There's also what sounds like some e-bowed notes.

This whole "Andy sound" thing bugs me as Andy sure as heck didn't invent the sound or style he used on the early DD albums. It was around long before him and is still around now. Pretty much any guitarist with a rock/blues/funk influence plays that way! I hate to say it but Warren had a more "signature" sound that isn't copied dozens of times over by dozens of guitarists. Another thing that bugs me is the whole "Nick did this and Nick did that" garbage. People act as if Nick is the only one that has any say over the sound of the band and Roger, John and Simon just sit by and let Nick come up with it all and they just blindly follow him. Really? Do the fans really think that poorly of the band? That they are nothing but puppets on Nick's strings? That just blows my mind people STILL do that. If the album goes great, they are ALL brilliant, but if something is wrong or doesn't go how they like, just blame Nick, it HAS to be his fault! Seriously?

Yes! I say blame Nick!!!! Come on, I can't blame JT or Simon... or god forbid Roger. That might send him back into retirement. Ha.

Im with you on the Nick thing Randal I have noticed that he gets blamed for certain things more than the others. The album art is a fine example of that even though john talked just as if not more passionately about the artist than nick did in their kafe's.

It was my group of friends and I that coined Nick The Controller - and YES, that name was given to him as a term of endearment because we know how much time and effort he's put into the band over the years. He was the one to stay behind working while everyone else flew out to Sri Lanka to film those videos way back in the day, and he didn't want to leave until it was all perfect. Nick is a perfectionist, thank goodness! We love Nick, we never meant that he was the only one responsible, of course not. We also call him The Alien - but it's because he such a perfectionist, and the man never breaks a sweat! It's all done out of love though, in the same way that we tease LeBon endlessly about anything else we can think of.

Wasn't there a rumor that Nick had his sweat glands removed?

Wasn't there a rumor that Nick had his sweat glands removed? NO....really?!? I didn't know that!!!! ROFL Again, we were just messing around and mainly being pains in the @ss. LOL I've just always been amazed at how the man barely even GLISTENS on stage, while the rest of them are dripping! (naturally given the nature of his work, he doesn't have to move much, but still!) LOLOL Oh boy....

Wow, what an intelligent, well thought out response! As if you ever respond when I (or anyone) lay out logical points that shut down your whiny arguments and/or often blatanty incorrect "facts"?

LOLOL Oh boy.... maybe he has a REAL powerful fans blowing on him at all times? True, he doesn't have to jump around or walk from side to side. I am sure his spot is the coolest on the stage.

Moving on.. My point, which you either missed or chose to ignore, as usual, is that you always "move on" no matter what method anyone uses in responding to your bs, so I'm not going to bother taking the time to craft a serious response anymore. Oh, and while we're at it, I'd take a personal attack any day of the week over the "some people here" or "certain fans" type of barbs you hide behind pretty much daily when complain- err, I mean, posting.
