That I can well believe.
His band came on stage first and jammed, doing their own thing for quite a while before James came out and they were amazing to say the least.
There was a huge saxophonist guy that particularly stands out in my memory as he was really letting it rip with some fantastic screaming sax.
A lot of the screaming sax stuff in my mind is the forerunner to metal screaming guitar.
If you listen to any screaming sax solo there virtually isn't anything you can't instantly imagine being played on lead guitar.
I wonder what will happen to his band now though.
