    They can rip your style, but no one can rip your skills. Awesome as always man!
    And for what its worth, I enjoy your non-OP-1 videos just as much, sometimes more, so don't worry about people 'missing' the old styles, just keep doing you!

    45:50 - Great fuzzy/distorted sound, so much contrast to the softness of the rest of the tune.
