Great band with what seems to be a bad live performance. Get a real guitarist and focus on singing mate!

[@solacematt]

This is actually a good performance, that's why I posted it. I think people thinking that bands need to sound exact to how they are on recording is what's hurting bands

[@cinnah]

@@solacematt what do you mean this hurts the band. Of course I would expect them to at least sing the highlights of the songs. Manage their instruments properly. If not, find additions or replacements for their band.

[@solacematt]

@@cinnah This is pretty much how they sound on record. Why would they find other people to play the instruments, they aren't a pop band, they're a rock band. What I think hurts bands in general is people thinking bands should sound just like they do on albums.

​@@solacematt I would definitely expect them to show some quality in a live performance. At least they should perform better than a regular band if you keep in mind the serious amount of money I am paying. And they do not sound like this in their album or original videos: - I can hear the 2 guitars easily in their records, - Singer checks the guitar while changing chords which make him miss certain parts of vocals, - Singer sometimes focus on his guitar and sing with lower quality or vica versa. Some people can sing+play like Hetfield. if you can't, don't. And I do not agree with you, this is all about the vision. Iron Maiden has synths in many songs, they include the synths in their live performances, but they do not have the player as a permanent band member. They just pay someone good. You either do not care much about the quality (which is a horrible reason), or you are being cheap. Make your pick because having an external guy accompany you during tours would not affect your internal dynamics.

@@cinnah Keep in mind this is also a radio show with a dozen bands on a revolving stage. One band finishes, the next one starts 3 minutes later, so no true sound checks really. The band puts out albums that are meant to be performed as a 3-piece, very little extra noticeable guitar work, and when it is its usually just a melody line. You can't really compare a band like Metallica to Chevelle; they are a two guitar band who have mega money and production behind them.
