What an amazing day ! This band is probably familiar to most of you, responsible for lots of huge hits in the 80´s (dreadlock holiday, I´m not in love, benefit, bullet.. ). What an amazing performance, and such a nice crew! the stage set-up was pretty big, with one of the lead singers alternating between guitar/vocals to acoustik guitar to percussions (congas, timbales cymbals and shakers)and keybord. the keybordplayer also played guitar and bass and saxophone. And all of the band members were excellent singers. My FOH colleague, who was housing for their very talented sound engineer, told me that people in the audience were wondering if there were any tapes or auto-tune involved !! I certainly would want more of these shows, really good band, lots of people, professional and nice crewmembers. Perfect way to start the week :)

I put 3 of their songs that they played live in this weeks playlist since they were so good :D

sabbath the cover band + theatre of pain

Haha I told you guys something would show up !
yesterday at 15.00 I got a call to do the sound
for 2 cover bands at GKs rockparty

Since black sabbath doesn´t exist anymore i could not put any of their songs in the playlist
but what´s cover bands to the real thing I ask you ??

let us watch a little reminder of the real sabbath instead ;)




as for theatre of pain , for those of you (like me) who wouldn´t have guessed it by the name..
they play motley crue covers..

I did put one song from motley in the playlist, go listen to it and compare the quality of the vocals to these live videos .. tell me in comments which year you think motley crue sounded best !

1983


1989


1997


2007


hmm.. could someone tell me what year the autotuner for live applications came out ?

ICONDEMN

I won´t be working at this gig but you might see me in the audience !
These guys are good friends of mine I ´ve worked with them before and they used to rehearse in the studio next to ours in my former band. If you don´t know about them I strongly suggest that you check em out ! I put 2 of their songs in the playlist for you to enjoy :)

Note: funny thing about this video, it is recorded in that same rehearsal studio I mentioned.
Pay attention to the singer, he is singing in a large membrane condenser microphone.I wish someone told him during the recording of this vid that he´s actually singing in the side of the microphone. (looks cooler bro ! maybe.. try turning it 90° next time for realistic purposes...Who called me Mr knowing it all ?!)

ludwig bell + panter

Ludwig bell sings in swedish and he´s lyrics are both well wrietten and funny.
big ups to his band who were really nice guys and kudos to the fact that they were all singin backing vocals (including the drummer he´s the one doing the wooos in the chorus on the song in the video)


Ludwig and his guys had their own sound engineer, very nice guy ! he´s also just happening to be playing guitar in Panter, the opening act for the evening. funny situation to go from the stage to FOH :D Panter´s a good band, drum, bass and guitars also doing backings, and a lead singer playing acoustik guitar. more of their songs in the playlist which i´ve refilled a little bit ;)




That´s all I got this week. Make sure you don´t miss any of these updates by following me on twitter !!
