I think it's been a reasonable discussion on here, it's an interesting topic to throw theories around. Social Media is the usual shitstorm, with a split of people slating the band decrying the end of days or people crawling up Matt's arse to state that BJ are beyond using any trickery. No middle ground as ever.
Personally, I believe Matt and actually used the lighting in my first post on this, mainly because the light flash on the drumbeat caught my eye in the vid which led my brain to question it.
They clearly weren't lip syncing, just what they were performing wasn't coming out the PA. At first I thought Jon had noticed and gone back to the mic to cover, but he hadn't he was singing something else. The solos give it away - they are all business as usual.
It does beg the question why they don't have anyone who can hear what the audience hears? Surely that's the mixing desk? It should not have been on for as long as it was, it was playing a studio version, just turn it off!
Only other thought - do they have any adverts plugging the album before the show? Would that be the THINFS audio? That's probably a clip rather than the full song though I guess.
But it's definitely a good topic as to why they had this- but as has been stated, we know it was a simple technical glitch and the audio simply played over the band, but it definitely does give a talking point.
