website = [http://freddiew.blogspot.com]Freddie Wong is an American film-maker and professional
electronic sports player. He first gained notoriety through a video he posted onYouTube titled "Guitar Hero 2 Rush YYZ on Expert" [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua3hZXfNZOE] ,YouTube video] in which he boasts that he wears chains around his neck because his "solos are just so blisteringly fast that if I didn't keep them tied down somehow, they might impregnate women." This is often misquoted as "soul is so blistering fast..." in the press.Freddie competed in the
World Series of Video Games in Dallas in July 2007. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGj_KzpYNU0] , YouTube video of the second half of Freddie's winning performance] He won first prize in theGuitar Hero 2 competition, playing the song "Less Talk More Rokk" byFreezepop . The style judge commented that he would like to give Freddie an eleven on a ten point scale (in the spirit ofSpinal Tap ) but was only allowed to give a perfect ten. Some fans and gamers, however, have criticized Wong for winning because of his showmanship rather than his technical prowess. Freddie currently attends theUniversity of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.Notable accomplishments
During MTV's "Gamer's Week" celebration in November 2007, Freddie appeared as a guest on "Total Request Live". Participating in the program with his newly-formed band Hellanor Brozevelt, Wong was part of a country-wide search to find the best "Rock Band" ensemble. After receiving tutelage from well-known rockers Good Charlotte, Brozevelt performed at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York against Chicago-based Carrie Me Home.
Recently, for the release of "Rock Band", the band Hellanor Brozevelt was commissioned to play at the "Best Buy" in Hollywood, CA for the midnight release of the game.
