    Yes, this is Re-upload. We actually managed to salvage the live in audio which we'd thought we'd lost (on freakin iCloud no less) and mixed it in together with the camera live audio and the backing track and got a much more authentic experience!
    Also, for those asking, the song is Baptism of Clay by my band Cyborg Octopus. th-cam.com/video/iK5E72M0EvU/w-d-xo.html

Told 'em I had my guitar and processor hooked up and jammed out some Metallica over the teamspeak to show them... "Yeah right, you're not playing that..." one of them said.. "Whaddaya want? How about Heavy metal Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? here ya go" I type in chat and let her rip.. Cleared that up. :P

    If you did this on Hollywood Blvd you'd have gotten more than $17. Hell you'd probably get a headliner spot at the Viper room.
    I would have personally handed you a $10, not only because I love metal, but because that's a really original idea. I work in downtown LA and go to shows at least once a month in Hollywood...I've seen countless street performers. Never once seen them playing metal.

    In this world of Keshas and Drakes, the waves of metal music stunned an entire city, who was not ready for the onslaught. Vibrations of pure power cracked the cement, glass fell from the skyscrapers. Babies sprouted horns and forked tails, womens' clothing transformed into chain mail bikinis. Men grew into giants of muscle as battle-axes appeared in their hands. Dark spires erupted from the city streets. Eternal dark clouds blotted out the sun.

    Really nice initiative. I haven't seen any metal musician on street for my entire life and I would be intrested in hearing one for sure. Glad you've earned some cash. It might not be much but at least you've made the day for some people. Also I think that if you had played something casual metal fans know (something like Raining Blood by Slayer or Holy Wars by Megadeth), you would have earned much more. Many people wish to hear some street performances of those classics.

    I'm currently working on my own Metal skllls. Metal just snuck up on me somehow and showed me some things i failed to see during my younger musician years. I honestly never had a taste for Metal until just a few days ago. Now, I can't get enough!!! Thank you Metal God's for reaching out to me.
