Anybody remember Rusty Cooley?

His Wikipedia page looks like it was written from a first person perspective, not saying anything, but a little weird to read.

Oh, he's a bit of a weird dude - in a good way.
You simply can't dedicate as many of your hours as it must take to get this ridiculously proficient at anything,
and still end up with a completely level head on your shoulders.

Did you know that Shawn Lane not only couldn't balance a checkbook but also never drove a car his entire life?

If you where a writer would you practice typing vowels as fast as possible? It's OCD.

My bad. Shouldn't have said 'anything'.
Rusty's got the mentality of a sprinter mixed with a figure skater.
How fast can I go and how difficult can I make the patterns.

He also commented once, "someone's gotta be nuts enough to do it, might as well be me."

:LOL:

I wonder whether this was ever debunked, or if it's real. Would be easy enough to fake with a time-stretching algorithm and some video editing software to inset that clock. Anyway, ludicrous.

 
I loved the shit out of Outworld. They only ever put out one album and an EP but I listened to them constantly way back when. The riffs and vocals were nuts. Not to mention really catchy songs overall. I don't give a shit about his soloing at all though.

Looks totally legit. Tremolo picking on nylon strings is easier than with electrics imo.

Strunz and Farah both freaking wail - obviously not trying to break any records here, just a cool tune.

 
Outworld was basically Nevermore with a higher-range singer. He was actually asked to join Nevermore at one point but it didn't work out due to family considerations. Would be cool to see Rusty on the forum here. I hung out at his forum for a while when I first discovered Outworld.
