It is quite evident from the speech and the reading that this guy is a huge fan, I get that, but as much as I am happy to see the remaining members of the band forging onward, I'm afraid it will never be the same for me. It actually saddens me deeply to see someone else singing Stuart's songs.
Bruce is a good meat and potatoes kind of guitarist and plays the solo note for note to the record!!. Stuart was the flashiest of the flash and could never be emulated. Respect to the band to keep the spirit of the songs alive and Mike Peters is an inspired choice to sing them.
This is the song where Stuart really used to show off his flashy fingerwork. Bruce does none of that, just basic meat and potatoes leadline. Disappointing in that respect, I wanted to see Bruce stamp his authority on this lead.
@anticaveman Yeah it just doesn't feel right.

I would like to see them do a show with no singer, because you know the crowd would be right on it. That would be awesome.
