How do music artists remember the lyrics?
So they have mics in their ear? I say this for some of the older bands, such as Iron Maiden, who had very intricate l.y.r.i.c.s., and long songs... not like the crappy five word sentences that keep getting repeated over and over in todays music...

You may just not notice them fucking up live. It happens.

but, sing the same songs over and over and you'll remember them. Then again, considering the drugs I am amazed at bands like phish.... How can the recall them..

songs like iron maiden has, have different parts, verse chorus...etc, the music helps you remember.

And some iron maiden songs for example tell a story so its easier, cause you just have to remember the story.

Based on my own experience, it really depends how long I've been performing the song. Early days I might have the lyrics visible on stage, sometimes just memory jobbers, the first few words of a verse for instance, after you've played it a few times you don't generally need anything.

We are wankers who wreck the planet an' piss on each other, 'til half the world's starvin' an' the other half's busy findin' new ways to keep from noticin' it. That's the fuckin' limit've our potential, believe me.

My main band is a Prog rock outfit, lots of our songs are 8-15 mins in length or medleys (one medley lasts 26 mins), it's a lot to remember at first, but again the story element is a big factor

The ear phone are 'in ear' monitors, basically it allows the singer to hear himself without being drowned out by the band, this way you can sing in key easier.

They don't always remember the words. Sometimes I'm singing with the artist on the radio and they totally get the words wrong!
