Yes, I am surprised. And pissed off, as well. The Moscow set wasn't great but the one from Zurich could not have been worse. Or it could get even worse, if Jon dropped the last monster ballad still remaining in the set (I'll be There for You). Now THAT would be a nightmare to remember.

I saw some videos and I’m far from impressed. The band sounds great as they always do but they have a singer that isn’t able to sing in tune anymore. It’s a train wreck. JBJ is killing his legacy right now.

You think that this band is sounding great?With someone like Shanks they cannot sound great. Sure, Phil X is pretty good but in Munich I did not see anything that stuck.

I also think that the band sounds great.

So do I. Apart from when he does a lead solo, I don't mind Shanks at all. Does he deserve to be on stage? Not at all. Did it ruin the show or make me think the band don't sound good because he was there? Again, not at all.

I'm not a fan of Shanks at all. I don't think he's been good for the band as a producer at all BUT I wasn't that bothered by him at the shows.

What's bad about these shows is the set lists and how it seems like Jon's vocals have taken a dive again. A lot of people were saying the break after Coventry would be good for him but I think he had momentum and was singing better than he has for a couple of years.

It's like we've gone back to 2017 again lately and it's a shame because I had hope that we was 'slowly' seeing some aspects of Jon/the band back.

I didn't even follow last night's show and I usually do updates on twitter but it's pointless.

Was Dry County an audible? Man I fear for this tour if it's not there.

Audibles:
Always
Saturday Night
Blood On Blood

At least the last two should be live staples if he still had a half decent voice to work with.

I don't think the break killed momentum, I think he overdid it in Düsseldorf and Munich, because it went steeply downhill after/during those two shows. Düsseldorf was almost stellar judging by the last 3 years, Munich was ok, and in Madrid, it started to get worse...

This is great


This is good, not great:


Shanks did not bother me in Munich but in Wembley. I turned around and we were all like: WHAT is he doing?

The band was way better in Wembley but you cannot say that this band is great compared to the standards they achieved in the past
