Re: \"Live\" Videos
Granted, the country song at the end isn't on my top ten list, but the rest of the album is unbelievably fantastic, IMO.
It depends on what you like in music though. It's such a subjective thing. I look for a vocalist, usually. He has to sound in pain, he has to sound anguished and hurt. Think Everclear. Lyrics can be very important. In the case of Everclear, they had to be, because Art couldn't sing. In other cases, lyrics aren't as important, as long as the dude seems like he is hurting and raw.
Obviously Live appealed to me in that arena, as well as in the percussionist. He didn't just beat out a rhythm, he really played those drums.
Glenn, OTOH, prefers Mental Jewelry. Go figure.
