Get right the hell outta town with this one. The kid in the above video plays Ozzy Osbourne’s Mr. Crowly on Expert mode in Guitar Hero, using his right elbow to work the strum bar while his right hand solves not one, but two Rubik’s Cubes. And if that wasn’t difficult enough, he plays with his back facing the game, using a mirror for some reason.
Chalk this one up to a skill that adds little, if anything, to our society as a whole, yet is one of the more awesome things you’ll ever see (and will never be able to do) yourself.
Un… beee… lievable.

Probably doing it in the mirror so the video can show him right in front of the TV and avoid people claiming that he’s faking it somehow.
Okay – I guess this is some sort of talent…
Too bad there isn’t employment opportunities for playing Guitar Hero without watching while doing Rubik’s cube puzzles.

Things are only worthwhile if you can make money doing them?
It’s impressive. His ability to multitask is apparent and should transfer over into other things.
No – impressive is being able to play a real guitar at his age and do it very well.
Impressive is using your obvious talents for something other than games and toys.
If you can play jacks, you can mutlitask.

you are jealous.. end of story.
the only multitask think you can do is masturbate while giving yourself a prostrate check.
STFU. that’s a lame jealous troll comment. And what the hell is wrong with “games and toys”? Games are fun. Go take a Xanax and get a reach around. You’ll feel better.
This kid is the awesome.
this is pretty cool. I could barely play guitar hero looking at the screen let alone doing something else in the mean time. His multi-tasking abilities are off the charts for sure. I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to apple it to something in real life. http://ziggytek.com/
He’s using the mirror so that he can see the Rubik’s Cube and the GH screen at the same time. Otherwise, he’d be looking down at the Cube the whole time. I think.
Shows you how hard guitar hero is, how about playing the real guitar part for Mr. Crowley by itself?
Is that sarcasm? Guitar Hero is actually very difficult. So is the real instrument, I understand that too but GH is also very challenging when playing those extreme levels.
Great, now he can apply for all those ‘go jerk off in the corner’ jobs.
That’s one smart kid.
He is not multi-tasking. He is just controlling his attention and switching between the tasks quickly. With some practice most smart people can do it.
wow, someone had a tall glass of haterade.
Everyone who just dissed this kid, can YOU play Guitar Hero and complete 2 Rubik’s Cubes at the same time? No? Thats what I thought.
Go back to having sex with you iPhone.
Wow… What’s the purpose? Maybe if this kid could play the actual solo from Mr. Crowley on a real guitar while solving 2 Rubik’s cubes then I would give him credit.
Guitar Hero & Rock Band are for losers who can’t play a real instrument.
lol….I play guitar and honestly the 2 are completely different and shouldn’t even ever be compared.
This is a video game guys, the same as someone using a keyboard or controller. It just mimics playing music and is shaped like a guitar.
Anyway, props to this dude….he did great !! Hopefully he can find something more meaningful in later in life since he is just a kid still and is doing what kids do !!
Ease up people…damn !!
haha..i can’t believe i watch this video until the end…although not so great with the GH play, he definitely can play with one hand…beat that!
i can’t match with that boy even with 2 hands!
Damn, that was pretty cool. Props to that kid.
I think someone’s got a little too much time on their hands. We will have a generation full of people with useless talents and not much else.
Roger Waters said it with “Amused to death” – if this was 30 years ago this kid would have been building rockets in his backyard and we might have had warp drives by now. As things are we will probably all stand playing guitar hero as the sun goes supernova…
