I really like solos, so i wasn't bored in the slightest by Michael's drum solo, or the fact that 10 minutes went by without singing, i thought it was great.
I am sorry if someone has already posted this, but i think it's fairly new. This is 3 interviews and 3 Guitar lessons of tracks from Days of Defiance which were recorded by Guitar World.

A friend showed me a video on Youtube with Allegiance as the backing music. I listened to it a couple of times bought it off itunes and fell in love with all their other music.
