Atheist - And the Psychic Saw (Wacken 2006)

[niljen92]

Sickest drummer EVER! :DD

[TheSonsofHorusx]

try finding athiest tab lol

[Grindgodgrind]

That's me at 1:40, second from the right. Atheist were amazing to see live! One of my favourite bands of all time \m/

[blackseedsofvengance]

This song has to be played in lefty

[Antilulz1]

wtf?!? the guitar is so sloppy in this song. The bass is completely on the wrong fret during the intro. Doesn't do justice to the original lineup whatsoever

[SwedishBerzerker]

3:50, THAT'S why Atheist rules! Sadly underrated. They need to get tighter guitarists.

[cooliovasquez]

why did they edit out the crowd noise it makes it so awkward

[DrEviscerator666]

DAMN that Tony Choy is a GOD! Damn he's like a mix of Jaco Pastorius and Alex Webster! Totally Underrated and AMAZING!

[cooliovasquez]

4:10 The guitarist on the right failed

[clubfootforyou]

Guitars have no unquestionable presence

[fretsonfire18]

Que excelente banda excelente sonido \\m//

[aldrichp]

Love the band, just not the Brett Michaels look

[PanamaSabroso]

@JchXX Its the fuckin bandana

[plasticpope]

@JchXX he is pretty wierd, and his voice doesnt sound anywhere near as kwl as he did on the albums, its lost a lot of sharpness but it still sounds pretty friggin kwl

[toxicgospel]

This band is crazy awesome.

[Metalforever132]

This was my least favourite song a week ago, but I've started to really like this one now, especially the riff at 3:47. This song seems kind of basic first, but it's chaotic! :D

[TheSonsofHorusx]

OMG I WANNA BE THURR!!! so sick yo

[brassaflax]

tony choy is great bassist but his tone always really bad

[rustytheginge]

i've heard of this band for a long time... tbh i overlooked them, never really gave them the light of day always too busy listening to other like-minded bands such as Gorguts, Cynic and Death... WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING??? Atheist are just... incredible

[Mikenog]

yeah... same here

[xdux]

@rustytheginge check out my band aghora?

[freekykidd]

How I hate Tony Choy. He could never replace Patterson.

[TimelessWinter89]

No, he can't but he's still a great bassist. And a great guy. He was really down to earth when I saw them, as was the rest of the band.

[barnickd]

Athiest playing with him is better than them not playing at all

[mrocdp]

Thank God, they are getting back.

[blomstersenter]

you cant thank god if you are atheist

[acdcfan911]

Decent video, but Atheist can obviously play soo much better. Unquestionable Presence is one of the greatest albums of all time. I fucking worship it haha!

[ax101494]

one of my favorite bands ever

[Superbradman1]

these guys still kick ass... awesome :-)

[2112dim]

It must be really difficult to play such technical stuff live.

[rabidfreak12]

anyone else notice that bass is off key at 0:29- 0:33 ?

[lookit87]

I don't think it's off-key bro, Jazz chords tend to sound like that and this band uses a lot of Jazz Chords to structure their music.

[meddelhed]

No, on the album, he plays a different bass line, if I recall.

[Destroyer666AU]

sounds just like the cd version to me... along with the rest of the song

[R0b0Trav0lta]

This band is criminally underrated.

[TimelessWinter89]

@R0b0Trav0lta I agree. Fucking one of the first Tech Death bands and people just toss 'em aside. Great live show too. Can't fucking wait for the new album.

[skatebodgeandjam]

Yeah athiest!!!!!!

[TimelessWinter89]

Chris looks SO different then compared to now.

[dothedamher]

Atheist kicks ass, but Kelly looks like fucking bret micheals.

Oh well.

[andrewClarklee]

I always thought that too. haha.

[Radha994]

barefoot??

hahahaha

[ArrogantAtheist]

Atheists FTW!!

[SabuPtolemy]

Kelly Shaefer looks like a damn Bret Michaels reject. What a trainwreck............

[JohnQuincyWydell]

Thats so fkin true exactly bret..!

