I liked a lot of the things that Spike does differently than
Spencer. That isn't a dis on Spencer, who frankly, on Your Arse
was pretty weak but came back strong on Southpaw Grandma.

Live, I thought Spike had a more thunderous sound, especially
in songs like Teachers are Afraid of the Future and Breathing is
Murder.

I thought the sound and energy on this tour was superior to
the last tour, including the drums.
