…different times…different rules…
there were times, where having nothing but a laptop with u on stage, was the big sexy…
nowadays it’s common ground, no matter what it sounds like, looking like ur nothing but reading ur mails on stage is the most boring thing to do…
end of the day and all times, it’s nothing but showbusiness…
and there’s no showbiz without pretending…
and actually, we’re back to the good old rule…what matters the most, is what comes out of the speakers…
and no matter if we’re talking dj’s or truu live acts, full band setup’s or anything inbetween…
once u sound right, all that’s missing to make the night complete is pretending…
so, if ur show makes sense in any way and feels real, ur good to go…
u can have the biggest setup around and with u…if u don’t perform that thing, pretend the right way, ur boring…
and since most people can’t count on personal stagecrews and stuff, all u can do is make sure ur sound does’nt suck and u shake ur hips the right way behind some small footprint gear that shakes the room with u…in authentic fashion…
so never turn a knob without a sonic reason while just pretending big time…
audience can smell posers pretty fast…even if u rock big time while doing so…once ur known as a poser only, no big sourrounding gear park will help any longer…
