Title: 'Black Metal' Backup Singers
Post by: lasvegas on Jun 14, 2011, 11:45 AM
this song is just not the same live without the backup singers.

the version from louisville was far and away superior to the bonaroo version.

gonna have to bring the ladies on the road.

I would be OK with a recording of those song birds...

or even better...MMJ should hire the local female choir at all of their shows...there's an idea  :thumbsup:

now you're picking up what i'm laying down.

i hate the use of pre-recorded sounds at live shows.

i like the idea of some local ladies in the mix.

I wouldn't think it would be too hard for them to locate some local ladies to fill that roll.

Kid Rock used local, ahem "talent", to occupy various cages on his stage when I saw him.  Did I really just admit to going to Kid Rock concert???  Does it help that I went for free?  Does it make me a bad person that I actually found it entertaining? :embarassed:

In due time, it would be nice for the audience participation to take the place of the ladies.  Sure it won't sound the same, but this song begs for fans to join in.  That being said, the song is still relatively new, and is just in the beginning stages of being road-tested.  Give the tune some time...

I have a feeling that the Unstaged show will be an unfair barometer in comparing how the new material sounds live from show to show.

This is how I envision it.  We should all provide those "Whoa whoa whoa"'s.

Anyone else think that it's irrelevant, since they are using a prerecorded track (my opinion) for most, if not all performances of this song. Nice to watch anyway!!

I agree with having backup singers.
The audience in Seattle the other night filled the role quite well.


Such a great fucking show, I can't get over it.
