I was talking about the clip I watched, Banshee... if it were any band other than Brocas Helm I don't think there would be much problem saying the playing there is not good. Being at a show is not about counting mistakes etc. but as seeing these clips is all I can go by this time round I'll put into words the feeling I'm left with.

To me the wrong notes at the wrong time can completely destroy the power of a certain chord progression or melody. Untight, sloppy and careless playing as well. I really don't see the controversy here (apart from the untouchable Brocas Helm being the subject matter). Their music is very intense and chaotic but also has great melodic qualities, a complexity and quirkiness that demands a certain level of performance to make it fully enjoyable in my opinion.

You may want to take into consideration that I go to concerts to listen to music primarily, not being much of a dancer (or headbanger as they say).

It depends. I wouldn't mind if SARCOFAGO played sloppier live than on the album, but I certainly do mind when OMEN are doing it.

actually Omen (Kenny that is) sometimes plays sloppier than you would expect, but still rocks and thats the point

That's missing the point to me, haha! Omen may rock but ANTiSEEN they aren't. Still, I should shut up. Guess we all have our own way of percieving the world and if some people enjoy themselves that's a good thing and I shouldn't interfere. Period.

I know he does, my example wasn't random. I expect OMEN to play more faithfully to the album, their style doesn't have space for any 'yeah man let's rock' attitude on stage IMO.
