Travis The Dragon
AFTERGLOW!!!
I have no complaints. I'm just very thankful that Maiden is still putting on great live shows and that we get these live streams.
Because apparently nobody that has seen them on this tour either heard this or thought to mention it...Why is everyone just now talking (and complaining) about the backing vocals on Powerslave? They've been there the entire tour.
I was too busy losing my mind over Powerslave to give a shit about what was going on with the backing vocals.Yeah, I honestly did not hear them at all in either Vegas or Chicago.
Is all sampling cheating then? How about the string parts played by Michael Kenney during Blood Brothers? That sound comes from a sample of a real orchestra, is that cheating? Or the choir sounds on SSOASS? Is having an unseen keyboard player altogether cheating? Not rhetorical, I'm curious on how these differ for you.My take on the Powerslave backing vox is:
It's highly improbable that they are single note samples of Bruce's original recordings being played on a keyboard. For various reasons.*
I don't like it either, but I'm pretty sure it's just a track. As @matic22 said, the track either starts at the beginning of the song or gets triggered by whomever when these voices enter.
But EVEN IF these voices were samples played on a keyboard - which they certainly aren't IMO - I would dislike that to almost the same degree.
*Who should be the keyboard tech master in the Maiden camp, that not only sampled every single note off of every single backing voc track (I wonder if these even still exist individually), but also programmed them so that they float organically as you described (Rudess) etc.? This just doesn't sound like Maiden; pragmatically, they would just never do that. What would even be the point, when you can just run a track? Cheating is cheating. AND it just sounds like the unaltered original vocals.
I don't think the link on that site is very safe... It made me download MEGAsync, which does nothing and just gained access to my documents.MP3s now available on guitars101.com. I haven't listened yet but imagine Dave's solo are still low in the mix.

And I've created a couple of cover images:

When you go to Mega, ignore the thing about Megasync and just select the option to download through your browser and you'll have no problems.I don't think the link on that site is very safe... It made me download MEGAsync, which does nothing and just gained access to my documents.
That's what I thought! Oh well. It'll never see the stage anyway.If the is such preciousness towards Adrian's solo why not show a little love and give it Janick?
That was the first thing I tried, it made me install it anyways.When you go to Mega, just select the option to download through your browser and you'll have no problems.
That's strange. If anyone wants, I can re-upload it to zippyshare like I did with the Tokyo shows.That was the first thing I tried, it made me install it anyways.
That'd would be great Travis!That's strange. If anyone wants, I can re-upload it to zippyshare like I did with the Tokyo shows.

I heard it and said so on page 235, unattentive morons.Because apparently nobody that has seen them on this tour either heard this or thought to mention it...
