Dedication, passion, solidarity, fun and hard work.

The man who organised the whole event, Fabio Zaffagnini, said that he'd he spent a year putting Rockin' 1000 together.
He said: "Italy is a country where dreams can't easily come true but it's a land of passion and creativity.
"So what we did is just a huge, huge miracle. I've been working on this project for one year, waking up every morning thinking about how to make it real."

Most of all, how do you get 250 drummers, 150 bassists, 350 guitarists and 250 singers to play together in perfect harmony?
All the drummers had headphones and a click to get them started (TU-PRA!) + visual aid with the conductor (a professional one) at the top of the steel "tower". Nonetheless it was a lot of hard work, I watched several videos of the rehearsals, instrument by instrument, and read what some of the musicians and staff wrote and... WOW! Yes, it's a huge miracle.
The video got
15 228 245 views in 3 days! re-WOW! *double thumbs up*
It's not the first time that such Guinness records events are organized, for example last year 1,000 musicians and singers from French Brittany tried it too (and failed because of a problem with the percentage of instruments required by Guinness) but I see a lot less enthusiasm and joy:

And the cherry on the pie for the Italians is that they did it to get the FF play their town and they succeeded.
