So Elctra Bunny mentioned she knew something was up with Milli Vanilli when she saw them.
Has anyone noticed that backing tracks have become a major part of even the smallest band?
I saw TEH Raveneottes a few weeks ago. All the bass and tambourine was pre-recorded. The vocals were harmonized with either pre-recorded tracks or a marmonizer do hicky - and all the drums - though played - were triggers - meaning when the drum was hit it signaled a drum sound.
Opening for Shiny Toy Guns, I told the sound guy how good they sounded. He said, "They should. 70% of is canned."
Marilyn Manson has more backing tracks than the less talented Simpson sister.
Does it matter? When I saw Carter USM when I was a kid eveything was recorded except the guitars and vocals. I think the same was true for Big Audio Dynamite in 1993. Two great shows!!!
Does it matter that we pay to see bands that are glorified cds?