[sicbutsweet]

yeah but kelly"s got better musical taste (just without the show with all the hot chics)

[Punjabi192]

HAHA, double bass with no shoes, thats what metal is all about!

[lestatv3]

I imagine how their music would be with the vocals singed with Fry. Early Death style.

[Tankard22]

were the fuck did Kelly ever find these hacks to play Atheist. those guitarists are horrible! it just isn't the same without Rand and Kelly playing.

man, I can't wait for the new Atheist album in 2009 though

[PetieFr]

yea, guitars suck.... a new atheist album??? lol I thought it will stay a trilogy

[seb2112]

Agreed, what a fucking disapointement. And Kelly's vocals were always the weakest part of Atheist for him to just do vocals and look like bret micheals just ruins it all

[Metal213]

this is Metal!

[DAClark311]

I can't believe how many times they messed up horribly. Kelly Shaefer is singing weirdly, Choy was playing the wrong notes in a lot of spots, and the guy who they brought it to play Shaefers parts can't keep up. Don't get me wrong, Atheist was an awesome band and stay as one of my favorites, but this performance, as well as the others from this set, were pretty weak.

[ProkreatedThrash]

Dude, do you how hard this song is to play??? It's like jagging off without a boner and watching The View.

[seb2112]

regardless of the level of difficulty, if you can't play something, you don't get on stage to do it half assed

[brassaflax]

i gotta agree with daclark this is not as good as they can do.

[Atomic12345]

Snake, I would rather be die poor with the talent. Then to live a second of my rich and hiding behind the cold hard fact that I have no talent and their are thousands out their with more talent that I could ever hope to achieve, and then die knowing I failed as a musician and degraded the quality of music. Sure nobody will care, or notice the great talents that die. But, I'm sure the whole world would stop if Paris Hilton died. That is just how stupid society has come. Talent goes unnoticed.

[FuZzftw]

This show was kinda weird compared to the old ones, be honest.

[glockenklang]

Goosebumps song. Simply awesome.

[ProvokedAccurser]

fucking great!

[tavarua001]

the greatest metal band of them all u bunch of britney spears lovers , watch that bass and drum , never in ur life any of u could do even a simple aproch .not every body understand , there ar too much ahead of the music.

[Theblackmetalist]

snakecia1 is a fucking moron shut the fuck up athiest rule bitch just cuz rock bands make more money cuz there shit ass mainstream and ateist arent

[Adriankat]

Progressive shows are weird. Almost everyone stands there quietly and observes the musicianship.

[cooliovasquez]

@Adriankat thats the way it should be

[Hexserpent]

@Adriankat they are in owe

[jaylasen1]

@Adriankat that's the beauty of progressivness.......Admiratio­n of amazing sounds.....

[MANxWITHxHAT]

R.A.V.A.G.E.

Eat it Snake.

[slayerific]

SnakeCIA1 so apparently a band is successful only when they have a magazine named after them? Well then I guess that means that about 99.999% of all bands are unsuccessful.

[TheivingGypsyScum]

you mean you havent subscribed to atheist monthly???

[SeanHart213]

the lead guitarist has great bends.

steve flynn is THE most underrated drummer out there in my opinion. wish i could have seen these guys live.

but it makes me glad to know that they're still playing as well as cynic

[Amorphon]

its such a brilliantly complicated song

[destruction143]

It's weird how they used to have two left-handed guitarists and now... they don't.

[HastaElDesmadre]

Thats cause Kelly Shafer has carpal tunnel syndrome or arheritis but he still is the vocals and the leader of it all. saw them on the last show in hollywood. Brutal Sick and legendary they blew Obituary out of the water. its all about Mother Man!

[hotamali]

Rand and Kelly?! How did you know this?

[nekrorod]

balle2guerre, there was a little crap, but in general they are far better than present "great" bands anyway. Respect it as they don't play a simple stuff.

[balle2guerre]

At 4.15 they are totally lost during 3-4 seconds, second lead guitars ripps his riff off... maybe Atheist was a square band during 90's, but now... their gigs looks like a cover band ... It's sad cause i've been listening their album thousand times, i'm34 now, and Steve Flynn was my favorite drummer during death-metal period...

