Are bands that use click/tracks even real musicians?

Recently, Polyphia's drummer, Clay Aeschliman, had every musician's nightmare scenario in which his in-ear monitors stopped working during a live performance, and he could no longer hear the click or backing tracks. And in typical internet fashion, everyone seems to have an opinion on how the situation was handled, and are even questioning his, and other musicians' skills for even using a click and tracks during a performance.

In this video, we discuss what click and tracks actually are, talk about how they handled the situation, I give my opinion and experience with tracks from a touring standpoint, and even give you the opinion of another professional drummer.
