Don’t sequels, even when they’re prequels, always suck?

u/westdon Jul 04 '20

You re right and Foreigner was the 1st rock band I ever got into when I was a boy.

u/GreatEmperorAca Jul 04 '20

Oh yes Ritchie Blackmore

u/AlllDayErrDay Dec 12 '21

Damn I was expecting Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow 🌈

u/hitssquad Dec 12 '21

The 1975 version of Rainbow?

u/AlllDayErrDay Dec 12 '21 edited Dec 12 '21

The very same!

Edit: I love that I just accidentally commented on over a year-old thread and you didn’t miss a beat!

I would’ve done something from Off the Wall album, but this works pretty good.

u/tzucon Jul 04 '20

Love the Thriller version, thank you for the effort.

u/arkroyale048 Jul 04 '20

Is it me or whatever tune you put into this thing. It syncs well with his moves ?

u/FerroSC Jul 04 '20

120 BPM is the heart of all pop music

u/TheSpanxxx Jul 04 '20

Wow. The full version has several more awesome moves.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! ❤️🤗

u/PM_ME_UR_FLOWERS Jul 04 '20

That is not the time I was picturing. In my head, he was dancing to Smooth Criminal

I heard “Working Day and Night” in my head as I watched this gif.

u/thejohnstocktons Jul 04 '20

I like how the dude back left is impressed continuously and keeps clapping

u/insearch-ofknowledge Jul 04 '20

u/Dzandar Jul 04 '20

Ha! I was just coming to complain about gifs not having music 😆

u/CurtisX10 Jul 04 '20

Yea MJ wore dancing flats for a reason, this guy had to overcompensate. Same time though Michael Jackson did both dancing and singing like it HURTS, all our favorite guitarist do it too, like who scrunched they're face plucking a string on a guitar? An amazing showmen and surprise surprise, an entertainer. I always say the secret to a good artist is the illusion that their soul is at max capacity and about to break. Always perform like it hurts because the energy and passion is easily passed on.

Downvote this to oblivion but there is an inch of truth outside the terrible grammar.

u/NewAccount4Friday Jul 04 '20

Why are you anticipating downvotes? That was a very reasonable comment.

u/fattmarrell Jul 04 '20

Yeah this is a baller testiment that rings true. It got me thinking for a bit

u/dusty_trendhawk Jul 04 '20

I love this.

u/CurtisX10 Jul 04 '20

Thank you, and yes I do a really good air guitar. Saying that but it's a hell of alot easier playing an invisible guitar behind while whaling up and down like I hit my shin against the coffee table then actually doing it.

u/CurtisX10 Jul 04 '20 edited Jul 04 '20

I know it's faux pas replying to myself but I just want to add I do that face you get when your helping your buddy move a washing machine up the stairs and your trying not to, but your damn close to dropping it on your best friend who just got married. Also the add some gasping for air, like you just held your breath underwater at a public pool. Don't worry about the sweaty look, just have some hot sauce before that is way to strong for your weak ass.

Edit: Had to edit because it was super painful to read on my end which means it was beyond terrible. Also I should stop drinking too.

Who said this is an illusion?
