He did a cover of Purple rain that's up on YouTube and it owns. Completely eclipses any Maroon 5 stuff.

Thanks god someone finally covered Purple Rain, that obscure gem which is utterly horrific in its original version and therefore demands superior modern covers by true artists such as Maroon 5

In a little bit of stupidly awesome music poo poo (which I've probably posted in the previous version of this thread), let's all make sure we remember how Prince absolutely made everyone cream their pants with his own fan-drat-tastic take on the solo of a certain George Harrison-penned ditty.

Everything about this. Great tone, too.

I was watching the game last night and I was very shocked and surprised to see that reissue 30th Anniversary JEM at the very end of the half-time show. It got me thinking about if there is any connection between Levine and Vai (i.e. is Levine from NJ? Do they know each other from the business or what?) Because that's a weird choice of guitar but I think it would be pretty USA if Vai got to perform at a superbowl. He's just about peak America Guitar.

All that nonsense aside, I agree because Prince did anything and everything and he was so baller it was pretty much always, on balance, cool.

I gotta give Adam Levine credit on one thing. I've never heard anyone else's natural singing voice sound so autotuned. Dude sounds like a robot.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but live autotune is very much a thing they can do now. And pretty convincingly too.

A lot of times they will also pre-record the live show earlier in the day/week in the live environment and then play it back (auto tuned and perfected) during the performance so it actually sounds as live and authentic as they can make it. They can even side chain a noise gate to the performer’s mic during the show so if the performer stops singing (the actual “live“ performance you don’t actually hear) into the microphone, the recording will mute accordingly to avoid any Milli Vanilli moments.

pretty sure some assistant or set dresser just went to a guitar shop nearby and found the most gaudy thing on the racks

i haven't watched it in years, but snl is probably the only tv show left where musicians are actually performing because holy christ there's no way their mixing can be so consistently terrible if it's pre-recorded

Pretty sure the 30th Anniversary reissue JEMs have been out of stock and they cost $3.5k so perhaps this theory is somewhat less than plausible.

Please don't normalise Coldplay as being acceptable ITT.

Fun on topic fact - I once stayed in a suite above a studio just after Coldplay were in recording demos for what would become X&Y. The guys wouldn't tell us which room Gwyneth and Chris stayed in because they (correctly) assumed we would get weird about it. We made it weird anyway, but appreciated their discretion.
