It could be cultural. Dunno about Iceland, but in Japan for example, sloppy playing is basically just not considered acceptable. Like any other job, one is expected to be on top and accurate ;) If you wanna see bands that play live reliably, check out Japanese music. Any genre, it's the same deal...

You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you. Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, There's nothing we can do Just let me go we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me Please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don't listen to a word I say Hey!
