@Conde Vilikhan That's because they were a studio band for the majority of their career with Mathias Blad as their singer. Their exposure was limited with him due to Mathias Blad's commitments to theater always holding the band back from touring. It shows in their stage presence. Mathias has very limited experience on a Heavy Metal stage and the last time they appeared at Wacken, Blad was sick and it showed. The rest of the band, even with the line up changes as a whole, has appeared on stage more times than Blad, especially when Blad left the band and even when he came back. Blad has one of the best voices in Heavy Metal but he doesn't have the experience or the power to sing over the band on stage live.

Rest assured there are many more who know to appreciate out-of-the-ordinary vocals and abundance of creative riffs in their Heavy metal! (Probably except born thrashers for whom anything else than a Bay area riff is not a riff, and folk undertones are deemed wimpy...). I find for the open-minded crowd, FALCONER are like the best kept secret (well maybe not anymore?). :) Btw, if you love FALCONER's rendition of folk tune (it essentially is!) "Par Tyrssons dottrar i Vange", you would probably find a lot of that goodness in their "really back to the roots" Swedish language album "Armod". Not sure if you've checked that one out, as you name exclusively favorites from their (legendary) debut album. :)

The lead singer has a career in stage and performance. It's because of this that this version of the band has barley toured. Blad's commitments to theater made it extremely difficult for the band to secure tour dates. Blad also never had actual experience performing and singing over a Heavy Metal band, hence his awkwardness. The only time the band had many tour dates and shows was when Blad left in 2003 and a different singer replaced him. When Blad came back in 2006, the band once again couldn't secure tour dates due to Blad's commitments to theater. The version that everyone loves is the version that has the least experience live on stage. They never had a chance with Blad as their singer.

Not every band can be Status Quo when it comes to how tight you play, but simply put this band is not playing together here.

@PatrizzaEatsApizza3 жыл бұрын
Your opinion and criticism is 100% valid. But I can somewhat excuse them, here is why: Mathias is off-key many times on live recordings because the vocals he was supposed to do is really not suited for live performance even for a highly trained pro such as himself. Even in studio these songs might need a few takes at least to properly nail the pitch and timing. The vocals of Falconer songs usually go up and down in a very wide range in a very short time, they use totally different songwriting from the usual metal bands. Everything is just off in this performance, the guitars are straight off terrible. But this is what Wacken wants and deserves every year, half-assed performances under 30 minutes. They are my favourite band but it's clear as day they were always a studio band and it shows. I don't think they ever wanted to do live gigs, I guess they did it only because it was part of the record deal, but this is really just my humble guess. If you check out their last performance with the acoustic songs you can hear that Mathias nails every pitch and note perfectly because the mixing is much better, he can hear himself and he can catch his breath when the tempo is around 135 bpm instead of the usual fast 170.

No problem, there is, after all, a difference between the terms "concert" and "show". If a rock or metal concert is also a good show - the better for it. :) But the music is usually what matters. Two more points: 1. Those big festivals are usually more about quantity than about quality of performances, as the technical support can be quite poor and hard to adjust between bands. 2. FALCONER are essentially a studio band who come out once in a while on a short tour or special appearance to the pleas of their fans. As such, stage presence is, dare I say, secondary to all concerned... (If we are talking about the "show" criterion, they are not becoming the next IRON MAIDEN for sure! ;))
