Pre-Recorded Backing Vocals to be used on tour.

[MCMLXXXIV]

There will be no MA's fuckin' background vocals on this tour.
Period!

I'm sure Ed would rather give away his yearly supply of Smokin' loon.

It wouldn't be unheard of. Dave used them on his Skyscraper tour. No doubt about that. I was sitting there, and you could distinctly hear Dave's own backing vocals! Why he would have prerecorded backing vocals of himself, I don't know?

My guess is they'll have some kind of backing, whether it be recorded or some people offstage.

Not going to ruin my night either way.

Sorry if this is a dup but I didn't see it.

Blabbermouth.net is claiming that Pre-recorded tapes will "reportedly" be used to recreate Anthony's backing vocals on the tour!

If this ends up being true I can't imagine paying $160 for that bullshit.

Last line of article.

I'm sure some bands do that, but then you're governed by a click track that everyone has to play along to. It isn't out of the relm of possibility, but I can't see them playing to a click track the whole fookin' show. Of course, they did do that in recent years since Ed hasn't played keyboards live in some time, and Dave did it with Jump on his recent tours.

Personally, I'm thinking no.

It's very easily doable without a click track. One of my bands does it all the time with BVs, rhythm guitar parts under solos, reverse reverb drum hits etc.
You just get one phrase or so sequenced to one note of the keyboard and the keys player triggers them at the correct time. Then it doesn't matter if the song tempo isn't bang on.
Takes a good keys player to do it, but if it's just for the BVs, it'd be a simple task for someone in the wings....
