Although its not something the usual buyers for these instruments would play. (Naff sound recording but probably done on mobile)

That was an awful video. It sure didn't make the Wersi look or sound desirable.

So THIS is what the OPPOSITE of Rico looks like 'performing'... that big intro, and then...???
Was the leather jacket supposed to make her a 'rock star' ???

C'mon guys - be nice! It was a lousy recording - nothing more, nothing less.

While it was an awful video with bad sound ... I still totally agree with Diki. It was the cheesy organ replacing classic rock lead vocals that killed it. Better quality audio wouldn't have helped, actually might have made it worse.

I play in a classic rock cover band and that sort of treatment would not be well received in the bars we play in. Rock music absolutely must retain its hard edge. Not that organ doesn't play a primary role ... but not the way this demo used it.

Whoever thought up that demo concept should have thought again.

No, it was a lousy performance. Sorry, but a leather jacket isn't going to make her rock one iota. Spinal Tap got more rock in this little finger than.... this other little finger!

This makes the Ruttles sound like Mettalica!

You've heard of 'Soft Rock'? Well, this was 'Flaccid Rock'! And if there's anything rock should never be, it's flaccid!

Its a Lowrey which are designed and made in the USA, NOT a Wersi

I was more intrigued that Lowrey are now fitting Rock Styles in their organs, (Rather than the performance) which would seem to indicate they are trying to move into a younger (Relatively) market.

Rock, as in 'Rock around the Clock'? LOL Even that might be a stretch, for this behemoth. Maybe 'Rock of Ages'..?

I think that's as close as rock on one of these is ever going to get!
