LyraSilvertongue Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 it's what you call footage my dear. you don't always have to be there to know how good/bad it is. i recall they had to hire someone to whip their hair back and forth to engage with the crowd because kurt couldn't? Yes, footage is the same as being there. Ok, they weren't the most dynamic on stage, but 'terrible' is going a bit far. they were far from terrible.

Not quite sure what you mean here Do you not see that you can't judge a band's live performance by what you've seen on a screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareeh Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Not quite sure what you mean here Do you not see that you can't judge a band's live performance by what you've seen on a screen? i'd argue differently. most bands i didn't like the look of on screen were rubbish irl, and most good bands were good irl. anyway, it is said by many nirvana were not known for their live performances.

Ok, well I'll respect your opinion on the first point but I still don't accept that the blanket statement that Nirvana were terrible live can be made by someone who's nver been to one of their gigs.

Lupus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ok, well I'll respect your opinion on the first point but I still don't accept that the blanket statement that Nirvana were terrible live can be made by someone who's nver been to one of their gigs. I'll definitely agree with that... you can't say a band is bad live until you've been there. You can say that they don't look good, but you can't confirm that they're shit. HOWEVER, there is the obvious exception that if they can't sing well, or are using a back track and other such antics... if that's recognized through a video, then of course they're bad live But past the basics (actually being able to produce the songs properly live), you can't make such a strong statement truly based on a video.

Lupus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Where is Homme and Tom from Kasabian on that top 20 list? Ok ok, I haven't seen either live, but man those two individuals alone are motivation enough for me to want to see 'em! And they sure look like they love what they're doing in every video I've seen.

initialdylan Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Look, it's just a poll. Obviously there are differing opinions as to who is the best frontman; so just GO VOTE FOR WHO YOU WANT TO WIN. I'm pretty sure the majority of people here will not agree with you when you say that (insert non-Matt Bellamy name here) is a better frontman than Matt Bellamy. Expressing your disagreement in a Muse forum saying that Matt isn't the most electrifying frontman is analogous to going to the streets of Egypt two weeks ago shouting "All hail Mubarak!" Do remember that a lot of us have not seen other frontmen in action live, especially dead frontmen. Again, remember that you're in a Muse forum. So take it easy OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

initialdylan Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 You must not spend a lot of time here. You're probably right. Occasionally I do read some threads but I was just trying to tell people to loosen up! It's just an opinion poll.

MattXXI Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 NME should quit crushing over Bellamy already. Freddie Mercury, Robert Smith, Mick Jagger, and Robert Plant should all be converging at the top of this list. Iggy Pop near the bottom of this list too? Really? Not to say Matt isn't a great frontman, he is indeed, but he isn't the best. He has his own advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen Kasabian several times I can say that Tom in a great frontman imo... so much energy on stage and great at feeding from the energy from the crowd as well and interacting.

Uccellino Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Really? That makes a great frontman for you? Yes, they just have to do a dancey shuffle and that's it, I automatically think they're the best I really don't get the appeal of Freddie Mercury though. He was good but he never held that much appeal for me and I don't like his music anywhere near as much as I like Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccellino Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 He DOES say at the end of the post that it's HIS opinion. Different strokes for different folks, Sippe. Thanks for supporting my right to have an opinion. Despite the manly undertitle and avatar, I'm a 'she' not a 'he' though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footage doesn't make a difference, especially these days where live footage is often edited so fast, any band could just stand still and look exciting. And have you never heard of shoegaze? It was all the rage in the early 90's. Dave Gahan is incredible, so is Morrisey, I'll think of more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
