woohoo go axl? :hihi: he's prolly talking to the sound crew. you can also hear a second voice.

holy shit :rofl:

i`m not sure he`s talking to merck though.....  anyways   he`s PISSED

edit: well... nevermind

Thanks Frozen, that made my day!

I guess after that rant, the audio problems disappeared?

Merck probably shit his pants 30 times after that  :rofl:

WOW :-X

thats fucking so classic. thanks...

What'd the second guy say? Can anyone make it out?

he is not talking to merck

So this is from Donington.

imo, he's probably talking to the sound engineer not Merck

Jesus christ. Where'd you get hold of that anyways?

damn, did the audience here that too?

in most of the tracks u can here merck, so thats why im assuming it was him.

uhh no, not exactly.

And I thought I was pissed at the way Brain plays YCBM........

nice rant
he is very pissed there  :hihi:

Thats Axl for yah

do ppl even do qualuudes anymore?

What is he exactly saying?

http://www.thenewguns.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1341

like i said, you can hear merck throughout a few songs. like when tommy throws his bass and hits someone.

frozen's got all the goodies  ;D

the whole monitor mix bootleg from that show is on dime

fuck! can't download from dime  :'(

uhhh? thats why you can download them here

"I think we have a.... Is this thing even on, 'cause I can't tell! I think we have a decision to fucking make.

As if I'm supposed to do my job, you're supposed to fucking do yours, Tom's supposed to do his and whoever the else the fuck supposed to do theirs.

Including the stupid idiot that keeps blocking the runway over here, has to do theirs. Or I don't need to be here. It's that fucking simple. I've been fucked about five-six times out here and I'm sick of it.

I mean it wouldn't take a fucking rocket scientist for someone to come and hook up my micpack, but you couldn't do that! Why not? Fell asleep? Had a Qualude?"

is this proof enough for the people who didn`t believe in the TD`s? :hihi:

that's not working either..says that it's impossible to download..and i did try more than once..




heard that little rant now,man,he sounds pissed! :o ;)

thanks. Who is Tom??

I think Tom is the stage manager who had his birthday while the band was on tour....

Edit: Found it!

June 17th, 2006 - Burgenland, Austria @ Pannonia Fields II (Novarock)

Happy birthday is wished to both stage manager Tom Mayhue and Dizzy Reed at different times during the show.


/jarmo

how was that recorded!?

it's from axl's monitor mix.

you can download it @ new guns it may just take awhile, it took me several tries to get the third one

I like that little rant.  Anger makes for more emotion in the shows. Well, sometimes it does.

download that: http://downloads.thenewguns.com/blueboats/cd1/11-richardandrobin-2006-06-11.flac
after the richard/robin solo (around 6 mn) there are lots of problems, I can't hear/understand everything but they all seem nervous. Axl and Tommy sound pissed off

my god, thats intense... axls the man

wow  :o

^ thats what i thought.... i was expecting it to be some real bad quality audio where you had to listen real carefully to waht was going on.... how wrong was i? LOL

this is ace.

can get enough of it

im assuming the whole show is axls monitor mix then?

im downloading the mp3s for now because the flacs are temporaraly unavailable... im excited.

I guess Axl aint bright either...
if it doesnt take a rocket scientist to hook it up, why didnt he do it :rofl:

" i WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A ASSHOLE"



CLASSIC

after the richard/ robin solo axl's like " i wanna thank everyone for making me look like a ass" "this was the most important show" it goes on with some swearing and something being thrown.. axl's super pissed :nervous:

im listening to it now. hah its great.

HAHAHAHA. Nice.

THE MOVING THEPIANIO PART IS GREAT ,,,,HE KEEPS GOING TOMMMMMM , TOMMMMMMM , TOMMMMMM

I bet Tom is already fired for the U.S Tour? :hihi:

thats funny :rofl:

you couldn't pay me with playboy playmates to run sound for that man

Happy birthday Tom!! You're fired!  :rofl:

sounded like someone was throwing shit around.
"for the most important show"
i think the most important one was fucking supposed to be ROCK IN RIO.

dude... they nailed Rock In Rio... its just the broadcast that was fucked.

he meant that rio was the most imoportant show

axl sounds horrible on you could be mine. I hate monitor mixes, they aren't the true sound that was coming out of the system.

i think he was talking about the europe tour

last time i checked,lisbon was in europe

 what are you talkng about ....thats ecactly how he sounds like with no vocal delay or verbage added!!

uh no.  I am not even going to begin to explain to you how it works.  But that is NOT how he would sound if he were singing right to your face. There is some compression and other things that are going on here.

then rio wasn't as important to him

Well clearly an English show would be more important that one at some far flung holiday resort.

