I’m speaking from firsthand experience here. I’ve been to more shows than anyone can count—at least 200—mostly in Paris where bands actually respect their reputation instead of half-assing it like they do when they play here in the States. If a band sounds bad there, they sound bad... period. Regardless, I still love this band, even if Ian isn't exactly a top-tier vocalist.
Top-tier group. I've picked up all their older albums. "Love" is a masterpiece; we used to blast them constantly back in the late '80s. Had the chance to catch them at an outdoor festival in Paris once. They were alright, though I don't think Ian has a particularly powerful live voice... he always struggles on tour because he burns through his vocals too fast, but they’re still a massive band regardless. I still listen to them today, and it's always a treat when an old track pops up. Cheers.
