Bands that rock your socks live but bore you on cd?

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah so i was thinking about this a second ago. The band hypocrisy always puts on a TERRIFIC show each time ive seen them (several times), but for some reason i cannot get into their albums, though i like a few scatted songs. Do any of you have bands that you love to see live but never really got into their albums?

I know this is blasphemy, but some Judas Priest. They have some totally fabulous stuff on CD, but a lot of them are simply Gunther-Thick-Neck-Thunka-Thunka stuff. Yes, they're Gods and they just don't ever disappoint live, but some of their CD's are just kinda ...simplistic.

while not completely sucky on CD, Savatage has always been a lot better live than on CD.

I agree with the Judas Priest comments. I've thought the same of Iced Earth, i love their live show, but on cd it can all sound so samey.

Have you heard all of Virus? Something is wrong with your head if that bores you.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Samael
Cathedral

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

Cattle Decapitation

 

[Reminiscence]

Hardcore bands. (I don't go to hardcore shows specifically, but they always play this yearly festival I go to.)

 

[Anvil]

GWAR!

 

[Larf03]

Symphony X ... never got into their music but the rock live!

 

[Dead_Lioness]

A lot of grind gore bands.. they would kick ass live but some of them, on a cd.... nah uh *shakes head*


I'd like to give the opposite example btw, Opeth kick ass on a cd,
but bore me live. go figure.

Tiamat & Samael

 

[ZANEX]

Dream Theater-great live, but I only like scattered songs on C.D.
Judas Priest-Great Live. Only Liked a few songs of the new album Angel of Retribution and Demolition with Ripper. Same with Painkiller, Turbo, Ram It Down
Iced Earth-Love the older stuff and Alive in Athens. Only select songs on Horrorshow and Gettysburg.

And believe it or not, and I'll get flamed and I hate this band, but KORN are pretty good live. I don't like their music, but the crowd and band interact pretty good together (Korn fans that is.)
