I like Joe but.....
"Lipstick, a great player, could use backup singers, some horns, and a drummer. The band has gaping holes that fail to deliver. He could play well, but I've seen better drummers in high school marching bands. Also, why the muddy tone with his Les Pauls? The best tunes of the night came courtesy of the yellow hollowbody Gibson. Lead guitar is meant to be heard, not dumbed down in a sonic mush mosh. The highs were crisp and delineated in a way that sounded much better than the other songs in the set. Here's the scoop. Finally, as unsophisticated as a fast food worker, the crowd was, it seemed to me. They were lapping it up like cult followers in Guyana. Overall, not good."
