That was the first thing I thought when I saw this title. |
|
|
|
| I like the tracklist, only my fav songs... but Im not getting close to this, hate live albuns. |
|
|
|
| Jejeje.. Looks like I'm not the only one who dislikes to overuse the F word. |
|
|
|
I actually liked the album, though the vocals to get a tad much.
Tobi's manner on stage is the same as it is at any other concert. I think the tracklist is grand, and all this ego stuff is crap. They are doing their own thing musically, and their larger than life persona is supposed to be humerous. |
|
|

Good review, I think they have outstayed their welcome now. Their early to mid career stuff was very strong leading on to the first two Avantasia albums. But now Tobi's head has become stuck up his own arse. Rocket Ride sounded like Bon Jovi and Tinnitus Sanctus was only marginally better.
Although I did not dislike The Scarecrow, when you compare it to The Metal Opera, they have moved a long way from their original sound and not in the right direction if you ask me.
If Tobi enjoys himself with the newer sound then fine, but at what point will all of the fans say godbye. Is it correct to please yourself over the fans who paid for your big house? I don't know, you could say the same about Sonata Arctica after Unia. |

And just what would be appropriate? This is a great title for a live album. What are you a f*cking black metal fan with no f*cking humor? What should it be called the darkest night when Satan strangled a gardener with his guts? Or the Epic battle between two dragons of steel glory pride and warriors? Are you insane? I assume you don't like the title of the Gamma Ray live dvd either. I think you don't even like power metal. Then why the comment? You just wanted to show off. Great Job you did it Cheers! D*ck. You're Pathetic!
About the review:
I agree it isn't their best live performance and that Tobi's voice is not the best here but 5.5 come on man. I'v seen shit much worse here...
You are also right about Tobi being a gay f*ck in the recent past and ruining Edguy with this new "style". But 6.7 at least!
About the song selection i agree with Ellrohir. I also liked those songs. So thats a thing of taste.
Thats that.
Oh and Vitriolic Hate, Marcel Hubregtse and BloodTears. GET SOME F*CKING HUMOR!!! You need it... really.
Seems like the fanboy got his panties in a knot.
The Gamma Ray dvd had a decent title nothing wrong there.
But calling your album Fucking With F*** is just juvenile pathetic and not even humourous, unless you think jokes about fucking, piss and shit are the epitome of humour.
I don't like power metal in general that's true, but that has nothing to do with it. I DO like US Power and even a lot of Edguy's old stuff. But me not liking an album title has nothing to do with that.
By the way you blew your head off just now it seems like you're the one who needs a sense of humour. |

You want to know what's even more pathetic? Writing "F*ck" when you mean "Fuck". If you want to swear, do it properly or not at all. Just in case you haven't noticed, this isn't MTV.
On topic: "Fucking With F*** - Live" is indeed a non-humorous album title.
End of story. Roll credits. |

Hey, all you cool guys here, i have a message directly from Tobias
live with it, anti-flower metal crusaders  |
|
|
|
The first thing I thought when I heard this was "This guy really needs to visit a psychologist". But well, most of the people (and bands) who are successful at a young age start behaving like little kids when they grow older. Take a look at Children of Bodom nowadays and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Btw, I don't care about the title as long as the music is good. |

I see you people don't seem to get the point.It's not about the word f*ck being funny or not or using it cool or not. Damn. Am i the only one here who thinks it's a bit indecent to just call something pathetic or stupid that some other people might like?
everyone can express whatthey feel, they dont have to give a flying rats ass about what youre point of view is, if you ask me, its a pathetic name for an album and no, i dont hate power metal, pretantious fucks i hate, but not power metal, so pull that big stick out of youre as and deal with the opinions other people have. |

Although they try to be funny they are not funny. Please a song such as Lavatory Love Machine is totally not funny.
Loads of bands try to be funny but as it turns out they are musicians and not comedians. And this espcially refers to Germans."
There is a universal riddle/joke which holds a lot of truth to it. "Question: What is the thinnest book of humour in the world? Answer: The German book of humour."

