Ace boy you use voice alter. So your vocal sound is fake

Who cares kiss retired

Ace is a LOzER

Paul and Gene have always been about the money

I'm on Aces side he's been sober for years now and his record output in the last few years out does Kiss

All these washed up ''solo'' artists from the 80's are terrible. Can't sing anymore and are just trying to keep their once popular name going. These type of particular ''artists'' need to give it up because they're terrible as it is and they're the ones who f**ked up their careers by being useless a**holes to begin with. Ace, Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil, Blackie Lawless, on and on. Embarrassing.

Hard to believe? Really now?

dude give the VH drama a rest

Every one enjoy retirement and present yourself accordingly.

I mean, Shade 45 could had been hilarious but they took sampling that seriously. Namastè.

Whose side are you on in the Eminem vs. Machine Gun Kelly feud, and why?

This guy did what Paul Prenter did to Queen and Freddie Mercury. It was an attempted power grab plain and simple to improve his position and eventual financial situation.. He saw Eddie as a vehicle. to manipulate and gain power through eventual trust. Mike wasn’t as influential and he wouldn’t dare try with Alex. Drive the wedge between Sammy and Eddie and gain the latter trust and you can manipulate things to your advantage down the line. And of course, make more money potentially. We have a nickname for people like that in Jersey City; scumbags.

More like expose themselves as douche bags lol

I’d bet millions more people know about Motley Crue that don’t know who Papa Roach is. Sounds like dude was jealous and didn’t listen to someone that owned something he didn’t.

WOW, breaking news!

The whole story as I see it from what I know and can put together from interviews and inuendo and being a fan. Money was never and issue with VH. Money split four ways when Dave was in the band. Sammy wrote lyrics so Leffler had the songs under copy write and Eddie and Sammy as the wrote all the music and lyrics. How the money was split on tour I don't know. Daniels working with Rush where its and equal partnership and knowing the deal with the old VH doesn't like this new deal. Eddie feels it's not right that Alex is cut out or Alex doesn't like it and there you go. I think Sammy gave up all VH copyright in return for the Cabo Wabo logo and rights. Whatever really happened both bands were great. Sammy made VH a 100 times better. Dave broke Vai and Sheehan and both those guys went on to make more music and promote the arts in ways that I think they can be proud of. VH with Hagar had hit after hit after hit and I loved it all. People fight and fall out of love but these guys did it in public. I'll remember the music and the good times and memories they gave me. Life is too short.

trust fund kid Wolfie should just live privately somewhere. he hasn't contributed in elevating his dad's guitar legacy.

Def Leppard still touring and bringing in the house DECADES later and Testament? oh OK there Billy

Fuck backing tracks fuck metronome fuck fake Orchestra fuck fake choruses... This is not rock and roll

The only backing track Van Halen used was the keyboard parts to Jump because the composition of the song makes it impossible for Ed to play that and the guitar parts at the same time. He used to just play everything on the keyboard live, but in their later years he used a backing track for the keyboard parts. Not really scandalous.

Mötley Crüe

Shinedown definitely use backing tracks. I’ve seen them live a few times and it’s obvious.

Is Zach Myers from Shinedown he needs to listen to more music that we grew up to

I'm 50 years old I respect my elders Ozzy Osbourne is my favorite he doesn't need any backing, and anyways the guy from Shinedown is not the original guitarist so he should shut up

Why doesn't he get mad at fat talentless people who have big opinions.

Maybe he should worry about looking more like a rock star instead of someone that should be riding a handicap cart at Wal-Mart

You said Van Halen , they had Micheal Mc Donald from the Doobie Brothers playing off stage from 2007 - 2015.

So what if he's fat! His music sucks, that's what's important.

Tons of bands use backing tracks. For me, having keys, synth stuff or strings as backing tracks isn’t a huge deal, but having guitar and simple backing vocal tracks is kinda messed up. Saw disturbed earlier this year, couldn’t believe how much backing vocals and guitars were piped it. David was the only one with a mic. Still enjoyable, but very obvious.

So.... Brent Smith is really singing the chorus of Diamond Eyes.....? He's miming. He's done it to the chorus of I dare you also.

Bruh it sounds like your reading this against your will

What a joke!! Shinedown are the worst offenders. What a liar! What a liar! What a liar! Talk to Sparky, he was a Zach's guitar tech and he'll tell you the entire show is fake.

Who gives af, as long as the people in attendance are having a good time and feel they got what they’re paying for. Meyers is a little opinionated bitch to begin with

The way Def Leppard and Kiss use them is fine. Calling out those bands, is kinda BS, especially from Shinedown.

The Sweet did it in the. 70s on the song Action

It’s really not that big of a deal. As long as everyone in the band is playing their parts of the song live on stage. What gets played on the backing tracks would never be the main parts of the song. It’s usually just parts that were added while recording the song in the studio. Synth parts, keyboards parts, samples or whatever the case may be. And I will tell you this. If your band is good, and can play live. You will still sound like a decent good band without any tracks. However, you will not sound as good or “professional” when your band doesn’t use them, but every band you tour with does. Your stage sound will be thinner, or weaker and not as full. So most music fans would never be able to tell you why they believe the backtrack bands sound better. They will just think they are better musicians or better bands. But if someone is using tracks and miming the entire lead vocal. Then yeah that obviously sucks. But that is extremely rare. I’ve toured and I’ve toured with a ton of different bands. I’ve never suspected any of them of faking the vocals. Except for one time at a festival Brett Michaels solo band played. I don’t think he sang anything that night.

Does anyone understand how live music works? Are you surprised? It has been going on for decades... They use it for fill ins. Kiss uses vocal tracks to help Paul Stanley with his voice. Who cares! They put on a great show regardless! If any of you arm chair warriors are around after 40 years of touring, you will also use any technology that's going to help your live show and make your job a little easier! You think it's easy...? As for Kiss you're trying to tell me the rest of the band is just faking it? Come on, get real! You've probably never picked up an instrument in your life and have no clue how any of it works! Stop complaining and enjoy the music while it lasts or then again... Stay home and stop complaining! 🎸✌👊🏻

Great for single players' Not for a band IMO......

I had to go to creative writing classes to write anything. I did that for several years and I mean that shit was hard. I don't think a movie title out of a TV guide is enough to write a whole lot of material. 😊

Vince is a prick! Been a straight up douchebag for Motleys entire career!!

Shine down definitely uses tracks just like most bands . Just admit it and move on! No body really cares anymore that’s why musicians are now “preformers” . You no longer hear that the band is going to “play” a song, now it’s they will preform the song.., big difference!

Motley Crue was my biggest influence (nobody ever said) 😂😂😂

The first time I ever noticed backing tracks was at a Queen Concert. I understood but bummed me out. I feel and felt like they should have let the songs be less than the studio version. Totally would have understood and I think most people would. Don't record stuff you can't do live without more people or tracks. If I want a live show not a perfect show.

CHRIST, AI is going to be the death of me, I swear.

I feel like backing tracks can enhance a performance. I've seen way too many horrible live shows and can appreciate a band wanting to put on a quality stage show. I think the perfect example of that is Rush. Perfect use of tracks and live instrumentation.

They should play what they can. That's what the live show is all about. Raw and gritty.

Kiss without Ace just sucks 😂

Eddie ended Van Halen. Eddie couldn’t handle the fact Roth was more recognizable than him.

Interesting considering how wonderful Ray Daniels worked with Rush.
