      @@CamusCombat Paul left the band 2 years later in 1984 (he had just turned 22 the month prior). But like you said, he stated on VH1's Bands Reunited he felt he was too young for the rock & roll lifestyle. The stress/pressure of constantly touring took a toll on him and he turned to alcohol & drugs to try to cope. Eventually he had enough and had to get out, but he still ended up having a nervous breakdown in the aftermath. It's a shame the industry broke him because he is an amazing guitarist and one of the most underrated of the 80s for sure.

    Hey Mr. Video! Some advice about your new guitar:
    Here’s a list of things you need to do to start jamming a way:
    1) You have an electric guitar, so you need to plug it into an amp to be able to play it. You’ll need to purchase an amp. Just search up guitar amp buying guide on UA-cam and that’ll help you find the right amp. I would suggest going to a nearby guitar store and trying out their amps to see if one works for you.
    2) You’ll need to purchase picks to strum with (they’re VERY cheap, like 25¢ a pick), and a tuner to tune your guitar with (those are cheap too)
    3) Check our guitar lessons on UA-cam (MartyMusic is my favorite) or check out Fender.com’s Free lessons for 3 months program (I’ve used it before, it’s really helpful for beginners)
    Then you’re ready to start jamming! Play just 10 mins a day and you’ll be on your way to becoming a great guitarist!

    • @priestessholleywood
      @priestessholleywood 4 роки тому +2

    I seen the band about 20 years ago. I won front row tickets and it was AMAZING! I went to go get a beer and I went up to a security guard and I said, jokingly, tell Mike Score(lead singer) I would like to meet him.......and he did and I had a lovely conversation with him. He was so kind and I will forever be grateful. LOVE TFOS!!! All their songs are pretty amazing, but try Space age love song and Wishing I had a photograph, they are my favorites. Great reaction, my friend ❤

      ​@@vannaty7 Mike's brother Ali returned (along with Paul and Frank) when they did the VH1 Bands Reunited thing in 2003, then they did a brief reunion tour in 2004, but it fell apart fast when old tensions resurfaced and everyone started fighting again, and then Mike ditched the other 3 and went back to his touring band (while still promoting the remaining dates as "the original lineup"). But the original 4 have reunited for the Ascension, In Flight & String Theory albums (but they all recorded their parts separately and sent them in to be mixed). Mike and Ali don't really speak much outside of occasional family functions. Mike sadly has a lot of ego problems and that was the root of what eventually tore the band apart (Frank said on Bands Reunited that Mike went to counseling for his ego issues, but it didn't do much good).

    You need to check out Gary Numan. I’m not saying Flock of Seagulls aren’t legit, yes I am, but Gary Numans shit sounds like it drops tomorrow. Came out in 1979 and still relevant. His song ‘Cars’ would be the too easy choice.
    ‘Are Friends Electric’
    ‘Metal’
    ‘M.E.’
    Are the three to pick from.
