Im still tryin to figure out if its his playing, his sound being worse or his up and down scales is more boring. His older clips he's playing tons of notes too but it somehow still sounds better than the he does in the 2000's.
He's still thinking in the past which is a real stumbling block my son and I saw him at Nokia by the staple center 2016 he sounded very raspy and out of touch verses 1985 was awesome he's now sloppy
