I'm not debating the effort involved in creating the actual GnR song "The General" vs. Evader's version, I'm merely trying to dispel the notion that what Evader did is, in general, easier than writing a song if you're a professional musician. For me to try and sing in key, etc. is very difficult if not impossible - BUT - for a professional singer with that inherent talent, it's easy. Conversely, even for a professional editor, what Evader did is very difficult to pull off successfully.
Anyway, I think we're saying the same thing. Both teams played hard.
