Damn.
One thing I have noticed, Ian seems to be having a lot of fun. He has seemed progressively more energetic in every new video, more so than I have seen him in years. Wonder if he realized what could have been yet?
I don't know, I think he is enjoying being relevant to the metal masses again!
For one, if you were at the show you wouldn't have noticed anything forced. Did it look like the crowd was having a bad time because of it? This is not his song. He had to learn it on very short notice. This song is not that great in the first place. If they were going to do a JB era song I'd rather it be one of the few heavier songs they did during that era... Maybe what doesn't die or something similar.
Joey sounds just fine on this song though. I am sure if he had time to really practice the song he could get it down better. But I don't know what you expect from the guy.
People love to watch these clips over and over and over and analyze the shit out of every single tiny thing.
Yeah and they are getting amazing responses from the HUGE Metal audiences. I am sure he is starting to see that those fans really do like Joey. And despite what Ian thinks the majority of those metal fans out in those audiences like it better than John Bush. So hopefully he is starting to get it and will continue on being energetic into the next album. Hopefully he pictures the reactions they are getting when they play those Joey era songs live and take that energy and mind set into the studio!
I wish there was a way to send a volt of electricity, like electroshock down onto him anytime in the studio he has a thought of writing a down tuned power grove riff or grungy type riff. And when he writes a nice thrash riff with some speed he would get a nice warm tingly feeling

Joey needs to stay away from bushera songs, He barely can pull off his era and he is murdering the attempts of bushera.
Just play the 80's music!
I hope it really sticks in Scott's throat that despite all the shite he has thrown at Joey over the last decade or so, it's taken Joey's return to save and probably rejuvinate the band.
