Holy shit. Why don't they stop. That's fucking horrible. I don't care how unprofessional it is to stop in the middle of a tune. It's akin to torture. I'm mentally scarred. I'm going up onto the roof so I can JUMP.

And what makes it worse it that the crowd cheer as if they don't even notice.
 
I personally like how it sounds a lot better than the real song.
 
I think continuing on through the whole song--after that hideous first out of key chord--proves that they ain't in it for the music at all at this point!!!!!!!!!:mad:
 
damn... the thing is: having played that song / heard that synth for decades, you should notice somethings wrong even without comparison.

take your favorite / most heard song and play it at 48kHz istead of 44.1 kHz - I bet you hear it in the first seconds.

... aaaah, NEVER use samples live. :p
 
I've read about this on some other boards as well. They should have stopped and shared a laugh with the audience, and then done it right. The audience was the loser in this fiasco, especially those who had been waiting for that song the whole performance.
 
stopping the show because the sound crew fucked up would have been an even worse disaster; ya it sounded like shit but they were able to keep it togrther. the show must go on... regardless.

when the music amounts to torture i think the show should stop for a moment to straighten it out. if only to be humane.

We'll agree to disagree, I guess. If there's no way to fix it but to stop, then stop. IMO, fans will more quickly forgive a brief screwup and a fix than a song murdered all the way through because they were too rockstar to admit the screwup.
 
and the crowd went wild !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was that because it sounded good ????? or more likley because it was over!
and now their hero's are now just human like the rest of us.The gods of rock are no match for a sound enginer high on weed.:D
 
Radiohead fucks up every now and then. They stop immediately, and then start over. Nobody fucking cares.

The singer in my band is always bitching about how we need to rehearse like 340978t984598t7498956847598t739847t x 10 to the 23234298374 times before he's comfortable singing a fuckin stevie nicks cover. He's always like, "what do we do if we fuck up big time?" (which we never did)

I say to say this: "MAN, WE FUCKED THAT BABY UP. BIG TIME. THING IS, WE'VE BEEN UP FOR LIKE 6 DAYS AND WE'RE ALL STRUNG OUT FROM THE ROAD. WE'VE GOTTA FLY TO PITTSBURGH TOMORROW FOR THE FUCKIN BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE REVIVAL TOUR. HEY PAUL! LAY OFF THE SAUCE, WE GOTTA LONG DRIVE AHEAD OF US THIS ONE IS OFF OF OUR ENGLISH ONLY EP ENTITLED MAN THIS BAND REALLY SUCKS TWO THREE FOUR..."

and the problem is fixed. Most people didn't even notice. No one will remember? Why? Because even though we have these huge egos and all want to get up on stage and change lives with power chords, the grim reality is that NOBODY FUCKING CARES.

And most of the time, even though I'm playing in the band, I DONT FUCKIN CARE.

All they needed to do was stop and say "boy, that sounds like shit." And told a story about fucking 348384 groupies in one night back in 1987, that foul year of our lord.

GOD DAMN.
 
Note to self: if I ever use backing tracks, put them on regular old audio CD.
 
It reminds me of one night playing in a blues band....we did a version of "the Blues Had a Baby," and I would play a short unaccompanied solo as introduction, and my last note would be "G" - the key of the song. The singer would then sing the first line a capella, and he and I would do a sing-respond thing a few times around before the whole band kicked in at the refrain.

One night for some reason I decided to end up on some other note - the seventh, I think, assuming that the singer could catch the key from the context of what I was playing (which didn't change much from one performance to another). Boy was I wrong. :eek: He started singing in the key of F (or whatever note I ended up on), above his normal G key, and I thought, "Oh, shit!" :eek: :eek: I tried in my guitar responses to lead him back but he was locked into the wrong key, and we just had to STOP. :D

He got his mouth up to my ear and said, "What the fuck did you do that for? :confused:" "Sorry! :o "

the band was not at fault that mishap lays in the sound crews inability to fix the problem.

:rolleyes: sometimes schedules do not permit for you to stop the show for the sound guys to find out what the problem is.

I'm afraid when something is as obvious as what was heard here-it IS the bands fault for not stopping--get a clue!!!:eek:

It doesn't matter whose fault it was, and once you've started a playback at a certain sampling rate, you usually can't change it without stopping and starting over. Rolleyes, yourself; I'm sure it was painfully obvious to everyone involved in the production exactly what the prob was in the first few seconds, and fixing it would have taken about <snap> that long. I'm sure they would have still made their plane.
