It's like a laptop battery that got too old and can't recharge for shit.

What the hell happened with him? Does he have asthma or something? Hearing him sing, no, try to sing "Bullet the Blue Sky" hurts.

The other members of the band, on the other hand, are in top form.

Surf your cable, you're bound to find it somewhere.

3. "Pride (In the Name of Love)" now.

No voice. No voice.

I want to turn off the TV and fire up my old MP3's, but wife won't let me. :cry:

5. He was fine in October when he kicked ass in NYC.

Happens to singers, they lose their voices sometimes. Yeah he's getting up there in years, and I heard that this might be their last tour because they've all had it with the touring and this has been especially grueling for whatever reason.... but he can still do his thing most times.

7. Dunno. He's been losing power since "Pop".

I catched a replay, and he was much better in the first songs of the concert.
