Something I've come to realize about my musical tastes in recent times is my dislike of using artificial reverbs. Like, with orchestral samples, I greatly prefer just using the microphone positions.
It's the same with me and rock/metal music. I hate the sound of just shoving an SM57 in the grill of your speaker cab and calling it a day; it's like shoving your ear against it and listening. I've always liked live recordings better because they use room mics and stuff that pick up the audience, the actual sound of the stadium and what not...
Examples
To my ears, those sound way better than the studio recordings. Not to say there wasn't any swapping of takes from different live performances or post-production, but you get my point.
Every electric guitar library I know of is just "here's a DI'd signal" and I get the flexibility that allows for. But for curiosity's sake: Has there ever been a sample library recorded of a rock band live at like...Budokan or something?
I think that would be rad.
