Yep. Agree. He's just putting it down rather than getting it. Even the tempo of this cover is stiff and the drummer is tossing salad. Not wanting to shoot them down. They're all good players and doing a great job but it's just a bit wooden in parts. By comparison check out this Chicago cover band. Superb feel.
