    I never woulda recognized Rik with that beard. And it's good to see a musician that KNOWS when his time has come and he can no longer hit "the note". Instead of faking and using a vocal backing track he brings in a singer to cover his ass. Respect.
    I love him even more than I did. In my top 3 guitarist list.

    • @pjm829
      @pjm829 Рік тому +3

      I wasn’t sure that was him either, plus he’s usually doing acoustic shows now. Saw him awhile ago and he sounded great, didn’t need any help hitting the high notes, but he joked around about them in this song.

We chatted and he was so damn cool and killed it that night on stage

    I saw a video from some years ago where Rik said he had days he can sing ok but not the higher notes and others where he can barely sing. That was years ago and this was only last year( as of this date (08/24). So imagine now that he’s even a few years older on this video. It must have been hard for him to give up the lead vocal here so I am happy that he was willing to pocket his pride and enjoy just playing with these guys. There’s a time your vocal cords are just as old as the rest of your flesh. He can thank God he gave him the great voice he had and that he can still play guitar. I am getting arthritis on my finger joints. He isn’t. Thank the Lord.
