Tom Playing Foreplay on his Hammond

Man, when that album dropped it was like an A-bomb.
The tones, quality of songs, the harmonies!, great leads and the vinyl LP sounded ridiculously amazing cranked.
When the original Rocktron headphone amp was released they must have sold a few million of them overnight.

I particularly liked this comment:

"I don't know why people think Tom is so great. Yes, he is a fantastic keyboardist... and yes, he is an awesome guitarist, and yes, he is really good on bass and is great on drums... and yes, he did write all of the music and all of the melodies and the lyrics for the number one album in his day... and well he did build his own recording studio on a shoestring budget and invent several electronic devices to get a unique sound.... and also to be honest, he did play every single instrument on the recordings except for drums on just one song... and he got four big hits on just his first album. But besides that, he's.... well.... I can't remember what I was going to say."
