The first thing everybody thinks about when listening to this song is David Gilmour's profound artistic expression in his solos and if the guitarist covering them will be able to even come close to that level of "feeling", and whether those licks will be honored or just repeated. Max does as good a job at honoring David's work as anyone possibly could. From a sound guy, the mixing was exceptional. From a Pink Floyd junkie, this rendition was special in every way.

I came here because of the have a cigar solo. I’m a long time, die hard Pink Floyd fan. Never thought I could react like this to a cover of anything of theirs… but this guy has changed my mind. Two of the best guitar solos I’ve ever come across for two of the best songs of all time.

Max steals the show as always but the drummer is always just quietly being perfect on every song.

From all the Pink Floyd fans out there, thank you!

The balls it takes to cover some of the most iconic songs and solos ever made- time and time again- while creating something distinctly unique but also paying homage to the original are of a size I will never know. can't get enough of this band. masterful, once again

Every time I hear this dude plays a guitar solo, he sounds like he's having the most ON day of his life, completely in the zone and channeling the music, good Lord is this phenomenal

Never heard of you until today... And this got fwded to me. Being a HUGE fan of Pink Floyd and with Comfortably Numb being my no.1 favourite song of all time, I can safely say that this has more than done the song justice. I never thought any cover of this song could capture the brilliance of Gilmour's emotion poured out on his strat, but today's the day I have been proven wrong.

I uhhh.... I didn't think anyone could ever take Gilmour's solo and really add anything, so I figured most people would just try to play his solo note for note and here Max comes along and just plays something magical AGAIN. This is just beyond incredible. Max needs to sit in with Goose!!! Also, HUGE shout out to whoever engineered and mixed this as well as the entire band just being incredible as always. Was lucky enough to catch you guys right before Covid a few years back. Would love to see you again!

I knew Max is one of those top-of-the-ladder guitarists out there when I first heard this band years ago.

Just when I thought Gilmour had squeezed every last note out of that solo, you guys manage to both make an incredible tribute to the source material, but go beyond and push it to your own unique take. Holy shit that was beautiful. The Floyd should be proud. 🤘🏻

I've listened to Pink Floyd for 40 years - and this was absolutely amazing. I've heard several covers of this song, but this was so far above anything I have heard - and you made it yours in a way that honestly brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this amazing creation.

We need to talk about how happy the guy on the keyboard looks! I need his energy in life :D

The way that Max and the drummer battles is wild. It really contributes to the build up of the peak of the song/guitar solo and really feeds both musicians that energy to use their imaginations and creativity within the song 🤯

Easily my favorite non-Gilmour comfortably numb solo I’ve yet heard. Max’s guitar playing is virtually 85% or more of the reason I listen to their videos. The rest of the band is talented as well and they do all gel together pretty well but his guitar playing and the drumming is usually just on another level altogether.

What a sensational band! But the guitarist is brilliant, he really knows what he's doing. Thanks for the amazing presentation!

Wow my man killed it on the that solo holy shit. One of my fav solos of all time and he added his own flair as well as paying tribute to the original. Amazing!

Once again, two things I love Main Squeeze and Pink Floyd. And once again, Max gave me chills with an incredible solo - just like he did in Have a Cigar. Amazing, all of you. Many thanks.

Drummer is the mvp here! guitar solo is lovely but the drums re-imagined are lovely, real driving! really good cover lads!!

Max standing in the back quietly for the first 2/3 of the performance and then setting everything on fire at the end has Prince playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps energy. When it's not his spotlight, he needs none of it, when it IS his moment, I couldn't imagine the moment belonging to anyone else. There are about 5 people on earth who can play that solo differently than the recording and enhance the magic instead of ruin it, and one of the is David Gilmour himself. Max is another. You've got the magic, man. It's not technique or knowledge, though you have those things too, but it's just that magic that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up from only the sound of an electric guitar. Thanks for reminding me why I play.

Jesus H. Christ, what a tremendous version of the final solo... O M G

Killer performance. I really dig the consistency of the bands sound. They’ve made an art form out of the rhythm section and keyboards laying the law while Maximilian plays face melting, thick and layered guitar solos.
