I went from knowing nothing ('who's the big dude?') to getting three albums (QoSA,EoDM,TCV).and downloading some desert sessions and misc. from YouTube. Played the TCV about 40 times now.

Too, too much guitar going on and he's so technically gifted. Even though he's not an official TCV, he's family. And, yes it sounds cheesy and like something that only a girl would say, but to see/hear him play a 12-string is to know that angels exist.

That shit was funny. He was wearin a ben franklin lookin wig and cracked a couple of cheesy jokes. Plus he had this funny ass look on his face and was still wearin the wig when they came back from commercial for the end when everybody comes back on stage......he cracks me up. probably the only funny part of the whole show. I also thought it was cool they included Alain in the pic of the band they used in the bumper right before they came on, even if they didn't give hime much air time during the performance. I know technically he's not a vulture but he's crucial to their live sound and he's playin his ass off.

Though I always enjoy friendly discourse on musical topics, I have seen the error of my ways on this one......backpedalling all the way. I guess there were many factors involved in my being less than impressed first time around. It was late, my tv set sucks, too much/not enough good drugs, dog ate my homework........ lol :) Thank you dharma, you are most gracious.

A little dance party for one. You're forgiven, Zoop. Saved me the trouble of arguing with you. JPJ always looks like he’s having a grand old time. A little dance party for one.

Musta been my TV. Never mind my earlier bitching....... And now that I think about it, playing mind eraser first was a pretty ballsy move.

You could tell it was loud, but the guitars were way low in the mix, Josh's vocals were way out front and completely flat, no reverb, which made him sound weird. The only thing I could pick out consistently was the bass, which sounded good. They were clearly havin a good time, but the two songs they picked just didn't have the Ooomph! of the album versions, and definitely didn't compare to what they really sound like live. Was anyone else surprised they opened with Mind Eraser? I hope any newcomers weren't put off by this performance, as it definitely could've sounded better. I don't think SNL can do justice to this band,. Way too big of a sound. Hopefully ACL performance this Sat. will sound better. Not hatin', just sayin'.......
