open this can of worms... Reply to this message

I've heard rumors that Perry "plays" in concert with backing tapes because he can't play like he used to. I did go to see them in Indianapolis the other night and it appeared on some songs that he was using a wireless amp...but on other songs I couldn't see the antenna. I don't know if there's any truth to that or not.

I do know that Whitford uses a traditional plug in, because it has a better sound.

Here's another point for discussion (note i didn't say argument): I truly believe that as a true guitarist Whitford is better. Perry is a great showman, but Whitford does such great stuff.

Unsourced Rumor About Perry's Musical Integrity Reply to this message

That's an interesting accusation. My father is a guitarist, and has quite a few years on Joe. He continues to improve with age, rather than losing his chops. His live performances have also improved over time, and continue to.

I have to tell you, I've never heard the theory that guitarists get less talented with age.

Before we discuss the accusation, though, can you tell me where you heard those rumors? Please post the source here on the board, so I can evaluate its/their credibility.

As far as my opinion of the two guitarists, I think Whitford and Perry are different, and have different strengths.

For raw emotional power, I think Perry has the advantage.

For a more disciplined, technical sound, Whitford may.

As for me, I like Perry's rawness. I like the emotion of it, because it speaks to me personally.

I was always a bigger fan of Slash than I was of Yngwie, for example.

I also think Perry may be a more prolific writer, which is something I greatly admire.

I agree Diva. You can only learn more, you can't just forget what you learned and lose your ability to play. You grow on what you learn.

Joe, I think, is a better guitarist when it comes to just writing something and playing it. He learned on his own, and he has this hard core edge to his playing. I think that's why he is more into the music during performances than Brad is.

Brad has a schooled thing. He learned from someone else. He is a great guitarist, but I think he probably plays better when someone else shows him how to do something. He is more disciplined than Joe, and maybe that's why he barely moves during performances.

Just my opinion!

Rock On!

Incidentally, the last time I saw Aerosmith play live (earlier this summer), Perry's guitar fed back when he was moving around the stage.

I did not say that I believe that he does it all the time. However, have you ever heard a song in concert where you'd swear that there are more guitars playing than there are players on stage??

Also, I heard it from an AF1 member after the twice-reschudled Dayton, OH show (once for Tyler's torn ACL, the second for a bout of viral laryngitis). He said "Did you notice that...?"

Someone brought it to my attention at the Indianapolis show this time also, which made me think and watch more closely. I try to make my own observations, and wonder if someone else has made the same. I'm not making what I believe are totally unfounded accusations. They may not be true. I just wondered if anyone else has truly listened to and watched the show, or if everyone was singing along and didn't really pay close attention.

NEWS JUST IN - AEROSMITH ARE FAKES!!

Thats right folks, first it seemed like it was only joe perry who was faking but no sir, its all of them. in a joint statement for the band read by who was "supposedly" the lead singer of the band, Steven Tyler said "we were just gettin too old for it all. My throat was getting cranky in my old age so my friend, Teven Styler sings now instead. Brad and Tom were getting too slow, so Trad and Bom have recorded for them while they merely strum along on stage, and and Kroey Jamer records the drum sounds for joey, who just bashes around on a few tin cans." Yes thats right folks, Aerosmith are just actors on stage. the real musicians, who call themselves Smero-ith, record for them.

Re: Unsourced Accusation Against Perry's Integrity Reply to this message

I saw Aerosmith 3 times at Jones Beach this summer, had good seats, good view, good sound. The only time I heard a guitar other than Joe's or Brads, was when Russ Irwin (the keyboardist) was playing an acoustic on a couple songs. It was noticeable. Also as a guitarist myself, I know one player, can often sound like two, depending on technigue, and effects, So two guys playing, with effects could easily sound like someone else is playing also.

Steven used to call the litte phantom sounds in their soungs "psycho harmonics" and attributed it to the dual lead playing of Mr Perry and Mr Whitford. They do not play the standard version of rhythm and lead guitarists, they don't have to , with Tom and Joey being so superb at their jobs. Often times they are both playing leads at the same time, especially live. If you watch the giant video screens, it's easy to see hoew confused the camera men, get, they are riight there, and they can't even figure out where the main lead is coming from. Many times they will zoom in on Joe , during a particularly "hot" lick, only to see Joe is just noodling around with some double stop riff, and Brad is over in the dark alone, ripping away a brilliant lead, so they go to him, and suddnly, he's picking up a rhythmn, and Joe is doing the lead, it's the transisitions between the two, that really throw some people off, because they are so smooth, and are constantly passing off to each other.

Long winded and boring, I know, but i think thats what may give people the impression of something going on.

Re: Unsourced Accusation Against Perry's Integrity Reply to this message

Yeah, that I can't explain, other than to say, with all the guitar changes during the show, for whatever reason, the transmiter may not have been where you would expect to see it. I have not kept up on wireless technology, since I am never more than 10 feet from my amp....lol

Another thing to consider, is people are dying to "expose" Aerosmith for something all the time, if they were actually faking the guitars, somebody would have blown the lid off of it by now, in a very public way. Stevens use on backing vocal tracks on some songs, are well documented, and very noticeable at the shows.

As I don't know you or anything about you (other than this thread, and the one about your being less-than-happy about the "Back on the Grass" Tour), and as my personal observations at Aerosmith concerts contradict yours, I personally do not find your assertions about your personal observations credible.

***************************************************************************************

I agree. Anyone with half a brain would think me a troublemaker.

