THIS my friends is totally BAD ASS playing

[horns666]

Didn't like how PRS kinda stomped on stage and said "dance little piggy!" but other than that, storming stuff!

He said that..that was stupid. That's who that tall dude was?

I'd probably would've gave him a shot back..like "Anything you say Strech Armstrong"...but he just played his ass off instead.

It's a shame..but "fat" people are still free game in this overly PC world..I don't get it?

You can't say shit about anyone..but big people still get alot of shit. Asian people and American Indians come in second...this is true.

Man I love Johnny Hiland. Tasty playing nonstop.

Big people get made fun of because being fat is seen as something people can change with exercise and a better diet.

I eat healthy and I walk EVERY day, yet I am overweight.

Man Johnny stole my riff at 4:32...to 4:41 ! Ive been doing that for
10 years! (really just happy, that it's also liked by the MAN!)
Hope he does live more than another 5 years tho... i kept thinking
Shawn Lane while watching this vid because of his physical condition.
Long live Hiland! Proves that you dont always need Paul Gilbert
skinny 8" fingers to shred doesn't it!

[Rich#6]

Very good. He looks in good shape for an American

I heard he almost didn't make it to his last gig...there were steps up to the stage.

That's like saying all brits have brown rotting teeth.

[Evilution]

Exactly, that's the joy of sterotyping people.
The french are rude and smell,
The germans like scat porn and have no sense of humour,
The Japs like eating animal penis and have small ones themselves,
The Americans are fat and thick,
The Irish are drunks, thick and can't spell anything,
The English live in castles, drink tea, eat fish and chips, all talk like the queen, don't talk about sex and have brown teeth.

We all know that in the majority of cases that this isn't true but that is what stereotyping is all about.

I am a big guy and I really take offense to that.
EDIT: EVEN IF I WASN'T A BIG GUY, I WOULD STILL BE OFFEDED BY YOUR COMMENT.

Well, there is always someone on the internet ready to get offended at something that wasn't aimed at them. Now is obviously your time.

If you weren't a big guy you would just shrug it off and go find something else to be offended at. Some people just go looking for it.

How do we know Hilands weight issues isnt from a medical condition Such as hyperthyroidsim. Or some other glandular disease that makes you put on weight regardless of workout regemin or diet. Maybe some people should before making a comment about ones weight or other attributes they may not be able to control.
just a thought

No offense Al, I know some people are just bigger, but when I say exercise I mean jogging, aerobics, or weight lifting i.e. things that are strenuous.

I've always figured that Johnny's size was from sittin' in the house playing guitar instead of playing outside with other kids. If you're blind I don't imagine you can run around outside much. That's purely speculation on my part though.

[MichaelLitvak]

very nice chops and nice sound.. screw the weight factor people jeez..

[hippietim]

That's like saying all brits have brown rotting teeth.

That's absurd, some have green and/or yellow rotting teeth.

[åron]

Hiland is great player, who cares if he weighs a ton? He's in the right genres for being a portly shredder. His size wouldn't go over so well with the fans of rock, metal and shred olympics.

[DonP]

I love this forum.

Threads are like a box of chocolates....

[Ripley7t]

I don't know about all this stereotype stuff, One of my best friend's is Scottish and has green teeth. Hell, I'm a fat American and proud of it. On the serious side, it is the differences we all have be they ethnic, build, etc. that make us unique individuals. I would not want to live in a world where everyone is the same.

[Snoogans]

One of the best guitarists I've ever known is my good buddy Norm. He's bigger than Hiland, and has the kind of tone that'd make Billy Gibbons proud. I can't remember what colour his teeth are.
For those who are interested, mine are a pale yellowy-white colour.
