Singing dead people in WET’s “Shot at love” trailer

First off; don’t watch this is you’re not a fan of glory action video games. Second off; don’t watch this if you don’t like musicals!

A shout out to Keane Ng from the Escapist Magazine for alerting us to this vid.  Simply put; one guy plays all four of the Rock Band instruments at once.
