      I do play guitar and I've never felt the overcoming need to dance like a drunk completely out of sync with the music I was playing. It's just as stupid as his early fan obsession. The guys a great player, but he does some really dumb shit to try and put on more of a show and I think they always sound better in his mind than the actual execution.

    You can see his tech reset a power strip/surge protector (that his left Legacy set up is plugged into) and the amp pilot light comes back on at 4:23- most likely an issue with that and not the amp-a major issue with the amp would have blown the fuse on the rear panel of the amp.
