I would be disappointed if they didn't bother. Every once in a while one of us has a good idea.

Plus, it's a good gauge of the fan base. If I were TL I would have my social media team pouring through these things and bringing me interesting sound bites.

To be honest I think they are way too arrogant to even consider a moment’s thought to our ramblings. Purely a marketing opportunity. Direct marketing to a captive audience.

Actually, this kid reminds me a lot of myself at that age.

Maybe, but I think any business should listen intently to their customers, even if it's covertly. Crowd sourcing is a huge part of what many organizations do now, you see it with the Canucks and their pictures of people in China with jersey's on and what not.

I'm not suggesting that WD should take our line combinations to heart, because he *should* have a much better grasp on who clicks with who, but if 99% of the fan base thinks that Sbisa is a terrible defenseman, and would be fine with the team cutting ties in any way possible, and they provide good evidence, it might be something they want to consider.

No big deal. I could sing Rime of the Ancient Mariner when I was about that age.

I'm guessing his father's alcohol addiction and occasional fits of rage probably made the kid a fast learner.

I think I was singing the the theme song to Starblazers at that age. I didn't learn to swear until I was at least 11.

Exactly, though I'm sure they would look past the sarcasm for those who had actually tried them for their review...

The only Maiden album I had growing up was Number of the Beast. Judas Priest, Scorpions, Queen, Rolling Stones, Zeppelin was my thing.

Edit - I assume you're referring to the Maiden song and not the 18th C poem it's based on?

Deductive reasoning my dear Watson.

He's probably a 7 year old? It was a long and complicated song. I'm assuming he doesn't have access to the lyrics. Even if he did, hard to believe his reading level would be able to comprehend the verses and tempo.

He would have had to listen to it many times. And then repeat it many times to get it right. Meaning he was coached. Coached a lot. He got so good at it someone recorded it and posted it to the web. Would his mother or sister do that? Would his brother spend that much time engaged with his younger brother? Uncle? Buddy? My bets are on Dad.

There are lots of ways to spent time with your kids. It's hilarious but that took a lot of time and energy to get the kid to that point where he can rip that song off without skipping a beat.

Wonder what could explain the "dedication".

This is pretty good, is the whole album like this, a sort of theme?

Reminds me a bit of Pink Floyd Animals and Queensrÿche Operation Mind Crime (in different ways)

LOL

I was talking about the team reading our degenerated ramblings, not the abused child and his song...

It surprises me really how many of us old guys know how to use a computer, and are willing to waste hours on end talking hockey with *mostly* complete strangers.

You troll us all day long every day about how bad this team is and then cry about people pushing back.

btw, Kotex Slims are in isle 4, training bras in isle 7. Hanna Montana collectibles are in the sale bin.