Donnington was a big chance for the band to stamp the preconceptions out. They showed a lot of balls taking on that festival and they were rewarded with an array of technical errors and a brutal crowd.

Yet they still won the fuckers over in the end. A landmark GNR show.

yeah, but donnington is important to axl... so axl was gettin at the sound guys for fucking up and stuff and making a complete fuck up of his/tha bands most important show.

just my opinion

i take it you havent heard bachs monitor mix yet  :hihi:

I work with sound ,basically in a nut shell his voice hits a pa effects ?box before it hits the speakers in a arena or coleisumn.This is uncompressed vocal sound .Like how you talk in the morning on a phone just after you wake up.

wow this is priceless :o :hihi:

I love it! :beer:

I wanna hear the whole thing now! d/l at the mo

Nah...

I remember, probably in the Pittsburgh '02 soundboards, when Axl screws up near the end of Rocket Queen. The band covers up for him nicely, playing the 'Here I am' -part twice, so that he can get back on track. Afterwards, he rants a bit, saying: "I just had a fuck-up with Mr Tom Mayhue, doing his job well there!"

So it's most likely water under the bridge, a heat of the moment kind of thing. Tom should know how to handle these things by now.  ;D

This Tom is starting to sound quite a guy... maybe he's more Guns n Roses than Pitman  : ok:

Well, Tom was with the road crew even back in the UYI tour, and is credited as a technician in TSI. So he's been a part of the organisation for a good while.

BTW, while on the subject:

"Appearing as uncluttered as Henry?s FOH area, Seal?s stage contains no wedge monitors and very few microphones. ?Except for the cymbals, everything on stage is electronic,? Henry says. ?We want to keep a dead-quiet stage so that the vocal mic has nothing feeding into it, which gives you optimum sound. He?s got such a spectacular voice that you don?t want to mess it up.? Production manager Tom Mayhue, who, like Henry, has worked with Seal for nearly a decade, says that they haven?t experienced any problems with this setup, though it is a bit ?more technical? than previous tours."

- http://www.ultimateears.com/superfi/press__static__file-audio-trades_2004-02-02-Mix.html


Guess ol' Tom should use Seal's setup for Axl as well.  :rofl:

You just got to love it.   :hihi:

boy someone pissed in somebody's cheerio's lol.such lanquage i never lol.boy that just turned me on '

It was also the first big show in front a UK audience, a precursor to the UK gigs in July. Even when looking at the big picture, I'd rank Download right up there with RIR5 and Rock Am Ring. So I'd say Axl had a good reason to be worried.

Notice the 'asshole' comment before Better, then take a look at the video. Axl's standing still for the whole song, he was major-league pissed right about then.

Great performance of I.R.S, well audio anyway. 

my ipod is very happy

Hey can someone RE-UP this, the links say "download limit exceeded" thanks!

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=BC62838C55C0150C

^^^you are the man inferno! :yes:

heres the full song

Y.C.B.M.: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=A2ECA73E5E87F87B

I must admit, hearing Ron sing at the end made me laugh. i dont really like his singing.

sheesh, what a bitch.

sheesh great post fuckin spammer.^^

If there ever was a show to hear a monitor mix, this was the one that needed to be heard.

Bloody awesome to everyone who made this puppy happen.

here frozen, i hosted the clip so it wont expire
here (http://www.misterspunky.com/funpics/axlrant.mp3)

I don't believe I had heard that rant by Axl before. Boy does he sound pretty irritated and pissed though.

What did Merck say there?



EDIT: Okay, I found it. If anyone else wants to hear it: http://media.putfile.com/better-end-2006-06-11

Thanks!  That's some tirade, but probably quite justified, I'm sure...

did he cough in the begining of that song?   :rofl:

LOL! His singing ain't bad, but I see what you mean. Ron's mic is way louder than Axl's for some reason. Hearing Axl's voice in the back is totally weird. They completely fucked it up there. No wonder Axl got so pissed off.

