R.I.P. Richie's golden voice 1983-2002 :(

What's worse than the vocals is probably the guitar playing. The intro to Wanted is played in such a sloppy manner it's embarassing. When I was ****ing around with the intro a couple of years back, I played it about as fluid as Richie does in that clip, only that he's been playing it for 25 years.

You can always have a cold or whatever, but the intro of Wanted really makes me wonder. Could be a ton of factors, but still, that was really weird.

Haven't paid much attention to autotuning on the new album, since I was more concerned with the song quality. When I give it another listen I'll try to keep an eye open.

wow that richie quote about bounce almost lost me completely....i read it a little out of context and went back and listened to it and it seemed a little more defensive to me like it got panned but it still made a lot of money so screw off...

i hope he didnt mean it like i first read it....

this band is downhill fast - taking fans for granted...practice for 15 min and brag about it...for musicians that bring it...not for this....

i love luke but having the producer and engineer AS your band...we are devoted richie but dont push it too far....

cmon richie....i hope you are healthy out there....

The Bounce quote was fine. Sometimes cutting an album isn't too much fun. I remember him saying he still liked the album a lot when HAND was released.

The lack of rehearsing is the bigger problem.
