RE: The Walking Dead Flamenco style (in reply to hardboiled)
Way better than the Estas Tonne plague invading the network.
His fans (if you can call them that) must be mainly casual music listeners. Nothing wrong with that but this particular species seems to be of the "snob" kind, they KNOW what good music is and they WILL tell everybody.
I wanna throw my computer out of the window everytime I see one of his videos with thousands of comments with words like "homeless man, gitano, flamenco, best guitar player ever"... bunch of sheep, the guy can barely go beyond Am Dm E and people just settle for this rubbish? If they really had a minimal interest in guitar, wouldn't they be looking for more guitar videos on the internet and finding someone with actual skills and talent?
Are we humans so bored and lazy to do a little search/research on youtube?
Well, I don't know whats your opinion on Estas Tonne around here, maybe you love that garbage and that's ok, I love my garbage too.
End of rant (I am pretty sure this was my first one, had to vent it, sorry).

Here's a remixed version for the zombie fans complete with "flamenco" guitar leads:
Simon, please move this to off-topic or delete the entire thread. I actually like me some Ottmar Liebert, Alex Fox, and even Estas Tonne every now & then, but the above I just CANNOT tolerate.
No better than any of the other faux earnest but shallow and manipulative soap /dramas plaguing the networks.
Fans (if you can call them that) must be mainly casual drama viewers. Nothing wrong with that but this particular species seems to be of the "snob" kind, they KNOW what good TV is and they WILL tell everybody.
I wanna throw my TV out of the window everytime I see one of these shows advertised with thousands reviews like "the next breaking bad, gitano, youll be hooked, goes well with pizza"... bunch of sheep. The show can barely go beyond five minutes of tension building before a someone steps out of character to justify a flimsy cliffhanger before the next advert. And people just settle for this rubbish? If they really had a minimal interest in fiction, wouldn't they be looking for more shows written by writers with actual integrity ?
Are we humans so bored and lazy and determined to be hip that if it looks like modern adult drama we won't notice it is cobbled together like early 'Flash Gordon' episodes.
Well, I don't know whats your opinion on The Walking Dead around here, maybe you love that garbage and that's ok, I love my garbage too. Give me the day of the Triffids or Star Trek, sure it is garbage but noone hired a script editor/advertising liason whose job it was to lay easter eggs of excrement in the garbage.
End of rant (I am pretty the first one was fine but I had to subvert it to suit my take, sorry Rui).
PS I didn't find the track offensive, would anyone else here really have found it offensive if the word flamenco hadn't been used ?

I was pretty happy to see this in my favorite animation. I'm pretty sure the whole ark is themed around Spain which they call Dressrosa the Country of Love and Passion.
