Hahahaha

That's fkn hilarious! Had to watch the whole thing to check if it was the same song.

[@andywithington566]

That is awesome hahahaha The song should be called Sh*t it Out. Sometimes, giving up is the best option.

[@clapstix3495]

Props to the bass player for desperately trying to set the tempo with eye contact and his head but I guess Kottack had already started falling asleep by then!

[@cyrollan]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean kotex

[@markrosenquist8259]

Yeah saw that. He’s on the fetty perks. That’s not just alcohol unfortunately.

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

I think they had backing vocals on “tape” so they had to “keep-up” with a sequence that kept slowing down. An ugly glitch for sure.

[@patrickhale424]

Props to the bass player?!?!? He's as bad as the drummer is. His anemic bass solo was a joke. I played as good as he does when I first started playing bass back in 1985. 🤣😂. I give him props for making the trainwreck a bigger wreck with that bass "solo" 😂🤣🤣

[@drumdude46]

I Knew James. He was in Buster Brown with our Old Singer ( After Buster) Johnny Edwards, who came into Northrup' ...late 80's Sacramento. This is really difficult to watch. We lost him today....( jan 9) it's not funny. We ( You...if you were there) were witnessing the 'very end'...of a life. A sad downfall. James was a tremendous talent, before the Alcohol and Drugs took him. Early Kindom Come; The Scorps ...( for 'most' of those years) He was on Fire. Top of the World, and playing Stadiums. Yeah...this is dreadful. Fly Free James. No more pain. No more Addiction.

[@HorrorVet]

When you start your set by yelling “Good Morning!” and your drummer is already drunk, it’s not a good sign.

[@thegeordieweatherman8460]

I think they're all on more than drink.

James had broken ribs not drinks.

Best comment on here.

[@Diandredofus]

He went from 140 BPM to 120 in the course of 3 minutes.. surreal.

[@batphink2655]

I think it ended up closer to 100 BPM but either way it was disgusting!

[@Hologhoul]

My God, the drums but also some of the off-key vocal yelps. Dire!

[@guitarzan73]

Drummer : "I wonder what this song would sound like as a ballad".

[@chrisshep]

I fully expected the drummer to break it down into a waltz eventually.

[@davec3901]

From all the negative comments, I expected this to be terrible. It's passable. I would have loved to see this incarnation of Kingdom Come before James' passing. They've been criticized since day one and what I don't understand is, if people hate them so much why are they constantly watching them and talking about them? Do something better.

Kottak denies alcohol played a part in his performance in a recent interview: "I wanna say about eight or nine days ago, maybe 10 days ago, in the middle of the night, like four o'clock in the morning, I was in a dead sleep and I just rolled off the bed and I cracked three ribs on my left side. And I went to my chiropractor guy and he says, 'Oh, you have hairline fractures.' And I'm, like, 'Oh, great.' And dude, it's just been non-stop pain. It's not just my ribs; it's head to toe. That's why things were a little bit slower. 'Cause I took ibuprofen and the usual, Aleve or whatever, but, man, it was an uphill battle from the time we started. And it was just - I mean, not pain; I'm talking pain-pain, big-time stuff. That's no excuse, because the show must go on. But, yeah, I was a little slower than usual. But also we [usually] have a click track, of course, 'cause we might have a little bit of playback. Something was up with that, so we were flying solo… And [when] you don't have it, you go, 'Oh-oh. Okay. We'll do this.' It was just an off day, and there's nothing you can do about it." "I always sleep on the left side of the bed, and I just somehow, in my sleep, rolled off the bed and landed on my left side. I mean, that's really it. I wasn't drinking - nothing like that. Yeah, I have a few white wines here and there, but nothing like that. I just rolled off the bed. And that's the first time in my life that's ever happened where I actually fell off. I woke up and saw stars. It took me 15 minutes to get off the floor. These things happen sometimes, and there's nothing you can do."

Name recognition on bands is a farce to me. I have known many well known musicians who get gigs on their name and not their talent.

Great drummer. So many hate comments unfortunately :( There are no reasons to blame the drummer at all.

[@DM-il1hf]

Are your ears not working? Anyone & everyone can tell he’s slowing down as the song processes. You can also tell by the guitarist & bass player turning to him, hoping to make eye contact so they can get him to pick up the pace.

[@alexeyjaga]

@@DM-il1hf so what? Is this the reason to blame the drummer? Do you know the reason why he's slowing down? There were plenty of concerts where drunk or sick Lemmy was playing badly. (I'm Motorhead fan just in case.) Noone was blaming him. That's how support should look like. Everyone could make mistakes. That's not the reason to cancel him. Rather to help, understand and support. Otherwise don't listen to it, go and listen to some pop / electronic music with programmed drums, they would be even (and artificial). That's rock'n'roll. Musicians could get drunk and have bad concerts.

Saw another video with commentary and it was a total train wreck. Kottak is a mess. They call keep turning around and nodding their heads to get him to keep the tempo. At one point he stops completely. This is why he was fired years ago from the Scorpions and his wife kicked him to the curb. He was a bit messed up at the M3 Festival a few years ago. Nowhere near this bad. Went on a rant during before a song after a brief solo. Would not shut up.
