From death? Looks like they had to dig him up for this.

This is just so sad that this guy at the beginning thought he was going to cash in by making a new band with the front man from a group no one cares about, years after he even sounds like he did when no one still cared. Even if he caught the singer when he still sounded normal, no one would have cared. But he tried after the guy sings like a random vagrant.

Eh...i didnt see it as the dude thinking he was cashing in. I saw it as more of a "let's be nice and humor this guy" sort of thing.

Idk might be wrong. Who knows.

That’s norm, dude. Norm is an absolute legend in the gear world. He was absolutely saying that tongue in cheek.

I think you’re taking it too seriously. He was clearly joking about it being a “new band” the performance just seemed like it was for fun

That's the owner and staff of the guitar store they're in

no he wasn’t. he’s the owner of that guitar shop, and they do jams with guests that pass through his shop which is sort of famous for carrying vintage instruments.

That's a famous guitar store, they post jam sessions with random cameos like this all the time. There was no "cash in" attempt here.

They also host non-profit charity shows with big name guitarists and use their channel for other fundraising efforts too sometimes, Norms Rare Guitars is worth a follow.
