Whilst I agree in principle with your comments about criticising someone's use of English, I don't feel it was necessary for WoH to say so many times that Meat "can't" sing this song, nor to describe it as a disgraceful performance. So perhaps a case of the biter bit?
And to the comment (in reply to Mr Happy saying it's quite clear that Meat can still sing), "I think it's no more than studio work if you know what I mean..." I'd WoH reads Paul's descriptions of the recording of this album.
WoH may not like Meat's style of singing now, may mourn the passing of the Bat years, may not like any of his recent work; but to say he "can't sing" is not even a reasonable and reasoned opinion in my view, let alone a fact. Meat CAN sing. He may sound different now to when he was 34, his current style may not be to someone's taste, but he can and does sing, does hit the notes, does have great pitch. Paul has worked with Meat to give the album the sound of a live performance, and that's what we hear on it, NOT a studio engineered sound.
I love Meat's live sound, and I am not alone. I prefer that to a studio manipulated sound. That's what we got with HCTB and again with HIAH. It's real, it gives the sense of being at a live concert, which for me pips a "studio album" every time.
