Members gibbed Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I saw them with Immolation and Skinless last night. They {censored}ing killed. They played a bunch of old songs off effigy of the forgotten, and played some new stuff too. EVERY MEMBER of that band could be the "best" member in nearly all other metal acts. I was especially blown away by Mike Smith, he is a heavy hitter and much more creative than most DM drummers. He's always on his toms, and his blasts are tight and powerful. I'm not sure how their guitarists get away with using so much bass - when I heard their sound check I was thinking "they're going to sound like mud", but it fit perfectly into their live sound once they started. I took my girl with, it was her first metal concert, and she loved it. She said she found what she was looking for from the "rave" scene in suffocation. m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gibbed Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I think more women need to get into metal, I think the only thing stopping a lot of them is some stigma towards it because people perceive it to be music for fat angsty slobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HottKarl Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 " Suffocation is the best live metal act out, period." True story. They were also about 15 years ahead of their time....they are finally getting the props they deserve. The first time I saw them live ('92) i literally stood there in AWE. Here's a write-up I did on a show they did a while back:http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1061086&highlight=suffocation+HottKarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mda96bjh Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 what gear were they using?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theobserver Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 My friend ask them about their gears when they tour Indonesia a few months ago. They basically told us that they dont use top of the line gears, its all about how they play the instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 what gear were they using?? I know they use PV XXX's as amps.. Maybe thats changed but I dont think so.. I have been a fan of Suffo-nuts for as long as I remember.. And Breeding the Spawn is one of the best albums ever. I know the recording sucked, but that album {censored}ing rules. And they never play any of it, except maybe Breeding the SPawn.. I even talked to Frank about it in 95, and he said "no one likes it, recording is {censored}".... I said "Man every one I know {censored}ing thinks it rules, {censored} how bad it sounded, the bad recording made it all the more dirtier.. And then I preceded to smoke up with Terrance and Doug as they got busted earlier on the tour and lost their weed.. I saw terrance walking thru the crowd and he asks if we got any weed, we say yeah, and go smoke them up.. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
