Thumbs down Synchronized Music on the Road

I keep hearing that Poison and a couple other large bands plan to synchronize their DJ trucks (so all man jack jumping to the same music). What is everyones take on this?

I for one ent too big on the idea. What happens if the main DJ is playing a pack of SH@#, doesn't that subject the rest of the band to having no choice but to accept it. Also to me it creates an opening for bubbol and ratch (like Trinidad needs anymore of that) to occur with the race for "Roadmarch"....Feedback allyuh!

They can't serious

Trinidad need more bobbol and "ratch" like Poison needs another green section.

Is that even possible? The timing would be off from truck to truck...Seems like a pretty dumb idea to me.:

The one plus to this is that you don't end up in a section with a dj playing crap, but as you say if the one dj plays crap then you can't even go to another section...

Personally if it allows ALL the sections in Poison to have music,,,it is a good idea.,...as they only had a limited number of music trucks last year and I ended up in a section that had NO music........PICTURE THAT
That is the only plus side I am seeing to that...and it is possible,,,HARTS has done it in the past.

a truck for every section
ARE U MAD
I hope u meant that each section should have adequate access to a music truck.
COuld u imagine 45 music truck in poison band
MADNESS.
I agree though that they should have more music trucks.....b/c right now the 5 truck they have for dem 45 section eh wukkin'.
and i also found myself at times last year without any music.
As for playing the same music....that's a no no.....i want to know i can move about the band to a hype truck when i feeling to jump and a slow pace truck when i feeling to chip.

Not 1 truck each section,,,but when you have 1 truck in front playing for bout 8 sections and then there is no music for sections in the middle when yuh on the stage......NAH THAT CYAR WORK,,,,as you said ,,,,ACCESS to music and coordination is a big thing as well ,,,,as in the past there was one music truck that played music for their section at the judging point and then rolled on out leaving the other sections behind with nothing......and it was a while before the next truck came...by that time they running yuh off the stage HMPH

That idea sounding real chupid...the point of different trucks (well from the masqueraders point of view at least) is to hear different music. When when DJ playing shite yuh can go to another and jump up....Synchronized music go sound boring!!

One truck for every 8 sections? : No wonder nobody ever stays in correct section.
Hmmm, well if that's the case I'm calling shot gun now for the back of the entire truck I'm not sharing it with the other 50,000 people playing in poison :p
