If you are a hardcore Wednesday 13 fan or generally
a fan of the mans music then 'Fuck It, We'll Do
It Live' is the package for you, it’s a live
cd/dvd set that features 19 tracks which span out
through the whole of Wednesday's career with songs
from back in the day of him fronting The Frankenstein
Drag Queens, to the days of him fronting the Murderdolls
to his long running solo career, the only difference
is that all the songs and has been filmed during
one of his solo live shows. The cd and dvd is a
100% filmed live package, there have been no touch
up jobs in the studio, you can hear the sound dip
during songs, you can hear the odd fuck up and you
can hear the crowd screaming their lungs out between
songs.
The cd part of the double pack is something that
I am sure many fans have been waiting for, for
a long time and it’s good to finally have
a live Wednesday 13 cd to listen to. It starts
off with a short introduction which is basically
the fans screamings as a bit of spooky music is
played before Wednesday 13 and his backing band
take to the stage and then straight away Wednesday
13 blast into 'Gimmie Gimmie Bloodshed' which
happens to be the main single release from his
latest and darkest album release 'Skeletons'.
This live package could also double up as a Wednesday
13 greatest hits as most of the songs on the album
are the best songs that the man has ever written
and preformed and it’s just even better
than they have been captured live in sound and
vision format.
Some of the highlights to the album has to be
'Home Sweet Homicide' the song is a fan favourite
and is played here in such a fast and passionate
way, another highlight is 'Not Anther Teenage
Anthem' which has Wednesday 13 introducing the
song by saying "there is a rumour going around
that I want to sort out now, this song is not,
I repeat not another teenage anthem" which
is then met by screams from the crowd as the band
play their way through the song.
As said above the majority of the songs on offer
here are some of the best that the man has ever
created but the last four songs are the strongest
with '197666', 'Rambo', 'Bad Things' and 'I Love
To Say Fuck' being played back to back, each song
sounds as great live as they do on record, the
crowds screams are there before, during and after
each of the songs which just adds to the excitement,
you could easily whack the sound up as high as
possible, shut your bed room door, turn the lights
off and shut your eyes and pretend you are actually
watching Wednesday live, it’s not the same
as watching him live but it has a really good
effect and I guess it’s the next best thing.
'Rambo' is one of the songs that goes down the
best with the fans, with them singing along word
for word to the ever so fast and catchy song,
but the main highlight is listening to 1000's
of Wednesday 13 fans shouting Fuck as loud as
they can with Wendnesday 13 during 'I Love To
Say Fuck', the song does sound slightly out of
tune in places and Wednesday's vocals sound like
they have had better days here but that is the
excitement of a live recording, the fact that
it sounds real and whatever happens can’t
be changed.
As for the dvd version of the live double pack,
musically it’s the same as the cd, it has
been filmed in quite an amateur way but the exciting
thing about it is that the camera is forever panning
from the band to the crowd, you get to see what
the band do on stage between songs and the title
for each song flashes up on screen just as the
song starts which is a good pointer, I can’t
see people watching the dvd part of the double
pack many times over but I can see the cd part
living in peoples cd players for months to come.
Overall 'Fuck It We'll Do It Live' is the ultimate
package for any Wednesday 13 fan, it has 19 of
the mans greatest tracks captured live on both
cd and dvd and it is well worth the money.
5/5
