Hey, it's not just me. Just about every other comment on this thread is saying the same thing. The band (Jon especially), looks bored out of his tree. These are other comments, not mine, just in case you missed them:
"From watching the videos - what the hell is wrong with Jon? He was a lot more active on that small stage in Stuttgart, even while he was using his guitar.
Even when he at least bothers to move it looks like he's sleepwalking and not trying to entertain the crowd.
On the HAND tour his voice was constantly shitty, but there was a different amount of energy coming from them which easily made up for a lot of it."
"The thing here is not the crowd ... It's the band, specially Jon ... Looks like he is trying to embrace the "mature band" figure, and leave the last drops of rock and roll he had in him behind. "At least we are not playing songs from the 80's". He said it himself."
"Jon needs to move around a bit more, though. Never seen him stand around so much lately. Drop the guitar and look a bit more into it. It's alright smiling and doing the odd shake of the hips from time to time, but come on! The man is known for being energetic and putting on a great show. I think people could be bored pretty easy if this carries on."
"Prayer looks just awkward with Jon pretty much stationary, and if they continue to use Bad Name as an opener he's gotta move and show he's into it or else it won't go over well as an opener..."
"p.s just watched bad name from last night....the least he could do would be to move around for it....as he knows he can get his energy back while playing the guitar for most of the show. I'm not trying to be negative, but I'm having a hard time understanding (or maybe accepting) what I'm seing."
"one question though: why the hell does jon brag about working out like crazy on every interview concerning his 'good genes' if he's motionless 90% of the concert ?"
