Ok so while I`m waiting for some of these vids to render (had to do some editing or they`d be too long)
I thought i`d wet your appetites with just a few photo`s that I`ve cropped and resized so far (I`m going as fast as I can )
Craig (Bondy) will add his here once he gets the chance to do the same
We arrived at the show approx 9.30am, we wandered through the place (nothing was open then) and went outside, who should we see straight away ... Muris an ideal time for a quick pic oppotunity
I`m not short they are freakishly tall (ok so I`m short!!! )
This is the drummer that played with the finalists, in true Muris style (he`s such a cool guy!) he shows no hard feelings and wants his photo taken with him (sorry I dont know his name)
joe satriani dropping by at the licklibrary stand to sign the other prize for the winner. A smart red JS100
ok first of the vids, this is Muris playing the licklibrary competition (winnning ) entry.

Also I just saw Muris log on - are you still in London?
This is just too cool! Like Ivan said, It's great to see some of the guys get together that you talk too so often. Priceless!
Muris certainly looks like he's having fun! I know you guys were! I would have loved to had been there!
Well after seeing this, somehow I think we are one step closer to GMC live gathering on some music show!
Way to go Muris! Bravo Murise!
Looks like a lot of fun
This is sick man!
Sure it was fun..
I heard the guitar idol show didn't turn out so well though?
I`m just rendering Muris`s performance in the final, `bout an hour left to go, so sorry its taking so long
the final file will be 65mb anyone have any ideas on how to compress it a little more before posting?
cool & cool nice to see a pictures of our fellow Muris in london .

The Best thing of seen on GMC in awhile
Nothing compares to how cool this is.
Awesome guys, hope you had fun, and I'm sure Muris did well!
Chris, Craig and Muris. I wish I could have been there with you. Would have been so much fun I'm sure (and that's what counts in this life). Next time, I'm coming - unless there's another obstacle of course. But to meet up with friends and watch a good guitar show. Whoah!!!
Incredibly cool! Thanks for sharing!

