That guitar almost sounds the same than on Still Life With Eggplant:Why is everyone judging before listening to the album? Sometimes it's sounds like some people are waiting for an album from a boy group. This is rock n roll. This is freedom. Not care about boundaries, stamps, drawers, genres. Just listen and love or hate. But listen first with a free mind. Peace.

@supernaut: I was first row in the middle (first show). Two free seats left and right to me.
And to jar you further on the nerves
, a snahisgod performance:So now please don't shoot at me because I critizise your (and also my) favourite band. I enjoyed the opera show as much as you do but for me their vocals just didn't do it.
Dave Grohl is surely not better technically (and I didn't compare the bands style, just what the singers get out of their potential). He just shouted his ass off for now over 15 years on various stages in the world and so got a pretty good voice by that.
He and also MP cannot and will never compete to naturally talented singers as Kurt Cobain, Robert Plant, Chris Cornell, Zack De La Rocha, Jon Anderson, Ian Gillan etc….
And I don't even care about that because I love the charming imperfection factor.
But it's sad MP doesn't do more out of it live because they could (like on their albums), imho.
Yes, not too much talk about this any more. Just want to add this: I love sloppy singers! For example, I saw Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan, Thurston Moore etc… but they just got the vocal energy on the stage. They tried to get the best out of it. When I see MP sing I always want them to be alot more up front in the crowds face and emotions because I know they can! It just ruins the so well written vocal lines live. More emphasis on the singing and this band would go even more far live because instrumentally they are still the best for me.

I saw the early show. All of them pretty high in the mix and they were excited of course. But you watch it and think:"Really go for it guys!!" When Snah or Stale sang Bent halfway "supported" them singing double a few inches from his mic. That made it even more sloppy for me…
A huge show, great playing of string and brass section, super solo violin, Bent and always motivated Kenneth being the groove monster, extraordinary light show etc… but: The singing was definately not good! It was hard to find any note they really hit and there was just no power behind it. Apart from everything else, which was just great (huge La Lethe!) I left with the thought that you cannot play in an opera house and sing as poorly as this…
