                    This video's energy and performance was made mindblowing due to the fact that I JUST watched those Chelsea Constable videos right before this insane one. (Nothing against Chelsea!)

                      Yes they are, Indonesia used to be part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and they are based in The Hague north Holland.

                        Haha! How about the sweep-licks at 1:22 - 1:30?
                        No arpeggio, but well executed none the less.

                        Very cool! These guys owned.

                          Awesome! Thanks for posting this. Another example of why Youtube fucking rules.

                          I'm surprised Ron didn't use his classic line: "If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!"

                              I can't believe how much ground these guys covered that went unnoticed in the states until many years later..

                              just about everything was there..Fast chugging downstrokes, palm muting, speed picking, sweeping, tapping , down tuning , and showmanship that rivaled Chuck Berry at the time..That Jimi did much later.

                              I'm truly amazed..I never knew this existed.
