Didn't Bruce say in his interview/podcast with The Charismatic Voice that he uses Trumpets of Jericho as his 'warm-up song', starting at a much lower pitch and building it up to normal? This would suggest he at least thinks he can still pull it off.

I think the 3 songs book of thel,the tower and darkside of aquarius are the most dificult of his catalogue.maybe jerusalem too but i would love to see him sing king in crimson and trumpets on the next tour.

Personally, I'm not particularly drawn to collaborations for their own sake. They can make an album feel more like an all-star jam session than a cohesive artistic statement.

Same. It's odd because of his great new solo band.

Again, this song is fully fleshed out and works well within the existing boundaries of the TMP album microcosm.

Agreed. Songs not being fully fleshed out is my main problem with the album. I think Rain is a new sound for him, 70s theatrical rock to say, with a mix in feel of BTP and TCW, I guess. Shadow and Ragnarok's riffing are TCW moments for me.

I wouldn't say he put his best work in TMP. From what we can gather from interviews at the time, TMP was composed of mostly leftovers from earlier sessions with Roy, along with a few new songs. Sonata in particular was deemed unusable for a long time until Roy reworked it and Leana talked Bruce into putting it on the album.

Considering some interviews, songs like Sonata, Wounds (maybe, Bruce put it in the album at the last minute), Mirror, Many Doors, and Ragnarok were not part of the 2012/2014 plans for the album. Half of it. Also, Eternity is a reused song. Quite atypical album creation all in all.

The backing music here was all written by Bruce's new band, likely with a bit of input and lyrics by him.

From TMP studio clips and interviews, Bruce is pretty involved with everything about a song, let's see if the 2 guitarists have more say in the arrangements.

No way in hell he is still able to sing Trumpets of Jericho.
Also, those two require baritone guitars with drop A.

Wouldn't Trumpets be like Flash Of The Blade live for him.
 
Bruce “doesn’t remember much from his performance with Billie Joe Armstrong” headlines say. ?
Why not? I don’t want to click in case it is just stupid clickbait.
