far away.

I don't think anybody would jump on the sucks bandwagon for him if he wasn't such a preachy douche about how he knew absolutely everything about absolutely everything, then you hear his decidedly average music and can't help but do a little :confused: :freak: :confused: . I mean, the fucker clearly runs his music like he ran HCAF. "I know best, fuck quality."

So the video threw everyone for a loop then? I dont hate the music as much as others


Bald white guy in khakis and button shirt with glasses (Craig Anderton who helped kill HCAF :mad: ), but if there was no video/visual and we know who made it- then the hate wouldnt be so strong? Does that sum it up?

Nah. The hate was even stronger when he posted a non-video tune right before the utter demise of Harmony Central. We all seemed to have the distinct impression he wanted to be making a NIN song in the nineties, but he just didn't have the balls, brains, or musical sense to get there. Plus the entire song was supposedly a backhand to the face of the "whiners" that didn't like what was happening with HC, but actually just sounded like him whining that people didn't like his brilliant ideas that were gonna save the world.

At least this clip didn't bother with the self-worshipping lyrical content.
