Teleprompters are all the rage nowadays.

Ill start off with this picture.

Yup. Axl Rose, with a teleprompter. Now axl using it is not news to any of us. He has been using one since Guns and Roses was in its heyday but it seems that this trend has caught on.

One would think that when you write a song, it would hold some sentimental value, and you would like to remember it. Even when you perform it time and time again @ 100+ shows, you would think that it would stick in your head. In Axl's defense, im sure that the years of drug and alcohol abuse has done a number on his brain cells.

So want a list of people who use teleprompters? Sure ill tell you.

The Boss - Bruce Springstein
Jay Z
Panic At The Disco ( it was reported that teleprompters are being used on their headlining tour and they are being disguised as monitors.)
Nickelback (although who really cares, they arent entertaining)
Third Eye Blind
Black Sabbath
Justin Timberlake
Bjork
Depeche Mode
Britney Spears
Beyonce
Mariah Carey
Blink 182

The list goes on but it is pretty much anyone who has put on a big tour with lots of flashy things going on the background.

Well anyway, ill end on one more thing.

Go buy that. Build your own Mumble and buy his friends, and the soundtrack and outfits for your Mumble at the LARGEST Build A Bear Workshop in the world on 5th avenue at 46th street(or go to your local BABW).

Until next time,
Jimi