End of "better" you can hear someone say "Junior just got hit with Tommy's guitar....in the head":
http://media.putfile.com/better-end-2006-06-11

yeah...Axl singing like back up for Ron Thal, hmm....I think i'll take Axl as lead  :yes:

...."should we just lay   down and take a nap,maybe"....

Oh my god, listen to Axl sing Chinese Democracy.  :no:

Also, as for this rant - it's funny, but is anyone else surprised at how different Axl's voice sounds? Especially when he says "stupid idiot" and some of the other stuff around that part. It's pretty interesting.

Can anyone list some other good rants/audio clips from this feed so I can skip through to different tracks? I won't be listening to the full performance for a little while.

oh sorry....awesome rant. great to have the old Axl back!!

Merck?

BTW, I think it's 'Jimmy'.



Not really, compare it to Axl on KROQ or Eddie Trunk show, pretty much the same - aside being aggravated, of course.

merck, gnr's manager.

and it sounds like junior to me  :crying:

yeah but listen to Bach on my michelle. The montior mix makes their voices sound worse than they really are.

These things always make the voices sound so BAD....do like the little privant rant Axl has going.  Reminds me of seeing him backstage during the show crushing everything in site because his mic went out on Oh My God.  Great Memory.

Reminds me of the time I was backstage and Axl came storming out of his dressing room and walked straight up to me and said, "Are you the sound guy?"

- "No. I'm a --"
- "I don't give a fuck. Look, there's a wild alligator in my dressing room drying to eat my bits n' pieces if you catch my drift, and I don't need no motherfuckin' alligator trying to run off with my dick before a performance! I am an artistE! I demand perfection! Now get in there and kill that damn alligator before I punch you in the balls."

Of course, I figured he was just high or completely crazy, so I went into his dressing room. Apparently my suspicions were correct since there was no alligator. Axl was right behind me jumping over my shoulder: "See it? SEE IT?!! It's right there! KILL IT!" Then he pushed me into the dressing room and screamed like a girl. "It's trying to eat my special place!"

He locked me in his dressing room and wouldn't open the door. Merck came over and said, "Axl, let the nice man out."

- "No, Merck. Slash is in there, and he's trying to gang-bang me!"
- "Axl, Slash is in Ohio right now."
[long pause]
- "FUCK YOU YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER! You ITALIAN SCUMHEAD! GET IN THE RING MOTHERFUCKER, I'LL KICK YOUR BITCHY LITTLE ASS, PUNK!"
- "Axl, last time you said that and I fought you, you lost teeth, remember?"
[long pause]
"Okay. I'll let the nice man out now."

The door began to open, and Axl peered in.

"HOLY SHIT THE ALLIGATOR'S STILL THERE!" Then he threw Merck in with me and locked both of us in there together.

Actually, that didn't happen. But if it did, then I wouldn't be lying right now, and this story would actually be more than a figment of my imagination.

one of the best post i have ever read!! lol !!

I thought Ron sounds pretty good at the end of that :hihi:
Fucking Axl is right pissed there.

what did he say at the end of asking for the piano for dizzy? tom has no earpiece? thats what it sounds like

Jesus, that's fucking awesome : ok:

Thankx Frozen !

I just love when Axl is pissed :peace:

Im not so sure its cool to hear him pissed off, but his rants rock all the same!. Im just glad the show went on .

    (on a side note its kinda funny cause last night at work I went on a huge rant, someone took my dvd of Rock Am ring outta the dvd player in the back dining room at my restuarant, I went balsitic , on everyone and thier mother.lol cussing up a storm, yellng at the manager and others,no one would fess up! , turned out it was my manager, dumb ass! Well I dont think hell fuck with my GNR DVDs anymore!. )

Then I come home to hear Axl ranting at people who work for him , funny stuff!

At that stage Axl had walked off stage, Ron strolled over to one of the bakcing mics and joined in with Tommy/Dizzy etc who were singing the backing parts (it's them you can here quieter in the background).  For some reason the mic Ron was using is really loud in Axl's mix, I'm sure it wasn't that high at the Festival.  For the record, I think he sounds good!

thanks dude.

