hahninator Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 Now any update who is playing in place of phoenix ? I bet a guitar tech will play for him like at this show: http://lplive.net/shows/20071016.php Quote
linkin_boss Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 i'm wondering if a guitar tech will know every single song that they're playing... in a funnier fact... what a shame, they dropped empty spaces, i guess everybody missed those unforgetable 18 seconds Quote
JanekZech Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 They dropped Empty Spaces because they didn't have enough time? Seriously? Quote
sckofelng Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) They dropped Empty Spaces because they didn't have enough time? Seriously? i thought exactly the same when i read it. EDIT: Blackout has been dropped due to time! otherwise same as Taipei. Source : LPTimes Edited September 23, 2011 by sckofelng Quote
linkin_boss Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 i thought exactly the same when i read it. haven't you heard the quote that says "life changes in matter of seconds" xDDD? Quote
BeardyWilderness Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Empty Spaces wasn't played?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! My bets are the bass is played off backing track. Quote
linkin_boss Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I guess i can understand why they dropped blackout, probably they didn't had a backing track for the midi panel that phoenix plays. but... why empty spaces! why!!!! Quote
Spin Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 My bets are the bass is played off backing track.My guess is that his bass tech played instead. Quote
JanekZech Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I guess i can understand why they dropped blackout, probably they didn't had a backing track for the midi panel that phoenix plays. I guess they have the multitracks of all the tracks they play available when they're on tour. Maybe they had the problem that they couldn't replace Phoenix vocal part on Blackout. Quote
chesterb Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I think either a guitar or bass tech played Phoenix' parts. Usually it is not their first tour with LP, and after seeing/listnening to several shows, and you are used to playing the instruments, the songs will just stick with you. Quote
annare Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Dave must be very sick to not be able to play. Glad they are playing even though he is sick and the storm Quote
Astat Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 1. I doubt Empty Spaces was actually dropped. Whoever reported the setlist probably just got confused by Brad's megaphone blaring over it. 2. I can almost guarantee that Phoenix's bass parts were punched in from multitrack files of another performance. This is something that the band didn't have the ability to do (or at least something they hadn't thought of) on the Minutes to Midnight touring cycle, which is why Kurt played Chester's guitar part on Shadow of the Day at that one Australian show. Up until this point, they've only had to use the punch-ins during rehearsals, but I figured they'd probably do something like this if a member other than Mike/Chester/possibly Joe had to miss a show. 3. Blackout being dropped probably has something to do with Phoenix using the Z-Tar on that song, and Fallout probably just had technical issues with Mike's vocoder like it has several times in the past.

Spin Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 - Requiem/Papercut Looks like a tech is playing at the far right of the stage. Quote
Astat Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 - Requiem/Papercut Looks like a tech is playing at the far right of the stage. Yeah, looks like it. Huh. I figured there was no way one of their techs would be familiar enough with the songs to be able to play a full show. Quote
hahninator Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 Wow, shoutout to whoever knows all the LP songs well enough to play the show. I wonder if they made an announcement about it during the show. Another look at him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLFJp12keVs Quote
sublimeric Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I wish no ill will on any of the band members, but if there's a disposable, nameless/faceless/useless member, it's definitely Phoenix. Besides "Given Up", he's pretty non-existent, at least off the top of my head. Quote
GraDoN Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 i'm not that familiar with the LP setup and input from the members but i'm pretty sure that dave, rob and brad are all easily replaceable. I might be talking out of my ass though, just the way it looks to me. Quote

Logically speaking, every member of any band is replacable (e.g. FF & GnR) but why even go there Next people will be saying Dave is not sick but he's leaving the band Quote
GraDoN Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 dave is not sick and he probably is leaving the band Quote
Braininator Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 dave is not sick and he probably is leaving the bandDave has left the band and everyone else is sick. Quote
BeardyWilderness Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I think they didn't play Empty Spaces because the roadie didn't know how to play it on bass. Quote
