Re: AC/DC live in Gelsenkirchen right now

Let's call it what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He6vCvl4lTM Drummer is not on beat at all. Rushing the tempo. Brian, well....... One of the things thats a hard pass for me is the "huddling" around the riser for 2 minutes between every song..... Some things are better when they end.

Re: AC/DC live in Gelsenkirchen right now

Clearly, I'm not in AC/DC but its odd that on that huge of a stage everyone's hanging out on the riser - ex Brian. Seriously wondering if the drummer had a panic attack before going on. The guitars do sound MUCH better than the desert gig last fall which was a total trainwreck. Brian, does not sound...

Re: The forgotten 1988 Led Zeppelin reunion show

True - No band at their age could have done the O2 show.

The sheer insanity of the pressure would have crushed 95% of the bands and they would have never maddest out of the rehearsal room.

New Ace record - Is it really him........?????

So, I finally heard the record today. Production is good (maybe a little too good!). Years ago (about 15) I worked on a project Ace was involved in. Probably the laziest "star" Ive ever encountered in terms of actively touring musicians. Clearly, Ace wrote none of the new record, but I do ...

Re: How much do touring musicians actually get paid?

Varies widely..... Assuming you mean "non-key" ie, "hired gun" Some guys on large tours are barely paid and took the gig for exposure/etc. Some club bands pay well if they want to keep the lineup tight. $300-750 on clubs/theatre - again Wide variation Heard a rumor about a singer...
