The Effect of Live music

[XacharyCross]

Judas Priest has generally been better live then studio (especially Devil's Child, as RB tunes go).

Dragonforce was even more laughable live.

Having played against (before their breakthrough) Sum 41 in a BotB and seen part of a live special on Muchmusic, they go from averagey right down to horrid.

And the Killers, the one time I've seen them live, Flowers couldn't even sing his lyrics properly, or remember them, or something.

After seeing NIN live, I really prefer listening to their live stuff over their studio stuff. And they became my favorite band.

Judas Priest has generally been better live then studio .

Good one. Totally forgot them on my list, seeing them live was what made me a fan. I didn't like them at all until I caught them live at a festival show.

If you're not Canadian, you probably don't know who I'm talking about, but a band that is really good live is Wide Mouth Mason. They usually play smaller venues around Canada and have been around since the early to mid 90's so I think most Canadians in their 20's would have heard of them.

The live videos on youtube don't do the performances justice, so I'll just put up a few of the videos. Keep in mind that these are Canadian music videos from about 10 years ago, so cut them a bit of slack if it's not what you're used to.

Cheers to anyone who decides to check them out.

I saw Iron Maiden on their A Matter of Life and Death tour and they played the album from start to finish and i fell in love with the album... but the Opening band was Bullet for my Valentine and i had heard one song (4 Words) before going and they totally kicked ass and i fell in love with their music after that

Saw the Rock Star Taste of Chaos in 08... Atreyu sucked ass didnt really like em anyway tho

Saw Biffy Clyro live, don't think I've listened to them since.

Went to a concert once where one of the opening acts was Another Animal. Checked out their studio stuff and wasn't too impressed. Saw them live, and it clicked for me.

On the other side of the table, I liked Blue October's studio work, a lot actually. Then saw them live, and was completely turned off to their music, such a terrible performance. No matter how much my girlfriend wants to go again, I don't ever plan to go

Can't say I've ever had that experience. Especially not dragon force...live or studio they just fail all the way around.
