If you do go to any concerts I would suggest Alice Cooper or Motley Crue or poison and I must tell you Brett Micheal from Poison is from my hometown of Butler pa. He does free concerts at our town fair every time he is in town.

      Just like most ppl, they can’t tell the difference between good or bad vocals and good or bad sound system. Vocals coming out of a PA are very hard to get to sound good or clear. It’s so much harder than any instrument. That’s why even some pros with much better sound systems than this sound shitty live. If this kid sang this in a studio with a studio mic and equalizers everyone would be talking about how great he sounds. And on the flip side these ppl think garbage singers with nothing but auto tune and compressors sound great when they actually blow. Kid did a great job.

I guarantee you he sings like rock and roll clown today. The whole band was killer.
