the guitars sound like they're up front again, rather than blended in politely as has been the case the past few tours. nice and loud. jimmy as usual is in top form.

theres a tonight tonight clip out there, billy and james playing acoustic, and jeff is just shitting these crappy country leads all over it. its bad. he needs to sit back on some things.. on a lot of things.

This clip sounds great. Guitars, drums, singing, all of it. Great energy. Hope to see more.

It sucks that Sierra Swan can't join permanently as bass player/backing vocalist.

I fucking can't stand Jack Bates. He plods around stage like a gormless Womble, and wouldn't even be in the band if Billy didn't have a hardon for Peter Hook.

And I'd like to see D'arcy talk to Dr. Drew.

love corgan with the beard. makes him seem like a j mascis and/or walter white type
will be following the jeff/james hair drama

festival sets are generally trash if you actually care about the band yet this seemed like a pretty killer set. eminently intrigued about crush>drown>quiet

The Colour of Love (I dig it as an opener but I wish the band didn't look so damn apathetic while playing it, especially Billy. I guess they're using Katie/Sierra's vocals as backing tracks):


Wyttch (Jeff adds a solo halfway through and James is rocking out messing with some cool whammy licks. Billy sounds ROUGH in this. I thought this would translate better live but it sounds empty without the synths):

Really needed Katie (if she was there) or at least James to accompany him.

Even Wyttch is kinda almost endearingly trashy/smoky/back alley. Like a limp white zombie

Wyttch has some MCIS B-side vibes. I'm into it. Band is sounding good. I like were this is going.

Wyttch isn't the best. Maybe just crappy sound. Too much hi hat! The little solo bit is fine.

I actually enjoyed Wyttch live, bar the vocals. WTF happened to the drums at 2:16 tho?

TCoYL sounds tired as fuck. I hate when the band uses backtrack live...

That's a decent setlist and looks to have been solid show.

Bill's voice in rough shape based on the recordings. But he gets a pass due to ageing.

Wytch just isn't hitting where it needs to be, and the end result wouldn't be good enough anyway, so they should switch it out for Purple Blood or Anno.

Agree having a strong female vocalist in the band would make sense at this point.

yeah colour was pretty lackluster. and whoever is singing on eye is awful.


katie should be lead vocalist. bolly should just stick to playing riffs. they should fire bates asap. sp never really needed a bassist imo.

So they played an electric version of Crush and an acoustic version of Tonight (Billy, James and Jeff)

Billy's vocal performance seems to be the worst part of all this.
Also weird hearing those snare drum samples/triggers on Colour and Wyttch over JC's livesupersets. It seems JC is actually triggering them, but they sound weird.

It could actually be pretty powerful if Billy didn't sound so bland/bored most times.

Billy's new character is gonna go supermeta... an aging rockstar pretending to be young.

It may be a sustainable business but he has no business being a musician. Clearly he no longer gives af.

They should fire B0lly. And Jeff. Actually a Joliet Jim/Yoshinobu James duo à la The Black Keys would be freakin rad if you think about it.
