I have tickets to see him there again in September. My 9 year old daughter will be with me this time, she has been manipulating guitar since she was 6.

There’s a lot of processing with some of these setups. A long time ago, Zakk jumped off stage at an Ozzy concert, ran barefoot to the arena cheap seats where I was, and from 15 feet away under a spotlight, I couldn’t match his hands to the sound coming out of the PA at all. It was unreal delay. Like almost a second. Or maybe just that long to get through all of the effects.

That's not "delay" (as in: an effect, plugged in - or whatever), that is the natural delay/time-lag, from: how much longer it takes sound from the P.A. to reach YOUR ears (at the far end ...or anywhere further away, of an arena ...stadium ...even theatres). I am sure many fans never pay attention to this, however: sound takes time to travel. If you are further away from the stage, it takes milliseconds to seconds longer to reach your ear-holes than it would where it NEEDS to be immediate!: Where the band is playing (so that they can respond to one-another and "be on the same page," constantly.). Yes, OBVIOUSLY, artists use: "in-line," added, digital (and maybe, even, analog) delays and other "time-based," sound alterations (flanging, phasing, "chorus"), however: in essence, these are all modifications of: what happens to sound as it travels through a large space. "Delay" is considered: discrete (and can create "loops" & other repeating oscillations), but all it is, really, is: a modifiable, controllable version of: reverberation [more commonly referred to by it's truncated form: "reverb"]. ...The further you are from a sound source, particularly, in an enclosed space (but: effectively: ANYwhere), the more delay a listener will notice between: actions they can visually see & which they know are acting to CREATE the sound and: aurally encountering that (expected) sound. Why do you think that (for decades now, at least!): in vast stadium shows, you see: more than one set of P.A. speakers?? There are often more sets of mix speakers, sending sound to the areas further away from the stage, to make the concertgoing experience "more immediate" for the fans in "the cheap seats." ...and so people won't get fooled by their own ears vs. eyes (esp., nowadays, with massive broadcast screens -so, if you're NOT down on the floor 🤦🤦🤷 ...you, basically, paid $170 to watch TV in a stadium! ) and, incorrectly, think that "they're being cheated"🙄🤦 ...if you're in the back of the stadium (even with "no-one" else, there, yet!), the sound will take longer to reach you, by a noticeable amount of time!! (It's also why: the F.O.H. board is at the location it is - that is, generally, at a point before where the first noticable delay begins to happen (from the stage to the body of the venue)!!) SOUND in vast space?? = delay. Just understand that.

By Modern, you mean after 1990?

If john5 uses any backing tracks .. (rhythm guitar during solos for instance) it certainly isn't about talent. He is more than capable, so whatever he's using it isn't to avoid playing.

I've seen John 5 a few times up close. He doesn't need both hands to play.

There's a difference between using backing tracks to enhance the sound and using them because you forgot how to play some songs and you don't feel like learning them or because you want to jump around and focus on other things but your instrument. On the records, when there's a guitar solo, the rhythm guitar keeps playing. When they played live, before using backing tracks, when Mick played a solo, you only heard the bass guitar underneath his solo, which left like a "hole" in the overall sound. To avoid that, you either need a 2nd guitar player or you use backing tracks. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with using backing tracks in this case. What I don't like is what Nikki seems to be doing. Don't get me wrong, I used to have posters of Nikki Sixx in my bedroom, I bought 2 of his books, etc... but there are videos where you can see him stop playing for a second but you can clearly still hear the bass. In this case, it's not to enhance the sound but it's Nikki who doesn't want the responsibility of playing the bass correctly, not willing to make possible mistakes or he just wants to be on stage and ....be present.

John is one of my favorite modern guitarists. He's a heck of a nice guy, too. I feel like he would just admit it if he was using a backing track.

Motley Crue songs is like him playing in beginner or amateur mode in a video game.

John has said it’s a hammer on chord…

when i was running live sound, it seemed like the bigger the band, the more likely they were to use backing tracks. some local bands were almost 80% backing tracks and most of the work was in getting good in ear mixes so they could play along in time or at least pretend to. crue have had this said about em enough and NDA's are pretty hardcore in that realm that i wouldnt be surprised at all if he had no choice and it got handed down from management.

