As a followup I really dig the London Elektricity set , but the rest didn ' t do it for me . But hey that ' s one new awesome album , so I ' m more than happy with that . Thanks again ! <| sep |> It was Robbie Robertson who insisted on Neil Diamond being there , Levon Helm thought he was awful read This Wheel ' s On Fire by Levon for the full story . <| sep |> I think that ' s the case , Shanks has been built up so far to seem virtually unbeatable he went toe to toe with the greatest swordsman in the world , he walked onto Whitebeard ' s ship and immediately commanded attention , he stopped the War of the Greatest by showing up and declaring it over , and his crew is a dozen or so apparently non DFusers . The only ' losses ' we know of from him are his arm where he willingly used himself as a human shield , and which he treats as a wager on Luffy , and his scar from Blackbeard , which is great backstory to make Blackbeard seem that much more threatening , since that was before he was a DFuser . Shanks seems , by all accounts , to have used his status as a Yonko to preserve relative peace in the New World long enough for Roger ' s successor to show up and that ' s Luffy .
