I've seen many many bands of the same basic genre that have a lot talent and are extremely good live. Kinda ignorant to say none of them have talent, dont you think?
August Burns Red, Parkway Drive, The Acacia Strain, Like Moths to Flames, For All Those Sleeping, Secrets, Of Mice and Men, Texas in July, etc are all really good live.
Please quote me where I said "none of them have talent" or actually implied it.
I might have expressed myself wrongly, but what I implied from my question is that it's not surprising to expect a (insertgenre)core to deliver a sloppy live performance, especially and mostly for musicians themselves.
e.g. If a musician were to go see All That Remains, he would expect a good ambiance yet a sloppy performance (just youtube their live version of Six...). But if he were to go see Opeth, he would expect top-notch musicianship (which they deliver).
Didn't mean to offend you at all (I actually like some metalcore bands).
