John Linnell's intense stares make me swoon. :)
He is so good looking!

That is possibly the coolest looking guitar I've ever seen.

20 years already?

Got it. Thanks for clarifying. I knew the band had started pretty close to that time. I wasn't aware Steve Nieve was in the Jonathan Ross House Band. Cool.
-
I think John is way more attractive than John.
-
I like how Linnell is jamming with the house band at the end and Flansburgh is just like "....yep......"
-
@IamNowJMAN To the show or to the song?

Linnell looks like such a hipster in this video. And that haircut, honestly, he shouldn't be able to pull it off (in theory).
And Flans is no slouch either. He's so rock and roll, but his wardrobe looks like he stumbled out of the 50's. Love him though. Flans has so much fun onstage.

@astralbee Why was he there? Is that a "UK put- together for TV" Band? They sound awesome, but I just don't know how much touring TMBG's do, especially elsewhere in the world..

@khwalt2 TMBG were still a duo at this time. Their first full band were back in the USA rehearsing while they were touring the UK in 1992 to promote Apollo 18 as a duo. When TMBG went on TV shows as a duo they usually performed with the show's house band. Steve Nieve and The Loveband were the house band for this particular show back in 1992.
