Great stuff, takes me back to 2008/2010 when Guy and Danny did some backstage videos. Can't remember which tour it was, but they were great!

Mr Guy Fletcher deserves a lot of respect for his keyboards work. You can say a lot about his production style, talking style, clothing style, etc., but the sound he delivers out of his keyboards is insane. Compare his sound to any tribute band, it's like night and day. Funny enough, you can replicate bass pretty close, even Mark's guitar and singing style pretty close, but when it comes to keyboards you need an infinite amount of taste and a lot of money to get it right. All the pads, choirs and whatnot sounds ridiculously cheap in the wrong hands.

Totally agree. I'd argue in fact that its harder to be a great on keys/synth than many other instruments given just how easy it is to be lazy and dial in a sound from a pallet of thousands at the click of a mouse. Their attention to detail comes across to some as anal, but Guy deserves  more respect than he gets for his role....

Totally agree here too.
Doc Fletcher delivers superb work although he is always in the background.
But there must be reasons he is MKs right hand for 35 years now.

By the way: Happy new Year 2021
Love will find a Way

Yes, absolutely agree with you.
Mark and Guy are a perfect team for so many years now. There must be a special connection between them.

Happy New Year and all the best to everyone.
This is all the heaven we've got right here where we are in our shangri-la.

Guy has become indispensable to carrying out Mark's musical vision, and it wouldn't suprise me if Guy were a full-time "employee" of Mark's.

The concert footage in the interview video looks really interesting, I wonder if they have the whole show in that quality, that would be good news.