Really great performance Muris! Shame about the drums though, I suppose you can't really do anything about those kind of things though.
Haha, in the video you can just about hear someone say "Ahh no, the drummer f**ked it up!"
Great pictures!
THat Spinal Tap guitar is crazy
thanks for the vid smells
Great work on the post Smells. And damn nice playing Muris. Too bad the drummer screwed up =/
But i must say that im impressed that muris managed to play the right tempo and nail the bosnian part even though the drummer lost him self.
Hey thanks guys for providing pics and videos, Its making me feel like I been there !! Thanks
Muris is such a pro! Thanks very much Smells and Bondy! I'll bet you guys had a blast meeting Muris! I really hate that the drummer messed up, but what can you do? Smells, your comment was in the moment, and perfectly concise. I'm really enjoying the photos! I feel really proud to be part of GMC right now. Well done, Muris!
Cool pics and vids, thanks for sharing
Muris, you amaze me still with your playing.. Wow!!!
I can't express how good I think you are
God I wish I was there, but hopefully I get to meet you guys another time..
Great job guys, thanks for documenting this.. and Muris, great job. It would be so awsome to have a GMC gathering one day... too cool
Smells - you are fabulous for all this work - GMC is alive in my home right now and to see all the fun is fantastic.
Muris you are Hot Hot Hot - talk about sexy - woooo, you shall have legions of girl fans for sure (I'm a girl in case anyone is wondering...) and Muris is that a little guitar tattoo you have on your neck? Really cool.
Can't wait to see more pics/vids of Smells, Bondy and Muris - it's so true, a picture speaks a thousand words.
Excellent! Thanks Smells and Bondy for the pics and vids
Great job, Muris! but a shame about that drummer
wow, Muris is a hot piece of meat!
Joking
I hope you guys had fun, it looks like a blast! Seeing Satch, Gilbert, and Muris.
Thanks for the vid Smells great job my friend!!
Tough break about the drummer, all and all I think it sounded great Muris!! Kick ass
Awesome man, Great job smells.
Can't wait to see the video, downloading it now
We're so proud of you Muris. Such a great achievement to make the finals and play so well, even with the problem you encountered. And like any true champion you were so forgiving to the one who made the mistake. We're so blessed at GMC to have instructors of such great quality, who are also great people as well. This has been a milestone in what will be a brilliant career. Good luck for the future Muris.
Thanks to Chris and Bondy for the pics and videos, much appreciated guys, you made the rest of us feel a part of this exciting event (especially when you're half a world away in the Antipodes).
GMC rules!!!!
I would just like to add as well Muris had zero sleep the night before and still nailed it with a poor drummer true professional all round top bloke
Awesome photos Smells and Bondy, thanks
Muris did a great job in the finals .... Damn that drummer, damn him
Great pictures
the clips are awesome
Edit: Wow muris you look tired=)
This is awesome! Thnx a lot for sharing!
Thank you again Smells & Bondy for sharing!
Thanks Chris and Bondy for sharing these - looks like you all had a wonderful day as well .
Don't suppose you had chance to take in any of the other expos on at the same time guys (Sound Recording Technology/Sound on Sound, etc) or did you stick with the LGS?
Cheers,
Tony
We went round the lot tony not much to buy unless you had a spare few thousand
Awesom, I really enjoyed watching the pics and the vids
Goooo Muris!!
Smells, how tall are you? Just wondering ^^ Anyway, awesome!!! Muris rockS!! :D!! GMC people meeting live, must be a great feeling... I lvie awfully close too Audiopaal and Trond o.0 Hope i see them randomly in the city sometime
Haha Well explained Bondy, well explained Smells is a cool guy tho
Tottaly cool he may have been kneeling down when we took the photo of maybe in a ditch who knows
Wow! The pics and vids look great! Awesome playing Muris!!
Great work with the media fellas
I was more excited to see the muris video than the PG one !! It just goes to show how professional he is working through that dodgy drummer and still sounding awsome
Awesome, just awesome ^^
yeah great performance, thx for recording and documenting it.
But i still dont know who is going to play with satriani, anybody does?
Thanks for the photo's smells . When does the winer get announced?
Thanks for the pic and videos,every thing looks great.
wow, was Muris using a Peavey 6505?
Thanks alot Muris, Smells and Bondy, looked like you had alot of fun !
And Muris, you handled it like a real profesional when the drummer made the mistake, you sorted it out and you did not look like to have any problem with him after, a worthy champion!
I'm proud to be GMC'er
AAhhh, imo the drummer should be much more of a professional.
On the other hand you did absolutely great Muris, top notch playing!
who won the competition and what did muris win?
Gustavo Guerra won, not sure about prizes and stuff though.
Among the prizes were a Green Custom PRS one of only twelve made a signed Joe Satriani guitar a peavey tube amp and some other small things which i cant remember
why did Muris won a guitar?
i dont realy know a lot about this competetion...
Muris won the Ibanez Jem through a Steve Vai Lick Library competition
cool:)
what "place" did he get?
The Jem was first prize, AFAIR.
Awesome, thanks a lot for sharing Smells, it was great to see Muris live for those of us who couldn't be there!, he did so good, despite the drummer, you rock Muris!
Great pictures too
Get a look at Muris' reaction when the drummer plays it all wrong
Takes a true musician to keep the rythm and melody through such a huge rythm mistake by the drummer, for that alone you should have won Muris
ow man this is soooo awesome wish i was there
muris awesome playing
and Smells and Bondy awesome recording
Great pics and vids. Thanks for putting this together.
Man that drummer is a real TOOL!!!!
I guess when your one of the worlds best guitar players it's hard to find other musicians that are as good as you and can keep up. Bass player seemed to handle it well though. Top-notch performance Mirus! I'm sure this is going to open the doors to future opportunities that will only better your carrier.
Wow Muris is tall now you mention it !!!
Damn I thought the drum mistake was just going to be like one tiny thing but that idiot played a whole section completely off, what a disgrace!
Believe it or not those guys were from the London guitar institute supposed to be professionals
Give the guy some credit!!
You know, it is not easy to play such a complex piece without any rehearsal
They had rehearsals!!!!
Besides there supposed to be session musicians thats what they do for a living
It is a shame with the dummer , but you know being a real life guitar hero is about more than just one performance(which IMO was fantastic!!).
