Even Raine sings the wrong lyrics in IAH live now, because everyone always has. I used to yell the right lyrics as loud as I could until Raine started singing the wrong lyrics on purpose. Then I wrote Raine a letter telling him he was a sellout and that I'm selling my shares in his "Kool-Aid" stock.

I later came to realize the only address I knew was my own (upon receiving the letter I meant to send to him) and that I had no idea if Kool-Aid is even on the stock market or if Raine was even associated with it.

After that my life, hopes and dreams all just turned into me ending up with an Oprah addiction and shaving my leg hair into NEAT sounding German words... (although I know no German)

not necessarily. I'm sure there are plenty of live DVD's or otherwise officially released live recordings that, while mixed so everything is audible, it's all raw recording

I was too lazy to ready through all this, so i'm sorry if this has already been covered.

MANY bands put out real DVD's. OLP's made me lose a lot of respect for them. Queens of the Stone Age, aswell as the White Stripes put out EXCELLENT DVD's recently that were all real and although not perfect in all spots (see "Never Came" or the whole WS concert) they're great to watch and good experiences of an actual concert.

I hate to say it, but back in the day MG took a lot of flak for saying that OLP was really "put together" and mostly influenced by Arnold Lanni, I tend to believe him more all the time.

I appologize if i'm being an asshole aswell.

I'm actually really drunk.

I think it's dandy they mixed it up and overdubbed it and stuff.
Concerts are real cool and all, but when you're not there, it's not really the same experience. That "live" thing doesn't always transfer into a recording.
So if they're gonna make it sound better, I think that's cool.

Joe Cooler · Post by **Joe Cooler** » 8/3/2006, 7:07 pm

Right...but at the same time you could argue that what your listening to is really no different from a studio album.

AnnieDreams · Post by **AnnieDreams** » 8/3/2006, 7:13 pm

Sure it is.
Studio albums are rehearsed and polished and perfect and stuff. Take after take after take.
It may be a conglomerate of live recording, but it's still live recording.

I'm confused, were you arguing that there is a difference between OLP's Live and a studio album?

Because Live is a group of live recordings, which has then been overdubbed, edited, and had filters applied to the raw recordings until it was polished and perfect. This makes it the same as a studio album by your definition.

However, there are plenty of live albums out there that have not been polished in such a way (and still sound fine).

If memory serves, HIPT was recorded live off the floor. If that is so, then really the only difference between the record and the live album is a better sounding building without a crowd. Anyway, it really does not matter. I just appreciate bands who record a show and release it rather than recoding multiple shows and mashing them together. Nirvana Unplugged anyone? That was a good live record. Mistakes and all.

HIPT is very overdubbed, maybe too much. Recording multiple shows is fine, but it was/is kind of silly to pass it off as one concert. I agree with leaving the flaws in the recordings, with the exception of evil feedback (Pedestrian 2006-04-27). It adds integrity to the recording and makes the band real people.

The main difference I was pointing out was that while recording live no one could say "shit, that was a rotten take. Hang on, we'll go over that again and get it on key."

Really, I'm just sick of people giving bands and artists flak for being "sell-outs" more "put-together" or "less real" than whoever's in their current playlist.
Musicians have different ways of doing things. The White Stripes and Nirvana might have good live albums/dvds that haven't been edited or tampered with at all. Our Lady Peace has one that has. Both methods have merit, and it doesn't make a band "less respectable" to do either.
