And JBJ's voice is not the only weird thing. Also the low Overall quality and the Black and white picture, plus the whole thing looks pretty much Cut together If you ask me.

I don't try to defend Jon's voice, but it's a soundcheck. Maybe he's trying to save his voice for the show. I'll wait till the actual show to judge his voice.

I'm expecting Jon to sound rusty, I think it's fair to judge his overall vocal performance when the THINFS Tour ends in 2017.

But these shows in NJ, London, Toronto and NYC, should tell us if Jon has regressed or improved. But I am not hopeful!

What matters is Jon's live performances, here Jon could fail. As a Fan you want a good live performance, can Jon give that, with his voice misuse catching up with him, as he gets older?

Based on his weak vocal voice, I doubt it. I am not bothered if the Album sells good, it's his voice what matters.

If THINFS Album gets good reviews, perhaps it may be the perfect time to end it? Unless Jon plans to improve his voice to a reasonable level then I say they should. But I am a fan to the end.

He doesn't sound out of breath and that's a huge improvement. I only saw one bootleg from the 2015 minitour and it was tragically funny how bad/out of key/breathless he sounded. I may have low standards in 2016, that's true, but I've always liked his voice and I didn't like how he sang for the most part of the last decade, so his tone is OK by me right now and I'd rather see him moving around and selling the performance with a weak voice than nailing every note while clutching the mic for dear life.

I know lots of people prefer decent vocals than high energy shows and it's ok, hopefully this tour will have both decent vocals and energetic performances to satisfy all

info for the ones who are missing Bobby B. : dunno if this can be considered as official but it says "former BJ guitarist"... now it also says "Bobby Bandiero" so who knows?! (published on Bobby B.'s FB page)

Sounds good. I hope "This House" will make a setlist for good instead of poor live song that is "We Weren't Born to Follow".

This sounds worse than We Weren't Born To Follow.

Matter of taste. "Born to Follow" was played every single night since 2009. I think it's not good enough to be played so often. For me, it's clearly the worst song on "The Circle". And I will always prefer to hear new songs in place of next renditions of "Who Says", "Lost Highway" and "Born to Follow".

Could you not just wait until you've heard it live at least once?

I agree , his voice sounds as bad as ever .... it is what it is i guess.... his voice will only get worse with age .
