That said, I did enjoy it!
What I did notice with them sat next to Graham is that D & M appear to be blowing all their tshirt money on Krispy Kremes
I think there's a fair bit of self-deprecation on display with Coxon, a lot of his stuff isn't trivial to play, whether that's chord voicing or time feel, even if he doesn't think of himself as a technical player.
I'm not knocking that at all - it's exactly how I've always approached guitar music. I never saw Blur with him, but I saw them without him (Reading 2003) and it was dull as fuck. IMO the guy's hugely important and I love that he clearly has no interest in the corksniffery elements of gear - it's just finding something that makes the right noise reliably.
I think there are, very broadly, two approaches to guitar playing and tone- one that starts with the "big picture" of the finished sounds/parts/songs and works back to the gear, another that starts with the gear and uses it to construct the "big picture" stuff. TPS mainly takes the second approach, whereas Graham Coxon has chosen the first. It was interesting to see the two meet in the middle.
Mostly I just enjoyed watching one of my teenage guitar heroes talking shop. I could totally relate to the stuff about hating his younger self for writing complicated parts to play while singing backing vocals.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
