I don't think so as he does the sound, but he's obviously a very talented keyboard player and probably plays other instruments.Lt Kudu.

I don't think Louis will be the one for the live gigs. My bet is on the chap from Four More Heroes since JJ mentioned he was in a very good Stranglers tribute band years ago.

As for these videos, I mostly enjoy our Louie in his Hawaii-esque shirt, built like many of us, chatting away about it all.
I agree 100% with what you say here,i've enjoyed the preview vids too especially White Stallion where i have watched it now loads of times.Its also clever PR work from the team creating intrest for the new album,the hardcore fan base will always by the album on release date regardless of good PR or none what so ever,but its good PR intrest for those who are not who might then too also go out and buy this album.White Stallion has been the best preview vid for this album for me anyway by far,for me it says this band is serious and have a really god album on there hands and will stop at nothing to produce an epic album which may or may not be the case when released time will tell,but for sure its got fans intrest and really talking about this long awaited album after 9 years with Dave's last work,clever PR again create an intrest to buy and i too have enjoyed on here discussing all these preview vids along with the rat chats.

Best song on the album for me so far. In fact it's miles apart from anything else. They need to push this one hard IMO

I wonder whether the baroque intro is a 'Dave bit' that was bolted onto the song - certainly sounds at odds with the rest (but doesn't detract?)

Is it an off the shelf classical/baroque MIDI sequence or is that him laying it down live(ish?)

This one is ok but I wouldn't go overboard on it. I'm more looking forward to Last Man on the Moon!

I agree too i just love his Hawaii shirt,the whole preview vid for White Stallion has been very well made the way they have edited this vid creates real intrest to want to hear this album and to them hopeing people will purchase it being good PR from the team,easily their best preview vid for DM....top notch! i've watched it lots of times can't wait to here it now in full.
