Ok, whatever, let's accept that. They are not his songs, so well, fuck them. now he struggles with feldman songs, same thing. i'm 100 positive that skiba didn't record that riff. same goes for brohemian rapsody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Search bar, "backing track" in quotes. It's very simple to do and there's a lot of material there. Be sure to sort by date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this video where one idiot seemed to think he was using a backing tracking but he clearly isn't - so it might be that? if this isn't the right video then I'll wait for Ghent to link everyone to the post he found with the right one in.

Ghent Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Pretty hilarious how many pages worth of meltdowns over backing tracks there have been here over the years. Half are wild conspiracy theories, half are irrelevant incidents like Matt's in the current meltdown. If it isn't a disingenuous distraction and makes them sound better live, who cares?

Ghost Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 The more evident use of backing tracks was when they did the Untitled anniversary shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 When I go home tonight I will learn that Parking Lot riff and time myself, I bet no more than 15 mins tops. Matt is a joke. Backing tracks are fine like Dan said, but having a BACKING track play main riffs. I am starting to wonder if his guitar is even plugged in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A main guitar riff is not a backing track. That's the problem here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't 'disingenuous'? What apart from the fact he pretends to play the riff but doesn't? I'd say that's pretty disingenuous... If he can't play it then he should just not play that bit of play some rythm/let some chords ring over the top of it or something - at least then he'd be owning how shit he is on guitar rather than pretending he can play stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I mean, Alkaline Trio used a second guitar player back during Crimson era to play some arrangements live. Matt didn't use backing tracks even there. 6:31 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Matt probably can't even get through guitar hero on easy. Never seen a worse fucking guitarist. Tom using backing ttracks is lame. Now imagine being paid millions to cover songs, and still needing backing tracks and a teleprompter.

I can't remember if it was guitar backing or just synths, but they relied on backing tracks for the self-titled reunion (Blizzcon performance). I think it was near the end of the Tom era that they used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of sad he can't play it, but it still falls very close to zero on my give a fuck scale. omgzzzz how will i sleep tonight knowing Matt used a backing track on a little riff the second time through a song live? If I can get through blink playing the entire Untitled album live with the album playing in the background I think I can manage this #crisis.

I think it was near the end of the Tom era that they used them. I have no real issue with synths to be honest, they add depth to the sound of the performance. I'd have to hear the backing guitar and judge first hand, if it's rythm and lead is played over the top then it's a bit shit but not horrific. The Skiba video is a backing track with him pretending to play the riff - it's not like it's in a part where there are two guitar parts to hide behind really, it's just there purely because he can't play it. Might be time to get a backing for WMAA intro and the Carousel interlude too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
