Free Music Notes for Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live
Free Music Review: Good, but it could have been better
Hit: 4 Stars
Black Label Society supposedly put on a killer live show, so any attempt to capture that experience is well intentioned. And there's no question that they sound heavy on this, their sole live album, with Zakk Wylde pouring out a lot of energy both through his guitar and in his vocals. But I'm not sure this is the success it could have been, with some better production. It's good stuff, to be sure, but not quite as good as I want it to be (though I do enjoy his take on Ozzy's "No More Tears").
The second disc is a completely different story. Beginning with covers of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" and Black Sabbath's "Snowblind," this is a somewhat unexpected offering from Zakk & Co., but his renditions are strong and well thought out. The somewhat bluesy, piano driven "Like a Bird" is a well written song, that really demonstrates Zakk's songwriting chops. "Blood on the Wall" is strong, as well, though not so much as the song immediately prior, and as they're a bit similar the comparison is obvious.
Free Music Review: Sounds like a bootleg
Hit: 1 Stars
Very poor production. Vocals are poor compared to studio recordings.
Bonus new studio tracks were great though.
Free Music Review: wow
Hit: 5 Stars
zakk is definately under the top 3 guitarists of today. every song, every solo, is incredible. i hope we see more BLS albums in the future. Free Music Review: F&%$EN BLEED BLACK LABEL

Concidering how many concerts BLS has out on CD (ONE) this is a very good buy. Yes there are some Sabbath remakes, but they're pretty decent. Concidering its Zakk's killer guitar methods replacing Tony Iommi's. Zakks AWESOME use of something us guitarists call "pinch Harmonics or Wylde Harmonics" is great and plenty of. since Zakk Wylde made them so famous and to qoute Zakk from one of the live songs. on track six.

BLS are a great live group, but you wouldn't know it listening to this record. The mix is so poorly done that all of the power of the music is lost. Zakk's guitar is mixed dead center, while the second guitist is buried in the backround. The drums also have no punch. BLS's excellent live DVD (Boozed Bruised and Broken-Boned) solved this problem by using the AC/DC guitar mix of having each guitarist hard mixed to the right and left channel with well recorded drums. I would buy that DVD before this CD if you want to see the real power of a BLS live show.
