      Greg was re-hearsed, first guy was playing essentially every note, and in every combination, so you're factually wrong that he was doing same run over and over, in fact it was second guy playing same run over and over. Try understanding music, or at least working out what the two are playing, before you make accusations like that, cause you are factually wrong.
