In Flames - The Jester Race live

[MC7283]

@Blightning288 technically by definition In flames is now a "alternative" metal band.. which means they have elements of metal and alternative rock..another of my favorite bands is in this genre.. (slipknot) and i have never seen so many douches whine about in flames "genre".. they seriously kick ass.. old and new.. i personally love all their stuff. Genre doesn't really matter to me.. i just figured I'd give you some clarity on that.

[cromms]

i wish i had witnessed this time where inFlames were that awesome... but i was too young >.<

from which dvd are these live performances??

[ostarasang]

@cromms DVD? u r to modern dude - this is off a VHS called Live & Plugged, which was released in 1997 :)

[cromms]

@ostarasang thanks for this information:)

i have to get this awesome shit \m/

[jbohler33]

lol i forgot they used to be an actual metal band

[posanpo]

the solo is incomplete D:

[Pablvloh]

in flames was the greatest band in melo death, but now , i don't know, i suposed they are seems like a post hardcore band

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Where is Jesper Strömblad?

[inflamesmetalll]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 2:30

[Deathmar88]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01

the blonde guy on the left.

[DangerousHabits]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Playing Drums!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@DangerousHabits

NO dude.....Björn Gelotte is on the drums here and not Jesper.

[InsArtTure]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01

Well, just there on the left. :) Playing the guitar. And the solo in this one.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@InsArtTure

Now i can see him. He was never very present on live shows or on interviews. He never talks. He was always quiet. But he produced a fuckin shitload of classical Melodic Death Metal this times. Great musician.

[InsArtTure]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01

Yeah, there are very few people I could cal geniuses and he is one of them.

And yeah, he was always quiet and absolutely not social. I'm really impatient to see if he's gonna make something new soon.

[BillakosDM]

NOT LIKE!!! LOVE IT!!! \m/

[shreddintheaxe]

It's a goddam shame anders voice doesn't sound nearly as good as this anymore

[Ozaq124]

@shreddintheaxe you do know this ain't anders right?

[inflamesmetalll]

@Ozaq124 you do know this is anders right?

[Leewander]

@shreddintheaxe Lol, this is srsly not good... on the album it is great, here it just sounds to strained. His new vocals are better live, but he was probably best around 2000-2001, look for Bullet ride finland 2001

[shreddintheaxe]

@Leewander ehh. in flames were pretty good on mayhem fest this past summer when i saw them. but damn they were so much better back then.

[eyeslikedeceit]

@Leewander The Tuska performance? Oh yeah, that's a really great live performance. Depending on the year this was, he may have had just started in In Flames...He was in Ceremonial Oath and Dark Tranquility, but he was also very young at this point.

[giorgos93]

his vocals are absolute in this live he was one of the best death metal singers

[Gurgum666]

This is how metal should be! Honest musik which comes from your heart and composed with passion and not such shit in flames makes nowadays! Their stuff since clayman is only heartless musik for the masses, composed to earn money!

Their epicness is simply gone...

[Leewander]

@Gurgum666 So you would call My Sweet Shadow, Touch of Red, Take This life etc heartless? get a grip dude... My Sweet shadow probably has the nicest melody and best lyrics of any In Flames song...

[episode666killer]

Anders said the name of the song so bored but sang his heart out lol

[stereotypical213]

They cut out half of Jesper's solo =(

[sunforger9087]

This song is about perfect..

Wish Anders hadn't gotten a midlife crisis, turned emo, and destroyed In Flames >:

In Flames we trusted..

[oohwyeah]

Dude anders isn't emo, if he was he wouldn't have dreads and would wear his hair in front of ONE eye

[sunforger9087]

@oohwyeah

Ok, so he isn't Emo, but you agreed on the part about midlife crisis and destroying In Flames? glad we agree on something.. And being emo doesn't mean you have to look like one >:

[oohwyeah]

@sunforger9087

well no, I don't agree, the last album was really weak but there are more members in the band so you should blame them all!

and if a emo doesn't look like an emo then he or she is just really depressed, and that I wouldn't call a emo ;D

[Sirthomo111]

@oohwyeah Anders does not have dreads anymore.. he has short clean hair and a clean perfect shaved beard.. he has turned Mainstream and it annoys the fuck outa me

[oohwyeah]

@Sirthomo111 maybe he just didn't want his dreads anymore and just lets his hair grow again, but yeah he looks like shit now

[nicoh]

@Sirthomo111

You understand that in flames turned mainstream long ago. Nothing to do with his hair or beard.

