Bill H. Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiBcQeIax4g Here's the song that *ahem* inspired Alicia to write (or pi-write) that number. A big Akon hit from a few months ago. She endorses Yamaha but my guess is that she probably wanted to use a JP-8 because of it's rich history in music videos. She's no dummy. She also played it on the MTV awards. Maybe she grew up watching Duran Duran or something. But that part could have been done on practically anything.

A big Akon hit from a few months ago. I didn't note the resemblance before you mentioned, it's clearly there but imo Alicia's song is pretty much a blinder and Akon's is a bit on the naff side.

Naff(I was gonna call it pants)= of little redeeming value, also rather uncool and in this case corny.

ProfD Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 A. Keys has always showed up behind various vintage KBs in addition to the usual suspects. She's definitely a well-rounded keyboardist.

Bridog6996 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Usually when they do that, they place the sticker on the front of the keyboard facing out so everyone can see it, not on the face part facing the player. Doesn't seem to make much sense. Then again, the picture doesn't really show the front, so maybe it's there too. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcity Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Never noticed that! Am I the only one who thinks that Roland may react due to the misrepresentation of their gear?

mate stubb Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Roland won't say squat. It's her axe and she can do anything she wants to with it, including paint it blue. And no, the back panel doesn't have a Yamaha badge on it - I've seen a pic from another angle. All that is on the back is a large piece of black tape covering "Roland". I don't see the whole "hide the badges with tape" thing. What's the point? Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccajay Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I don't see the whole "hide the badges with tape" thing. What's the point? Must be an infringement issue somewhere in there.. Maybe it's only an issue regarding artists who endorse losing the contract if said artist endorses yammie, but caught on camera with Roland boards etc. Im sure somebody here's done those deals before and can clarify. Paul Shaffer was the 1st cat I ever noticed doing that years ago..before they built that spaceship around his rig. Now it seems to be the industry standard way of doing things if you endorse. TROLL . . . ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nightime Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I recall Paul Shaffer saying that since he doesn't get an endorsement from the manufacturers, he doesn't want to give them free advertising. That's why he covers the nameplates. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

Blue JC Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 The halls in my area get discounts on their pianos for stage exclusivity of their name on all keyboards on the stage. The stagehands always put black gaffer tape over my nameplates whenever I play one of these halls. Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer. W. C.

mate stubb Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hmmm. Sounds like another example of the finer things in life brought to you by the stagehands' union. If somebody tried to tape my keyboards, there would be fisticuffs. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I don't see the whole "hide the badges with tape" thing. What's the point? It's not really on point, but I used black electrical tape to cover the "S90ES" logo on the back panel of my Yammie because I didn't the look of the logo. Simple as that.
