Good band, awesome venue, lousy vocals
by anonnymous on 11/8/10Jaxx Nightclub - SpringfieldWarrel Dane's vocals were abysmal. Obviously he is a phenomenal vocalist, and I have seen Nevermore perform amazing live shows before. Jeff Loomis, Van Williams, and touring guitarist Attila Vörös played with perfection as always. Too bad Warrel's voice was shot for this show. First time I have ever heard him that bad. Jim Sheppard was off his game too. Either sick or drunk, but definitely not right. They played a good mix from their catalog and had great interaction with the audience. Because JAXX is such an intimate venue and a great place to see a show, all of the positives outweighed the poor vocals. I guess when you set the bar as high as Warrel Dane does with his singing, you will occasionally have a bad perfomance. Luckily, the music was ripping and Nevermore actually let audience members come up on stage and sing along and headbang with them. Can't wait to see them again. The sooner the better.
