[kj] OT - Last Shadow Puppets

[Brendan]

I'm gonna put it out there again, anyone else rate Josh Homme as a
guitarist? I think he's kickass, magnum opus being the duelling guitars
(or complementing guitars) soloing out as the last song on Kyuss's last
album fades out...that's totally when I want someone to throw the radio in
the bath, JUST when it's peaking...

;p
