When I heard Will [Will Sergeant] play the solo from The Killing Moon, that was a light-bulb moment. His creativity with the kind of atmosphere possible in a song is unbelievable. He should be added to all the lists of the great guitar players, he's influenced so many, but his influence is never acknowledged.
