The Wedding Present terrible live???? no way, nooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaay!
Wedding Present were alright until about 1992, then it all went tits up. Nowadays it's an embarrasisng parody.
You want a shit live band though, try Johnny Moped!
Smashing Pumpkins.... who would ever know that a band that was so magnificant on album could be so much shite in real life....

Is that with or without Alan Wilder, because with Alan, they were awesome live. Post-95, Dave's voice became shot and he couldn't hit the high notes (although he sounded good in NYC a month ago), Martin doesn't touch the keys, Fletch actually plays, and the two major parts of the sound -- lead keys and drums -- are by touring musicians. Oh, and they don't use a drum machine.
'82 to '95 -- David Gahan sang awesome live because he wasn't totally strung out on smack (except for on SOFAD), Martin didn't touch the guitar as much, except for on SOFAD, Fletch didn't play, and Alan did most of the instrumentation, even improvising some cool live bits, like the transition from Behind the Wheel to Route 66 on the World Violation tour and the ending to Just Can't Get Enough on the Live in Hamburg tape. Oh, and they had the four track tape player on stage with them.
How the hell are ye?

Not HALF as much as a Shergold round the chops I wager ;) [1]
Actually I'd put you lot and Digital in the other thread, both INFINITELY better live than recorded, though I think that's true of every band.
PS: If you have any multitrack stuff I'd LOVE to try mixing yous, especially if the MIDI is separate (I have "issues" with both tribute bands patch programming, not least using way too much resonance on the bass noises). Same goes if Timbo has any Digital leftovers.
[1] Having briefly played a 4 string fretless modulator, I suspect a Marathon 6 would hit slightly harder than an express train.

Prefer Gene meself
It's impossible to get enough of Alan Wilder. Even if you've gone through Depeche, there's always Recoil, which is a lot more complex and each time you listen to it, you hear something different.
Gene Wilder over Alan? Alan Wilder did not appear in Xanadu.
