Surprised (well, maybe not) that you went here, and I love it! Placebo was amazing live. Dude, you're on a sonic kick lately... I was blown away by your Sonic Youth riffs videos. I love how you isolate the riffs and sounds so damn perfectly whatever you play. I have played these songs, too, for a long time, but the clarity you bring is helping me become a better player because I've missed some important nuances -- saying this as an amateur guitarist of 30+ years. I am still learning every day and don't often come across people interested in these sounds very often. Thank you, Bloxsy.
