By the way I saw the band THREE (spelled out and not to be confused with "3" which is a different band altogether to my understanding) open for Scorpions last fall... they are INCREDIBLE musicians, they put on literally the best sounding performance I think I have ever seen/heard. The sound effects were used perfectly and the vocalist did an amazing classical solo (it was a slap guitar sort of technique... there's a name for it but I forget). Their music wasn't particularly great, but the musicianship was jaw-dropping. At least I hope that's the same band we're all talking about here and not 3. Odd how those two bands ended up in the same subgenre of prog (crossover). It makes things so confusing!

  I saw these guys, (Three), open for Porcupine Tree last November. They did sound awesome on stage. However, we couldn't here the vocals, because we were right up against the stage.  Loved the slap playing method. I though that was pretty original and hadn't seen it before.
   So after the show, my friend buys their latest CD. I was bummed, because I didn't bring enough money to buy a copy for myself, and he couldn't loan me any. We even shook hands with the band, and told them we enjoyed the show, and so on.
  We threw the CD in the player on the way home, and couldn't believe our ears! The singer, which we couldn't hear in concert, sounded like one of those pseudo boy band singers. It was some kind of "girly" voice. It was awful!  We got have way through the CD and we couldn't take it anymore. 
  You'd be surprised how far a CD will fly like a frisbee, when flung out of a car tooling down the freeway.
