[Etienne]

What a composition! Pink, well done singing and great show

[Seshmeister]

So what percentage of this do you think is live?

[Etienne]

High percentage, with here and there some little corrections for the version as we here in this video.

[FORD]

I don't know.... the middle "opera" part sounded a lot like they were playing over the original Queen backing track. But then that's what the surviving members of Queen have done themselves, so I guess it's not that surprising.

[lesfunk]

Well, I watched and listened for 20 seconds and that was all phony

[ELVIS]

So what percentage of this do you think is live?

About as much as Van Halen in '07 and '08...

[Dr. Love]

I thought it was pretty good.

[ELVIS]

At least Pink is a real rock star...

[fifth element]

i thought it was pretty good....and thought that most was real....mostly because Pink does not seem to have quite the range that the origional (which I prefer) calls for....

[sadaist]

I was all set to post a bunch of negative shit about Pink sucking and not fucking with a classic.


Then I watched the video.


My initial thoughts were wrong. Great fucking job.

[FORD]

It's OK, but it ain't no "Dear Mr. President"......

[Guitar Shark]

I thought it was pretty good.

Me too.

[Seshmeister]

To me it was like LSD.

It was much better than I expected but I'm not sure it should be legal.

[Seshmeister]

It's funny how in this version it still sounds like 'sparing his wife from his pork sausages' at 3:30

There I've cursed you all to always hear that from now on...

[FORD]

Well, that sounds like Freddie, actually....

Spare all the wives from "pork sausages" so there's more for him.

Which didn't work out all that well for him, unfortunately.

[Hardrock69]

I would fuck the living shit out of her with Bohemian Rhapsody playing on the stereo if I could.

[Seshmeister]

Some of her clothing decisions seem to be a bit impracticable. She could catch a chill.

[stringfelowhawk]

When I first saw the video of her doing "Dear Mr. President" live with all those images on the big screen behind her...... It was so sad it almost made me tear up in a good way. I'm not ashamed to admit that. I've posted that video on this site before a couple of years ago so its here somewhere.

"Family Portrait" is another good one about her parents divorce. I remember when she first released "There You Go" a friend of mine told me she was just another disposable Britney Spears clone. I told him he was wrong. A decade later and I've been vindicated. Chic is talented. I'm glad she's expanded her sound cause the stuff she's done since is catchy as hell. Don't even try to say you haven't heard "Just Like A Pill", "Don't Let Me Get me", or "So What" and not caught yourself singing along.

Oh, found it. Here it is:

[stringfelowhawk]

Personally, I think she did a damn good job. I'm no ghost whisperer but I'm sure Freddie approves.

Ponder this for a sec.... Imagine pitching a song idea that combines a touch of classical, hard rock, and opera then enduring the reaction. You'd be laughed at and on the surface justifiably so. But then you hear it and well........ Its an automatic eargasm. I can't believe an idea that seems so ridiculous could sound so cool. Hands down it earns my vote for most creative and unique rock song ever composed.

[High Life Man]

Saw her live a couple years ago at a music festival. She's actually got some pipes. Watched for about 20 minutes, decided I needed more beer and a piss, left. The end.

[lesfunk]

...or a bonefish

[SunisinuS]

I think she wears a Mansier. But as far as her story and her ability to perform, sure.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I would fuck the living shit out of her with Bohemian Rhapsody playing on the stereo if I could.

amen to that...

and love how she stole dave's stage outfit...

[FORD]

amen to that...

I think that was Freddie's outfit actually. Looks just like the yellow jacket he wore at the Wembley 1985 show that's on DVD. Odds are she probably only wore it for that song.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I was just kidding...dave had the yellow jacket and the hat on the last tour, too...but it's for sure meant to be freddie's stuff from 1986 (not 1985 if you don't mind me correctin you). I've seen that tour and it was absolutely outstanding!

[Diamondjimi]

At least Pink is a real rock star...

Define "real"...

[DavidLeeNatra]

So what percentage of this do you think is live?

some of her singing...chorus and music almost full playback with additional live voices...

[ashstralia]

cool... mate of mine was a lighting rigger during the brisbane shows, he said she ate with the crew every night, learnt everyone's name and was totally cool and unpretentious. i like the girl.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I buy that in a minute...pink is cool...btw dave likes her, too, had a lot of good things to say about her and her work when he was king of radio for 30 days...

[Dave's Bitch]

GAWD pink is a tough one.She has a good voice but i just cannot STAND her.Her cover of sweet child o' mine made my ear's bleed

[Seshmeister]

cool... mate of mine was a lighting rigger during the brisbane shows, he said she ate with the crew every night, learnt everyone's name and was totally cool and unpretentious. i like the girl.

Try and find out how many tapes she used. I'm not saying she is any worse than anyone else I'm just curious.

[ashstralia]

^^^being a fair muso himself, he'll no doubt know the answer to that, sesh. i shall ring him, and let you know later.

[Seshmeister]

I have a pal who is a guitar tech for a big artist and the stuff he told me was genuinely pretty shocking and depressing.

you are shocked because of an artist using playbacks? gimme a break...

[CROWBAR]

I'll bet she did learn all of their names as she probably wanted some Aussie dick(s) in her. lol

She's wonderfully trashy.

[ashstralia]

ok, just spoke to greggy. ladies and gentlemen, that was ALL LIVE. she has a 9 piece band with 2 keyboardists playing 5 keyboards, violinist, 2 guitars, everybody sings. she was very anti pre recorded stuff, because at that time there was a huge backlash against britney et al with all THEIR piped in bullshit. so there you have it! yep, i was shocked, too.

yes crowbar, i'd give her one! but apparently the motorbike dude was hanging around as well.

[ELVIS]

Personally I figured it was live aside from questioning some of the harmonies...

It's easy to see the drums bass and guitar are all live, as well as Pink herself...

[ashstralia]

just relaying what the dude told me. funnily enough, his favourite gig of the last 10 years is also mine; february 12 2008 brisbane entertainment centre...

IRON FUCKING MAIDEN

yeah, baby.
