Had this thought while discussing “Lightning Strikes Twice” in the Blaze thread...
What are some small flaws of otherwise good bands? What’s that one little thing that you can objectively say could be better, even if you love a band?
I’ll start with Iron Maiden and say: their live backing vocals are incredibly lacking. Adrian does good harmonies, but they occur so infrequently that they feel slight. Any time the band does a “shout along” section it’s very weak.
Disclaimer: this is meant as a discussion of minor flaws that don’t generally affect a band’s overall quality, not a place to rant about things you just don’t like about a band, i.e. “Metallica is great, but Lars sucks!” Speaking of them, I’d put Metallica sans Jason in the same category of sub-par live backing vocals.
