No. Not everyone does.

corianderstem said:Interesting about the drums on WOWY. What's the reason for having them prerecorded at the beginning?
Miroslava said:I've seen TEENY bands do so. Some friends of mine in a band used to have them too. They are not uncommon.
So yes, it's a generalization to say EVERYONE does it, but what I'm trying to say is that the usage of loops is not the end all be all that some people make it out to be. I guess The Church doesn't need them...

Thanks!
chocky said:On another (non-U2) website there was much talk about U2 lip synching at their Boston shows.
Several forum members (casual U2 fans) allege Bono lip synched Crumbs and partially lip synched at least 3 other songs. And they claim he was busted - big time!! Especially at the end of Crumbs.
They also claim Edge lip synched the backing vocals on a number of tracks - and pretended to be singing when Bono was clearly not in time with his pre-recorded lead vocals.
Can anyone verify these claims or comment on how much lip synching actually goes on at U2 concerts this tour.
I haven't seen U2 live since '97 (being an Aussie) but I've seen footage that suggests some songs have been played to backing tracks for both instruments and vocals - such as Beautiful Day (which had/has both).
And I've often suspected the Spanish call-out vocals in Vertigo were not really sung live by Edge (on the many TV performances).
I'd love to hear first-hand comments.

I read that Bono apologised for bad singing during Crumbs in Boston. I'd be fairly certain there's no backing tracks - why would be apologise for singing badly if it was studio vocals!
