Godsmack's Sully Erna has a message for rock bands that lean on backing tracks live.
In a new interview with Get On The Bus, Erna said: "Don't go up there and pretend you're a rock musician."
"At that point, you're no different than sitting in your bedroom lip syncing to the album that you have on into your mirror."
He acknowledged there's tech to "even out the tempos, the drum beats or whatever," adding: "Most of us still play to click tracks."
He also took aim at A.I., saying rock has a passion "you will never be able to replicate through A.I."
"So you can put an A.I. band on stage all you want."
Is Sully right? 🤘
