[LOKOMETASENJADOTOY]

I hope whoever cut off Paul's long hair knew who he was. Cuz if I was that barber I would have kept that legendary hair :D

[Feanorthrasher]

The final growls are full of passion and sentiment!

[ohyeahoOvV]

Sean Mallone with Mullets XD

[rushprog]

holy fuck, tony teegarden is my idol

[carsonhorne]

"..it gave me an eroction." Fred Flinstone- on an episode of family guy

[mixmastermikepwt]

if you have to explain it, you phail!

[iansmith91]

Anyone else think the growls on this are much better than on the album?

[paradigmshiftuv7]

shit, why isnt dana still touring with them?!

[immortalsoloist]

the growls on this are by Tony Teegarden

[thebyronicman1992]

I nee a time machine too , this video is fucking amazing !! I have to see them live...I must do it

[xpidgeonx]

fuck

[xpidgeonx]

Woa Youtube isn't censoring comments anymore haha they were last night! Anyways amazing band and amazing song! I need a time machine

[Nisstyre56]

Holy shit, that girl with the squeaky voice needs her throat slit.

[Jendrij]

What girl??

On this show grunts were made by Tony Teegarden. He also recorded growls on "Focus".

[cacasheetpipi]

oh yeah the chick at the beggining its really annoying

[nephrowraith]

best band ever saw:) old school!

[CorpseGrinder18]

Wooot! Great great great fuckin' song

[thedarksideofthesun]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[NihilistWarGod]

[subslaytanic]

Should be 94, yes!

[TheMermaidSlur]

2:47 - octopus hair

[Kovaji]

I wish Stienberger still made their GR series guitars...I'd love to have one.

[mophead02]

I've been looking for one for the last 2 weeks- IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIND ONE TELL MEEEE

[mophead02]

i love this video. Tony is so passionate- he could've been a death metal vocalist.

[hnlzero]

It's kind of sad how far removed Tony Teegarden is from music now.

[NowILayTheeDown]

He's in a band called Adrift, if I'm right.

[MALONEQUORTHON]

my favourite song of focus.

cynic, my 2° favourute group

[NoWittyNameDevised]

I wonder if Tony Teagarden behaves in the same manner during some of his business conventions? That would be entertaining to say the least.

[wyoat]

Greatest cynic song!

[OhShize]

Damn, the growls in this video are fucking amazing!

[MourningsEnd]

Loving Sean Malone's mullet.

[SkadaTechDeath]

Hahaha

[Vader2097]

Paul should move his hair like that today:-)

[CorpseGrinder18]

Damn, Look at Paul move that hair! =D

[NowILayTheeDown]

Why is Paul saying 'Meow' in the beginning? :S

[whyteboi101]

who knows what he's on

[ajvarofdoom]

damn both vocals sound sick in this video

especially growls ^^

[CorpseGrinder18]

definetly, whose that doing the harsh vocals?

[ajvarofdoom]

I think it's Tony Teegarden

[CorpseGrinder18]

what band was/is he in?

[ajvarofdoom]

he was in Epitaph from Florida

but they only released 2 demos...

[VetleZorZ]

tony teegarden.

[mrtinkletits]

imo tony had the best vox out of anyone in the 90s tech prog bands. he was amazing. this whole band is amazing

[TRAYJEN666]

great footage... thanks for posting...

amazing to see tony teegarden performing with them!!! this was a long time ago!

[Psycopatologic]

i just love the band, i got traced in air and focus special edition...i'm just the happiest man on the earth =D

[kelvinjsteiner]

hate the robot voice but the music is an inspiration. Best drumer ever

[Sarcasticunt]

gtfo

[louievondoom]

What?

dude, Paul Masvidals' use of the Vocoder on his

vocals is what makes cynic who they are.

Taking that out would be the equivalent of Sean Reinert (the drummer) quitting.

It just wouldn't be the same.

[mrp09]

holy shit i love this band

[broodingbloodyboner]

Nice mullet on the nice bassist

[Viohead]

Good old Sean Malone!

[PoKemonIstGOT]

"paddle thru clouds in my canoe" \m/ CYNIC \m/

[braineater91]

at 3:11 to 3:20 is soo fucking epic

how Tony uses the vocoder to Pauls voice

[overthewall91]

I wish the whole show was on youtube. I can't get enough of this!

[crush1st]

2:30 was like, "I'm not a dork, I can kick yo ass." Mullet is da bomb! Cynic rules!

[hombreloco21]

i love this band!!!Paul Masvidal-Guitar & Vocals Jason Gobel-Guitar Sean Mallone-Bass-Chapman Stick Sean Reinert - BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!!

[1MorA1]

you pretty much said it all!

[Hellbehert5767]

Jazz metal perfection

[yeatsg]

@Hellbehert5767

this is probably the most neo classical sounding song on the whole album outsidea pauls solo.

[ultramarine12]

What a great song

[Annihilatorin]

To love without fear!

[FlameIbrah]

jason gobel's solo here is the best on e the album IMo. but I still like paul masdival better. He's just a bit more of an abstract player.

[CyrusGuitar]

couldnt agree more, masvidals tone and feel is a bit more outside, more suiting of the genre. I even love his solos on the Human album. Saying that, i think Gobels solo on im but a wave to is amazing - really amazing feel with the whammy.

[risethelightning]

sounds fucking great, sean is the shit

[Schuldiner1982]

Sean Malone's mullet is amazing!!!

[svinariezas]

Yeah, Jason Gobel and his amazing solo. So good...

