In regards to Always:



That's you, when someone says that rendition of Always was the worst thing he ever heard of the band. If that wasn't the worst thing, then what was?



Yeah, sure, it was a little better than recent performances. But then again, recent performances weren't exactly something to write home about either. Just because something gets better, doesn't mean it's suddenly decent. Jon's voice wasn't decent on last tour and it isn't now.

Jon hasn't been able to sing Keep The Faith for close to 10 years now. The last time he actually sang the song was in 2003. 2004-2007 was rubbish, 2008-2011 is what I'd say was decent. Anything afterwards has been shit. If stuff like this is suddenly decent then what's next? Him giving vocals like the ones on the Because We Can tour being an excellent thing?

What people do on here is pretty much saying a match lost by 10-0 is terrible, thus a match lost by 9-0 is a decent game. That's not making sense either now, is it?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

And I always loved that stage, with the satellites.

And if he is so convinced of his actions - why does he not send similar letters to our orchestras (such as the New York Philharmonic) who play in Israel all the time. Zubin Mehta became the Music Director and Principal Conductor of the New York Philharmonic in 1978 and remained there until his resignation in 1991. Under his leadership the New York Philharmonic played in Tel Aviv many times.

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) appointed Mehta its Music Advisor in 1969, Music Director in 1977, and made him its Music Director for Life in 1981.

So Waters is just pissed off because other rock bands play there?

Saturday night in Tel Aviv. 55,000 people singing in unison. AMAZING! I just landed at LAX & I'd like to share a thought. to all my friends & fellow musicians who have supported me, thank you. to all my friends & fellow musicians who have been inspired by me, you inspire me too. to all my friends & fellow musicians who have, for some reason, always been in some kind of competition with me, I win.

The few videos I saw (due to his horrible vocals) he was about the same as 2013-movement wise and still made the 2011 Jon seem like prime-Axl Rose.

Regardless of all the energy and motivation and showmanship that Jon displays, the current state of his voice is bad.
