I think it's fair to say such flourishes are usually played with a deliberate flamboyance. Plus, yes, it goes up to 11.

11?

Why does it stand out so much at that part of the song, are you turning your guitar up or strumming louder or something?

I noticed this on some of your live shows, but that insane strumming pattern you do on Streams of Whiskey about that time when Shane sings "there was nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear" is just brilliant!

The band gets along for the most part, but they are mostly irritated and disgrunted all the time, at the fact that I am not in the band.

He's talking about the gig that opens with Shannon, Kirsty sang Fairytale and Lullaby with Shane...there was silly string and bubbles all over the stage for Fiesta, Joe Strummer was there and you guys also did Message To You and ended with Wild Rover. Shane blew the last verse on Dirty Old Town and ...

This is a bunch of hogwash. Just because Shane isn't Johnny Depp doesn't mean that he wasn't a strapping young lad in his youth that many of my girl friends have said had a really cute/handsome quality to it.
