Maybe Rios sound on the AOL streams

[Billo]

Maybe the sound was off on purpose because Axl knew there would be alot of us Downloading motherf@ckers waiting to copy it Who knows really..maybe thats the reason for no TWAT CD and maddy??

I don't really want to speculate as to why, but the sound quality on the stream wasn't good.  The vocals and guitars were routinely drowned out by electronic effects when seeing their shows live, the opposite is the case, the electronic effects are in the background to supplement the vocals and guitars.  I don't like these recordings

the sound from the internet feed was "off the board", meaning, it wasn't what it REALLY sounded like in the crowd.

What we heard was the sound board mix.......you hear mostly vocals and non-amplified instruments, like drums, keys (vocals) etc....the guitars were low in the mix b/c they have STAGE VOLUME, while the keys, drums, vocals have little or no stage (keys) volume at all.

ive played shows where we got the audio "off the board", and compared to what people heard in the crowd, its totally different.

thats why the crowd sounded low.....

the only guitars u hear are very low rhythm guitars...sometimes the solo's pop thru the mix too much...

but again, what we heard was noa true representation of the real, total sound, and the crowd audio

AOL leaks are shit quality.

I remember watching Some stuff on there earlier this year and it made the songs horrible cause of the poor quality of the stream.

Could it have anything to do with the compression of the audio?? I would guess any type of audio that would be streamed and put across the internet, would have to be a lesser quality.

Its not about quality, but the mix. The the guitars weren't on the mix properly (or weren't at all). This has nothing to do with compression.
