Peter Frampton's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" :nod:

“The most beautiful thing we can experience in life is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: for his eyes are closed.” - Albert Einstein

seek and destroy was well done
fade to black was weak gotta finish the song and the killer lyrics and solo at the end
sanitarium was good

I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous
sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box ;).

99% of the time I agree, but every once in a while, someone adds something that should have been there in the beginning.
