Segue Myles Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah I am Laputa on that forum haha! It's been dead since about a month after Shallow Life. Head to Facebook for fan interaction! Yeah, I figured out who you were on that board Shallow Life killed the board off huh? That makes perfect sense actually. Yeah! I was one of many gobsmacked by that record, but I love it. DA brought back some interest, but I think by then most fans went to Facebook. I don't think it's the easiest forum to use, it's a bit old school! It's funny but as much as I like Delirium, it is the most lukewarm I have ever felt towards an LC album! I really like it but I have NO obsession! Still, I really love it for the most part.

Segue Myles Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I would love them to actually do Live To Tell in place of Enjoy The Silence. I am curious about Take Me Home or Ultima Ratio. I love those songs but I imagine they could sound messy onstage! Like those two a lot as well but you're right they could be messy live. Not sure how well Cristina could pull off the chorus to Take Me Home live. It's not a knock on her ability at all, the chorus is just sung in a way that could be very tricky to do live. Yeah that chorus could destroy her live! Amazed by it. It's like someone took a beyonce chorus from 2003 and added it to metal! It curiously works! But yeah, you need to be on top form for that melody. It would be best as an opener I think, as she is so energetic she tends to tire out by the last song haha!

Cristina is lucky she's got Andi to shelter half the vocal load live. Not sure if she could make it more than an hour on her own live. I'm not sure how to describe it but live she's in this very focused/possessed state and sings with such passion that it really does drain her by the end of the show. I've honestly never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly never seen anything like it. I find it so endearing. She has said many times that she is so into the performance she doesn't care if she isn't perfect as long as her passion is on display. It's also a reminder that she is self taught. She has a lot of bad habits BUT she is never boring! Sharon den Adel is my favourite live singer atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few have it or at least show it at the level she does when performing. Sharon is a great live singer. When I saw Within Temptation two years ago, all my friend and I could talk about after the show was how perfect her voice was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had been on my bucket list for over ten years before that. Alter Bridge when they toured for AB III. I saw Paradise Lost it was when they opened for Nightwish on the DPP tour and I wasn't a fan of theirs at the time. They were good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I am absolutely in love with Delirium. It took a while, but I am really connecting with the songs, and they are hitting me hard!

bluefox4000 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) So Delirium have softened to my ears. but the problem with it is........i can't pick out standouts. because of the sounds they went for it all blends together to me. the only highlight i can pick out is Downfall......that's great. this get's a 4/10. i'm giving it that high because what they aimed for they did well. it's their TA..........In that i'm glad they went different......but a bit of a failed experiment. with better lyrics, lol Mick Edited June 2, 2016 by bluefox4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wonder if they'll play any other songs off Delirium for that show besides the three they're currently doing? Would be cool to see a live debut or two. They're playing four songs off Dark Adrenaline still and five off BCH. Sorry but they're not touring for those albums anymore, time to toss some of those tunes and get some new ones in. Also, the outfits they're wearing don't make any sense if the set isn't heavy on the new stuff I guess I believe in the Rush/Iron Maiden kind of setlist where if the band has got good new material they should be playing it.

Maybe they are still rehearsing the new songs. Some of the new songs I reckon need a bit of work live because they could be a mess and something like this isn't the best to really risk getting it wrong. I adore Blood, Sweat and Tears but I am not thinking that chorus is going to be easy, or all of those layers of synths and guitars. But who knows?! Whatever they decide to do, I hope it works! But I do agree. But I remember a few years ago fans were crying out for old songs to be performed so I am finding this ironic but I 100% agree the focus here should be on the strength of Delirium (which I now LOVE).

J2112YYZ Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Maybe they'll slowly add in new songs as the tour goes on like Megadeth did for their most recent tour. Started out only doing one new tune and by the time I saw them a month later, they had five new songs in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
