[Norah]

that's a good guess

[Matters]

A lot of good guesses but come on now, has there ever been a bad performance of Animal?

[Birds in Hell]

A lot of good guesses but come on now, has there ever been a bad performance of Animal?

In recent years?

Almost all of them.

I don’t think it was ever a song that was comfortably in Matt’s wheelhouse.

[Johnny Turner]

Animal performances from 2000's Tour were the best they ever played (even better than with Dave Ab)

[Johnny Turner]

But from 2007 on, Eddie can't sing it that well so yeah - Animal is a good guess
Go, Blood, Rats, Brain of J, Spin the Black Circle, Habit .. any song that requires some vocal higher pitch

[Matters]

SOLAT

[Clem Halibut]

Blood

[Farmer John]

Blood

They should give Blood the Lukin II treatment

[96583UP]

Fuck Me In the Brain shalt never reach it's zenith agane

[daft twat]

This thread seems a touch cynical.

This thread seems a touch cynical.

It’s a fair thought at this point and if the band proves us wrong, we’ll all be happy.

I’ve been combing through some Animal performances going back as far as 2000 and damn, you’re right. I guess I loved the song too much to pick up on it sooner.

Animal is a disco song with heavy guitars, it needs to groove.

[wease]

Animal is the one pre-Jack song I preferred Jack playing on over Matt.

Is it fair?

I have yet to hear them play a song badly in the room.

I have. Sometimes SF 2 2006. Have you heard them perform a song badly in recent years compared to how they played it 25-30 years ago? Go, SOLAT? We didn’t set the bar, they did. It’s not even a criticism, just a justified observation. We’re all getting old.

[Matters]

It would be kinda insulting to the band to not acknowledge how great they were in their prime and how long that prime lasted but we all know that’s in the past. It doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy their performances now and I do appreciate those who defend them because they’re still pretty darn good.
