I'm surprised that Michael was the one to forget the parts, cause he really wasn't a "virgin" to stages anymore. Of course, there's always some pressure on these guys, especially when it takes so much talent to play these songs. Got to respect them, even though they didn't play it 100 %. Today, their performance is outstanding and really marvelous to watch.
I think Liiva fits all these songs far better than Gossow ever will. But Liiva, like some stated and I agree, isn't really a performer.
Yeah, I think that Arch Enemy live today is definitely not a letdown. But I'd still prefer Liiva singing the vocals rather than Gossow and that's because I think that Gossow butchers the old classic songs like Silverwing with overdoing the "brutal" vocals.
I bet the 1 person thumbs down'd because they realized they never have and probably never will get to see AE with Johan, LIKE ME!!!! But srsly I've listened to some of The Root of All Evil, and I prefered the originals. I'm not an Angela fan but its not like she came and AE started sucking, they just changed a bit, and its probably more to do with the rest of the band wanting to try new things.
@doomista2007 I agree, This guy is good. But i perfer the newer more improved arch enemy with Angela. I see many comments of people saying " Arch Enemy sucks with out johan ", isnt it strange how Arch Enemy got alot better once they kicked johan from the band. Arch Enemy Rules WITHOUT Johan.
There's no real enthusiasm behind Johan's performance. If you want to compare vocals between angel and Johan, it'd be unfair. Considering Angela is female and the band wanted a change, not a replacement. You want to compare the two, compare them in live performances, and in that category, angela takes the cake. Angela brings it every night and entertains the fans. Some of these vids with Johan see so dull. If it wasn't for the great music, I'd stop watching immediately.
Liiva has a awesome voice, very unique... in this track he give the best of his talent... I don't think that he or Angela are better, they both have different styles... i'm a huge fan of arch enemy, so i enjoy both eras :D
@linkleonhart123 finally someone who thinks the same as me... I totally agree with your comment, I think it's stupid to say someone is better than the other, that's not a true fan
have you heard the same johan liiva I did?? That guy barely growls, his growling sounds like a mixture between grunts and rap...I love Fields of Desolotion, too bad it didn't make to "The Roots of all Evil"
@sicksalvation por muy fome que aya sido nunca arch enemy va a volver a lo mismo ahora quizas tengan puesta en escena pero ya no es arch enemy no tienen niun brillo
Liiva pudo haber hecho un buen headbang po wn... se quedo tieso y levantando las manitos como un weon no mas... a cada rato decia "O.K..." aaarghhh!! :@
bueno, eso no importa mucho.. al menos es uno de los mejores recitales q he visto de Arch Enemy...de hecho, el unico que he visto con Johan Liiva
Old Arch Enemy has soo much better guitar work, Stigmata is there best album, however Gossow is the better vocalist of the two.. AE should just play all their old songs live plus some new songs like Savage Messiah ^^..
I agree, but there are some really awesome tracks on the new material I wouldn't want to miss in a show. but the rise of the tyrant album doesn't give me much
Oh I wouldn't say that, she isn't much of a death metal singer but wages of sin and anthems are still pretty cool albums in a musical way, as far as I think
estoy de acuerdo... Arch Enemy tiene mucho mejor voz en vivo y no solo eso, sino que Arch Enemy ahora es solo una banda para metaleritos, ya no tiene ese sonido Death Metal. Sus letras son amariconadas.
Creo que el verdadero Death Melodico esta en el Arch Enemy de antes.
Johan is awesome because well...he was in the begining...and he does take some getting used to, but his live voice on the burning bridges CD sounds badass.
And i love angela because she is a beast with vocals, and she is gorgeous
FUCK Angela Gossow! She sounds like a fucking person with a throat infection trying to sing black metal. Thanks to those stupid dumbass Amott brothers, Arch Enemy is ruined now!
i swear this is the best song ever! black earth was the best metal album in the history of metal! this song is just man i dont know too great...hail arch enemy!
Fucked up solo...STILL FUCKING AWESOME !! The Amott brothers are the best.
