Rio sound?

[Bostonrose]

IS it just me or is the soundboard for Rio all fucked up....some songs you can barely hear Axl, other songs the guitars are overpowering everything and on the blues it was all SNARE drum, until the end when someone turned up Robins guitar for the solo and it was louder than everything....

I could barely hear Axl on Rocket Queen

what a bloody mess!? ?

[HungerForChaos]

I know, that sucked.

[Bostonrose]

Robin's solo in Nov. Rain was horrible.....what is going on?    Off night?

[kaddisonmoore]

yea i noticed that too the guitars during betters bridge sucked but overall a good show

[jimb0]

only the last few songs sounded great sb wise

[Bostonrose]

No, No, No

Not a good show, ?definately not a good show...it was down right horrible....

UGHH...

I am not bashing the band. ?they are great, but RIO just plan sucked ass, this is the worse I have ever heard

[odd1]

some times you couldnt hear Bumblefoots guitar at all

and I really wanted to strangle Chris Pitman, he was super loud ?

[joneslloyd]

That was sure interesting!

Performance wise, Axl and co. gave 100%!

They all seemed to be really into it, especially with Nightrain and Paradise City.

SOUNDBOARD wise though, it was absolutley terrible.

Seriously, the way the sound-desk was managed tonight is a fire-able offence! VERY poor sound levelling on nearly all songs, bar the last few, to be honest.

But a brilliant performance, where (where i could hear it) Axl's voice is a world better again

dudes,every song sounded awsome.all you had to do was alter your pc speakers when the sound changed

[Origen]

Yeah the first few songs sounded good and so did the last few, but everythink in between was totally fucked up (by the mixer not the band)

IRS: you could barely hear Axl for any of it. SCOM: If you can hear the solo then you deserve a medal cos I couldn't hear shit.

In some songs I could literally hear Dizzy playing BONGOS louder then I could the guitars. And also what's with all the sound effects, you could barely hear any of the guitar work for half the songs (and thats saying somethink since there is 3 guitarists you would think we could hear one of them well)

Axls voice was either too quiet or too loud.

The band performed great but who ever was in charge of the sound needs firing.

[LordRazZ]

And sadly, had the sound folks done their job right, the band would have sounded that much better.

I honestly wonder if the crowd was as dead as they seemed, or if that was the shitty sound as well.

Place your name on the list to start a petition haha!

Haha. You're so fucking wrong. I can't believe you're saying shit like this.

[manny]

i thought the inly problem was with the soundboard. but hey stop bitching, it was a good show on the part of the band.

[Bostonrose]

Yeah, ok.....

[Tomorrows]

I dont think its Chris Pittman's fault.

Correct me if Im wrong, but dont off-stage technicians and engineers normally control the mixing? As far as I know, Pittman deals with the effects of the sounds during song. Err, right?

[Bostonrose]

He wasn't even trying during BETTER...

this is the worst show EVER

what a fucking JOKE

I'm sure it was the shitty sound...Axl's vocals on Better weren't that good...

[TrueRock&Roll]

wasn't it just the shitty internet feed that made it sound bad?  I'm sure it sounded good all the way through

[busngabb]

Was it like that LIVE though?

Axl didn't react to it, even when his mic cut out completely. Neither did Ron Thal as he was silently (On the AOL stream anyway) busting out a solo. I think it may just have been in the stream, it will be interesting to hear the reaction of the people at the show.

The second half was amazing. November Rain was stunning, YCMB too. Big Kudos to Ron Thal for playing Don't Cry, the crowd loved that.

A FANTASTIC show.
