WHITESNAKE kontern Playbackvorwürfe
Von Oliver Lippert 24. Nov 2008, 17:53
Das folgende Statement erreichte uns kürzlich und wurde vom Whitesnake - Management geschrieben, um die Playback-Vorwürfe die in letzter Zeit während der aktuellen Tour immer öfter aufgetreten sind zu entkräften. Dieses möchten wir euch natürlich nicht vorenthalten:
"In light of recent comments regarding Whitesnakes current live tour we felt
it necessary to offer a technical explanation for Mr Coverdale's microphone
technique, which appears to be responsible for initiating various threads
online on the subject of playback, here are some comments from Bradley
Johnson Whitesnake's very highly regarded Front Of House engineer...
"It is the goal of every front of house engineer to provide the best quality
audio to as many ticket purchasing patrons as possible. The factors that
have a direct influence on this include: room acoustics; type, size and
quality of the PA system: performance of the musicians: stage volume of the
backline gear; even temperature and humidity. I work extremely hard to
accommodate David's mic technique. I endeavour to make every syllable and
nuance of his vocal heard no matter how far the microphone strays from the
sweet spot. Getting a vocal mic audible over a juggernaut guitar rig when it
is three feet from a singers mouth is no small task... Some nights I win,
some nights i do not... As far as running tracks live... ludicrous."
For those of you that interpret and confuse the strength and technique of Mr
Coverdale's vocal (combined with the abilities of our front of house
engineer) for playback are very much mistaken.

David Coverdale war sicher einmal einer der besten Rocksänger unserer Zeit, daran besteht kein Zweifel. 1987 ist legendär und niemehr hat Coverdale auch nur annähernd so gesungen. Live konnte er leider nie an seine Studio Leistungen anknüpfen. Die aktuelle Live DVD ist ein Beschiss ohne Ende. Trotzdem sind die Songs göttlich und unvergessen, daran gibt's nichts zu rütteln. Was Coverdale allerdins auf der aktuellen Tour zusammen gesungen hat, ist wahrlich grottenschlecht; ob playback oder nicht. Die tiefen Sachen kommen noch einigermassen rüber, aber sobald er etwas höher singen muss, ist Feierabend. Da kommt nur noch 'Hals' und Gekrächze. Schade...
I am sure everybody agrees that David Coverdale used to be one of the greatest rock singers of our time. 1987 is a legend and Coverdale never achieved this again. Live he was never as good as in the studio. The current live dvd is a total cheat. What you see is not what you hear. Never the less the songs are amazing and unforgettable, nothing to moan about that. The way Coverdale sang on the current live tour is total crap; playback or not. The lower parts are still ok but when he has to sing a little higher it's over. There's only 'throat' and bad screaming. Shame...
