He hasn't posted anything about it either.

[Barrytron]

They should get Brian Robertson in. They are all Lizzy nerds and he likes a fight

[Eoin McLove]

I saw them supporting High on Fire in London in 03 and they did a ripping cover of Emerald.

[Floss]

ya they played here in Cork in 2015 and were still covering Emerald. Great gig that actually, in the Savoy.

Bonus track on the debut album reissue:

that was a great night, first time i saw them appearing sober and they were very tight..pity that version of the savoy never took off for gigs

Was it this gig, that Leoos recorded?  Emerald around 41 mins.

Edit - nope - just saw in the comments Leo saying the vid was from Nottingham...

Weren't they down to three men for that Savoy gig, as well.
Hinds played a twelve string to beef up the sound, or was I imagining it.

So they have a new guitarist for their current tour, a guy called Nick Johnston, unusual choice as he seems to come from the more Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai etc side of things. Had a listen to a few tunes from the below gig, they seem much tighter than they have with Hinds in recent years, but the leads are very different.

Brent has been posting shit about them and commenting on their posts on ig.

My Guitar sounds great, but Troy [Sanders] and prawn [supposedly Brann Dailor] sound absolutely horrible. They are way out of key, embarrassing, and they kicked me out of the band for embarrassing them for being who I am. But what about who they are?"
Hinds continued: "They are two people that can't sing...together live or anywhere else in the world. Everything they try to sing in the studio is manipulated by autotune because they're incapable of singing in key. F*ck these guys, only I know who they really are.
"They are the biggest fans of themselves. I've never seen anyone in my life look in the mirror more than Troy Sanders. He thinks he's God's gift to anything. I've never met three people that were so full of themselves. It's disgusting."

[Born of Fire]

Brent is in no position to be critiquing anyone's vocals    Love Mastodon and his vocal contributions work well on record but fuckin hell the man sounded like a bag of cats being strangled live. No arguing that he's an excellent guitarist though

[The Great Cull]

I like Mastodon but they're all messy as fuck live. Hinds is definitely throwing stones at glass houses about the singing too.
