The drums were SO Loud, they obliterated everything else on stage, couldn’t hear the guitars or bass at all, and everyone else had to be so loud for any chance of cutting through, what’s the point of that. The only upside was that the drummer was really good. I blame the sound people but, it ultimately comes down to the MD and how important the sound is to the presentation.
There are two kinds of musicians. The first, is when you’re a slave to the sound/music, and only add to the song what is necessary to make the song the best it can be and what is appropriate for the song. The second, is when you use the song as a wank opportunity to show how great you THINK you are.
Every song was the same, endless soloing that you could hardly hear cause the drums were deafening. I guess that’s the way they want it.
If you want a stage show and don’t care about music, this is the show for you.
