I just read your Sweetlife review (a million years late, I know) but I cracked up at "It was so adorable I nearly pooped myself". My sister in law was there and she also complained to me that Nick's detachment was annoying, but I guess he's always been like that?
Nick has always been detached onstage, from what I can see. Very laidback, very ~too cool for school~ type rock attitude. That being said, he was also more energetic onstage back the day and not so lethargic… lately it just seemed like he looked more and more like he’d rather be sitting around and playing video games than being onstage performing.
