Actually, I like the Black Eyed Peas. They’ve had a ton of hits — but the sound and acoustics were just extremely bad.
Bands nowadays don’t do all that well in front of live audiences ...with everything so mixed, synthesized, and airbrush edited for MTV videos.
MTV videos? Huh? Those don’t exist anymore.
The Black Eyes Peas are not a “band”.
Bands, real bands, good bands, do extremely well in front of live audiences.
Fake bands, bands who only dance around and don’t play instruments, don’t do well on tour, probably because the fakery is expensive to produce. Real bands who are great live aren’t expensive to produce. White Stripes are great live, that’s just 2 people playing.
I don’t like a lot of modern music. I am not a fan of the Peas, but their music sells. Amazing, to me, but it does.
I know a little about performing, and it seemed to me the sound guy from the show really did a bad job. Probably a football field doesn’t have the best acoustics, but I don’t think the performers heard a thing on that stage. There’s a certain “sound” bands have when they aren’t hearing themselves.
