I’ve been rocking out since I was like 1st year high school and since then, all I’ve ever wanted was to rock out and be in the frontlines and liberate people with my sheer rockingness. (that sentence doesn’t make sense). So anywho, I’ve plowed through a lot of bands and I’ve come to formulate a theory: There are two ways of really knowing if a band is AWESOME or not and it’s not how cool their cd sounds (although it should be no reason to release a crappy album) or how trendy, happening or chic they dress up (”ooh my god I love this band because they look soooooo cool on stage! They’re so happening!” Puhhleeeease..).

First, a band is LEGENDARY when they sound as perfect live as they are on their album. A GREAT band puts on a fantastic show. They make the crowd part of their show i.e. making them sing some of the parts and whatnot. The second measure is how good they put up an acoustic show. That’s right, no lights, no amps, no electric stuff. Just raw, bare, exposed, direct acoustic love.

Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home (live acoustic at the Daily Download)

The transition is seamless. This, friends, is a legendary band. Plus Claudio’s hair is DIVINE.
