Ahh yesss, a bigger sized version of the poster :dance:

Yeah there are songs in the poster they didn't mention! I got all excited b/c Jonny has "Optimistic" several times in his pic and I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! But it wasn't in the Q and A. :confused:

 

 

.

Will is awesome, he likes Killing in the name of. I love him even more:D

Yeah there are songs in the poster they didn't mention! I got all excited b/c Jonny has "Optimistic" several times in his pic and I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! But it wasn't in the Q and A. :confused:

 

I guess they just printed some highlights - they didn't show us the answer to what is Guy's favourite song of all time like they did for Will, Chirs & Jonny, though I'm sure they'll have asked him. Maybe they'll show us the rest of the answers later... or maybe it's a question for the Oracle?
