Soilwork performing Long Live The Misanthrope @The Gothic Theater - Englewood, CO - 4/12/2013 *Note: Their guitarist on the right there was having cord/plug issue and his sound kept cutting out at times.
As per my description, their guitarist was having serious technical difficulties with his guitar audio cutting out for several songs that the roadies were trying to fix. Unless you are hearing some other "sloppiness" that I am not due to not being a guitar player I would not blame it on his playing.
Also, you can only hear the guitarist closest to you in the video. For some reason the sound guy panned them hard left and right. So you only heard both guitars in perfect balance in the middle.
I don´t blame them. They play shows almost everyday, it´s acceptable to boost yourself with some beer before a show. Also, maybe the guitar intonation was off...
one guitarist is out of tune almost every live video I've watched, so he can have as much technical difficulties as he wants, he's still fucking up... too bad, I am going to see the in November and i hope he gets it right by then
Have you seen their performance at wacken 2013? It's really cringe worthy... I'm not sure it was a sound problem there, just a poor performance, especially the "bald" new guitarrist.
