which song seems most difficult for the band to play live?
« on: July 06, 2019, 10:47:06 PM »
I always thought whenever HIM played gigs, Burton would have trouble catching up to speed on The Sacrament.

which other songs do you think Ville or the guys had trouble with?

I haven't noticed anything strange about Burton's keys on The Sac live, but I'm sure it's a hard one for Ville to sing. I remember some 2004 performances of the song that aren't so good.

The guys are VERY tight players, they never seemed to have much problems with the songs. Of course they make mistakes, but that's a different thing. Back then when Gas wasn't using click tracks, some tempo changes would happen during the songs sometimes.

One of the most challenging songs is probably BABL. I think it took a while for Kosmo to get the kick hits right. Songs with faster tempos are usually harder to play, for example Soul On Fire, Under The Rose and the faster songs on Screamworks.

During the Sacrament, particularly in 2003 Semifinal, and RAR 05, It takes him a few seconds to catch up to speed

You're right, Linde does mistakes very rarely. I've heard him play a wrong note during the solo of FOH one time when I saw them live ;) Another one which comes to mind is Kiss Of Dawn at Finnvox 2012 when he plays a flat note during the solo.

Check out Pretending from Waldrock 2003, Burton accidentally plays a major chord instead of a minor during the intro XD

Gas sometimes hits the wrong cymbals, like playing the hat instead of the crash or something.

It's kinda impossible to notice or find a fail from Mige.

I know burton messed up razorblade during the Vegas gig in 2014 and Linde during FOH in 2003 at maxidrom during the solo.
Funny,  youd think hili would have edited any flaws during the Finnvox session.  I noticed Cosmo also messed up some beats during the farewell tour,  especially during BABL.
