so without further ado...

Previously on Some Heads Are Gonna Roll..

Russ' Point of View

R: "What song you trying to play?"

Jack: "Eruption..."

I laugh.

R: "You're trying to play Eruption?.."

I pick him and his guitar up and set em on my lap.

R: "That's a tough song to play, bud."

Jack: "But you and Mommy can play it."

I position his hands to the frets.

R: "Yeah, but we had to learn it and practice like crazy. Even we still mess it up sometimes. "

Jack: "Really?"

I nods.

I think of how I messed up but now... I smile.

I turn to my son, and kiss his head.

R: "But that's life, bud. You mess up sometimes. All you can do is try again, and again, till you get it right."

Jack looks at me and smiles.

R: "Okay... now show me what you got kid."

My boy starts shredding.

Hitting the notes, the whammy bar...

What the FUCK?!

My jaw hits the ground.

He only misses a few notes, other than that, he shredded it perfectly.

My 5 year old son just killed it on Van Halen's Eruption.

We hear a round of applause behind us and the guys, the crew and the interviewers have their phones out.

Jack hides his face in my shoulder.

I take his guitar off and pick him up.

MS: "Duuuude! Way to go little man!"

LF: "That's my nephew!"

SZ: "We should have him come on stage for that!"

The interview guys looked at me and asked, "You think he can do that again? In the interview?"

I turn to Jack, "Hey buddy? Wanna try again?"

He nods.

Jack: "Daddy? Am I a Rockstar like you and Mommy?"

I laugh.

We all say "YES."

R: "You're 5 years old and can shred better than most people. I think you are, buddy."

still Russ' Point of View

After the interview, and Jackson shredding on camera, we sit backstage. 

We had pictures taken and the photographers insisted on getting a few with Jack.

My favorite being the one of him on my shoulders, shouting and throwing his horns, like I did.

I am so getting that one framed.

*knock knock*

The door opens to reveal Lyss.

L; "There's my boys..."

I get up and give her a kiss.

R; " Hey there gorgeous. How are you and little one doing?"
