Al Krow Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) OMG! My band insisted on playing this, as the guitarist loves it (I've never been a fan). Fell flat as a lead balloon with a leak with our pub audience. I'm sending right now to my bandmates - maybe if they hear this, they will be cured forever... so thank you for posting!

Yes - I laughed a lot - ultimately figuring that there was a very plausible yet inexcusable reason why the vocals sounded like they did; at one point I felt sorry for Norm - until he went for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I possibly overstated my enthusiasm in light of the horrendous performance from Mr Kimball, I'd like to substitute my superlative for 'fantastic', although concede he's not a great soloist compared to many. But in all seriousness, when did we start judging bassists on their ability to solo? You heard Rocco Prestia 'solo'? No-one would argue that he's not incredible Si I'm guessing that when they got to the iconic Steve Lukather solo they realised that they didn't have a guitar player on stage and there was a look at Norm to say "it's down to you mate"! I've heard that Bobby Kimball has supposedly lost the plot a bit, but still amazed to hear him sing that badly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why they gave the solo to the bass player then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was preparing himself for his own, comical, Bass drivel routine at 04:20 onwards. I think he'd had enough. He just wanted it to end. He was hoping he'd get sacked if he did a shocking bass solo. It's the equivalent of musical Hari Kiri. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Very reminiscent of the dreaded wedding gig where the best man says " my mate Dave's a singer, he wants to get up and do a song with you. He's sung in all the pubs round here"😂 Funnily enough, that mix was still better than when I actually saw TOTO last year😂 Edited May 23, 2018 by leschirons left something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
