In the various Metal concerts I attended the bands were often beholden to something digital. As my musician buddy pointed out, "Digital is its own artform."
Certainly not all the bands did this, and I can remember one time when the entire band seemed out-of-sync with their Digital Overlord. The drummer delivered this massive, "THWOP!" and everybody got back in-sync again.
Besides Metal, Accoustic and Jazz love digital. But you can hardly blame Devin Townsend for ditching the digital clip.

Love that word THWOP…onomatopoeia at its best.Did you coin that word,Darrell?
I won't take credit for "THWOP" -- I suspect Don Martin from MAD Magazine reached this onomatopeia first (he usually did).
