@HooLooVu Right on, my friend! The EOGB is mightily talented; and they need not to be 'dissed', Nor should they be compared to others. They are who they are. And, WHAT they are is FANTASTIC!

@kenrussellspulse Then don't listen to/watch it. "Doctor, it hurts when I move my arm like this!" "Then don't move your arm like that." It really is that simple. Go piss in someone else's Cheerios. Cheerio!

@HooLooVu Tell me something I don't know- as I posted before I concede they are brilliant musicians, I've seen them a few times live but the only good stuff is when someone does a solo turn. It's their comedic approach that makes me embarrassed for them. It makes a joke of the instrument which I love and they are selling it short. Most attempts at comedy in music fail badly and they prove that by making 3rd rate parodies and doing the songs no justice.

@kenrussellspulse You're just a moron with no appreciation for talent. If you think you can do better, get a Uke and show us your magic.

Really loathe this stuff. Degrades the uke to a novelty especially when the fat controller sings. They think they are funny but are not at all, like a collection of embarrassing relatives. I love the uke and of course they can play excellently but the choice of songs etc are always going for the comedy reaction- the coal jokes etc make me cringe. When theres the odd solo it's great but as soon as they do the group thing they have to ruin the song and blemish their considerable musical talents.
