      Your lead singer has range. I rap and have doing audio editing since I was 12.....lately I've been specializing in making the best 16 bit instrumentals sound their best on modern stereos. Huge fan, Illinois. Hoping to get in touch somehow..I'll keep trying. Keep on doing what you're doing, I appreciate your work.

      Stevie Ray Vaughan was a master of that. He used 13 gauge strings minimum yet somehow still snapped them constantly cos of the insane bends, and he'd just not stop playing and either replace the string mid song while never stopping playing or he'd get a roadie to switch to another guitar while not stopping playing. It was quite a sight to see.

    I just realized that, the reason why we like James so much is that even after all these years of success he's still a guy that kinda doesn't know what to do with his face in front of a camera when he's not playing the videogame nerd, which means that he still gets nervous. So after all these years, he's still a regular down-to-earth guy.
