As I already mentioned this week will be "Live album week". So I will have reviews on the following:
-Iron Maiden:Live after death
-Rush:Exit stage left
-Ted Nugent:Full bluntal Nugity
Plus these topics:
-What makes a live album good or bad?
-Who should have done a live album?
And maybe one other topic.
So to kick things off, what is your favorite live hard rock or metal album?
Kiss Alive. And Kiss Alive III.
ReplyDeleteit's a toss between your soon to be reviewed 'live after death', motörhead's 'no sleep 'til hammersmith' and emperor's 'emperial live ceremony'.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is definitely Iron Maiden's Live after death.
ReplyDeletehere's 3 cause I can't narrow down as well as you can.. Rush, "A Show of Hands", Aerosmith, "Live Bootleg", and J. Geils Band, "Blow Your Face Out"....sorry, mine aren't heavy metal. :)
ReplyDeletePeter Frampton Comes ALive - JUST KIDDING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKISS Alive. Even though a lot of it wasn't live.
ReplyDeleteI generally dislike "live" albums b/c they fail to capture the full live experience, and they are almost universally remixed or rerecorded anyway. That said:
ReplyDeleteKiss, Alive
Iron Maiden, Live After Death
Rush, Exit Stage Left
Judas Priest, Unleashed in the East

Fuzz and Strutter-Alive is on most people's list even though it's not really live.
ReplyDeleteJose-No sleep 'til Hammersmith is a good one for sure.
Onmywatch-Live bootleg is a pretty good album.
Steve-Alive 2 is my favorite live Kiss album and World wide live gets overlooked some times.
Layla-Never heard it.
David-I plan on discussing those things in some topics this week. I picked the Nuge album because it claims to be 100% live with no overdubs.