Your wordplay with the double negatives is brilliant.

I agree with all of this. I use hammer on chords and pull offs quite a bit. And I don't think the person who is calling B.S. is taking into account the sheer volume that John 5 is playing at.

Hey Justin... When people come up to you and say 'Hey Justin I saw the Darkness at the (e.g.) Cambridge Corn Exchange in 2006', do you find yourself trying to flash back to that gig? Even if only to make sure you were there? Or do you just pass over that info in your reply (if any)?

The point is.. to get that huge fat stadium sound, to mimic studio overdubs they play along to backing tracks. Yet Nobody complains about studio overdubs do they…They’re Not miming (which would be worse) so I appreciate their attempt to give us that full same sound live

Yep probably hearing the attack from the drums and bass on top of the hammer on.

Hands don’t lie. Why the strain in judging? Not a pedal. What? Echo? Pre- recorded. End stop.

Idk about the rest of the band but i know damn well j5 isn't using a backing track.

Vince Neil definitely sings whilst he'd hammered on

Hey Justin, If there are no backing tracks involved, then who is playing the rhythm guitar while John 5 is soloing? While I think that John 5's explanation is possible (as I am a guitarist myself), I do agree with the comment that there is a difference in tine between a strummed chord (in this case meaning the multiple simultaneous notes being strummed) and a chord hammer-on (multiple simultaneous note being fretted by hammer on). There is so much gain on this sound that it does make it a little hard to distinguish as I know with heavy gain (like here), what he is saying is possible, you just have to be super precise in hitting the exact strings of the chord you are playing, or you will get unwanted string noise. However, when he is soloing there is an obvious rhythm guitar part being heard too, and it is NOT being played by John 5 at that moment. So, it is most likely a backing track, or possible another guitarists off stage playing those rhythm parts (unlikely, especially with Motley Crue's history). To not acknowledge this just really makes him look bad, if not like a LIAR (as Henry Rollins would say). It does matter and I will tell you why. Because to call yourself a live show and sell tickets with that advertising/marketing, and there has been decades of precedent of rock musicians performing live in front of you that have reinforced the understanding/meaning of a 'live performance', then to not do so as that (using backing tracks in place of actual live performances) would be FRAUD by definition. That would be ground for legal action, and I think that should happen under those instances. Now, I will say that when I spend money for a 'live performance' and I think this is a reasonable expectation, that the musicians on stage who are billed as the 'live performance' all need to be the one performing live without any of there instrument parts being replaced by a backing track. If there is a song a musician i'performing live', and that song has a complete orchestral section, I think it is ok to have a backing track of the orchestral section, as long as, the musicians on stage are all playing their parts on their instruments live. I understand that having an orchestra on tour just to play a 30 seconds section of a song is costly. It would be cooler if that were actually the case, but I get that under those circumstances, those parts could be on backing tracks to reduce logistics and expenses. To sum up, I think just as long as the musicians on stage billed as the 'live performance' are all playing their parts on their instruments, 'live' during that performance, then it is ok for anything they are not playing to be supplemented on a backing track. What I think is really ironic, is that all these supposed real rock musicians have diluted themselves because there was a time when real rock musicians called others out as POSERS for not taking their playing and craft seriously, and just presenting themselves as rock musicians for all the fame and finances they waned to get. Cheers, Tim

John 5 is brilliant. If you want to question his playing go see him at one of his club shows. He can play anything, absolutlely anything. Motley has used backing tracks and vocal tracks for years. They are a band you go see for the full stage show, you don't go tohear Vince sing, that is for sure. I think you called it correctly Mr. Hawkins!

Let's just be honest, John 5 can do things no one else can do. So, if anyone could do it, it's him.

Iron Maiden have quite a lot of keyboards on their newer records. But they are played offstage by Steve Harris's bass tech. They also use pre-recorded lead ins for some songs e.g. over Churchill at the start of Aces High

We like a tousled Mr H languishing on soft furnishings 😋

Attacking strings with the fretting hand (instead of plectrum) is not radically new. Buckethead does it all the time when he plays with his lefthand while tapping the kill-switch button with his right. I'm sure what John 5 is claiming is well within his ability.