Looking at the title over and over again, it doesn't even make sense on semantic level. |
|
|

I believe this "F***" stands for "Fire"...and try to argue with me on that  |

 it can also stand for "Fans" |

|
| But i dont know many Edguy fans who have problem with this DVD |
|

I love Edguy. They don't themselves seriously. Fans don't take them seriously. The only people who do are the people who hate them.
But live albums usually suck so I'm not touching this. Thanks mr reviewer! |

Shhh, they will hear you, remember the staff doesn't like the F word, they will come for you 
On topic: I lost confidence in Edguy a long time ago, nothing like their first album, THAT was Power Metal. They just lost their touch, at least IMO.
BTW, I found the name hilarious, yes, I'm simple as that.
@Ellrohir: You made my day with those pics hahaha  |

Hahaha, I wondered if anyone would think that. The last reviews are just the ones that I'd had lying around for a while, I'm all up to date now.
My next reviews will be generally positive (with the odd exception). I don't know how many people actually know about the reviews queue we have going, but you can see the upcoming albums I have in my hands to review here. |

|
| Dudes.. I facepalmed so many times at people who discuss the album title, even showed it to a friend - he didn't get the fucking joke and said 'how are they so dumb to put such an album title'. I don't really think its so funny but hell how can anyone find it offensive? So I explained it to him - the censored word is "fire" and the >funny< thing is that they censored "fire" but not "fucking". Damn it I can't fucking explain it to myself - how can a person think they actually meant "fucking with fuck" -.- |

I have to agree with you there. Edguy once again stereotypes that Germans have a terrible sense of humor. The band name already is terrible "Edguy" really? |
|
|
|
I only ventured in as the album title was so incredibly lame... pretty funny to see people defending lame, let alone flying off the handle about it.
personally, i think it's "Fucking with FAIL." |
|
|
|
| No matter how much shit you will put on them here or in other topics, i will still love Edguy |
|
|
|
| Meh, everyone has their own opinion. I actually loved the DVD, and the last two albums released by Edguy. |

your commitment and conviction is every bit as admirable as your taste in music is not. |
|
|
|
| It is so annoying, when other people have different tastes than you, isnt it? |
|
|
|
| Nowdays Edguy sucks really... |
|
|
|
What about "Down to the Devil", "All the Clowns", The Headless Game", "Hallowed", "Falling Down", "Out of Control", "Walk on Fighting", etc???
Are those songs forgotten by Tobias? |
|
|
|
Have you ever heard each concert has limited setlist?
unless it is Manowar's Guiness World Record breaking attempt with 8 hours or what lasting gig |
|
|
|
| Limited setlist... bloody hell they could come up with better than that!! |
|
|
|
Well for instance i only missing Kingdom and Pharaoh (yes, those mentioned by juanopereira are good, but i can live without them), while both those songs are a bit long for live performances (though they played Pharaoh in February in Prague)...i find the setlist very good - Vain Glory Opera (best song) is there, Land Of The Miracle (best ballad) is there, Tears Of A Mandrake is there...if I blame something from this DVD, it would be sound (sounds somehow "artificial" to me - from youtube videos i have watched)
but what i have noticed from vids (and from the live performance i have seen) what i love - i would swear Tobi's eyes are glittering every time, when he summons crowd and they respond...and i strongly believe this is the meaning of doing music - enjoy it by whole heart and have good feeling from it...not to earn money, not to create "intelectual" music at all costs... |

| You know what? I completely agree with this review. When I heard Rocket Ride I didn't know if to laugh or cry, and it's getting worse and worse. Not knowing how to crash the American market, they've dumped their European fan base (and from an interview I caught, Tobsboy couldn't give rats arse about it) and gone all Kyoto blooming Motel. This is probably the only way they could even dream of having a chance in the US. So here comes the make up and hair ironed at 90°C, in come the screaming 14 year old girls (and their screamo hormones) and buckets of money. The only thing Toby is screwing is his ego and his bank account...Fucking with Fire...right...he's probably terrified of a candle flame, worried about his make up slipping off if he sweats... |

Indeed. I was just really surprised, because most people just mindlessly bitch about stuff like that, but your rant was concise but said a whole lot in an almost poetic way. ;P Cheers and then some. |
