Overall appearance of how he performs during the songs has gone way down, for example compared to how other guys perform. Richie imitating Hugh's style (physically) now?

And for fu'ks sake the belly - what he wishes to become? Big lovely teddy bear?

So what's wrong with this guy? Becoming a blues artist after divorce or what? Afraid to throw himself into it like he used to? Cause that, to big extend, is what made Richie such a good guitarist originally.
