mep Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Don't buy it myself. There would be loads of bleed through the vocal mic and there's none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny_Innie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) This is one of a series of similar hoaxes. Sound engineers will generally be too professional to do anything other than try to get a genuine good sound for the venue. Whether you approve of his idea of that sound is another matter.

Mornats Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I can hear the other instruments coming through faintly though, surely that's bleed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I could accept the vocals as hers, sounds a hell of a lot like her on a bad day but I think even Courtney love drunk/stoned could still play guitar a bit better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I also could accept the vocals as being hers. Guitar, not at all. it did remind me of this though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYc4DT18EJg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It seems to be real.... here's hardly any of her guitar in the mix. http://youtube.com/watch?v=v-xUwDARVb4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] hmm, I don't know... listen to this, it sounds just as awful (forget the fact she forgot the chords ). It sounds like she is turned down in the mix as soon as the song starts...

KevB Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) This has been covered quite extensively in another thread the other week, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246808-great-little-video-sorry-if-its-been-on-before/page__p__2573706__hl__sound%20engineer__fromsearch__1#entry2573706"]ttp://basschat.co.uk/topic/246808-great-little-video-sorry-if-its-been-on-before/page__p__2573706__hl__sound%20engineer__fromsearch__1#entry2573706[/url] Edited October 24, 2014 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's got to be fake cos look at how much the audience is getting into it, plus the guy would never work again if he done that to someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's clearly not the mix that made it out, live, FOH, he wouldn't be that stupid. But rather, if he recorded it, he can put this alternative mix on YouTube, allowing her vocals and guitar to be distinct from everything else, to illustrate her performance. Like I said, watch the video I posted from Paris. She has the same kind of out of tune guitar, and as soon as the song kicks in, her guitar disappears from the mix.

ubit Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah I watched that and it's clear she's dropped right out the mix to allow the guitRist to carry the song cleanly. I don't think anyone would say Courtney Love is an accomplished axe " man" but I would have thought she was better than that. Just goes to show, eh?

Beer of the Bass Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I liked Hole at the time (I was a teenager in the mid-late 90s so it fitted well with the teenage angsty thing), so I'm prepared to cut her a bit of slack. It seems like the guitar is used more like a visual prop or cuing aid, and is probably not meant to be heard in the FOH mix. That's why there are two more guitarists in the band - Love will be well aware of this! When was Grunge ever about polished performances anyway?
