Bands for Rock Band that are Better Live

[queuemark]

I'm disappointed that the Pearl Jam live tracks have (maybe) fallen into oblivion. The live version of "State of Love and Trust" is one of the best drum tracks in the game. Live PJ has so much energy.

Blind Guardian in many cases is better live, or at least just as good as the studio.

For instance listen to Majesty in the studio and Majesty live.

You and your Blind Guardian.

The live version of Brian Wilson by BNL is a million times better the the studio version.

Rock Spectacle would be amazing for rock band.

It's so good to see all my friends in here.

If we ever get any Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band I hope to goodness we get live recordings.

[BohemianMatt]

Dave Matthews Band, I suppose. I'm not big on them, but that's mostly their schtick, right?

Where's the DMB guy?

[Marlboro]

We would have been much better off if we had gotten the live version of "Crosseyed and Painless" (Talking Heads) from "Stop Making Sense" rather than the incredibly dull studio version. Heck, Talking Heads in general has far more interesting live tracks.

Yes Yes YES, Agreed!

Every song on 'Stop Making Sense' is better than the studio version... and it blows my mind that a band can be that good live. If anyone hasn't seen Stop Making Sense you owe it to yourself to watch it.

[Runesmith]

Oingo Boingo.

I wouldn't consider the modern Maiden to be that great live.





When Blind Guardian's vocalist really tries to do well live, a.k.a. not "wimping out" on the higher pitch stuff and basically speaking it. He usually sounds better than the studio.


Also the solo's do usually sound better live for Blind Guardian. For example Majesty's solo in studio and Majesty's solo live

Muse

Their official live recordings are brilliant. Hullabaloo and HAARP are amazing live albums (and DVDs). Absolution Tour is just insane, since it was recorded at Glastonbury 2003 and was the band's first time headlining the main stage and they pulled out all the stops.

I actually think the live versions of their songs would be more challenging in Rock Band since the guys tend to wank about with their instruments periodically in concert. "Stockholm Syndrome" and "Knights Of Cydonia" are more beefier live than the studio versions. Even "Supermassive Black Hole" is more exciting live.

There's more to live tracks in RB than just the performances, and that's the output quality. This is rarely ever done perfectly, which is why I'll rarely prefer a live track.
