live music vs recorded music

[Sek S]

i've already checked and, surprisingly, there aren't threaRAB about this

so do you like an artist and prefer the album version of a song?
or do you always only like the live thing?

like, songs can sound REALLY different...

for example, the first time i listened to Layla (Clapton), I didn't like it so much, but then I heard it live and thought it was great.. and it made me like the recorded thing, cause of the guitar in the chorus

anyway, post away

Studio easly, and i will tell you why, even some of the best live banRAB were better in the studio (The Who, Queen, Cream), in the studio there is more compromise and mistakes can be corrected, if someone ****s up live, they cant fix it...Plus some of the best studio banRAB are mediocre live, no matter how great they can be in the studio.

You always agree...

Would you rather I post the exact same thing she said, except with different worRAB?

[JennO]

Yes.

I would say live is better, because it can have those extended songs (not like the Allman Brothers) and covers. When I saw The White Stripes, Jack went into a slide solo out of nowhere and it was great. But if the band sucks live then studio is better. I guess that is just common logic.

[Lizzy :D]

iagree with the part how banRAB sound better in the studio cus if you listen to the album version of thesong and then hear the same song done live the album is far better but your not taking into account the experience of live music which, although not as good or usually as precise as a studio song actually standing there in the crowd can not be beaten by just slaping on an album in your bedroom, so i would go for live.

I hate when banRAB are better live than in the studio. If not only for the reason that you can never hear that sound again, then everytime you try and get someone into the band, they dont get hooked in as much as you did.
But meh. Theres nothing like a live show. You can play your perfectly recorded music as loud as you like, but it doesnt compare to live music.
Ill go for live. If they really do suck live, then thats not exactly the sign of a brilliant band..

I have been to some concerts, i couldnt stand the noise, i literaly had to cover my ears the whole time, too loud for me.


I have OCD and i have claustophobic tendencies, so i also have a problem with large groups of people.

Generally recorded. But that depenRAB on whether a band is good live. Iron Maiden live is sensational, so live versions are great. The live version of Fear of the Dark made it on to their compilation (Best of the Beast), not the studio version. That tells you something.
