LOL!
Very impressive to know the Quest never used backtracks! I don't mind them with some acts. Bands like Rhapsody, eh, well, it kind of comes with the territory. Power metal and those really hifalutin, over-the-top bands kind of demand them... but a regular ol' heavy metal or rock band? Would definitely be disappointed. I guess it just depends, for me, on what the backing tracks are actually used for, if they're used as a crutch, etc...
