thats the difference between studio recordings and live music dude, live music is constructed at that moment, fuck ups and all, thats the brilliance of it.

I don't think people will give you shit on here just simply for not saying the show was brilliant, I just they just think yr a tard for saying that Adam is basically a moron for fucking up a simple guitar part. For a band with as many different keys, time signatures, patterns, moods, etc, for him to make a few mistakes is completely acceptable.

Live musicians who play with passion and heart is what I want to see, not live musicians who play with such fear out of maybe not being 100% technically accurate - are fucking robots that I have no interest in seeing.

If you want perfect musicianship, go see Yngwie Malmsteen and if he fucks up a diminished 7th minor, kill yourself out of disgust.

Adam is an artists, artists arent perfect. I'm sure you've messed up a guitar solo,. or raped a pack of underage girls in your time. We aint perfect mofucka.

Um, sure, ok...its just in my books, a GLARING fuckup at the end of a song that up until that point had been absolutely amazing, IS a bad thing...by your logic that live music is about "fuck ups and all" then a band who fucks up a lot is truly awesome as long as they play with passion. I pointed out that Adam fucked up a few times and it diminished the quality of the concert slightly for me...and someone called me an asshole...so its fine to fuck up, but it makes the song worse...don't see how you can argue with that.

Perfect musicianship combined with passionate writing is what makes great art...so that rules out Malmsteen.

And yes, I have messed up guitar solos, many times, and every time I did it made the song worse.
