I meant you hadn't needed to look as James vocals haven't concerned you.

I've noticed his voice change, but it was kinda inevitable with time so it doesn't bother me. I'd be surprised if he could still belt out a song like Drug Drug Druggy as he once did. I don't often watch videos back of events I attended because they never sound or look as good as I remember on the night.

I will not hear a word against JDB's voice, he sounds amazing! Some people are never happy.
I've just realised this is the first manics set I've seen in the past few years where they haven't done It's Not War... Maybe we've turned a corner?

Yay! Also no Motown Junk, which really surprised me. But I was well happy, I'll happily take P.C.P. or Europa with Nina over it.

I suspect judging him solely on a filmed festival performance is probably a touch unfair. I haven't seen them recently, but in the mid 2000s his voice was amazing.
It's funny how ageism is deemed acceptable in music, but not in other careers.... |

Just because you are a fan of an artists work doesn't mean you can't point out flaws, or dislike it. There are a lot of musicians/writers/film-makers etc who I'm a big fan of but have a critical opinion on aspects of their work that I think are shit/weak; it doesn't make me a bad fan, it just means I'm still entitled to an opinion. Dude's in his mid-40s and has always been a heavy smoker - his voice was bound to degrade at some point, and voila, it is doing. Not his fault (well, the smoking is), just what it is. |

People are highly critical of the band on here - including myself - but it is always artistic criticism about a band we love. But at the end of the day how can any of us keyboard warriors try to say we know better than 4 fellas that made it critically and commercially? |

ADFL, ME and MJ (tolerate I wouldn't mind if they dropped, not really a massive fan of the song apart from the end of the middle 8-ish section ("and on the street tonight...") which is hair raising. |
