Chris Jericho Admits He Makes use of Backing Tracks Dwell: “Everyone Does…It Does not Make You Any Much less of a Band” | MetalSucks

Has anybody studying this ever tried Viagra? I’ve not, and I’ve at all times questioned what it’s like (I imply, in addition to being like simply having a boner). However one thing I’ll put out there’s that I don’t assume there must be a stigma hooked up to its use. So what if you happen to want some pep to get your motor operating, as long as all consenting adults concerned are happy? I convey all of this up, in fact, as a result of wrestler and Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho had admitted that his band makes use of backing tracks stay, and his rationalization feels very related in tone to that of a dude explaining that he takes the blue capsule.

Right here’s what Jericho mentioned in an interview with Detroit’s WRIF:

“We use backing tracks for some songs, and all people does. Except you’re Weapons N’ Roses…Let me rephrase that… When you’re in Slash’s band…Weapons N’ Roses has backing tracks. They’ve a keyboard participant. It’s simply the way in which of the world proper now. It doesn’t imply we’re not singing and never enjoying. When you’re listening to a file, you go to a Def Leppard gig and also you hear ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ that was recorded with 25 tracks of guitars, you possibly can’t simply go along with two guitars on stage and in your proper thoughts assume there wasn’t one thing build up the background there. It’s simply form of the way in which that bands are. It doesn’t make you any much less of a band. ‘Trigger what? Queen used tracks within the ’70s. When you don’t imagine me, watch it after they play ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ stay.”

So, clearly Jericho sounds a little bit defensive right here. And that is sensible, on condition that Sebastian Bach referred to as him out over lip-syncing lately. General, I undoubtedly err on the facet of ‘Who the fuck cares,’ however I additionally assume Jericho is inaccurate in his assumption that everybody does it. When you look, his examples are all aged enviornment rockers. Name the dudes from Clutch right into a room and ask them in the event that they use backing tracks stay. Can’t assist however assume that they’d cock and eyebrow at you.