.it wouldn't take a fucking rocket scientist for someone to hook up my mic pack.. :hihi:


Axl is always having issues with mic packs. There either falling off or he is tampering with the switches. Maybe it is about time for some company to design a new Axl proof mic pack.

I just listened to the entire concert and Axl says some pretty funny shit in between songs......At the end of - I Used to love her - he yells "what a fuckin' mess!!" And the end of the solo before PC he says to someone "get me plane tickets to New York, NOW!!" I think it's pretty funny....

it's both funny and dramatic. Dramatic because sometimes Axl acts like a 12 years old children. "give me this, nah give me that! if I don't get it I go home!"... hey, life is not so easy Axl. When shit happens, act like an adult not like a children. anyway, it was probably a bad day and a bad crowd who knows? I've always said pure metal-heads crowd like this one is not right for GN'R. crowds are different and people are different. Things happen way better when the crowd is more a basic Rock crowd like Rock in Rio or Rock am Ring, more Rock and less Metal. generally Metal festivals have more extreme crowds and all i can say is that GN'R ain't into that pure metal scene. Never was and never will be.

Is the entire show available with the monitor mix?

So far I'd only heard the YCBM clip that was linked here.

Is so, where can I get the whole show?

YEAH! No shit! I didn't see the whole show either?!

That had nothing to do with it....the band sounded like total shit at times because of obvious sound problems.....that's all......I understand what you are saying but I don't think Donnington applies. They knew GNR was there and they stayed to watch them. They played and Axl sang MUCH better as the tour progressed. Thank God.

Sorry guys....I thought everyone had it before me actually.....http://www.thenewguns.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1341

Enjoy

GNR seems to have more sound problems than many other performers.  People need to be held accountable if they are not doing their job right.  Axl was pissed, but he probably had a right to be.  If the sound guys aren't getting the job done right get new ones.

There's a hell of a lot of conversations going on in the background at various stages - at the end of SCOM for example, but someone would have to use headphones, crank it up a little, etc to make it out. I'll bet there's some fascinating tslk going on. I might have a closer listen.

@#$%Funker

Give us feedback on that....I am at work with no headphones....

You have to admit that vocally this is not one of Axl's better performances. The technical problems and the crowd just didn't help either.

Absolutely...he had his moments though.....but so did the crowd

Before CD, someone shouts "Chinese?" Axl goes "Alright", the the original voice goes "yeah?" in disbelief, the shouts it out to the rest of the band. Then about 30 seconds later someone comes up again and says "Is it Chinese?" again sounding surprised.

@#$%Funker

"no" It has to be answered by axl as " it don't really matter" at a certain point. :hihi:


Thanks Skinflick  :D
and thanks rx, Crazyman EFISH timebomb and anyone who posted the link.

Now all I need is a means of opening flac files.

Thanks!! I was a member there LONG before here. I guess I should open my damn eyes sometime!!

Winrare files are ready for download if you scroll down their page a bit......

I will. Cheers doubles Skinflick.  :-*


I'm half asleep. :-[

Listen to the very end of UTLH.  ;D

- "Paradise City, Axl...we're runnin' out of time."

- "Last I know, you weren't in the band. The one thing you got right was to tell me to leave the stage, good for you, buddy - good for you!"

- "That was Merck."

[no answer]

 :hihi:

Listening to this monitor mix you can definitely hear that his vocal chords have taken strain from all the hard singing back in the day. When he says "Good for you buddy" it's really high-pitched and doesn't sound too much like Axl. Ditto for when he says "Stupid idiot" during the YCBM rant. He actually sounds younger.  ???

Sorry, i don't understand, who was Axl talking to when he said "last i know, you weren't in the band" etc...?

Izzy- who else?

Ha....


And Axl's voice was in much better shape as they stomped through Europe........It did sound strained in the beginning. He is still the best in the business though cause if anyone else tried to sing like that, their vocal chords would go rocketing straight into another galaxy.....don't believe me? You try it. It has to be natural and it is for him.

izzy ? he would have ?

U know if Axl would soundcheck....... he probably wouldn't have so many technical problems

I've never heard of any other band have as many technical problems as GNR

Either Axl is extremely unlucky, is too lazy to soundcheck or hires a bunch of incompetents who dont know what they are doing.

