Jons voice aint what it used to be everyone knows that.
so you either go on tour and try to sing the best you can or you stay at home. i totally understand what you are saying but that power aint gonna come back hence the half step lower.

im sorry but you are talking crap about a voice changing between your 20`s and 30`s it can change any time due to circumstances. yes he was a lot stronger on the crush tour vocally but now he is not as strong. simple as that.

the performance that you saw may have been an off day i guess. but i dont think in general its jon being lazy.

there are lots of songs that he cant handle anymore vocally ( and he admits this himself) but what pisses me off is there are loads he can handle and doesnt bother with ie livin in sin , homebound train for example.

i have a recording of own in tokyo i think and they did something to believe in jon murdered it totally wrecked it vocally. because his voice has changed.

if you listen to 1993- 1996 live stuff you can totally see how is voice is wrecked he pushed it so far night in night out he s never gonna get that back.

ive never seen a bad BJ show and i think what he (now) lacks in vocal quality he makes up for in energy and enthusiasm. i would guess he had an off day ?
