The guy is three decades older and has played stadiums for the last twenty years. His hearing is shot. He probably thinks it sounds great. These guys lose certain frequencies as they age. EVH’s guitar tone on the last album was absolute dogshit, I’m sure he thought it was perfect.

Anyone else think it’s really odd they haven’t added more dates and are acting like the tour is over? They only did thirty something shows. Last tour was 81 and before that 140. Do they always do it like that? Tour isn’t over, first leg is over.
It’s not complaining; that setlist was a third Senjutsu, a third SIT and a third classics. Everyone knows that.
If the setlist was predominantly Senjutsu it needs to be more than half the show. That’s how mathematics work.
