Sigo a Revolver Magazine, de hecho, estoy tratando de
conseguir la revista con la entrevista final, pero ha me resultado muy difícil.
Sin embargo, el mensaje lo recibo desde el Compound, algo así como “hagan lo
suyo”.
Revolver hace una encuesta en Facebook sobre La Mejor banda
en vivo, contarán uno a uno los votos. Por supuesto, voy y pongo su nombre,
además convencido, es que no hay rival. Los resultados serán publicados el próximo
miércoles. Lo olvido, apenas es viernes.
El
resultado es justo, ganamos. Somos una guerrilla, un pequeño grupo de gente que
se cuela entre grandes bandas y posiciona su familia en el numero 1, atacamos
desde todo el mundo, desde Australia hasta Chile, todos los que tuvimos la
fortuna de verlos en vivo alguna vez, como los que los han visto solo por
Youtube, han puesto de su parte para derrotar a grandes bandas comerciales.
Son
los rezagos, sigue siendo el guayabo del final, pero que el mundo lo sepa, esta
pequeña banda de New Jersey fue la mejor banda en vivo del mundo.
Live, onstage, in front of an audience just looking for an excuse to
let loose all its pent-up energy — that is where a band truly proves its
mettle. Forget studio tricks and multiple takes — playing live strips
away all the bullshit and you have to either put up or shut up. And fans
are no pushovers. We will crush you with a "Slayer!" chant
without compunction if you smell of poserdom. But if you lay it all on
the line and deliver from the heart, we will follow suit. The bands
below have done just that throughout their careers, and their audiences,
too. We asked you to pick the single greatest live band of all time —
here are the ranked Top Five results.
Going
to a Metallica gig in 2018, the heavy-metal pioneers more than justify
the ticket price by giving fans a state-of-the-art multimedia
experience, an ever-morphing set list of some of the greatest
headbanging songs ever written, and an overwhelming sense of familial
belonging. Their performances have always felt larger than life — from
the time they were tearing up tiny clubs, to the days when they first
graduated to arenas, bringing Snake Pits, pyro and collapsing Lady
Libertys with them — and now their show truly is. And yet, somehow the
band never feels distant or detached. To the contrary, what really makes
Metallica so great live is how passionate they are and have always
been, and that passion is contagious, from the front row to the
nosebleeds.

Credit
it to a particularly epic case of second wind, but Bruce Dickinson's
energy is unmatched even at 59 years old. Add in perfect pitch and
serious commitment towards giving his all at every single live gig and
you have one of the best frontmen in the world, just one piece in the
puzzle that makes Maiden easily one of the best live bands in the world —
while pushing towards 40 years in existence. And Dickinson's brothers
in arms are no slouches, all playing super complex riffs while using the
stage as their own personal shuttle run.
Once upon a time — for a brief moment — Tool were small-club troublemakers, apt to shoot off shotguns and dance with scantily-clad obese women
onstage all while churning out their sinister, seductive brand of truly
alternative metal. Then MTV broke them big and several arena tours
later, they are a veritable prog-rock behemoth, whose laser lights and
psychedelic projections are Pink Floydian in their scale and
brain-frying capacity. To see Tool is to step into another dimension
and, for many fans, to never want to come back to reality.

When
Pantera were good, they were the best. No one could top the energy, the
fun, the fury, the hilarious banter, hijinks, all-star covers and
overall spontaneity, the tight musicianship, the old-school showmanship,
with Phil leaping off drum risers and inviting fans onstage for
scream-offs; Dimebag raising toasts and shredding like a motherfucker;
Rex unloading badass bass lines, cool as shit, cigarette in mouth; and
Vinnie holding it all together from on-high atop his throne. The stage
was Pantera's home away from home, and they welcomed fans to join them
there in a cathartic, tribal party to end all parties. Sadly, it came to
an end itself, and a tragic one at that, but when it was good, it was
the best.
When
it comes to irreverent, no-holds-barred onstage antics, none did it
better, or more boldly, than recently defunct spazcore innovators
Dillinger Escape Plan. Throwing sanity, restraint, common sense and the
band members' own personal safety to the wind, the quintet approached
each show as its own unique, arcane ritual, baptizing audiences with
blood, sweat and chaos. No one ever left a Dillinger show without a
memory — and possibly even a scar — to treasure for life, and a story to
shock, astound and horrify disbelieving friends and family with. DEP
bid fans farewell at the end of last year, as possibly the world's last
truly dangerous rock band, and they are already missed.
