I didn't enjoy the drumming, are you sure that the strings are even mellotron samples? M-tron would sound better.

Well, I was truly sorry that I found this on YouTube. And Iam glad I did not see these guys when they were in LA.  A very lacklusterperformance of Epitaph. I think that whatever the keyboardist is playing forthe “Mellotron” may possibly be the worst sounding samples I haveyet to hear. And the end is rather embarrassing as he bends the pitch up andthen releases the wheel before he releases the chord. The vocalist’sphrasing is completely off… Just a bit depressing after seeing Crimson in1969…
