We do a fair amount of backing vocals live. It is very hard on our level to get all that across in a live setting, which certainly is one reason why it will never sound as on the album.
But in almost every track we play live there is somewhere between 2-4 harmonies on every chorus plus extra harmony parts here and there, so we certainly do backing vocals live to. However, noone sings as good as TOmmy so of course it will never sound as on the album. But most poeple hear us more often on the album than live so I am ok with having it that way.
Examples:
Hide and seek, Taint the sky and Edge of my blade all have four harmonies on all the choruses, as do Not an Angel and Paradise.
Sometimes it is simply to difficult on the guitar for Johan to sing at the same time, some other time it is too difficult for Kyrt or Johnny (I don't sing).
In those cases we have 2-3 harmony parts, like Banish the Wicked or Unbreakable where the chorus on guitar is too odd to sing over.
