GOTTHARD – Live & Bangin’ [Japan Edition – Limited Release] (2015)

Another album highly requested album on these pages was “Live & Bangin’“, the limited edition CD released by Swiss hard rockers GOTTHARD this year.
“Live & Bangin’” was recorded during Gotthard’s Bang! tour in Baar, Switzerland, in 2014 and it was put on sale exclusively at the band’s website and for their FanClub members only.
But “Live & Bangin’” was officially released on CD in Japan by Marquee Inc / Avalon.

“Live & Bangin’” is a massive ‘thank you’ for the last four years, in which fans have kept the faith with Gotthard – because without them, there probably wouldn’t have been a future after the tragic death of vocalist Steve Lee end of 2010.

Gotthard’s Nic Maeder stated; “Live & Bangin will not be available in stores, but instead sold solely in the Gotthard fan shop and at merchandise stalls on tour, strictly limited. Exclusively for Fanclub members there’s a pile of CDs autographed by the band waiting to be unleashed.”
But as usual, the Asian market got the privilege to have the album released locally, though, in a Limited Edition.

There’s not a second wasted on “Live & Bangin’”: presented as an ‘official bootleg’ – but this is a mere classification to make it even more ‘collectible’, as the production of Leo Leoni is top notch – there are close to 75 minutes of the Tessin platinum rockers’ sound – unaltered, live and pure.
You could actually call its tracklisting a set list, because the songs on “Live & Bangin’” are a perfect cross section of the tour-show including a lifelike instant mosh pit in your living room.

Gotthard’s “Live & Bangin’” is a monster, terrific record. Fo those missing the early Gotthard bite and pure hard rock attack, this release is must. Everything sounds punchy and crystal clear with a separated instruments mix and perfectly balanced vocals.
Apart of being a collectors item, if you usually discard live records, try this; you’ll be blown away…
