The bad "laser tag arena" aesthetic I will not defend

What about the Zippo, and the half-assed job of Ed's kids waving their arms back and forth?

I think I saw tracers, man!

[Bammer]

It was the third take. You start to lose interest after a while.

I hope Kate Nickel was wearing a mask when she painted Mike up.

Nice touch with Klinghoffer. Isn’t he supposed to be opening for them on tour right now?

What brand of sedative is Matt on?

The tempo feels a few BPM higher than the studio version, so we might want to question what upper he was on.

[Bi_3]

Just one song?

[GreenMosquito1996]

Reflecting on yesterday, I woke up happy remembering I saw these guys having fun playing a still great great song.

Can't wait to see them on stage.

There were no live performances on this, so why want the illusion ? Enough with seeing sitting guys playing acoustic sets.

Only dislike : censoring the D word.

[Anders]

I enjoyed it. Nothing incredible, but decent enough.

[DissidentRival4]

I don't know. I guess I was expecting more like the Brandi Carlisle thing (not acoustic, though) - the guys doing what they do and playing a new song live. I get the instruments were live, but the whole lip syncing just kinda ruined it for me. For the tour to be postponed and still waiting for a rescheduling announcement, I guess I was just hoping for more of a "here's what we have in store for you when we get this thing rolling again". I just couldn't get into the whole strobe light, black light, zippo thing. Maybe it's just "artistically" over my head and I've just become an old simpleton as I age... I actually looked at my wife afterwards and said, "What the hell was that? Well that was disappointing". But hey, it wasn't my thing, and this is just my opinion, so whatever. Glad some of y'all liked it. To each their own...

^^^ yeah, what that guy said ^^^

Ditto.

[Strat]

You guys are weird.

Yea Ed was lip syncing but it was a live vocal take. It is what the song will sound like when they perform on stage.

I’m pumped with how great Ed sounded. Also enjoy that they made something more of it and did the best they could being AT HOME. Weird lights. Candles. Whatever.


That was fantastic.

You guys are weird

[Strat]

We all want the guys in a room together jumping around but it’s just not gonna happen.

[evenslow]

That was fun! All the parts sounded fantastic together considering the circumstances. Must have been a huge pain in the ass to edit/mix.

No. I just want a real performance, not the tunnel in Willy Wonka and the Cheezy Factory! Again, many artists are able to sync up and do a live performance, or at least not LIP SYNC the fucking song!

Yes... Editing that bullshit would be torture!

[evenslow]

And all these months later, DOTC still rules. What a great song.

'Hey look... I can move this candle from one side of my face to another!'

Anyone defending this horrible display is really seeing this band through rose-colored glasses!

[Jorge]

Mike did look like a henchman from Batman Forever

[Farmer John]

Didn't Mike say that he would be paying tribute to Joel Schumacher?

Jesus Christ, tell us AGAIN how you feel about this!

[GreenMosquito1996]