[HastaElDesmadre]

yeah its not the same cause the other muscicians were from the band Gnostic but even then... Atheist rules and they are right there alongside Death in metal history!

[blackwood23]

Meh, his vocals always seem to be like that. Also its been like 13 years since this song was recorded, people age i guess. Atheist is one of my favorite bands.Every musician in that band is amazing on so many levels. They got a total jazzy feel going on to, which sounds awesome with tech-death. ;)

[BaByGiR11]

LOL he look drunk can't even hear what he saying

[aidselmo]

awesome...get the drunk guy off stage. he shouldn't have a microphone either. It used to be a guitar and a whole lotta more brain cells.......kellly schaffer eat your heart out....lol.......

[JtK27]

Fuck. I like Atheist but Kelly's singing isn't the best here.

[MetalforLife22]

i agree, his singing is better on the album. but i still love Atheist! \m/

[JtK27]

I really dislike the "Axl Rose" - style he has adapted but I understand that he's been in such bands for a time now.

I wish he would growl/scream more like he used to. But on the other hand he never really had that "real" growl-fell to him either so...

[SnakeCIA1]

ur an idiot because u assume, u seem very blunt because u assume, and stupid other atheists. This band sucks balls

[dripikaslikphleg]

dude if you don't like it go away. otherwise your just crying to the rest of us.

[SeanHart213]

you base your arguments on schematics and narrow rationality.... you truly define the term "having one's head up one's ass".

and this band is a group of virtuosos. you clearly haven't any clue about musical theory or appreciation.

[SnakeCIA1]

this band sucks dick. Hip hop has taken over so they aren't making as much money. and even if this was the rock era, Styx, rolling stones and beatles owns this gay band. man this band sucks dick

[SeanHart213]

you just rated bands talent by their success.....

i settle my case.

[SnakeCIA1]

well actually many people do. Atheist doesn't have their own magazine, like rolling stone. they don't make that great money. the outcome of popularity = more money. I rest my case.

[SeanHart213]

ok so you switched it from success to popularity. dumbass

[SnakeCIA1]

Popularity is coralated with success and thats what makes you money. lol!!!!

[SeanHart213]

"Popularity is coralated with success"

exactly, and you were using them as 2 seperate excuses as to why you think this band sucks. you just owned yourself.

[SnakeCIA1]

You forgot to capitalize exactly, and you need a period after success, then put quotation marks after the period.

[MindUsurper]

Who cares about Rolling Stone having their own magazine? Who cares if the band Atheist make great money or not? Who cares about people like "SnakeCIA1", bragging about popular bands and popularity? Who cares about popularity itself? Fuck (POP)ularity!

[MindUsurper]

When did I start a discussion about the atheists and atheism? Are you trying to drag me into the "Religion vs Atheism" bullshit? If you don't like the band Atheist, then why are you on this video? To spread your shit? This video has nothing to do with your "Evolution vs Creation" crap or "popular" music. It sucks to you, but it's only your opinion. Get lost, Mr. Know-it-all.

[SnakeCIA1]

Ur just speculating that I was. Thats one MindUsurper. This band sucks dick and rock and roll stars make more money than they do. This band doesn't even have their own magazine like Rolling Stone.

[adrian5118]

HAHA. You phail horribly.

The Rolling Stones were SHIT in comparison to the technicality that was Unquestionable Presence.

[AgressiveTyrant1]

SnakeCIA, hip hop is retarded faggotry. Death Metal isn't about making money. It is a philosophical statement of which your mind is so small that you couldn't understand. Kill yourself you poor low life inferior scum. Zyklon-B for YOU! FAGGOT!

[SnakeCIA1]

I agree that hip hop is gay, my point is that it is unfortunate that it is popular. You are the nicest person I have ever met. Hug me, im a liberal.

[flipperboy]

Do not Argue with Snake he is beyond help

[SnakeCIA1]

You do not have to capitalize argue. You are a dumbass. This band sucks.

[TheShodan]

Snake is the greatest troll.

