I’m very shocked!!! I'm a huge fan. I love this series, brilliant on every level and so music-centric. thank you
@MarvelStudios
and
@Guardians
for making me a part of this amazing legacy!
GUARDIANS 3 is the most visually interesting Marvel movie in a very long time. A bit intense for kids, tho, so keep that in mind if bringing the family. Kinda shocked by the reference to Adrian Belew in a zillion dollar movie!

"People don’t bring up Adrian Belew enough, and I think he’s just as heavy as Fripp. Adrian plays straight from his heart, so some of his lead structures defy the classical approach to scales and teaching..." - Adam Jones (Tool)
Thanks Adam! 😊🎸
