I'm not jumping on that bandwagon complaining about Jon's performance. That's the way he does it for most shows in the last 5 years. With and without audience.
But what caught me was this: Quote:
Remember their acoustic show in Yokohama 2003? It was with an audience and they played a couple of songs twice to make it right. And finally skipped the whole idea because he wasn't satisfied with the result. It's this change in attitude for which he has to take the blame. |
That constant twitching of his right eye during the choruses of Blood In The Water (as already seen in Rio last year) made me cringe...
What the hell is wrong with the poor man? |

The point is that I keep waiting for Jon the performer to return and he's gotten worse and worse. He's just not there anymore and haven't since there was that slight improvement at the end of the first leg of the THINFS tour. It pains me to see Jon like this. I barely recognized him.

I don't have a bone to pick with Shanks in all honesty, I just thought Phil will be more utilized live, that's where he can shine, regardless of his style clashing with modern BJ. Edit: I stand corrected, BITW solo is Shanks so I'll save my critique of Phil's style not being 'emotional' enough for when he butchers my favorites solos :D Sent from my moto g(8) using Tapatalk |

If Yokohama didn't come out it wouldn't really matter, they were on tour and it's on to the next promo. Logically you're right, the old Jon would have done it until it looked better but personally I'm giving the guy a pass on this one. If he came out saying how great his voice was and it was one of his best vocal performances I'd be pissed as hell. |
Does anybody know the recording date of the show? It was in August and the day after their iHeart recording.
I prefer labeling such events with the real date and the air/release one. |

At the very moment of performing you got a feeling if it's right or not. That's what he did for decades. And that's what I was trying to say with the Yokohama example. Right after they played certain songs Jon knew it wasn't good in his opinion. So they played it again. And that's what they could have done with this performance, too. Instead he tells people afterwards that he knows he could be better. I don't know if you misunderstood me or I don't understand you. But I don't get your point concerning "crew costs, quarantine time, rehearsals, production costs for an album that's already out with very little possible ways of promoting it." Because all of it has no influence on doing it right. |
