The statement was made: "Trivium were god awful when they supported Maiden". Now, it may be that the poster (Nicolefury) simply doesn't like Trivium. But it's worth noting that some bands are good on record and bad live, or vice versa ... and even good live bands can have off nights. For example, I don't like Mastodon's records, but they were good live. On the other hand, while I love Dokken's records, they were one of the worst live bands I've ever seen - they actually got booed off the stage. (In their defense, they were following Metallica on Metallica's last non-headlining tour, and that's tough for anyone.)
