Well, Frankly, if Meat leaves I couldn't really blame him. Sounds negative (sorry!) but it's realistic. What can we do...well not too much, he's a regular human being who seems to be quite (understandably) fed up. Whether or not he wishes to return to the forum will depend on how he feels, I suppose. Right now I'd say it's unlikely-but I've been wrong before.
I've been criticised before for being 'too positive' so I'll keep it short and sweet.
If you are priviledged enough to get a ticket and see this man perform, you are in for a treat. I've been a fan since the first note I heard him sing and I've been priviledged enough to see him live four times (much less than some-you lucky dogs!) and can honestly say that the most recent (August- Syracuse) was an incredible show!!! I'd say the voice was very strong.
"Opinions (as to how good or bad a show is) are like 'a part of the anatomy' everybody has one". It doesn't make them right. If you want to say nasty things, I personally don't care to hear it. To be blunt- what the heck have you ever done? And what exactly are your qualifications to 'critique' somebody who has done the high quality work that Meat has? hmmmmmmmmmmm? What's that??? Oh you don't have ANY..gee i'm shocked.
Critics who tear people apart have rarely DONE ANYTHING. That's why they criticize others...it's the only thing they're any good at.
Just my opinion, however. :P
