     Are you sure about that or just guessing?  I've only  seen a few
groups  that  were  tight  enough  in  concert and  followed an album
closely enough to make that work, and NONE of those are heavy metal.

     Don't get me wrong, I like metal  (among lots  of other things),
but I have few illusions about it.   The only  band I  have seen that
played that close to the sound  of their  album was  Boston, and that
simple fact made their concert incredibly boring  (to me  anyway).  I
know of other groups that are good  enough to  do it,  but in general
the live performance differs somewhat from the  album (classic Kansas
comes to mind, for instance).
