bad 4 good

i don't know quite how to put this. when i was a kid, i loved this teeny tiny boy from the d'addario guitar ads. he was too cute. later on in life, he became young stevie vai in the video for "the audience is listening." he is thomas mcrocklin, who soon formed the band bad 4 good, whom i've spoken of various times in this here blog. well. thanks to the miracle which is youtube (i adore you youtube!)i found old videos and this electronic press kit from 1992. these kids were babies. thomas was 12, zack was 14 (the bassist), brooks was 15 (the drummer, now of bad religion fame) and danny was 16. they were fucking amazing. i showed my brother this video, and he got so depressed that he is already older than 12 and cannot and will never be able to play guitar like thomas mcrocklin. i fucking love these guys.

christina, this is for you:
(p.s. tell me if you don't think brooks had some weird, twitching problems)
