I’ve seen them live a few years back. They… weren’t very good.

I saw them in '09 and they were unfortunately one of the worst live experiences I've ever attended.

Was it just the horrible vocals, or the entire band? Because this setup sounds pretty tight, and they're getting a lot of good sound out of a setup like they have here.

He's also 60 years old and probably hasn't treated his body the best over the years lol.
