Getting drunk all the time takes a toll on your body... I cant play shit when im drunk or hungover..... Poor Alexi is getting too drunk all the time and its fucking up his guitar playing.
Have any of you thought that maybe Alexi just prefers to not write music in the same style as his earlier albums? That perhaps he grew out of a teenage fad? How many of you can say that you have the exact same taste in music as you did 5 years ago? I grew up on metal, and hated all else, but now I've actually expanded my abilities by listening to other music. You still have the old CoB albums, you still have Tokyo Warhearts, so stop whining, cause at the end of the day, its his band, not yours.
if you think a band isnt gonna have a bad performance every once in a while you're obviously retarded and dont play any instruments... and not just that but live most of the time sounds like crap on video anyways because the sound is set up for the acoustics of the venue not for some recording
I think the sound recording didn't come out really good. Otherwise than that, I believe that the live concert was way better than what we hear. The keys were amazing!
Like BandClub said, it was hot as hell during this performance... I know myself how it is to play in heat and it ain't easy, so these guys haven't lost their magic, they are still going and are still badass!
This is why I refuse to write metal songs with my band. No matter how much I love the music and I love playing it, crappy performances like these are just not worth it. If you're tired/too angry/overly nervous, this is what happens. I love COB, but they can never reproduce what they've done in a studio in a live situation.
@phantomblue97 Have you seen bodom live? they were fucking insane, Im not sure what kind of music you "write" at 14 years old with your band. But band bands of all genres have bad performances. Sorry if the 97 in your name doesn't refer to your age.
No, I have never seen COB live for 2 reasons: 1. I live out in the middle of fuckin nowhere. Honestly, no one EVER comes to this stupid place. and 2. My parents are Christians and therefore hate any kind of metal. All I meant by my previous comment was that there are more occurrences of crappy shows in metal. I am by NO means saying that metal sucks, all I am saying is that I would never want to play it live. It's just my opinion, and no one has to share it with me, that's it.
@phantomblue97 You can't say that about an entire genre of music based on just one performance from a band that is notorious for getting trashed before shows. Go see a band like In Flames or Lamb of God fucking tear it up live. They make amazing records and back it up with performances that are just as good.
@phantomblue97 Their concert live in Seoul just after FTR came out was amazing. I think it's also like everyone else says, even though I hate to admit it, Alexi isn't what he used to be in terms of a live performer. Also, in big concerts like this, the sound recording system makes everything sound really weak. I don't know if it's a bad mix or what.
Yeah, I know what concert you're talking about. Their performance that night was really outstanding, and I enjoyed watching it. I think that people are getting the wrong idea about what I said earlier. It's not that I don't like COB (far from it) it's just that I think there is a larger occurrence of crappy performances in metal, as opposed to punk or rock n roll. And I mean they all look really tired during this show, so I think you're right about a bad mix or something.
This must have been day 1 in TO, and day 2 in Heavy MTL was the last day of their tour so they must been exhausted, they looked ready to drop in montreal. still great though
@Troblivion This was the only COB video to be posted on Distort Inc.'s Vimeo page. I simply ripped it from there. If there was a DVD, I would throw all my money at them in an attempt to purchase one. Sadly, it doesn't look like anymore footage is going to be released unless it's leaked. I'm really into concert bootlegs (especially HD) and if more ever shows up, I'll be the first to post it.
It was one of the hottest weekends of the summer when this festival happened and very humid, make no wonder the crowd and bands didn't move a lot. Credit to them for sweating it out though it was a great time. :)
I was meeting megadeth when they played this =/ i geuss i got to meet and awesome band with an equally awesome band in the background. im just a bit ticked i had to be so far back for their set.
@bassboy17290 by the time bodoms set was done, there were less than 20 people in line to meet Megadeth... i was going to do the same thing but i needed to see Bodom and got extremely lucky
@Tiff107 you sereious? i was like, in the middle of the line and i got out of the meet n greet van just as anthrax started. the line was still going during opeths set. very short but still. i think they let people still get the passes until Motorhead were on.
@aliknott123 yeah and you couldnt even really say anything. like, no pics and they could only sign that poster. i wanted em to sign my tickets (cause i went to the session with my dad) and chris was gonna but the security there were being jerkoffs and told him not to. eh whatever, we met megadeth. thats good enough.
@bassboy17290 dude i asked them to sign my ticket as well...and that dick head security guys did the same thing. also pissed me off how people were going around selling the end game cd for 10$...i was gunan buy one cuz i thought it would be cool for they guys to sign...glad i never bought one lol.
@aliknott123 security were assholes, we had to actually pay to meet the band, the cd preorder was a "bonus" or atleast thats what the person at the signup tent . and i was gonna do that too, but then i saw that they had a shitton of posters and knew something was up so i didnt bother lol
