Yorke does not have the vocal range that Maynard has. And on a good night I think Maynard may have one of the best live voices I have ever heard.
Also, Maynard has not lost anything vocally like some people have surmised. The scream he let out during Stinkfist the second night in San Diego (second leg) was mind blowing and hardly the sound of someone who has 'lost it'.
I'm not sure if 'lazy' is the best way to describe the lack of different songs, but it's not far off. I think it has more to do with lack of motivation and that they mainly just want to play the new stuff. Either way the impact on the fans is the same- we want some new songs! Like Jimmy- did I mention that one?? :P
Anyway, I stand by what I said in the setlist thread. I have been enjoying the sets as they are for the most part and whatever angst I have about the setlist seems to melt away once I am watching them.
