Oh dear.
Indeed typical BDO.
I was in the D, and Third Eye deifnitiely thinned some of the herd, people who had come over from Rammstein then left early saying "This is boring"

So, good then. More room for the real fans.

He's been rating Dannys drum solos after the Lateralus/Orion jam. (He gave him a 4 in Brisbane)

Maynard's been like that all tour. Very subdued, restrained. Been dropping the last line of Vicarious. Shortening the "goooooooone" in Jambi. Other songs being played at the solo shows but not at the BDO (won't mention which for spoiler reasons) he's been skipping lines or breaking them up too.

He sung The Pot in a whole lower key too, methinks.

He's getting older, the voice is getting weaker. Same issues came up on the US APC tour in Nov. He's doing the best with what he still has. Respect to that.
