I thought that Roger looked beat during the American Idol clips last night. I'm glad the tour is almost over so the they can rest up some. Awesome job, guys!

Could it be that he didn't look fine because he hated what he was doing? ;D (Just a shot in the dark - I didn't see him). Sorry - don't get mad at me...liver issues ;D.

I suppose that could be true.

Liver issues? Whose? Yours or his? My guess is he's tired, it's been a long slog for them all. Not just the gigs but the travelling and timezone change too.

I didn't quite get what she meant by that one either....liver issues. Now I think I do. Not nice. However, he did not look like he was having much fun doing the Idol thing. He did the old, "if you cant' say anything nice, don't say anything at all" thing. LOL. Pretty good for such an outspoken guy. But yeah, he looked very tired to me.

I reckon both of the reasons that have been said could be true

I guess I can be unclear sometimes, even if people usually understands me on other international boards. Nevertheless, I didn't expect my little attempt at humour to be received that bad. After I gave my 2 cents about Roger's attitude, I guessed that you people could think "oh, she's criticizing that Idol thing again" and be pissed off...so I just meant that you weren't supposed to get mad at me for my comment, because I couldn't help feeling bad about that gig. I was only trying to say, don't mind me, it's just my liver you know, it has problems with things like that. But from what I got here, it sounds like my attempt at making that comment lighter ended up causing more trouble than my comment itself! I surely couldn't say anything about Roger's liver or whatever - I don't even know him nor I ever met him - and anyway, I don't think I could have sounded that offensive even if I WERE actually talking about HIM and not ME. Anyway, even if you happen to come up with a bad joke, one can always ask what you meant before assuming you were aiming at being not nice...I use to make a point of being nice, minding other people's feelings and so on. (While, from what I see around, a lot of people DON'T do that on forums). I honestly think it is what boards should be about - even when you clearly speak your mind on a subject. Sorry it didn't come across that way.

Never mind, Roberta. I think in fact he's tired. Perhaps a huge tour like this demands more, than a man his age can take. Although he's still banging his drums like hell and still manages to sing while drumming, does not mean it's not exhausting. I haven't watched the entire show yet. Just snippets, but I gotta say Roger did not look very different from what he looked like over the past months. Perhaps he had just a bad day. Or perhaps he was jealous of Brian wearing a sleeveless top, because he cannot wear those anymore for not wanting to reveal his tatoos to the PEB's. Who knows? ;D

Sorry for going totally off topic now for a second... WTF is going on here? There wasn't anybody who had a go at somebody here. Please everybody, this is a fun place. Before you are getting upset and post then, have a glass of wine or whatever you like and calm down, think about it and then post! Nothing was misunderstood in this thread. There was no bad joke made and no reason for being offended IMO. For years (!) this board was just calm and nice and since this "Kim-incident" things on here are steaming up. Please don't, it's just a place on the net to hang out. No need for anybody to get personal. Please everybody cheer up! Thanks! Modified to add: I haven't seen the show yet. I hope I will finish download within the next day or so. Just saw some pics and I do think he's tired due to the reasons Eliza's posted above. But I think after this I would be dead. So he's doing well! - but he does look not too well. But the well deserved holidays are coming closer for the guys!!!

We will, Brigitte, though I think it was indeed a simple missunderstanding. It think the "Liver issues" were the bone of the contention. I assume someone took it as a reference to Roger's former drinking habits, but as Roberta said, it was not meant to be.

Well I think we have to remember that the man is 56 years old so he isnt a spring chicken anymore and a tour of just over a month would take it out of anyone P.S Cant we all be nice to each other! lol

And for the record the "lie" smiley I have up was supposed to be the sad face. I hit the wrong one, sorry bout that!

No you didn't hit the wrong one! The lie smilie appears automatically when you put more than two question marks in a row. A problem that can't be fixed unfortunately. I knew what you wanted to post though.
