      @hazyVADOR 2 года назад +3

      You three have to remember that he wasn't writing this for an album. This was a fun, creative, and informative thing he threw together in a very small amount of time. If he was actually writing a song, that was meant to be sold, played in a band and preformed for others as something 'permanent', then he would have hit this as a try-hard. Again, it's not meant for anything else but this video. I think it was pretty bad ass. He also literally didn't get to decide how this was going to sound. The RNG gods of the dice did.
