My dream tour this year would have been a combined Creed + Alter Bridge 20-year Human Clay playthrough + 15-year One Day Remains playthrough. They could have alternated "opening" and "closing" bands. I would have traveled anywhere on the planet to see that. Well, there's always 2...

It's probably a great album as a whole, but I wouldn't know because I can't get past about the 5th song withou...

Find the Real.

E-bow? Awesome! Pink Floyd's "Take It Back" always comes to mind with its heavy use in creating background ambiance, beginning with the very first sounds of the track.
