[@markdavis1358]

I love the way he plays the first solo note-for-note, perfectly. Then the second, he just goes off into the stratosphere. Kind of like saying - "Sure, I can do it exactly like he did, if that's what you want. But is that what you really want? Maybe what you really want is..."

[@Bacopa68]

Yeah, they did the major scale solo in the middle shorter, and the opened up on the minor scale solo at the end. Very good, but I think the keyboard and guitar bridge section they did on War Pigs was more creative.

I have said it numerous times, but I don't mind to say it again. You guys are easily one of the most talented bands of this generation. That was the best reinterpretation of Gilmour's iconic solo I have ever heard, but you managed to not just pay homage to the original but also make it distinctly your own. Fantastic

Incredibly talented yes, but I was during the solo thinking about what makes Gilmoure so very special, and I came up with: "Less is more" in this case. Just one man's opinion.

[@geneobrien8907]

I'm 72 and I've seen a lot of live music in my time, including Led Zeppelin at the Fillmore East in '69 on acid (me, maybe them?), Hendrix, Santana, McLaughlin, too many to list, all of them seen back in the day when they were on fire. So, I'm not easily impressed but I'd have no reservations placing Maximillian in the pantheon of great rock guitarists. The Main Squeeze as a band is as tight as they come, if they were around in the 60's, they'd be as famous as the greats of that time. This rendition of Comfortably Numb is unfuckingbelievable!

[@phildelmedico96]

Found this by accident and I am completely blown away. What planet are you people from being this amazing. Just freaking outstanding.

[@tendervittlesdoobiestein2145]

The first thing everybody thinks about when listening to this song is David Gilmour's profound artistic expression in his solos and if the guitarist covering them will be able to even come close to that level of "feeling", and whether those licks will be honored or just repeated. Max does as good a job at honoring David's work as anyone possibly could. From a sound guy, the mixing was exceptional. From a Pink Floyd junkie, this rendition was special in every way.

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Agreed. The mix is outstanding. Max is one of the only guitarists out there who could play this, honor Gilmour, and add his own twist and keep it super tasty and with all the feeling. Just incredible.

[@davidcoons89]
