533 attempts in the making, this is a video of Guitar Hero 2 world record holder CarnyJared full combo-ing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Free Bird’ at 300% speed. Talk about fingers of fury! Jared says he has all the Guitar Hero 2 world records now, which I can neither confirm nor disconfirm,

This is a video of an elevator full of people including Canadian folk artist Jessica Pierson, who took the opportunity to treat the captive audience to a sing-along. Some of the passengers look less than thrilled about the performance, although the two men in the back of the elevator do
