      I remember when they had their Audiotree set, and it was eventually taken down at the band's request.
      But their show in Chicago around the same time wasn't much better... the bassist was pretty much heckling everyone that the jokes kinda got old and tired. Sort of those jokes you try to tell but it never lands, then they'd go into shred mode.
      But since changing drummers, they've been laser tight. It's incredible the amount of change + how great their shows are now. It's like a can't miss experience at this point.

    Really a puzzle why they're both playing the verse latin shred now (in the music video, it's only Scott doing the lead). Gives an ounce of sense when you find out that neither of them composed that part; makes you wonder if they'd ever have him featured in a live performance.
