Members Prog Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 http://warmowski.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/jump-in-pitch/ This is from another forum, so I figured it would show up here sooner or later. The human element is rarely this poor. I'm surprised Eddie kept hitting those sour notes. Can't he hear anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpatz Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 Interesting... well it said the keyboard parts were 1.5 semitones sharp, so that would be tricky to transpose on a guitar without retuning. That said, why didn't they just fix the bitrate on the keyboard playback and start over? Or better yet, why didn't they have a real keyboard player?

Members The Audacity Works Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 Or better yet, why didn't they have a real keyboard player?No kidding. U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, and Placebo all utilize keyboardists hiding in the back or even offstage. Even if you think keyboardists look lame next to your supergroup, the least you can do is pay a human to hide in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akliner Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 KEYBOARDISTS MAKE THE SUPERGROUP. A GROUP CANNOT BE SUPER UNLESS IT HAS A KEYBOARDIST IN ITS EMPLOY. That's true, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, Van Halen got what they deserved by using a recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Pro Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 Great post... we don't get that kind of justification often. Thanks. And to Van Halen: next time that happens be professional and play a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wades_keys Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 And to Van Halen: next time that happens be professional and play a rest. The back track which runs throughout the song was off. There was really nothing that they could do. Kudos to Wolfgang for noticing immediately that the backtrack was off and not attempting to play the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shaft9000 Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 Jeeezuzzz...that's the worst I've ever seen a million-selling band f*ck up on stage before. I almost feel sorry for them, but they got paid ten times more for that gig then I ever have. Suprised to hear Diamond Dave's still got his pipes in good working order. It sounds like Eddie could use his OB-Xa though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bruto Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 I guess once you start the song you have no choice but finish - still it was horrible. Fans didn't seem to care though. Nice to hear David Lee back in front. I really liked Sammy Hagar with Montrose, but IMO, he never seemed to fit in vocally with VH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prog Posted October 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hasn't anyone tried to find out what key the backing track is in? It's surprising the guitarists couldn't easily compensate. Amatuer Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising the guitarists couldn't easily compensate. Amatuer Hour. WTF? I just grabbed my bass to see for myself - dude the song is supposed to be in the key of C. As the video poster said, the actual pitch played was about 1.5 semitones sharp. I'd pay money to see you or any guitarist who could "easily compensate" in that situation. You do understand that a half a semitone cannot be played on a guitar except by bending the strings, right? And when I say bending I mean bending it to an odd interval that no western guitarist would ever use. It's basically not possible to "easily compensate" in that situation. Calling Eddie an amateur - wow - I guess you're the super pro of all pros. That guy has done more for rock guitar than any living guitarist and is a legend. Where is your band playing tonight?

Which part of your bass did you grab? Yes, that whole disaster was amatuer hour mistakes. None of them should have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
