In fact, if I ran into a magic lamp and the genie gave me three wishes, one would be to be there when that happened
I can surely say, THE best live performance I've seen on youtube is Knights of Cydonia in Wembley 2006, that is awesomely intense
Ah man, that's incredible feedback - Thanks! I love that guy. One of my favorite performers/guitars.
I love the sculpt you have in your CGC account of Bellamy, some how it has that vibe of his when he's walking down the stage with his guitar on hand
@theluthier What do you think about Dig Down?
Good to see you too @theluthier
So Wayne is going to moderate?
Man I thought it was Hjalti for a second there and yes, I had to copy paste the name again
Hi there.
Live interviews, what a great idea!