[MetalheadMcAdams]

I really wish thats In flames would make a DVD live playing all there Old stuff and Anders using his Old growl just at least one more time for a good quailty DVD to watch over and again. That would be fucking awesome.

[oohwyeah]

I think his grolw would be like the growl on the live version of f(r)iend like he did on the used and abused dvd....

he was probably using a wrong technique or something that's why he changed it, atleast that's what I think

[xPyrielx]

@MetalheadMcAdams You forgot about Anders dreads. He should cut them off.

[MetalheadMcAdams]

@xPyrielx haha yea but he would look weird on stage with short hair he couldnt do Headbangs and windmills

[inflamesmetalll]

@MetalheadMcAdams Anders doesen't have dreads anymore.....Just normal, short hair.

[MrSpaceMan1000]

@inflamesmetalll What??

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@inflamesmetalll

Why is short hair "normal" for you?

[inflamesmetalll]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 wtf??

[FlamingAntelope667]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 He didn't mean short hair was normal, just that he has normal looking short hair now...

[mok0s1]

awesome

[S0LDIERsix]

He sounded so much better younger :(

[ryphil4]

i think they should just get a full time keyboardist.. when they go over the keyboard parts with acoustic, still pretty cool, but still.

[r1chie311music]

@ryphil4 then it would be children of bodom lol

[Lolcat510]

he sounds like he blew out his voice. here

[oohwyeah]

I totally agree

[saket08091]

why dont u try?..go ask Portnoy for a job..im sure he'll take u in...

[noudge]

this is the day of his career of finding his real comfortable voice. Probably that why Anders shifted a little higher pitch on suceeding albums after this. Studio recording are abit diffirent than playing live. He's really fucked up doing with this kind of voice live, obviously.

[Tuchan]

haven't in flames won awards for best live act??

[sacrometal999]

but the singer can sing very better in the cd version, anyway i think that one of the best live bands still maiden because dickinson allways have a bertter voice, they rox, for black/death metal i think that dimmu borgir has a great live performance and amon amarth to!

[MadMetal95]

amon amarth not death/black metal noob

[sacrometal999]

hahhaa STFU little kid, they aredeath viking metal and the singer also said that they are death and what's the matter with noob? we aren't playing a game here man so fuck you poser!

[GameGuy360]

there is no such thing a viking metal. amon amarth is melodic death metal with viking lyrical themes.

[sacrometal999]

sure you're right because of that i said viking melodeath metal XD

[SolidA]

Actually there is something called Viking Metal... Check out Bathory's album Hammerheart. That's what most people call real viking metal

[DrScottPnussEnvy]

This is back when in flames was good.

The vocals are rough because they haven't sold out yet.

[tehmoogles]

Or maybe because Anders' voice hadn't got shot to pieces yet?

[DrScottPnussEnvy]

He still does this, but he stopped to prevent it from getting shitty.

He's what like 22 here? You cant kill your voice that fast, look at someone like George fisher whos almost 40 been doing growling for over 20 years and he hasn't gotten effected yet.

And yeah I know it's different styles, but it takes more than a few years for that.

[sacrometal999]

i love this band but they suck live!

[LOLHICRONO]

they don't, look at more videos. this is really fucking old.

[sacrometal999]

ok aybe you're right

[JewsInUranus]

this video is about 13 years old. to check out the full concert -- google videos:

In Flames Live In Aschaffenburg 96

I will say that anders vocals is very rough on that concert.

[xSch3p]

correct, bjorn is on drums

[hustenmuffin11]

i think his voice is better now....i think that in flames is better now...

[scumfuc616]

i think your gayer now

[CanadianPride8]

Bjorn is on drums during this time right?

[sum41guy]

Yeah, until the Colony album. Then he switched back to guitar which was his main instrument.

[stormlightsbane]

Anders had a really good voice back then

[Sirthomo111]
