Okay, no jokes but I'm Truth is such a banger and a solid song. Really wish The Gentleman do similar stuff in the future.

[@thefunkymunkyz5259]

greetings to you two. hope youre doing well!

[@a-Tom-ic]

I love the comedy element of the lyrics but at the same time the level of professionalism and actual production quality put into the songs. The riffs are really catchy and straight up bangers but with Charlie’s singing and lyricism it makes something really unique and interesting to listen to. Can’t wait to see what other takes on genres come from The Gentle Men

[@phoebus1503]

it's cool to know that charlie is actually taking voice lessons just for the gentle men

[@homicide4712]

[@raultellegen5512]

The riffs in 2019 guy, real to me and sky nut are beyond epic. Troy draws from tool, k0rn,, Gojira. A modern day legend. However Charlie's vocals match it as well . Such a great band.

Thanks for answering my question! The reason I asked about Troy's guitar is I have a black, 2010 Gibson Les Paul Studio and it looked like the exact same guitar Troy was using in the music video for Real to Me. Looking forward to more content. Cheers!

[@thegentlemen9616]

It’s a 1991 Les Paul Studio Lite in the video.
