So in other words, we should be content with shelling out $50+ for a concert ticket to hear someone sound like shit simply because he had surgery?

I dont think so, I have better things to do with my money...yet I would pay more to hear them sound and perform great rather than to see someone struggle with something that is obviously very difficult for them. It's just sad, and sometimes funny.

Look, I love all these bands you're defending (like Loverboy and Foreigner) but cmon...if they suck live, stop making excuses for them. They were all very good at one point in their careers. And they may be again, but circustances dictated that lately they are not.
