It breaks my heart to write this as GJ simply could do no wrong ever. They are the best there ever was, literally. But times are changing i guess. Saw them open for deftones in 2000 and they were the best act I had ever seen and heard. We don't need to go on and on about why they're incredible as we all know why. Anyway, immediately my all time favorite. Saw them again in Chicago in 2006 and they were still pretty good but not like 2000. This time in san fran the band seemed negative, kind of a lame vibe and pissed at each other maybe. Just not that fun, hard driven energy it once was. Almost like they were just going through the motions to get it over with. The drummer still cannot play the old material correctly and continues to speed up and slow down on tempos through the songs. I thought that would have been rectified as of 06 but apparently not. And to top it off, the sound quality of this venue was pure mush. I love GJ... the music, the live energy, every aspect of everything they once had. Daryl, get off your negative-depresso Mick Jagger kick and get on the ball. I'm not saying screaming like 10 years ago is viable as our bodies and abilities change with age. But man, you guys gotta snap out of this or you have seen your last days. The new 6 song ep.... oh boy. It's ok. Gold is good. I realize as we all mature with age so does our musical taste and the farmer/jesus glue/lennon direction is awesome. Just don't head the direction of the ep material i beg of you. This band may be done. Or, they may be an album only band at best...which I'll take if they keep pumping out the classic material.
