If I could actually play piano....I would probably play my Virus "live" as you say.....But alas.....my talents stop at basic major chords, and a couple minors.
I think we are definately entering some exciting, new times for music. I think we will see the return of concept albums, the 3:30 pop format will die in the ass and we will start to see 25min long monster songs (The Mars Volta are getting close...)
And then we will enter a new phase of psychadelia.......
It's comin'......I can feel it.
