Check out what he had to say here. Today, Newton has taken time out to reveal a few of his personal favourite videos from YouTube.
"This is....special. They're also really good but they might be androids...hard one to call...you can imagine them having big, old school, wind up keys in their backs, do they show any shots from the back. If not, busted."
"I want this drummer on the next tour, you could put Freddie Mercury on in front of this guy and you would still be watching him. He's a genius."
"I don't know who did this but I think I'm in love. This must've taken a really long time, and how did they isolate the vocal. Definitely check out all the other 'shreds' videos too, their are loads. The Santana one's hilarious! Just in case there is any confusion, this is NOT REAL. It's been goofed with, I'd feel really bad if anyone thought this was just footage from a gig, it's not."
"Ok, I know I shouldn't find this funny. I know I should feel nothing but sympathy for this unfortunate women and be grown up about this...but it's HILARIOUS and that is not my fault."
"James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince (who makes some strange artist decisions in this particular performance) but is also a genius! They are all geniuses must have been a good night."
