There's nothing 'special' about them. I was sure it going to be Bob Dylan warming up before he goes on his American tour. :(

TOMQ84: you obviously have no idea who N.E.R.D are .. they are nothing at all like Jay-Z at all... how is it a sad day for rock and roll when N.E.R.D have always had a Rock&Roll band in spymob playing for them... until recently another rock and roll band are playin the music.... you should see them live before you comment you stupid twat. they are one of the best live bands around.
