Maybe this will inspire ol' Donny D to have a little work done on the pipes.

I don't buy it. Sure, maybe he had vocal cord surgery, and maybe he was in therapy for the last year or so, but I still think it was physical therapy to recover from a stroke.

He looks the most lifelike in this clip than he has in YEARS, and just fixing your vocal cords isn't going to do that. He's moving around better and actually playing guitar. Also, his enunciation is very pronounced, rather than just belting it out, which I guess could be a sign either way.

Not sure we can judge on just one song that they probably rehearsed the shit out of, though.

In any case, he now has an excuse for his bad vocals.

I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.

And his new hulu doc series is coming with a new album. It will probably be as authentic as Access All Areas and the doc they did for the Circle.

WOW. That guy looks like hefty conjoined twins, perfectly connected in the middle of their bodies.
Sludge should organize a telethon or benefit concert to save him from himself.

Also, look at all the people wandering around to the beat of the fine music.

Wow. Just wow. I wonder if he thinks that's still acceptable or that the band will cover it up or what... how do you get up on that stage in front of all those people knowing this is what they'll hear?

Again he has Phil X in his band and NO SOLO in the new song.

WTF?

People in my opinion are going to eat their words regarding all of this in the long run. Be certain there will be a tour announcement after the Hulu series ends. The Phil X silliness will be largely forgotten when Richie is back in the group.

I saw the trailer... and I immediately thought "another two hours of them talking not saying much of anything we didn't already know".
You can listen to my two albums here.... Sludge away, fuckers!
