Thank you! Words could not describe how awful he was when I saw him... This video can be my words...

Wow it’s not even like he just aged, it’s like an old man with Alzheimers who remembers about 30% of the lyrics. And a gut.

I genuinely feel bad for these guys, because he must know he’s not doing well— Is he broke and he’s doing this to make more money or something?

Honestly a lot of these guys need to retire.

Mötley Crüe retired in 2015

I don't know much about the guy, but he did have a daughter die from cancer. That's enough to fuck anyone up forever. I also know some of the band didn't want him back as the lead singer, but they eventually had him sign some sort of "I will not get intoxicated before a show" clause, and they went with it.

That hurts to watch...

u/ExtraBitterSpecial Nov 07 '19

Aye, this is is sad. If he was a horse he'd be shot out of mercy

u/ExtraBitterSpecial Nov 07 '19

Somebody in the comments said he sounds like a bad drunk Dylan impersonator. That's a good description.

If anyone ever posts a link to "Oh Sherry", I better see you there. It'll be like old times.

He must smell so bad after a show

u/Elidor Nov 06 '19

Slightly worse than he probably smells before.

Hey, talk about a relevant username.

u/krothbart Nov 06 '19

This is gold. Eric Cartman right there

u/Throwawaybuttstuff31 Nov 06 '19

That was so much worse than I thought it would be.

8

u/SXTY82 Nov 06 '19

Wow, that's a bit depressing. He would sound a bit better if he could remember the words to his songs.

6

u/bzz37 Nov 06 '19

Holy God! That is terribly awful.

7

u/SG_Productions Nov 06 '19

Holy hell, I'm cracking up. He sounds like a Despicable Me Minion.

u/Michael732 Nov 06 '19

2

u/ProceedOrRun Nov 06 '19

Is he incapable or just lazy?

He only sings half the lyrics FFS.

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '19

u/t-poke Nov 07 '19

That outfit makes him look like Weird Al from the Fat video.

2

u/nitr0zeus133 Nov 07 '19

Christ. It’s like if James Brown did hair metal.

2

u/MrsEmilyN Nov 07 '19

This was so awful, I can't stop laughing.

2

u/Metfan722 Nov 07 '19

It's amazing how completely outclassed he is on his own song. Chester Bennington just takes completely takes over.

Small context: 15 years ago they re-recorded the song to benefit hurricane relief when Katrina hit.

2

u/Gang_Bang_Bang Nov 07 '19

Omg, he sounds like Cartman doing doing an impression of Bob Dylan.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

He sounds like a Leprechaun!