When I say I was on the side of the stage, I mean on the stage next to the monitor mixer on John’s side. So if he was going to use tracks, that’s the band he would have fully took advantage of the technology. I was in the band Adema that from day one had track enhancements with the early use on “Radar” and now just a laptop with pro-tools. So I know the difference.

Went to see Crue open for Kiss maybe 10-12 years ago and it was the last time I saw either of them. The show was decent but you could tell things were on the decline performance-wise as well as overall enthusiasm for the craft. RIP CRUE AND KISS!

I completed Crue Ball on the Mega Drive. Fun little fact there. Even the developer was impressed when I told him

that game was awesome I got when it launched ...

I don't see the big deal if the band is using a rhythm or support track. The biggest solo pop stars in the world perform to tracks. Why? Because it cuts costs and allows them to focus on the dramatics of their stage performance or the experience of their show. That is one of the core differences between bands and pop stars because bands actually play the elements of their music live. Whether or not a band employs support tracks is really just a matter of what kind of show they want to put on.

If a section in the song requires a strong rhythm guitar presence whilst the lead is playing it's part, many listeners or those in the audience would have no understanding and think "something was wrong" if that part went missing live. The bass cannot always fill in. The sound would be completely different and off-putting. Imagine acdc without a rhythm guitar during Angus's solo sections. Why not have a hired gun off to the side filling in? Because part of some acts are partly about the look. A stranger off to the side in some cases would also leave people wondering. And if they couldn't see them but hear them,...they'd still make noise about backing tracks. Such are the times we live where everyone is a keyboard critic. Even me, lol.

Have you listen the last Deep Purple song "Pictures of you"? It has interesting things... you know they're not now the savage boys and they now make interesting harmonies and textures.

Duff Mckagan look going on here 🤘🏻 Also, come on Rock, Paper, Swords so we can talk about the historical aspects of your lyrics in songs like Barbarian and Black Shuck!

Of course it matters. We all know the likes of Taylor Swift et al lip sync live, and it's more about the dancing, the staging etc but, if you go and see a rock band, I think you should expect them to be playing live. I'm getting a bit sick of Def Leppard claiming ALL their vocals are sung live. It's pretty obvious they're not. Don't get me wrong, I love DL, but just be honest about it. Justin is trying very hard to defend J5 here. The video quality isn't great, but it does look like he's playing to a track.

Im sorry , Justin You shit the bed with this one. As a FORMER Crue fan that went to many many concerts since my first in 1989, they used to be a LIVE band. They used to be a great band. I know I was In the front row at many Concerts, Even on stage once! But the changed in the 2000's Vince lost his voice. I stopped going when the band I loved, stopped caring how they played and sounded. Boos were Common. The next day at work, instead of talking about the greatest show ever, You talked about feeling let down, ripped off. Nikki claiming Sobriety yet wasted on stage. Think 1996? incident with fighting guard, inciting riot. Vince heart was not in the shows, He looked like a forced slave. THe show got more and more, video and pyro heavy more talk heavy, less songs. Vince would say, Ok here's a old one, with disgust. They were only happy when they were singing new stuff. But the new stuff sucked. Vince left, Tommy Left and came back. Those years did damage, from mid 90's the band became a parody of itself. A tribute band to what they once were. Felt like, I know you love us, lets see if you will pay for another new house and car. I was in Davenport Iowa when they were playing to 2000 people in the early 2000's, they were done. Fans wanted the great huge spectacle of Dr feelgood, but every time you went with hopes high, you returned wallet lighter and disappointed. That's when Nikki went to writing books, Vince to his side band. It wasn't till some PR guy figured out to do Carnival of Sins, but if you watch closely even the vocals were shit on it. VInce did a face lift for it, they got in shape. the last hurrah. A band that turned into a full backing track tribute band. They called it quits, NO ONE WANTED TO BE IN THE BAND. They couldn't make money and it was work. They took the last bit of money. Tommy was on TV going back to school and Making the next great band, Sixx was forming side bands yearly, Tommy was DJ ing. Vince was selling Tequila and buying football teams. Then came PR with the movie, and DO YOU REALLY THINK WE CAN SQUEEZE THE FANS ONE MORE TIME> we are about out of cash. These kids today never saw rock in their Politically correct world. So the 60 year old men, who have long left their wild days of youth of drugs, and sex, and stupidity, went back out to fake being those guys. TO SELL ATTITUDE, TO THE YOUTH OF AMERICA. but the Real fans that aged with them, know its, fake as fuck. Its like a person saying, I wanna try Cocaine, and you give them a REDBULL. Then say do you feel that? Thats it! Your living the Rock life now! Even better analogy, it like taking someone now to a strip club have a stripper dance in front of you and saying that what its like to have sex. The only person getting Fucked is you mentally, and the Stripper takes the cash with a wink and smile. That My friend is Motley Crue. Hence with John 5 the weird kid in the the back of the class taking Micks Spot. Mick still a Rock Star, the Rest? PR Department Presents "MOLDY WHO"

