As I`ve always thought JDB is turning into Hugh - before we know it he`ll be sticking his figure in his ear on Design For Life.

I haven't seen them since the Holy Bible tour. I found it moderately disturbing. I found myself thinking 'he's not long for this world'.

A 2nd guitarist will be touring with them. I reckon it`ll be John Ellis :D

Presumably this is so JDB can stick his finger in his ear when singing.

Very nice, very clever. It`s mature and sounds very nice. What do you think?
