i have to agree with everyone here. this new invigorated patriotism that has started up is no excuse. every anthem should be respected no matter what. the players on the other team play hard for their country and feel the same way we do about ours. i guess they're just a little bit more classier and better sports than we are.

on behalf of all americans i want to apologize for the behavior, it's shameful. i would not stand for it happening to my country or any others.



the majority of the people in america are sheep. As in Orwell's "Animal Farm" or Pink Floyd's Animals", they will follow the leader without question and won't examine the situation with a clear objective mind. that's why there is so much bling patriotism and megalomania, it is no excuse and it's a shame it exists. THey get caught up in the flow and they act because of it.



Sorry, i'm ranting.



To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
