adje - The Neil Young CD is indeed brilliant - you do not lie.
PHIL!!!! - I don't like Funeral for a Friend but they are genuinely good guys. My friend's nephew was killed a few years ago. They were his favourite band. My friend contacted them to see if they would play a benefit gig at his school and they did. Turned up in their big tour bus, played a long set and were then drinking with everyone, signing autographs, pictures etc. Apparently had time for everyone including my mate's 80 year old mum.
Just seen this. I remember hearing about this particular gig. A nice touch by them, it has to be said. But yeah, they are one of the more 'down to earth' sort of bands. They don't let all the rockstar fame bullshit go to their heads. Very nice people, like you say.
