There’s been so much discussion on Color that there are even posts talking about how much discussion there has been. Regardless of this, I am going to tell you what I think of it and why I think it’s a poor concept and why it won’t fly—at least with me. I’d love to be proven wrong (and I think Sequoia would love for me to be proven wrong as well, with a pre-launch $41 million round that’s the talk of the town), but let’s roll with this.

Days of Peace Pack 01
- Jefferson Airplane – “Somebody to Love”
- Blood, Sweat & Tears – “Spinning Wheel”
- Santana – “Black Magic Woman”
Sold. A thousand times sold, just for “Black Magic Woman,” but “Somebody to Love” is an unexpected treat.
Singles
DragonForce – “Through the Fire and Flames”
DragonForce – “Operation Ground and Pound”

I present as proof:
Guitar porn.
