good Lord...... the vocals are almost as bad as the guitar. (almost)

Which brings up another subject.... a pet peeve of mine: WHY are people screaming in approval?

WHY
do people so often clap for ****? Is it because they expected to hear something good? Is it because they dont want to disappoint their favorite performer? Is it because they dont know any difference and just figure it MUST be good?

Teenage performance art + Marilyn Manson / Slipnot inspiration + trombone + a LIBRARY + a heckler (a prescient one too!) = this.

Painful. Just painful to watch.

Regarding the VH video of Jump, OUCH. But either the keyboard was not shifted down to match Eddie's tuning, or the guitar given to him was tuned in standard. Either way, the first note would have let him know and he had plenty of time to put it down or grab another one if that was the case.

HA!....or maybe it makes a walk in the park seem like a bad acid trip..... either way, it was BAD

And now that we've opened up to trashing teenage bands, there is this:

.... and I thought MY singing was bad

and then there is this, which almost seems like a put-on, although unfortunately it's not.

Please watch all videos that you are contemplating posting on this forum.............anything that contains profanity must not be posted here. If a video does contain profanity and you post it here, I can assure you that it will be deleted. Furthermore, if we notice a pattern of ignoring forum rules, we will be dealing with the individual(s) responsible.

I have just deleted such a video and it has made at least one subsequent comment seem out of place.

Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.

What's the problem? That's how Eddie sounds. This is the only way I know of this song as well. it just sounds correct for me.

He sounds better here:

but I agree that he's sounding pretty lame on "Last Kiss"
