[@scampthelazycat9891]

love pats guitar playing, not as keen on his singing

[@christy123455443]

the bass player isnt even playing! whats that about? drummer rocks seen him a few times

[@savedandblessed79]

As much as I love this band. This sounds shit

[@shaunhennessy603]

Loved mamas boys as a teenager but.... Great playing but unfortunately like many guitarist/singers don't put nearly as much effort into the singing as the guitar? He looks uncomfortable singing and it's like he can't wait to move away from the Mike! The band also seemed to speed up??

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

He wasn't the original singer plus it is much more difficult and often humanly impossible to play certain songs and play flawless guitar at the same time.

[@shaunhennessy603]

@@TheHumbuckerboy Should have just got a singer in to front the band and stuck to playing guitar. Not much point in doing both if the singing is compromised....Apart from guitar players that's what most people listen to!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

@@shaunhennessy603 I agree but I was simply pointing out how difficult it often is to sing and play certain guitar parts simultaneously .
