I'm blanking on who can currently still bring it (any genre) after several years/decades, but there has to be.
I saw Robert Plant in September and he still sounds great.
Others who are in Perry's age group or older who still sound good (in my opinion)
Paul Weller
Bruce Springsteen
Madonna
Kate Bush
Dave Gahan(Depeche Mode)
Wayne Hussey(The Mission)
Gary Numan( he sounds better than ever! )
David Byrne
Robert Smith
Prince
That's all that comes to mind at the moment
I saw Robert Plant tour with both Alison Krause & then again with the Band of Joy in the past 4 years & I agree, he was on point.(and aging gracefully I might add)
I Will add to the list :
Ann Wilson (Heart- they were in town recently and rocked it)
Ozzy (Sabbath tour 2013 was epic/ he was hitting his cues and notes no problem)
Chiming in. To be fair, some of those early TGEA tour shows were good, and had good setlists, and even new songs! Perry was even into and smiling the whole time. The band even seemed to like eachother! Those shows at Irving plaza when tgea dropped were out of control. Then it fell apart towards the end and the Alice in Chains tour was a cash in. A few of the Shocking tour shows were great too. It seems like the last year thoughPerry has been totally out of it. The band doesn't communicate at all on stage anymore. It's obvious that Dave will only tour with his entourage, and Perry will only tour if Etty is a part of it. I almost accept all that. But what I fucking hate is that Perry claims to love Janes but its obvious he only shows up to collect some money. The first ever Ritual celebration looks like a fucking bore on youtube. Come on Fellas! Wake up!
1. Count how many times the "dancers" run their hands through their hair, or do a hair flip.
2. Figure out why the hell they added those "pew pew pew" raygun noises to the breakdown. (I mentioned this in my critique. Well, HERE THEY ARE. 3:00 minute mark)

I don't think you can really compare any of these to the screaming banshee style of singing Perry engaged in. I'd never expect that it could last. Robert Plant is the closest, but he didn't really go anywhere near as far as Perry's really wild screaming. What Plant did do is a lot of really high notes, and he can't really do that anymore. The difference today is that Plant has more passion and focus, and his voice is not as tattered. I think Perry could do a lot better if he really cared, practiced, and got some professional voice help. Nevertheless, given what he did to his voice in his prime, I think he was never going to escape serious vocal damage.
Incidentally, from what I've seen of fairly recent Ozzy (which admittedly isn't much), he seems like he's almost constantly out of tune.
he just needs like an afternoon in the park...soo much built up anger lol let it go!!!! hes some old shitty rocker ekking out the check for etty shoe money...leave him alone brah!
I'm not angry at all. I'm just talking about Jane's Addiction.
When they do something I like, I am certainly willing to admit it. I gave TGEA favorable reviews for the most part (except the Duff songs. I hate the Duff songs).
Not only is this terrible, it's also dull and boring. At this point, Jane's is a nice, steady safe job to have. They only have to tour from May to October, with scattered private events here and there. I guess this is how it's gonna be until the band ends for good.
I have a choice to make guys.. I have homie passes to next weekends FFF Fest and Wu-Tang and Jane's play at the same time. The better half has never seen Wu-Tang so I think that is where I will end up but for the sake of argument is there any reason I should subject her to this version of Jane's doing RdlH live?

since it's rdlh go see jane's. if it was their regular show i wouldn't say that. have many drinks before the show and you will have a great time.
