[HD] The Contortionist - Contact [Live at Mavericks]

[on3n1ght3r666]

This band reminds me of a mix of Between The Buried And Me and Periphery.

REALLY technical structuring and amazing, heavy and brutal djent riffs. This is the perfect fucking band.

[6crimson6]

It's ridiculous how amazing this band is. Can't wait for the next album. Almost afraid.

[iDrum628]

anyone who hates them because they have a new screamer is a deaf prick. this guy is just as good as there old screamer

[barneyvelcro]

@iDrum628 couldn't agree more dude, their old vocalist was a dickhead in my opinion anyways....walked into every show around indy like he owned the venue or some shit, not cool.

[iDrum628]

@barneyvelcro thats what it looked like to. i never saw them live with there old dude, but his stage presence on their old videos just makes him look like a jerk

[gotbass33727]

@barneyvelcro

You must not have known Dave. One of the nicest guys ive ever met.

[barneyvelcro]

@gotbass33727 His attitude made me not want to get to know him whatsoever bro haha idk, maybe he's a nice dude but he gave off a super cocky asshole vibe.

[xDavJonathanx]

WTF is he playing that on a 6-String?!

Listening to the CD I was certain they we're using 8's!

[Spieleschummler]

@xDavJonathanx

8-string is very big misjudged don't you think so?

But it's true you can't hear that it's a 6-string, quite impressive what you can do with it ^^

[xDavJonathanx]

@Spieleschummler Agreed!

[infamousforareason]

Is that keyboard even plugged in?

[xDavJonathanx]

@infamousforareason It is. Most Likely, he's run direct into the PA and cause the cameraman is standing RIGHT near the stage, It's hard to hear. I've seen other videos shot from the crowd and you could hear the keyboard just fine.

[Skaterfolife06]

STARE INTO SPACE!

[MishAbasi]

The guitarist on the right likes like Jay from Mall Rats and Clerks.

[LightsInAugust92]

This is their best song!!

[6crimson6]

@LightsInAugust92 Absolutely. 

[aponcapone]

wish they would come to the netherlands soon....like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flockofsloths]

Wait someone please tell me one of them is playing a 7 string. I could've sworn some of the sounds they get off the album were 7 string.

[AnthonyBuck860]

@Flockofsloths The tuning is naturally a 7 string tuning tuned down a half step dropped. But they just made the tuning fit a 6 string. For this song, Vessel, and all 3 Exoplanets they're in A# Standard (A#,D#,G#,C#,F,A#). While every other song is in Drop G# (Same thing as A# standard, just tune the A# down to a G#). Check my channel for some Contortionist covers.

[Jerkoffkid]

my fav contor tune

[theforkisonthetable]

Very happy that they played that song this time around.. i won't ever forget that.

[MrSkeleton1]

AT first I thought "uh another progressive, rhythmic and structure freak-band"

but then, I listened to the album once.... twice.... And so on- Now I think: DAMN THEY ARE AMAZING!!!

[maidenfan10210]

@MrSkeleton1 That was exactly what I thought,and that is exactly what happened.

[TheMercilessMelb]

This is great, i love this band.

But what do you mean by "The only source for live music"?

[xFREExMINDx]

@TheMercilessMelb that's a weird question.

[TheMercilessMelb]

@xFREExMINDx Through all of his live videos it says "The only source for live music."

I don't get why have that on their if there are hundreds of different people who post up live footage.

I'm not trying to hate, i was just asking a question.

[theonlybandever1000]

@TheMercilessMelb To distinguish my videos from theirs. Also, most videos are posted from phones, one time at a concert with terrible camera work. I've posted over 280 videos with consistent quality so I might as well make it stand out.

[theforkisonthetable]

@TheMercilessMelb yeah, and the difference between those other hundreds of people and this guy is that this guy actually posts up video worth watching and listening to.

[TheMercilessMelb]

@theforkisonthetable Very true dude im not going to lie, but there is still like ak99superstar and lizness83 and people like that.

[theonlybandever1000]

@TheMercilessMelb Very true! I definitely follow Lizness83. She had a hand in the inspiration for good live videos. D-Thang has some good videos as well.

[xFREExMINDx]

@TheMercilessMelb yes I understand that there are other people who do this but it doesn't hurt to try and make a name for yourself. It's a good way to get known to others who like videos such as this.

[TheMercilessMelb]

@xFREExMINDx Couldn't agree more man.
