Favorite Live Metal Albums
Jamming live albums this weekend. Some of my favs. Recs appreciated. |
| 10 |  | Opeth
The Roundhouse Tapes
Better than Lamentations. Live Opeth is better than studio Opeth no matter what
though. Worth it for the great performance of Ghosts of Perdition alone. |
| 9 |  | Cannibal Corpse
Live Cannibalism
Best versions of Hammer Smashed Face, Stripped Raped & Strangled, and Gallery of
Suicide I've ever heard. Runs a little long though. |
| 8 |  | Iced Earth
Alive in Athens
Way better than any of their studio albums. Jon Schaeffer was in fine form this night. |
| 7 |  | Nevermore
The Year of the Voyager
Excellent live recording. Missing a lot of essential songs, or I would like it more. I
wish they would have played more older songs like Seven Tongues of God instead
of some of the filler from This Godless Endeavor. |
| 6 |  | Vader
And Blood was Shed in Warsaw
Great guitar tone and the solos are excellent in the mix. Runs a little long for me or
it would be ranked higher. |
| 5 |  | Exodus
Another Lesson in Violence
Live recording of the entire Bonded by Blood album. Great riffs, awesome solos.
Better recording with more energy than the original. |
| 4 | | Suffocation
Close of a Chapter
Great recording, excellent guitar tone. This version of Funeral Inception is
absolutely crushing. |
| 3 |  | Pantera
Official Live: 101 Proof
Captures the energy and commraderie of a live Pantera show. Phil Anselmo is great
between songs as well. |
| 2 | | Ozzy Osbourne
Live & Loud
Highlights of Ozzy's solo and Sabbath career with Zakk Wylde on guitar. Ozzy's
between song banter is great. |
| 1 |  | Slayer
Decade of Aggression
Contains songs from every release up to Seasons in the Abyss. Great sound, great
energy. No essentials missing, IMO. |
