Not crazy about the guitar lead either. Maybe a growl sax would be better ? I do think the drum sounds are killer. Great machine.

Well you can't change the exact name of the song?
But as usual the negativeness takes it South once again...
I would say it's more jealousy of the talent that this guy has
and playing a piece like this shredding that guitar
in ways most here cannot, top that with because .. (except Don M)...

Don’t take everything so serious, it’s just a keyboard.

Well, at the risk of raising the ire of the 'negativity' police, I thought it sounded terrible, especially the lead voice. As far as the 'talent' performing the tune, if that's an example of 'shredding', then I have had a total misunderstanding of the use of the word all these years. Marco Parisi 'shredds', this person, definitely not. Not a knock on the machine, which I'm sure can do anything a talented person wants it to do, but I thought the arrangement also left a lot to be desired. JMO. Not trying to anger anybody. If I like something (always subjective, remember that), I am quick to say so, no matter who posts it. I think everyone has a right to a legitimate opinion without being labelled as 'negative'. We don't always have to agree on EVERYTHING.

TBH - I didn't know the song, by name, so I thought it was a boastful Yamaha ad. Didn't care for it much, but didn't hate it either. Then I found out it was a clever marketing trick to use the words "Simply the Best" ... so, now I get it.
They made us watch, so ... mission accomplished, right?

Donny, I hated what he was doing with the Genos. Distortion, repeated notes, and the list goes on. It was terrible. To me, it was not music.

BUT, if I were younger I might have a different opinion. I remember Harry James, and Frank Sinatra, the accordion and polkas, In my best time I could not relate to what I heard. So my opinion is not the same as yours. It’s from a different time.

So, most of our statements are not meant to hurt the other guy, we have just forgotten that we have different opinions because---???

Love you my wacky friend, John C.

John.... I was taught to always keep an open mind take the blinders off and absorb what I liked and could use when listening to every kind music even when it's is not my favorite.

Donny, I start playing guitar in 1946, I used it to make a living – I owned guitars valued well over $50,000.00, and more than one.

The way we search for the best keyboard I searched for the best guitar. I used a D’Aquesto guitar on the job. Sold it, got enough money to buy a new SUV.

Now you tell me I must keep an open mind to what I am hearing????
You must be kidding.

John... 1946 I was -6yrs old lol
But now in my music there's a bit of everything I
have heard and absorbed throughout.
It's all out there for the taking.

Take care