[maidenslayer]

Best riff is the last one that the song fades out with, man sends shivers down my spine, always reminds me of left hand path because of it's melodic catchiness. So good!!!

[Synequanon]

Yeah you too ? I thought I was the only one to shiver when the two guitars come one after the other

[pushit26]

YEAH CYNIC so fucking good they should start a tour im sure they ll be more popular

[maidenslayer]

This is the best!!!

[YouWantMeYouCantPay]

Really, is is that hard to suck at singing death metal???

[suffo11]

CYNIC FKN RULES

[empty25]

great, good old times. RIP Tony Teegarden

[hydralisk125]

Since when is Tony dead?

[empty25]

Sorry, my mistake, Steve Gruden has passed away, not Tony, you're right

[graywolf87]

I would give anything to see play the original line up...a dream it would be for sure...beautiful solo btw we miss jason

[martyr2005]

that solo is insane,,,,very very nice, and not less difficult to play,,,and jason gobel,,,plays so easy,,,(the new guitar cant doit)

[21vision]

well, it's always easier to play YOUR own solo, than some other's one ;)

[threedum]

Back in the good ole' days when they had Jason Gobel

[21vision]

yeah, he's good, he's good. too bad tho he couldn't participate in reunion :(

[mindofexplosion]

yeah, these vocals do not suck. you are all morons. cynic rules!

[cu7zur4u]

pogokoala, its the same vocal dude........but u just dont know ur sh*t...so shut the f**k up while these guys continue to write tech death metal history

[Childofarctica]

I seems that my anus has just been destroyed.

I-N-S-A-N-E i will build a time-machine just to see those guys live, who's with me ?

[Pogokoala]

the two Vocal puts it part of this song like a really good theme but with that one vocal now, the one that makes the wussy soft robot vocal sucks, we need the guy who does the puking vocal! he puts it in nice theme along with the bad ass solo part!

[cynicfocus]

the vocalist using the keyboard does not put in the solo part, the guitarist is playing it through a guitar synth. paul's vocals don't suck, they make up a large portion in the creativity that cynic put into their music.

[za017]

wow... it's great!!!!!!!!!!

[maidenslayer]

Fucking awesome, my fav song by them, this song owns all Atheist's songs (I also do like Atheist, but this song just beats them all).

[LourdesTr]

Hmm, there seems to be some extra lyrics... Can someone tell me what are they, please?

[cynicfocus]

It just seems like he is saying "How, How! How Could I!!"

[Pogokoala]

the guy who says how could i has a bad ass vocal man fuck lamb of god they fuckin suck anyways! but this one when they had this singer it really rip all asses need him again find another singer that can sound like him.

[cynicfocus]

they did have him again, but he did not want to do it because it would cost too much money for him to proceed with the reunion tour, so they have his vocals on a playback track triggered via midi.

[Pogokoala]

are you sure they didn't put him back on reunion because the last thing i heard was that he was dead, are we talking about the same person here? i'm talking about chuck. he put a good fell into it. to me the reunion part was sort of boring. needed Sean malone and Chuck to make it a complete cynic sorry i'm just probably ignorite over this but i really like it that line up.

[cynicfocus]

oh, you got mixed up with the Human line-up. The (harsh/brutal) vocalist for Cynic was Tony Teegarden, Chuck Schuldiner was in the band Death, and in 1990-1992, Paul Masvidal and Sean Reinert from Cynic went to help out Chuck on one of his albums, and for the tour as well. So Chuck was never a part of Cynic, but 2 Cynic members were part of Death.

[Pogokoala]

OHHHH alright damn now i got it all clear out, so the one that they wanted to bring along in the reunion tour was Tony Teegarden?

[cynicfocus]

yeah, they wanted to bring him, and their old guitarist(Jason), but neither could make it.

[Pogokoala]

dammmmmmn man... i would really like it if Tony was on the reunion tour. because the speaker doing the singing really sucks.. :(

[reeeeenei]

beautiful.

[deadasfak]

The synth solo at the end is made by Jason with some effects on his guitar???

[Callery83]

I think its a combination of his GR-50 and his sound module.

[symbolic90]

One of the best metal songs ever..

[CrispinDan]

this is serious...

[redlightpledge000]

future voice of a robot... how cute ^^ they're legend that blows up everyone's mind.. grrr

[ovnianopolus]

brilliant

[evilcarlos]

The best!

[rricardo1987]

The very last solo on this song is quite possibly the greatest solo in metal history.

[MIGUELBO]

Very good, favourite Cynic Focus Song. Muitíssimo Bom. Merci beaucoup pour avoir mis ce video. Perfect.

[Yontar]

incredible, one of the best bands ever, the whole band, especially the rhythm section of sean and sean really ties all the melodies together, awesome, plus come on pauls solo is like flawless

[Rjmaal]

who's the keyboarder? dana or someone else?

[wispgradde]

It's Tony Teegarden ! :)

[Kafe420]

The keyboardist is dana

[wispgradde]

It's not Dana, it's Tony Teegarden. He was also on tour with Cynic.

[Kafe420]

Was dana touring with cynic in europe and teegarden in america?

[philosopher]

This show is the only one in US with Tony Teegarden ;)

[Kafe420]

How can they headbang while playing that impossible guitar?

[wispgradde]

I know, it's far from mental :D

[Skwirut]

Best bam ever, besides anything Chuck was ever part of.

[magio420]

excelentemente progresivo

10/10

[x21015]

great song

[miketales]

One of my favorite song ... awesome progression

Sean Reinert's god

[Skwirut]
