Converge - at the Scion Rock Fest 09 PART I

[Rivalsofeden]

when i see them, it will be the greatest thing i will ever go to. fucking gods.

[NarrativesNC]

I'm almost positive Orange and Ampeg sponsored Scion Rock Fest because nearly every band playing "heaven" used the same rig all day.

[RENN357]

all converge are is basically a fucking tone convention

"converge presents: the 60 odd minute AWESOME TONE expo"

[cripplefriday]

orange amps man. they're responable for some of the doomiest and sludgiest guitar sounds ever.

[owlertheprowler]

@cripplefriday do you know what model of orange he uses live?

[RENN357]

@owlertheprowler

probably the thunderverb 200

[RENN357]

@owlertheprowler

@owlertheprowler

probably the thunderverb 200 or a rockerverb

two of them when i saw them

and nate uses two orange heads as well.

[elzombo]

That guitar sound is just so evil and dark. Reminds me of the great kim thayil.

[thebigpeeaye]

sick!!!

[zckimes]

Kurt Ballou has the best guitar tone. Converge rules.

[fuckphill]

they do

[oysterfloyd]

LOCUST REIGN!

[Woodshatter]

They should open every show with Plagues.

[ryanb113n]

They should change the opener. I have seen them 5 times over the past couple years, and each show they have opened with plagues..

[HellhammerMario]

While this is true, they have opened their shows with "Plagues" the last couple of times I've seen them, it's the perfect opener. Such a heavy intro, and it never gets old watching Kurt riff away for the first two minutes. That's just me, though.

[emogrindcore]

...I agree completely.

[GerbilUSA2nd]

Wish I could've went, but it as only 18+. Sad, there was so many good bands playing.

[sidbolero]

what guitar is he playing here?

[iAmAsteroid]

It's one of those customized guitars he has from First Act. He has another one with a Telecaster style body, but I have no idea what this one is. It looks and sounds fucking awesome though.

[tbwannab]

it may be a first act

[sidbolero]

yeah I think it is but I couldn't find that particular model on their site. looks really cool anyway

[Anvilpants]

the plagues guitar part at the begining sounds even more brutal in this video than it does in the song.

converge is the best band i've ever seen live ever. the only show were i was actually afraid for my life.

[RJN88420]

he fucks around alot with a loop.. anybody know exactly what fx equipment ballou usually uses?

[Mutlilated33]

ARMY OF ORANGE AMPS.

[DerekSmith4456]

Beautiful in every form

[Dburnage]

Locust Reign! so intense.

[NoDirection888]

I love Bannon, he puts so much effort, energy and heart into every performance. Awesome.

[NoDirection888]

Actually, fuck that. Replace Bannon with Converge as a whole.

[fcukurlf2009]

oh so beautiful i would love to be there

[schwarzblatt]

this band is so consistently great. and they are tone connisseurs (orange and ampeg is a great combination).

[Twoscreamsilence]

both the ampeg and orange are rented gear. they flew in for this show. kurt uses bad cat lynx heads as of late live but uses all kinds of stuff in the studio from old traynors to thd's. this sounds rad though for rented gear.

[iAmAsteroid]

I remember seeing in the video for "Fault And Fracture" him using a Marshall and a bunch of pedals. I also love those old Rickenbackers and that Frankenstein Jazzmaster he uses.

[halofourteen85]

Converge-still one of the most amazing live bands around today

[spacemonkeyman1383]

Converge kicks all sorts of ass, on so many levels.

[pbtomass]

this guitaris so crunchy!

[soulcrusher8]

Jacob is a fuckin live wire

[defthricedayverge]

I hope they dont open with plagues this short tour, its getting played out..

[SyphaUno]

fuck man... why the fuck is converge so dope?

[Homohemuli]

because of all the stillborn junkie babies bannon accidentally ate-FUCK IT
