Hmm... I didn't see this but I happen to know some guys who tech'ed for
Razorlight for a while. They used a Mellotron briefly for one song but
switched to a mockup with midi controller fairly swiftly.
Samples? Fine, I understand. Pretend Mellotrons? Get a life. You've got
knowledgeable techs, you might as well carry the real thing around. If I can
drag mine around in a VW hatchback unassisted then the indulged princelings
of rock have no excuse. I blame the parents. Bring Back National Service,
etc..