I thought it was Merck he said that to.

Ali

Well....he is unlucky......aren't we all.....I believe, and always have, that he wants to save his vocals and his voice for the show....he wants to keep his voice as fresh as possible so it will last for 2+ hours of screaming your lungs out. He does vocal exercises to warm up and then he goes on. He has a very unorthadox voice.....so he has his reasons......I am not stating a fact, only an opinion that might only be worth dog shit.......have a beautiful day.

I was at Donnington: He said it to Izzy, to which Izzy replied, "That was Merck".

Who gives a hot fuck....it was funny as hell....a lot of it was. I don't care if he was talking to the motherfuckin' toothfairy...know what I mean bro?

"Last I know...you're not in the band."

Ouch. I didn't know he was talking to Izzy. That just shows that they still have a lot of tension. And to be honest Axl really does sound kind of like a prick there - I mean, Izzy was just telling him they were out of time, why should he get slammed for that?  ???

I don't have time to listen to the whole thing so I don't know what all the rants are, so after what song does he say this?

How can I d/l it? The file has expired?  :-\
Help please  :)

Right before Paradise.....u gotta here what he says at the end of I used to love her though....

do you use dimeadozen if so you get the full show in appetite for collection its awesome

if you have a problem pm me

Those kind of things help me to understand the Axl/Slash clash and why it fucked up in the old band. Honnestly, I can't see Axl speaking so bad to Slash or Duff like that without getting in troubles...

It's OK dude, Axl was totally having a laugh when he said that to Izz, had a wide smile on his face and was having a great time at that point. Would all have been in good spirit :)

you shouldn't steal links  :no:

are you serious guys???   

this is so ridiculous.....

first, merck, not izzy, told axl that they were running out of time and second, izzy and axl were having fun.....

"there`s still a lot of tension between them" ::)

You're in trouble buddy...... :-X....no stealing links...

I have a bootleg of "so fine" from 1992 were Axl suddenly starts to unsult Slash onstage, but Slash didn't shut up and they insulted each other onstage. It's really odd. Slash didn't do anything but axl started to insult him. Do you want me to upload it? Do you want to hear it?

FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH.........ummmm yeah.....could ya?

Nes, RussianRoulette, or anyone, wouldn't you say that kinda joke between your close friends? You always do the polite?
:confused:.


thanks sizzle for saving my time. ;)

And Skinflick, about his voice he can also sing with orthodox voice, if by unorthodox you mean unlike classical tenor. hard to explain. listen to the 2002 boots. I'm guessing his stable singing of this year bases on that.

Axl/Slash clash (so fine)--->: http://rapidshare.de/files/31112513/Guns__n_Roses_-_106_-_So_Fine.mp3.html
Go to the end of the song to 5:00 minute, up the volume (sound quality is quite poor but you can still hear them).

This is an extremely, extremely rare bootleg.

No...meaning unusual, one of a kind......for the most part 2002 sucked. I am talking more about the earlier days and this year. I am an old school fan that enjoys the new band a great deal. I mean.....just ck out some of the boots from 91' to 93'....You will know exactly what I mean. Or read an article from another musician that has seen and heard him record in the studio. I could go on and on.....

Axl thought it was Izzy telling him to cut it short. Axl chewed out Izzy. Then Izzy told him, "That was Merck." Axl got their voices mixed up. They clearly weren't playing around, you can hear it in Izzy's voice.

UMMMM.....you are my new friend...thank you.

Ha, I've heard that before. It's pretty funny, isn't it?  :peace:

Rainx and Chineseblues are usually pretty cool about people using their links I think.  I could be wrong though.

No, you're right.

HOLY SHIT!.....never heard it and it is pretty fuckin' funny....I think I heard ABOUT it in a magazine interview I read years ago.....Axl wound up apologizing to him later on after the show.......he said he misunderstood what Slash said.

Can someone transcribe what was said on the mp3? I won't be access it until way later tonight and I'm sure the link will be dead by then.

Axl gets told "We gotta go short Robin and Paradise Axl, we're outta time" by Merck.

Then Axl says to Izzy "Last I know, you weren't in the band", to which Izzy replies "It's been a while".

Then Axl introduces Robin and then says "Gee, the one thing you got right was to tell me to leave the stage. Good for you buddy. Good for you!".

