Only 20 minutes? I play Stoner/Sludge so that would be about four strums ;-p

I love Nathan's playing-he is a great musician. Mr Gilbert is a wonderful player too.

That was amazing! Loved all the little nods to other songs in the same key.

I'm liking Pauls tone.  All growed up, like.

Lou Reed said "One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."

He also co-wrote songs about being a table.

Half of all metal riffs are chugging on the lowest note available ;)

I'm not sure if it gives any profound insight into the "challenge" of playing over one chord for 20 minutes (or 8 minutes) but it was entertaining to watch and listen to.
