As we say in french : "Quand l'argent parle, la vérité se tait". Money and truth don't go along very well, right? But this right here is kind of funny to be honest :D

Wow what a d****! He should be sued! Miming for a Video or even for a TV appearance is ok, but on stage where peple pay money to see real musicians? And that stupid grin he does when the solo is finished as if he is amazed by his own playing? Terrible :@

I don't really unstand what's going on, I can see him moving his fingers on the guitar... so how do you fake the visuals. PS. I don't really care but I wish I could trick people that I'm the singer on my AI music (because it's better than mine actually) :D

Shamika, if you click on the link below the video and watch it to the end, there is a part where they show it all, they slow it down and then you can see that he is not really hitting the notes correctly. And they explain how he does it.

From what I gather, he's actually quite a skilled player .. but somehow got enticed down the road of the ridiculous. With the midi and the miming. What a putz! Would make more sense if it was a guitar player doing that but a bass player .. come on!! :D:D just kidding. :O

Well, I am going to be called a dumm bass, but same as drum solos, a bit here and there is ok but I am not sure I want to listen to two minutes of someone fingering a bass fret board. And thinking about it, same with any instrument, including guitars. I fight with myself every time to keep it short. It gets boring.
