Well, that's your opinion man. I commend you on taking your music seriously, as I do, and wanting/expecting a lot from it, again jsut as I do, but please, to protect how you are perceived by the members of this forum and to have your posts taken seriously ('Alexi and Roope suck now... really bad' thread is rather ridiculous), I'd prefer you rephrased yourself. Dont say you: "wish he could still do it" that implies he can't, and he -prolly- can, not that he doesn't/can't anymore to begin with! To say "I wish he STILL did it" is proper, eventhough I dont agree with you.
Just cause he doesn't bust his ass and over-exhaust himself and the band playing the most complex songs and solos live every show, doesn't mean he can't play in his trademark fashion any longer. Him and the band and whomever else prolly choose what they feel would be the best set-list the venue would enioy and then play those songs. In conclusion, try to be a bit more careful with your absolute wording, and we'll all get along splendidly, this way no one freaks out for you unjusty slandering Alexi/CoB.
Agreed?
P.S. CoB is my fav kind of music too, and my fav band!
