For the record - as much as Claw pushes the technical aspect, he realizes it is only a part of the total picture that secures a competition win. That bigger picture was proven tonight, in more ways than one.
First, the one minute we're given/allowed for the annual regional air guitar competitions, is completely and utterly insubstantial and a pure lack of any possible time it takes to show any real skills in the field of air guitar.
Second, Cold Steel Renegade, who held the stage for more than 5 minutes; actually, it was more like 10 minutes, pulled off a performance that was not only top-shelf, but had the audience in awe.
His performance showed exactly why he is a champion. US Air Guitar should seriously consider expanding the performance time to 2-5 minutes, at least on a national level. CSR's musical montage spanned a variety of musical genres, and expertly cut'n'spliced between each. Claw knows. Claw worked in radio doing the same production-type scenarios.
Even better, his on-stage choreography was obviously practiced over and over, but when it came time to throw down, his performance was flawless. Tiger Claw was truly impressed, as was everyone else who attended.
But Tiger Claw wouldn't be Tiger Claw if he didn't say, "the recipe could use a tad more air guitar". Yeah, everyone's a critic. Renegade, excellent performance. 5 stars. Why you're not a National Champion is beyond Claw.
We want video. The ranks deserve it.