I salute your skills in generating chaos.

You should all be ashamed for falling for his crap.

[SnakeCIA1]

ur asuming im a christian. see thats ur problem, u know nothing, I never said I was a christian This band sucks balls

[GODCORRUPTED]

masters......................

[dariusb23]

this reminds me of early cynic . which tony choy was a member of. your brain listens to it. but you dont know where you were taken by the music. and if someone asks you how was the music. its hard to say anything!

[jibblegit]

Yea, death has no way near as much of a jazz influence than these guys

[Immolationed]

To all the naysayers, Atheist kick's still ass, after all these years! I dont know about the some of you here, but I love when I can hear the bass, especially when it's well played (Roger was better in my point of view, but that's a different subject. R.I.P Roger Patterson). If this reunion would've had Randy back and Kelly taking up the guitar.......sweeeeet

I agree that Kelly looks like Axl in here ;)

[Immolationed]

Music for the thinking man! To omgyouareugly, if you haven't noticed, this band is unique, and very fucking different than Death. Hey, I fucking love Death & Chuck, but this band is different from them. I dont go out saying: Hah, Origin is a cheap imitation of Dying Fetus. That wouldn't make any sense!

[manuelfelipe2]

Death para mi es la mejor banda que hay, y si la a oido un poquito es imposible que usted diga que atheis hacen una copia barata de death, atheist hacen una mescla entre death metal y jazz fusion dandoles este sonido que para mi no es parecido al de death pero que igual me gusta demasiado, deicide tambnien es una muy buena banda de death metal pero con un corte distinto asi que no hay que comparar por que en si son propuestas distintas

[isbaezu]

amen!!!! solo deicide no me gusta, como exprese abajo XD pero pues dejalos son chavales que apenas empezaron a conocer grupillos, nos pasa a todos

[Dabudas]

Hell yeah,back in the day of Unquestionable Presence, this is thinking man metal, no wannabebad music ala Deicide

[isbaezu]

all idiots!! they are from 1984 one of the first death metal bands obviusly the grunts are poor because in 1980 death metal was very different, and they are influence of a lot of bands, please read about death metal history,all this assholes specially "OMGYOUAREUGLY"(an imitation of death metal?? im sure you listen shits like Deicide jaja they are like girls )

[omgyouareugly]

OMFG this guys suck! this is a cheap immitation of Death.

[sdajafol]

I love Atheist but what the hell is Axl Rose doing on the stage? Heh.

[6Deathmetal6pwnage6]

Choy looks like a thug bald lmfao

[elisabet7]

ur joking.... they sucks!

[paubatan]

there good one of my idol fuck those cant apriciete their music

[OINKGOHARD]

pffff man they suck, specially the singer is so baaad, lol he cant even sing, and its not even hard zzzzzz

[FremontMetalHead]

This video isn't about singing. Obviously you're one of those nit-picky faggots that suck Bruce Dickinson's nuts because he can pull off a melodic yell.

[paubatan]

praction your sense of music before you say something bitch posser

[crappybassist96]

Check out Gnostic, Flynn's other band. I like them better than Atheist.

[richardhalsted1984]

die axl

[aryon60]

I think this is really weak. Bass sounds like Nintendo game.

[allsopman]

eh????

[kingincrimson]

Several Nintendo games had kickass basslines.

[jonahthecaveman]

ur a genius

[SnakeCIA1]

Nintendo sucks

[kamizela11]

Atheist Rules

[Punkmetaller]

What a great fucking band! Atheist fucking rules!

[daranji]

thats great!

\

[frump]

There's a pretty major fuckup at 4:18 and then the guitars get out of time as well.

[benuca]

if you could do better...go ahead...holy envy...bahh

[frump]

you're retarded it's not about me doing better it's about the new guitarists fucking up.

[bleedforjester]

my favorite

[xXPanThyMoniumXx]

Excellent!!! Atheist Rules!!! ♥

[angoranimi07]

this is really f**cked up! i like it

[HymenDesecrator]

WOW!!!!

[codfury]

Perfect! Definately one of my all time favorites.
