Ok, a friend of mine who likes PF but isn't obsessed with them as much as I am said that he heard somewhere they never learned to play their instruments. Now I can agree with this partly because in the Director's cut of Pompeii I think it was David who said their music was all just extensions of what was coming out of their heads but then when I listen to Echoes there is no way in hell they could just make that up right? So basically my question is in the beginning did they or did they not know how to play?
