Glad you said it. This guy has got the groove. Piccolo bass speed is pretty ridic too.
Great preformer too, I saw him holding a woman sideways in the air making out with her while playing bass with his right hand. Pretty cool dude.

Gotta say it because im a metal head, Orion has some sweet fingerpickin style, even if you cant hear him 75% of the time.
Between Joey DeMaio and Orion, I want to spend a good bit of time learning bass
