This is satire when it's at its best. Quote: |
"Tying a scarf to a microphone stand is unfortunately no longer a marketable skill," IndustryWeek editor David Blanchard said. "To compete in today's job market, you need to diversify your skill set. Someone who can not only sing, but also play tambourine and haul heavy equipment, is infinitely more valuable to a company."

they are are now downsizing the whole band to two techs, who will be using this: 
and a very large projected image during live shows.
They expect to do a world tour in 2 months as the techs need time to complete the game on expert mode. |

Apparently for quite a number of these gigs Steve Perry was simply too drunk/stoned/phuct up to perform. But the band just went on as a 4-piece, and Joe Perry more-than-competantly sang lead for their entire set.
Anyone ever see one of these shows who can confirm this story? |

Their career was toast until the Run-DMC collaboration.
