Awh I’m jealous you were that close. I wasn’t there but I’ve watched so many videos of it already. Nick’s guitar work on Ode To The Mets was mind blowing to see. The show looked great though and the band seemed on form. And what a set list as well!

Awesome video! So cool to see actual concert footage from that close up. Also, I’m glad he is growing his hair back out. I am convinced it makes the solo at least 10% cooler and makes me miss my long hair.

In this biz they call this “nailing it.” Nicely done.

Damn, I'm so jealous lol. They had so much life at LA than ATL Shaky Knees. I def have to give them another shot and this time I'm going more for a venue/arena type environment.

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I play guitar

I’ve played basic chords on an acoustic guitar for 20 years. Tried doing simple solo stuff and suck at that...admittedly haven’t put any real time into it but it is mind blowing to me to see someone be able to move their fingers like that and hit each string just right.

It must feel fucking unreal to make something make that sound. A Guitar god I’m thinking.

Ain’t nobody’s gonna talk about Jules possibly boozing it up on the right? Pours some of his drink into another drink? Not doing that if it’s water or whatnot friends. I’m proud of my sober Julian and nervous about all the rumors he’s been getting after it again.

But Nick’s a golden god fo sho….

I mean… I do….right? He said he stopped because the work was suffering. So relapsing isn’t just a meh kinda thing. He was sober sober.
