For Count and TKH, I don't get why if they have 4 guys that totally play guitar in the band they don't use it. Why tapes, keyboard guitar, or Another Hand?
As for the thread, yea it's no mystery anymore, it seems to confuse more people than it should. Backing vocals are all on tape, and JP sings along. And it's worth noting James is DEFINITELY actually singing every note you hear of his part, no lip-syncing, no exceptions (and no transpositions which is awesome). I also don't get why Jordan and Mike don't do the backing vocals- they totally could, and then we'd actually have a totally live show!
