What he said. Exactly. I own a very few select live albums, which I primarily got to complete my collections of certain bands and I almost NEVER ever listen to them. But live DVDs I can't get enough of, I'll even buy them from bands I don't know very well.
Live albums are not pointless, IF the group is doing something on stage, more special than his music in the albums. Change the songs - jam - cover songs, etc. Dream Theater for example. Has anyone of you listened to the live album of In The Woods? No Well listen to it and say again "live albums are pointless". A Nevermore live album would be indeed pointless.
totally not interested in a live album. I am however, very interested in a DVD, something with studio footage, perhaps a making of and then some live and some music video thingy thrown in. Studio footage though, has to be there.
yes, but most bands dont do anything different live. thats why i said that they are pointless. and this is afterall, a nevermore forum.
Unfortunately, there's people like me, with no bootlegs. I've got distant memories, and hell, I can't put those on and hit random, or repeat. Need a live release. This is ridiculous, and uncalled for! NOW!
Actually, I was just reading an interview with Warrel from earlier this year in Metal Maniacs, and he said he is interested in putting out a live album. The bootleg comment would just be stupid. You can't even compare an audience recorded bootleg and a professionally recorded live show. Most of the Nevermore bootlegs out there are barely listenable. As far as I know, they don't even have any soundboard recordings.
Well, the bootleg comment was stupid, but if you read back in an interview or 2 and back on the board, he DID say that. I'm sure there's others here that can back me up on that. He said he's interested? awesome as for soundboard bootlegs... i have 2 or 3
Live album would be nice. A lot of bands sound MUCH better live, with better guitar tone, often playing songs faster, and just more energy. See: Judas Priest's Unleashed In the East, Kreator's Live Kreation, Blind Guardian's Live, any Overkill live material, and hell, Children of Bodom rages 10x harder live than they do in the studio. I think Nevermore could manage to pull out a good live album/DVD set.
I would really like to see them perform Dreaming Neon Black in it's entirety and make that a live album and DVD. Queensryche and Dream Theater did this with their concept albums and pulled it off very nicely IMO. Depending on the production job, that would be a good candidate to make it my favorite live album, even ahead of Queensryche's Operation: Livecrime and Iced Earth's Alive In Athens. Maybe they could call it Dreaming Neon Live or something.
Yeah, Dreaming Neon Black would be excellent. Hell, make it a double DVD. One with the full DNB and another DVD with 10 selected songs from the rest of their career. Holy shit that would own.
I had that idea a while ago too. That'd be fucking GREAT...a short set of other songs, the whole DNB album, and then an encore of three or four more Nevermore classics.
Yeah that would own. Something like this would be beyond awesomeness. Short regular set: 1. The Seven Tongues of God 2. Seed Awakening 3. Inside Four Walls 4. The River Dragon Has Come 5. Believe In Nothing 6. Enemies of Reality 7. Optimist or Pessimist 8. In Memory DNB: 9. Ophidian/Beyond Within 10. The Death of Passion 11. I Am The Dog 12. Dreaming Neon Black (/w female vocalist) 13. Deconstruction 14. The Fault of The Flesh 15. The Lotus Eaters 16. Poison God Machine 17. All Play Dead 18. Cenotaph 19. No More Will 20. Forever (only Jeff & Warrel on stage) Encore: 21. This Sacrament 22. What Tomorrow Knows 23. Politics of Ecstacy (including the überthrash section) 24. The Learning
Wow, I didn't know that there were any soundboard bootlegs of Nevermore. Are they available somewhere on the net?
I may want to take you up on that offer. I'll scrounge around and see if I can't trade you something in return. I can't take without giving something, it's not right... thanks DSM, very kind of you to offer
I'd dig a DVD BIG time. That would be so cool...and Nevermore is one of the very last bands to do that. Today, a band with only one album are still putting out DVD'S. Nevermore are totally tight asses on the DVD thing. It's inexcusable in todays music industry! Uncalled for, making your fans beg for stuff, never giving in, barely acknowledging they exist. BOO! we need a christmas DVD, got it?! ^ Satans Mom moment, heh. so what!?
they pop up on Direct Connect every so often... look for the 2004 Wacken and 2000 Bottleneck Lawrence Kentucky one
