CRAZY LIXX To Release First Live Album In July

[All Nights Reserved]

 

Swedish hair metal outfit Crazy Lixx will release their first live album, Sound Of The LIVE Minority, on July 8th.

 

Coming out of the Swedish hard rock scene - with influences from bands like Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, KISS, Whitesnake/David Coverdale, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe - Sound Of The LIVE Minority is the band’s first live album, coming after four increasingly successful studio albums.

 

”It’s a milestone for every rock band,” says lead singer Danny Rexon. And a milestone it is, in more than one way. On the one hand, it is the perfect record to sum up four studio albums and more than a decade as a touring band in an hour plus documentation of energetic, live rock n’ roll with the very best songs from their catalogue and most requested fan favourites. On the other hand, it also marks the end of the band’s most successful lineup, with guitarist Andreas Z Eriksson (now with british Hard Rockers Inglorious) as the lead guitar slinger. This live performance was his last show with the band.

 

“We wanted to release this live album both to mark an end to the old Crazy Lixx, as well as a statement of a new beginning for the current lineup. On this show, Jens Lundgren had already taken over the guitar duties from our former guitarist Edd Liam so in a sense this gig represents both the old and the new,” says Danny.

 

The album was recorded at Bang Your Head Festival in Balingen, Germany in July 2015 and has been mixed by Chris Laney who has previously been entrusted to mix live albums for Europe, Talisman and CrashDïet, among others.

Pointless.

This just made my most anticipated release for 2016!

Doesn't belong in AOR and Hard Rock but rather ''Dumpster Diving''

 

Which label will this be on, Frontiers?

[Stefan]

Pointless.

 

Yep. I agree.

Yep. On Frontiers Music srl as they are known these days.

Oh yes!! I can't wait... for my toenails to grow. So I can cut them. Because I'm more interested in cutting my toenails than I am in ever hearing this album.

[tts42572]

Agree.

 

I like these guys but they've never struck me as a great live band.

 

I often like live releases but this just doesn't interest me much.

 

Pointless.

Sorry but that just sounds bad.

Has anybody bought this? Just wondering how it is.

 

I like these guys and like listening to live stuff...but not really feeling a desire to buy this. I think it's mostly that they just haven't struck me as a great live band....even though I've never seen them.

Avoid this one. I'm not a huge fan of live albums, although I do like some. But this one brings nothing to the table which makes it worth buying for me, setlist isn't that great, the studio versions are fine the way they are and the live renditions just pale in comparison. Usually I like live stuff if the studio material's production wasn't the best to begin with and the live recordings pack more of a punch or if the songs are different (extended jams for example) and this one has neither

Haha. Good one, mate.

[Glen]

Sorry but that just sounds bad.

 

I have no desire to be reminded of how bad this band is live.
