I don't understand why everyone here is making a big issue over this. Obviously something went wrong, a technical issue, it happens, its life. Things are going to happen that you can't control, Jon and the band tried to resolve it on the spot but at times it don't work, so you start over. It may look bad to some people here, and of course, using the whole Jon has no voice thing well, by now its a given here, can't change some opinions, oh well. To the audience didn't seem to either mind or not notice, and if they did, they didn't seem bothered by it, at least that is how I saw it.

The whole song sounds like the studio track. I don't get it. Maybe this was the first time they were trying it out? Even the first half of the song when there were no issues, Jon's voice sounds very much like the album track.

I'm ok with Jon using a backing track to boost his voice, but you do run the risk of things like this happening.

Backing tracks are the least rock n roll thing ever.

If Jon is relying on a backing track for a song as easy to sing as this, they need to quit.

This is a discussion board. We discuss. We find cool things and talk about them. Obviously it's a technical issue and obviously things happen but it's okay to talk about why.

Yes, this is a big thing. Jon is using a back track for a song that is sung with his lower register (he doesn't sing the chorus).

The thing is, if you take a look at my last posts, you will see that I said nice things about the last performances, for example the energy that Jon put on that Bad Medicine performance. On the other hand, you want to defend the band when there is no sense in doing so. For a lead singer to have his back track go off when he wasn't expecting to, and to use it on a song that requires very little effort to sing is NOT something that happens everyday and YES, it is something worrying and embarrassing. Since this is a discussion board, you're completely entitled to defend the band whenever you want, however, it's been sounding very childish.

This. Roger Waters last tour (The Wall) was something out of this planet production and music-wise, but the fact that he lip synchs 70% of his vocals took a lot from the experience for me.

During the 2011 songs, Jon used to include some rants during a part of The More Things Change, and a lot of them was about the fact that he sings 100% live.

Totally agree...I kept thinking the user edited the video with album version for clarity.

Are you seriously taking the piss now? It's okay to be critical you know! Sometimes it's needed...

In all seriousness, that's an absolute joke. I'm genuinely baffled as to what the hell happened.

Why is he using a backing track on a song as easy as THINFS? He doesn't even sing half of it...

It's embarrassing to watch and what's more annoying is that the night before was the first time I've thought we've got a bit of the old JBJ back. Now it may as well be Britney Spears up there with that lip syncing...

'No this boy don't lip sync...'

I wonder if they played Last Man Standing, if they'd lip sync that line :D

That's definitely the studio version of the song we're hearing in that clip.

Does anyone else feel kinda sick about this? I thought Jon was the type of guy who would never lip sync and I totally respect that, but now I feel worried that half of the improvements we've been seeing have been faked.
