I came across this video just now and thought it was cool how he was playing in the rain. I didn't know you could do that without risking electric shock problems or whatever. It's an OK performance of another overblown mediocre song we've all heard too many times. But what struck me the most was how so many comments praised the raw, live instrumentation, and how artists don't do that these days no mo, and I was like, "WTF?! doesn't anybody hear the backing orchestra nowhere to be seen on stage?!" Am I missing something or is everybody stupider than me?

So the orchestra was either added to the video after the fact (possible, as it's an officially released Goo Goo Dolls video and not some random live recording by a fan or from some show) or they're playing to a click track and the orchestra is a backing track being piped in live
Always wonder whether musicians find playing to a click limiting or annoying. It's useful for samples and filling out the sound on stage but man, I bet it takes away some of the fun of making live music

I'm going with they added orchestra after because yeah, it's really hard to do and it syncs way too well for how nonchalant they seem to playing
just struck by some of the comments.. i guess that makes me the stupid one.. should be used to it by now

It's easy to forget that most casual music listeners aren't attuned to concepts that super-fans are. The other day at a friend's house I was shocked to learn that a lot of folks can't tell the bass apart when they listen to music, it's all one big soup.

yeah, ... but instead of getting upset about it we should feel really good and high and mighty about ourselves, very secretly and quietly

Rumour has it that Billy Corgan, Tom Morello and DANNY CAREY are forming a supergroup for Black Sabbath's final show.
Please let this be true.

Tom will probably stink it up with some tired guitar squealing, but I am cautiously optimistic about what Billy in riff mode + Danny will sound like.

Morello is the only one of those people I care about. And I'm not really a Morello fan.

There are nine bands other than Sabbath and a short Ozzy solo set on the bill, the blurb I read stated:
The event will present an all-star supergroup composed of Billy Corgan (The The Smashing Pumpkins), David Draiman (Disturbed), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Lzzy Hale, Jake E Lee, Jonathan Davis (Korn), KK Downing, Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Papa V Perpetua (GHOST), Rudy Sarzo, Sammy Hagar, Slash (Guns ‘N Roses), Sleep Token ii (Sleep Token), Wolfgang Van Halen and musical director Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine). More participants are expected to be added.
I'm sure it will be interesting at the least.

Oh. So it's going to be some corny revolving door thing. I was picturing Billy, Tom and Danny with a competent bassist playing some stripped-back rock 'n roll. That's a bummer.
