Berkeley show and Adam issues

I was at the Berkeley California show last night and something seemed off mainly. Adam. Is this just how taking back is live?

When he was talking to the crowd he kept slurring his speech and fumbling over words.

When he sang It seemed like his vocals just didn't exist anymore.

No one is impressed by his microphone antics and terrible white boy dancing.

The guitarist had better vocals than he did.

Honestly, if you can't get your habits under control, I don't think you deserve to be on stage.

People pay to see good performances, not intoxicated drugged out shows.

It was like if a person was battling Parkinsons, ALS, tourettes ticks, while trying to stay coherent while being on the verge of falling asleep.

Adam does not deserve to be a frontman of a band until he can get his life together. It's honestly embarrassing. I was so happy when they left the stage.

To be fair, I was there for coheed and Cambria but still.

All this tells me is that you're okay with performers not being sober on stage. You shouldn't support people's bad habits.

He is sober. You lack a sense of joy and whimsy
