Mammoth WVH Live

[ZahZoo]

Wolfgang's first live solo performance from the Kimmel show last nite...

Great performance! The Kid™ has pipes and can hold his own on guitar. Includes some shots of VH and Uncle Dave in the official video they played behind Mammoth. Good job... promising career for the next gen VH...

"You're to Blame" The other song that was debuted on Stern a few weeks ago... plus the Mammoth WVH album cover.

Solid rockin tune... Impressed with the guitar work on this one.

Was that "Live"? It sounded almost too polished to me. If it was live, they killed it.

It was live on Kimmel... they fuckin killed it!

It could be they have more control of the variables in that small studio space...

I recorded it on my DVR, but haven't had a chance to watch and listen to it on my system yet. I'm going to check it out on there. I'm not convinced just from watching it on the computer that it's "live". Super Bowl halftime show "live" maybe, but not really live. I hope I'm wrong.

Solid song. If we still had a music industry it probably would get a lot of radio play. What stood out to me is how well everything was mixed.

Television is a fake medium. Rarely is anything real or live.

So, have you watched it? What’s your opinion? Live or Memorex?

I think it was a little of both. They have sophisticated editing and mixing these days. My wife’s nephew works in the business. They can make anyone sound good. I think Wolfgang was live but I think they had a canned track underneath it.

Fuck that shit. I can't take any musician seriously that would do that bullshit.

[Seshmeister]

The levels of TV miming are

1) Guitars not plugged in - missing musicians

2) Drums not miked

3) Keyboards not plugged in. This one was a good test for years but they routinely now do that too when miming on TV.

4) Different from the album. This one fooled me for a while until there were 2 identical Ozzy 'live' performances on different TV shows with different vocals and guitar fills from the album proving that sometimes they now go and record a 'live performance' version to air on TV shows.

My ear isn't good enough to tell if WVH was live there, the two ways to tell are vocals and drum timing but the drummer has an earpiece in which means he could be genuinely playing to a click track if it turns out his timing is too good and I don't know the song well enough to be able to examine the vocals.

Just before the solo the bassist leans in to the mic and sings but it doesn't sound like he's in the mix. So either forgot his cue or Kimmel's crew didn't turn him up.

Go on Wolf's Twitter and ask, or maybe he'll see this and say "some ASSHOLE says we weren't live!"

I am suspicious about the backing vocals. There is a bit of defense though that they have that guy at the back with the beard playing extra guitar and singing Foo Fighters style. If they were miming why have the extra guy?

Double bluff that's why.