Luckily, people with a whole brain know who the real troublemakers are, and know it is not me.

What unsubstantiated rumors questioning the musical/professional integrity of any member of Aerosmith have I ever spread? have I ever posted to this board?

When have I ever implied or declared that the boys, either in the aggregate or individually, are now talentless?

When have I ever accused them of financially raping their fans?

And as far as adding to this discussion, I posted several substantive additions [see my earlier posts above]:

1. Artists do not lose their artistic ability, or their ability to perform live, with age.
2. Perry and Whitford are both very talented in different ways, and have different styles.
3. Joe's guitar fed back as he moved about the stage at The Wango Tango Festival, indicating that he was, indeed, plugged into an amp.
4. It is important to know the source of a rumor when judging the rumor. (For instance I would be more likely to believe something I read in Scientific American than in The National Enquirer. To make this obvious observation is not "flaming" The National Enquirer, it is expressing an opinion about the relative credibilities of the publications.)

And, for the record, two more points:

Innocent until proven guilty: Giving Aerosmith the benefit of the doubt when it comes to unsubstantiated rumors is as American as The Bill of Rights.

As regards the Internet, "flaming" is a word with a specific definition:
FLAMING noun
COMPUT deluge of critical e-mail: the directing of a large volume of abusive and insulting e-mail at somebody, often as part of a flame war

As the only PM's that have been sent regarding this post have been sent from others TO me, rather than from me to them, it is impossible that I have been guilty of flaming.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Re: Unsourced Accusation Against Perry's Integrity Reply to this message

It appears that the above people know absolutely nothing about wireless technology. It is possible to have a wireless transmitter hidden (say, on the belt underneath the red shirt) and still have it work perfectly. On stage crews are also very creative about hiding the redievers, as so not to look like they're trying to watch TV. Just because you do not see an antenna, does not mean it is not there.

Now as for Tom not using one, it is all a matter of personal preference. Joe feels comfortable using it. Tom may not trust the unit enough, or he just feels more comfortale being hard-wired.

I was on TV once, and the sound engineers tucked the wireless audio transmitter into the back waistband of my pantyhose, sort of nestled above my bum cheeks, and under my suit jacket (which was fairly tailored, and fit close to the body).

I don't think anyone who didn't know me beforehand -- and didn't know my body shape -- would have noticed the small transmitter under my clothing.

And, for those shows where Joe does not remove his shirt, there is always duct tape.

The engineers could put the transmitter anywhere there was room, not just where there was a place to tuck or attach it.

USA, I think the main reason may be lack of need, but, also, some axe men are uneasy about cutting the cord. They've heard horror stories about batteries cutting out. Also, many of them have seen the scene in Spinal Tap where the wireless starts picking up the air traffic conversations.

Re: Unsourced Accusation Against Perry's Integrity Reply to this message

Another quick note:

When you see guests on programs like The Tonight Show, they are wearing lapel mics with small wires running (usually under their clothing) to audio transmitters. How often do you see the transmitter?

A good sound engineer makes sure you never do, or at least tries to, depending on the clothing the guest is wearing.

[SIDEBAR] When I was hooked up to the wireless transmitter, the sound engineers had to keep moving the lapel mic around on my suit jacket, because the audio engineers in the booth could hear my heart pounding, which meant people watching the show at home would be able to hear it, too. (I was very nervous). So, wireless technology is very powerful, and very sensitive.

On a slightly related note, there is such a thing as the wrong place to put a wireless. If any of you saw (hate to use this name) Britney Spears at the Video Music Awards last year, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. For those who didn't see it, it looked like she had a giant hemmoroid.

One time some friends of mine were competing in a Battle of the Bands. It was a really small stage, and the lead guy accidentally unplugged his guitar. After the show he said the next thing he was going to get was a wireless. I don't know if he did, though.

My dad STILL refuses to go wireless.

I was going to upgrade him to wireless for his birthday one year, and his girlfriend told me not to bother, because she had already tried to, and he just took it right back to the store and traded it in for extra Monster cables.

;)

So, I got him a Dean Markley Pro Mag Pickup for his second acoustic, instead.

He kept that.

LOL!

i have to say again lol@giant hemmoroid...i do remember that performance, but i think most people were more concerned with whether she was wearing clothes rather than her transmitter.

On an Aero show for MTV (i believe it was the Spring Break show after 9 lives came out) Steven had on tight jeans and they put it in his back pocket. i was babysitting while it was on and the kid goes "Whoa, Why does that man have a square but???" bad placement? or square but? lol

Actually, Paula Abdul looked worse on MTV. She had the hemmoroid pack and a huge a**, so it looked really bad.

Fellow board members ,this is probably another person from the aerobuds board or the af1 board again..anytime you see someone new to this board starting a controversial topic such as this I could almost guarantee thats it one of them.I"m not paranoid of them I just hate their child like games.If Im wrong them I apologise to this person h20..but I don"t think I am wrong.I really could give 2 shi%S but I think it"s fun catching them at their little games.....but responding to this ridiculous observation that MR PERRY uses backing tapes & is not playing certain songs is ludicrous(wireless amp)is there such a thing???stage amps???hanging amps..which???..maybe the batteries weren"t DURACELL EITHER!!!!...ALSO MAYBE THE EASTER BUNNY GOT THE TOOTHFAIRY PREGNANT & THATS HOW HALLOWEEN WAS BORN!!!
