Stupid German ...

I'll see if I can figure out a better embed without that garbage.

Gaahhh, another good one.


I probably missed the memo on this, but do they now have an official 5th member or no?

I think official title is touring guitarist for Ian. But that may have changed.

Yeah, even if it's all just uncut .. haha, that would be an awesome DVD. I want this for every song on the album -- haha.

Need more time before I'd ever be able to really compare ... this is a monster of an album though, IMO. If you look at them objectively, I'd probably go with this ... and if I continue to develop an emotional connection to this album (which is why I love 59 so much) there's a damn good chance it passes it. That's what remains to see where they end up I think ... cause the personal connection so many people have with 59 Sound makes it hard to ever truly "surpass" in a sense.

No idea. I'd love that live album for sure.

I hope they do land in the Hall of Fame like Brian says haha. I feel like they're grounded enough dudes that success isn't going to go to their heads; they're gonna keep busting their collective ass to make this band great no matter what happens, I'd imagine.

Every time I play this one I get chills at new parts -- it certainly "feels" special. It feels like this could really be that kind of album for fans/new fans alike. I can't wait to see what happens -- but man, it's got some emotional weight behind it for sure.

The production is perfect. No reason to be worried.
