Daniel,
I understand the point you were trying to make...but
you might want to pull back a bit on the smack aimed
at the musicians who tour with N'Snyc. I watched the
N'Sync HBO special and let me tell ya - that band was
tough as nails!! The drummer was astounding.
Think about it - with all the money behind that act,
do you think they are going to hire lousy musicians?
Unlikely.
One funny moment from that show came while the credits
were rolling. N'Sync had left the stage and the band
was vamping out and in the middle of the vamp, they
broke into the unison synth/guitar section from the
middle of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush! Needless to say, this
was lost on the entire Madison Square Garden audience
of teen and pre-teen girls, but I know I was laughing
and I am sure the players were too.
Just for the record, so there is no confusion that I
might be some synth player "sticking up for my own",
my gig rig consists of a Vk-7 atop a Fender Rhodes 73.
That's it. No Swiss Army Knives for me!
Mitch
