Anybody that thinks edward is a loser knows absolutly nothing about music. When you can amaze people like les paul then something called a biff cant be trusted.

Do buy tickets to see them. They kicked my butt last November in one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

So sick and tired of these losers. They have been playing these games for over 23 years. Don't buy tickets to see them.