Then Merck says "That was Merck".

That's what I think happened. I dont know where you people get the Axl/Izzy drama from....



/jarmo

I was completely joking......I really don't care and I am actually all for it. All's fair in love n war.

Oh I was trying to start anything. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew they're pretty cool peeps over there.

actually i believe you got their voices mixed up :hihi:

it`s definitely not izzy who says "that was merck"   izzy just says "it`s been a while"  and he doesn`t sound aggrevated or anything....

edit: axl said "the one thing you got right".......  i think he either meant tom or the sound guy, who then replied "that was merck"    he was pretty pissed of at the beginning at those guys

Absolutely...I am a member there......and with a few others....but I enjoy this one the most....even though I am new to this one....it IS the best forum period. I haven't been on the others in quite sometime.

Sounds like Axl saying "it's been a while" to me. Maybe not, but it really sounds like him.

That's exactly what I think.  Axl uses the same voice to say "it's been a while" that he uses to say "good for you, buddy".

Ali

I listened to it again. It's definitely him.

"Last I know, you aren't in the band - it's been a while!" As in, it's been a while since Izzy was in the band. Then Izzy says "That was Merck" (or someone says "That was Merck").

The "it's been a while" bit really doesn't sound like Izzy to me.

did you ever hear izzy`s voice people`?

izzy says "it`s been a while" nothing more, nothing less....

i`m not sure who tells axl to stop the show (i think it`s merck) and more importantly who says "that was merck"

Well, Axl could have meant "it's been a while since I checked, but last I knew you weren't in the band."  That sort of thing.  Without any visual evidence, I don't know how you can say who he directed that towards. 

Ali

maybe axl meant merck when he said "last i knew, you weren`t in the band" and izzy got it wrong :hihi:

seriously, there`s no tension between axl and izzy and that?s the most important thing

Yeah, if there was, Izzy wouldn't have played so many shows after this one.  He would just have left.

Ali

i agree with you man..monitor sucks

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oT50APob5nk


i don`t know if there`s more of this available at the moment....

now i understand why borntodie doesn`t give a ahit about audio files.... : ok:


you see izzy and axl are standing right next to each other when axl gets told to "leave the stage"....  axl knows izzy`s voice for like 40 years now by the way.....  i highly doubt he`d confuse merck`s and izzy`s voice...

this is becoming a very redundant topic.....has been for 4 hours now....we're all better than this.....I hope

It sure is hard to imagine Izzy sticking around if there was trouble.

tommy's background vocals at ycbm are awsome

Dude, where did you get that LA Weekly quote at the bottom of your profile? Is there an article online?

there was an article posted here some time ago. no idea if it's still online

Thanks for the links btw. I just got the whole show. It has been burned to CD for my listening pleasure on the way to work tomorrow!

Thanks again!

http://www.laweekly.com/music/music/smokin/12763/

Thanks brother...

Maybe you guys can clear something up for me?

What we are hearing is truly how Axl is singing, and what the audience hears is the mix?

I thinki it's what is in axl's ear peice :peace:

This is what Axl hears in his ears. Thats why his voice is so much louder than everything else. This is not a soundboard or what the audience is hearing.

Just about every rock singer is using mixes now....it brings a more powerful sound and can help you out a little when your voice is in bad shape so the show won't suffer as much.....Scott Wyland does it as well...

you know something.i think he is adorable mad or glad he is still.but look out when he is mad lol.he is like on fire when ranting that way.

O RLY. I don't know what it's like France, who knows, maybe the metal fans over there act really horribly, but at least in my country they're always the ones who are on their best behavior, and truly there for the music. Take for example Tuska Open Air, Finland's biggest metal festival. During eight years of existence, never had any troubles; no fights or any other crimes committed whatsoever. It's the cleanest festival in the country, whereas the more generic festivals (dedicated to pop and rock music) always create some work for the police.

[Sorry for the off-topic, I try to ignore that guy nine out of ten times, but I guess this was number ten :hihi:]

This is a direct feed from Axl - before any of the sound is mixed, processed or whatever. This is what is *really* coming out of throat.

It sorta is....it's really not that black and white.....way too much for me to write exactly what is going on there....it also depends on the song they're playing.....
