Live Review : Live in Cologne 2005

*cough*
Well, I have absolutely no idea when and what for this live was recorded... Since it's not a DVD, I would hazard the guess that it was for a TV channel, and given the title, it was recorded in Cologne in 2005, during the Schrei Tour.

Review

This live show is at the same time not so good and yet quite good.
Bill is trying to sing with his "newly dropped" voice songs that were written for his "little boy" voice, so, uhm... Yeah, it kinda doesn't always work. When you're used to the CD version of Schrei especially, it's a shock, partly because it's not the high-pitched voice you expect, and partly because well, even the vocal melodies changed, sometimes on purpose to fit his new range and sometimes he just can't hit the right notes.

So, yeah. That's not the show I would pick to demonstrate to random people that my shiny teenage band rocks. Except they do.
Okay, technically it's not that spectacular, but... Have you seen that venue? It's huge, and yet the boys rock it easily. Say what you want of the band, but they are consumate stage professionals.
My new fandom is shiny and cute and so brave and such an attention whore!

(I'll be more specific some day).
