Aren't we gonna talk about this recent news? Are we that cinic?

Not saying this thread is a bad idea, but there are concert threads where it has been (and is) discussed.

Yeah, who's that cinic now?

Oh shit, I never check the Tour Forum. Sorry guys.

Not bad, huh?

Anyone who wrote Cigarette Song #2 was never going to be singing into his 70s.

I would regain so much respect for Ed if he shifted to a more realistic gear and sang songs within his actual current abilities, for aesthetic, health, and longevity purposes. I don't know who he thinks he's foolin'. You can still keep on rockin' in the free world with a chiller vibe. Phoebe Bridgers and Billie Eilish can do it and so can you.

I was a singer in a rock and roll band.
Had command of all my voices.
Now you don’t know how fucked I am.
It all came down to choices.

He was doing exactly this until Avocado.

?? He could still do pretty much everything up until then.

Yeah, it's aggravating because he obviously is aware of this because he was doing it like you said up to Avocado, and has done this with a lot of his subsequent solo output.

what on gigaton is excessively out of his range?

Gigaton is def better in this regard than the 3 previous albums.

The high part in the chorus for Quick Escape. I love it on the album and wish it didn't exist when I hear the song live.

he doesnt do it live and it sounds pretty awesome

As the tour wore on, they tuned several songs down to a lower key: Who Ever Said, Superblood Wolfmoon, Quick Escape, Seven O'Clock, Never Destination, Retrograde.

The recording is what matters most to me. As long as he can actually do it in the studio when they're recording, I don't care what has to be done in the live setting to compensate.