I think there last great year live was 2008 down hill from there

They are doing well just to be alive and touring at all. When saw them last year Vince Neill was very unfit and really struggled to keep pace with the faster verses, but he can't be expected to hit the notes he could 30 years ago in the best circumstances. The band still put on a fantastic show and if they need a little help reaching the same levels people expect all these decades later then there is nothing wrong with that. Didn't see anything to suggest they were faking it. Maybe Neill could get himself a fitness coach though, I think that might have solved much of the problem.

I think they have slowed down the BPM which is helping Vince a lot

Love the gain and sustain like Dan when he hits those strings

John Five is probably the most talented member of M/C He is a very top tier player

He's the best drummer, bassist and vocalist in the band.

Justin you have done it again 👏🏼 flipping genius!

I have no doubt they use tracks. Couple of songs have synths and the show I went to last year there was no keyboard player on stage. Pure theatre. I had a great night and if the Crue come back to Sydney then I will go see them again. I know John 5 is doing a solo tour of North America this year.. If that tour makes it to Sydney eventually then I will go see that too.

The rhythm guitar track keeps playing when John5 plays a solo.

It does that on the record too. Do you complain about that? Again, he has a base rhythm track going and he is on top of it and doing the solos. He is also doing the hammer on and pull offs in that videos as he is walking away.

@@ChazinFl1 Oh bullsh1t mate, MOST bands these days have some sort of backing track, as I said further up in the comments, Sabbath had backing tracks in the 70's, Judas priest did in the 70's 80's, 90's 00's NOW, so did Dio and a pile of others, I could fill this page with a list. It has NOTHING to do with what John's playing at all. If you lot, that don't have a clue about how music is made, saw how albums are made, you're little brains would explode....

@@MickH60 um they had How many other bands on the bill? It's called filler. Motley is filler for the real acts

Do you think they do the old socal punk grunge gimmick where there is another guitarist behind Oz curtain? I remember seeing green day and other pop punk bands and some grunge bands on shows like the tonight show or late night with Conan or SNL and sometimes from certain B cameras you’d catch a glimpse of these backing players behind a curtain off the stage front. It’s a weird practice to be honest, I never understood what the big deal ever would have been to have a live sell sword or guitar mercenary so to speak play with you live… like who cares.

Sooo let me get this straight, some are saying that aging humans may need some backups of some sort in some things in life to keep at being what one once was? Future me, No that was not a nurse that had to wipe my booty hole.

John is an amazing guitar player and such a nice dude. I was able to meet him at one of his Creatures shows. I truly wish he wouldn't have joined Crue. Now he has to defend himself constantly. But, I suppose he got the bag for this gig and defending himself constantly is worth it?

This has been debunked by numerous channels. Hammer-on chords. Yes, he is playing.

He strikes it on the second down and third up. Misses the first strike. But i guarantee it was still resonating from before.

I mean he recreated the wild side scenario so i believe he wasnt using tracks.

What??? No action figure yet. There was a Karate chop action figure in the past. Maybe you can have an action figure the chops with a guitar. Something like El Kabong from the "Quick Draw McGraw" cartoon.

John 5 unfortunately has no say in the overall decisions of what happens on stage. He's along for the ride and if there is a backing track playing behind his own real playing, he must do his best to be a good soldier.
