Ok, so yesterday i went to see them live, which was my valentines gift to my lovely fiance. It was preceeded by a documentary of how they evolved today and bits, and christ if these guys didnt go through a rough lot (lost 80% of all income due to manager claiming manager fees, tax manager fees and 6th member fees) and on the side running a $300,000,000 ponzi scheme. To top it off one member had open heart surgery and was told the next day to be back on stage, and another had to go through same after having 2 knees replaced. Anyhow, documentary was actually good, but the live performance was actually rather amazing. It was an acoustic set, 3 guitars and i must confess really nicely planned out. The documentary and live performance gave me a lot of newfound respect for these guys. I also found out live they use a full band, and even give them solos etc, and they give them a great deal of respect and from the start said "make your own interpretation when playing". I just thought that was very nice. Anyhow, just thought id spread my thoughts
