wow.. they look so thrilled... lol
I'm not sure it's possible to find much worse than that!
Well, the worst I can think of is this:

But that's too easy...how bout this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9-JdubfUCw
Not that it's necessarily BAD lip synching, but it's obvious.
I was just thinking of that Who vid , Keith moon looks ridiculous lol, like he is a wizard casting a spell lol, regardless though.... :party:
Yeah on second thought the Who one is pretty bad! Especially that they don't start 'playing' until a couple of bars in.
Here's another good one:
Zep
There's actually a lot of cool stuff on the Zeppelin site.
Here's one more. You could say this "falls" in the same category as the Simpson video.

lol!
WOW! I realize it's all part of the game. But man, it's seems so ridiculous!! For big name bands to stoop to that sort of crap.
I know this may be material for another thread, but Pete Townsend.
I know he is a stellar musician but he always has to smash stuff up.
I got no respect for him on that account.
But I digress, sorry. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
It IS funny however, to see those pop stars blow it!
We're on Asian TVQuote:

Haven't had a chance to see the clip yet, but if it's Asian TeeVee, maybe it's their tribute to Kung Fu movies.Quote:

Too bad the other camera guy is all over him as he runs back up the steps, lol.
Not lip synching, but interesting nonetheless: (especially for Kap'n, I know you're a big Nickleback fan)

Kind of messed up, but they handled it OK I think. What else do you do in that situation?
Funny. It's actually not lip synching at all. Pre-recorded backing track with live vocal. That's how a lot of shows did it back then.Quote:

To do anything else would be stupid. What kind of dumbass would stand around and let rocks be thrown at them?Quote:

Maybe they were opening for Andy Williams.
I always noticed his vocals seemed pretty realistic, like when he doesn't sing directly into the mic, the volume drops, etc. but everyone else is obviously miming. It never occured to me that some were miming, some weren't.Quote:

A classic example of pre-recorded background track with live vocal

I'm intrigued by Casady's plush capo.
Man I love that rich sounding reverb everyone used back then. Is that a plate reverb I wonder...
Hey, I just realized Pink Floyd ripped off their entire catalog from that video! :couch:
I'm speechless.............

Capitol Records had legendary vaults under the building they used as reverb chambers. I don't know what RCA (Airplane's label) used.Quote:

Ha! I remember when this came out.Quote:
It looks like somebody Linda-McCartneyed Britney Spears on this one.
When you realize it's all about the dancing for Britney, and her crowd was always mainly ~10-15 years old it makes it a little more acceptable in a way. For them just to see her in person is worth the ticket price.
I think it kinda would have been the same for me, I always watched her on mute back in the day anyway.
Interesting story about that Who video. The bass drum was supposed to explode at the end but Keith Moon wanted a bigger explosion so he kept bribing the special effects guy with booze all day to put in bigger charges. When it went off at the end Townshend wasn't ready for it and had his head directly in front of the explosion. Pete reasoned that that event was what caused a lot of his hearing loss.
Nice moment there- Kris Kristofferson was one of the presenters of Milli's Grammy.
Even if those guys did sing... hell, if they wrote, produced and played every instrument, and braided their own hair, it goes to show what a Grammy represents, or not, qualitatively about popular music.
Yeah, it almost seems like nit-picking to point out that Britney's not really singing in her live show. How high are our expectations of this girl, really? :laughing:Quote:

Good point. That's show business for you, man. Level of ability doesn't = pay or public interest.
I guess the draw for Britney is not the promise of a convincing performance, so why would she bother, right?
Heck, look at Paris Hilton. She did NOTHING, and people actually paid attention to her. I think some even paid her just to show up at parties.
MTV and the big budget music video (Madonna, Janet Jackson...) have altered the meaning of "singer" and had an effect on what passes for a concert or live theatre.Quote:

Proof that Van Halen's downfall began before DLR left.
Might as well suck
Go ahead and suck
:laughing: at Marty McFly singing Cookie Monster-style. Has any death metal group ever really embraced the Muppet-ness of that vocal style and done a cover of "C Is for Cookie"? That would be awesome.
(Have I asked that before? :D)
