Paul McCartney hits out at 'naughty' bands who play gigs with backing tapes

Paul McCartney has hit out at bands who play live using backing tapes - and vowed to never rely on them during his own gigs.??The former Beatle told the Sunday Express he was dismayed when his sound engineer Paul Pablo Boothroyd revealed many major artists rely on tapes for much of their shows.

Well, as much as I hate bands using backing tracks and guide vocals(yes you Coldplay), I think Paul should put his money where his mouth is, and put real horns and string sections on stage instead of Wix doing it all on a keyboard. No, not quite the same thing, but the backing tracks at least sound real.  Not to mention, Paul sure likes to "fix" those mistakes on his live recordings.