Muris is not only a really REALLY awsome guitarist but hes also a great roll model and a really nice guy. That is why he is the real Guitar Idol
Hey Bondy and Smells, what did you think about the winner Gustavo Guerra? there where many more exiting players than him in the competition imo, but maybe didnt peform so well live? GG must have made a killer peformance to win?
He messed up the first bar in rehearsals too but hey thats life Muris was cool about and he ruled on the lick library stand anyway so alls well
Cool, id love to see the whole things, including the other entries as well did you get that on cam?
Awesome video!
Looks like Muris handled the situation pretty well! Kudos!
I bet the drummer felt really bad about goofing up.
Poo happens.
What matters is how you handle it when it hits the fan..
The important thing is that Muris went up there and gave them show.
Edited for language
DANG! i should've bin there!
Muris is a pretty big man!
I agree with the others, although the drummer blew it (no excuse!!!) you Muris are guitar hero material. Keep rocking man, this was only the first time you took place in such an event, I'm sure you'll have plenty more oportunities. Good stuff happens to good people!
a small update to the first post, another video of Muris added, unfortunatly not the full piece as I got there too late
Guitar Idol 09' start's in August. I wonder if Muris is planning anything for next year?
Congrats for superb playing Muris!
The new vids are awsome, Muris nailed it on Jem as well
Thanks Smells- i really appreciate the work you went to to get all this done for us
And congrats to Muris for such a great performance despite the little misunderstanding with the drums- It really gets me motivated for my practise seeing you up on stage kicking butt like that so i guess i'll be watching these over and over
You may not have the title "Guitar Idol" but the amount of work you've done helping us guys gives you a status far beyond "idol"
Congrats and thanks as usual
Great videos thanks for taping them Smells!
Man, seeing these photos and videos it's hard to state how much I would like to be there.
Congratulations, Muris. It is amazing how good you can do on face of adverse situations. I barely can play one bar, when the drummer messes up
Next year, or in another big guitar event, we should really make an effort to have a massive GMC meeting!!!
Congrats again Muris! I know you don't usually play Ibanez...so I'll just go ahead and take that one off your hands for you!
Wow this was Awesome, I wish I could have been there.
Man, I would probably have been pretty pissed at the drummer, but kudos to Muris for showing some real class, and taking a pic with him!
Btw I watched that vid of Muris playing the JEM, it just looked like Butter in his hands! Can't wait for a lesson from Muris on the JEM!
Hey,this went huge only after one day,
thanks you soo much for your kind words and understanding
for not so great overall performance.
To be honest with you,
deep in side of me I didn't want to win this competition.
There were many great players and I actually
think that judges made good decision with Gustavo Guerra,
he had most of the votes and that's what claims who's the idol,
mass public and not the judges.
Maybe I'm wrong.
And there are few other reasons as well.
First of all,I already won Jem from LickLibrary and
they were co-organisers here as well.
So it might have look like fixed or som,dunno.
Second,now I have 2 guitars to bring back home
and I don't have any idea what to do at the airport,
imagine another one and an amp.
So basicly all I wanted is to have some
fun at the stage is London,drummer had a gap
eventualy it all went fine,specialy on LickLibrary stand later on.
I have bunch of clips and shots which means a lot to me.
Plus Chris and I will meet in next few days again.
awesome id love a lesson with that jem. could you do a lesson on your lick library entry?
haha too bad i found this thread so late! Congratulations Muris on the great performance and on the winning the lick library contest, awsome looking JEM Hope i get a chance to vote for you in the 2009 contest!
Sve cestitke Muris,bio si super.Drugim recima otvorio si sebi jedna velika vrata,i to je najvaznije.
Muris, just on a practical level: try getting some certificate or proof that your Jem was given to you for free, otherwise you may have problems with the customs when you come back home with 2 instruments. It happened to me some time ago.
You did awesome, Muris ^^
It's always good to spread your talent. So now you problaby got some more fans in London who will spread the word, and in some months you'll be famous all around the world
well, thats it for the vids now guys, thanks to Kris for uploading the larger files for me
Hope you enjoyed them as much as Craig and I enjoyed actually being there, I have some more Paul Gilbert on camera, and I`ll render that in time and post them up for the PG fanclub
Catching up with Muris again this week before he jets back home on thursday so maybe a few more pics then for you later in the week
Great Muris!
Muris???
did you remember to advertise for GMC???
- i'm not sure about the sentence is right...
Muris, I understand what you're saying about mass appeal versus the ability to please the judges. I think it's a combination of the two. But the mass appeal thing can only go so far. I mean, if you set yourself on fire and did eight finger tapping, you would've gone over big. From the judges' perspective, it should only be about your ability to burn it up with a good melodic sense. And you can do that, my friend. Gustavo Guerra is an incredible player, no doubt. But, so are you. So, yeah, it doesn't really matter that you didn't get first place. You were there, and you picked up your JEM from kicking ass in another contest. Believe me man, people took notice.
@Ralleliciouz
Actually, the last sentence is wrong...the rest is fine
"I'm not sure about the sentence being right
@topic
Wel all have admired your quality Muris, even though Gustavo won, we just know Guitar Idols 09 is the next big thing for you
Wow... I really envy you guys sooo much.
But I'm really happy you all had a good time! Great pics!
And Muris... you're just amazing!
Congrats, I wish you all the best for your career.
Eddie
Smells: We look about the same size How tall are you?

Wow muris, I just saw the vids and pics that's so wonderfull man, I'm really happy for you
You nailed them , I also saw the drummer mistake of the year lol .... you should be really surprised when hearing the drums going wrond ... what did you think on this exact moment ?? I would be totally angry and paniced at the same time .... anyway It was GREAT man

Muris I was thinking of you on Saturday and am sad you did not win. But you looked like you were having a blast and you played amazing, not that there was any doubt. Your the best in my books
rok
Wow, just saw Fernando Miyata's performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7yh5-y5aDA
I liked his (and Muris's offcourse) performance a bit better than the winner.
This must be when the drummer goofs up:
