  • THIS SONG IS IN FUCKING COMPLETE WHY THE FUCK IS IT INCOMPLETE

  • i think is a combinations between motorhead/black sabbath sunds really good

  • this guy needs to smoke some weed and chill.

  • @inbredbeaver789 are you kiding me LMAO He smokes all day everyday! Believe me!

  • badass riffs but i like it better when he doesnt scream.

  • many could be a derivative of motorhead...no ?

  • I think they're too derivative of Motorhead.

  • man he woudl be an awesome guy to have a smoke with

  • And now for something I hate to do but,a little self promotion. My band, Zebulon Pike, has had the honor of sharing the stage with HOF and we are mutual fans of each other's bands. If you like these guys, Mastodon, Intronaught etc... ya might like us. Purest 70's metal influences with more refined approach influenced by 20th century classical music.

  • I don't care who the fuck is "metal" enough i want MTV to play mother fucking metal again and nothing but metal and shows about metal so stop sayin you're not "metal" enough and fuckin unite to bring down this bitch kanye west and that canadian kid

  • Joe Preston of The Melvins \m/

    FOKKEN WIKKED

  • blessed black wings, death this is communion, and snakes for the divine are my favorite albums. tho all their songs are amazing i got a few i really like lol. and yes, i am also surprised he is wearing a shirt and playing guitar at the same time lol

  • @notenoughspac i dont really like snakes for the divine, it doesnt have the same spark as wings and death. i think the fact that the bassist had a lot more to do with the writing didn't help

  • Anyone else find it wierd that Matt is wearing a shirt...and playing guitar at the same time?

  • @Chew237

    the fact that he is playing guitar does not intrigue me at all. that's what he does in the band. i understand you're shock at that he is wearing a shirt. but i won't lie to you, i am not at all dissapointed that he is wearing a shirt.

  • Killer. Matt for president.

  • These guys kick fuckin' ass. Old School Metal In 2000's

  • its like motorhead + down + heavy metal of the 70's

  • This band kicks ass!

  • I've had this track since 2005 when it was on a compilation CD. Love it.

  • Yawn.

  • great track!

  • Boring...

  • they played this at Jesse James' Monster Garage way back, brings back memories. \m/

  • Sounds a bit like doom/stoner mixed with speedy thrash. And its awsome!

  • More like...

    Sleep + Motorhead = High On Fire

  • @darthmaul1900

    That's the best explanation I've ever heard haha.

  • i can hear some motorhead influence for sure, but i think they still have there own sound as well. both bands are great in my opinion.

  • If  anyone think this guys sounds like lemmy then they are clearly deaf and or stupid

  • /watch?v=SGFX_tzbbyM

    "im just cursed with the lemmy voice"

    straight from the horse's mouth

    lolwut?

  • I get the impression that this is something along the lines of what Motorhead would sound like if they catered to the metal scene today.

  • @jackledger1 wait, what?

  • While there is some vocal similarity to Lemmy. It by no means makes this band uninteresting. One of the top ten bands of the decade, easily.

  • the singer sounds alot like the singer from motorhead

  • No. You are wrong and this is not a matter of opinion. Matt Pike sounds NOTHING like Ian Kilmister...

  • funny you should say that, this first time i ever heard his vocals, i imeadiatly got a lemmy-sounding vibe from him.

  • The vocalist in HoF is Matt Pike, and Yeah hes does sound alot like Lemmy from Motorhead

  • drummer is raaad

  • I remember getting this song on a magazine compilation CD in 2005 - I never much liked it and put the CD away. Finally, having swapped my liking of Maroon 5 for Metallica and even Meshuggah, I dug the CD out last night. I was amazed at how good this was! I had only remembered fast/screamy/much too heavy for me, but now there is no such thing as too heavy for me. I love HoF now! Incidentally, the car in the video is a 1950s/60s Jaguar, either a Mk2, an S-type or a 420, for those who're interested

  • Congratulations you now see the light

  • I saw these guys live last year. Every single note they played was as heavy as a bomb detonating. And they played those notes pretty rapidly. Think about what that combination sounds like. What a fantastic group.

  • Right on, man- I imagine them to sound exactly like that. I'm hoping to see them next month with Mastodon.

  • I wanna start a band like this, but I know no one who likes this kind of metal. It makes me sad :(

  • Well, actually making a band in order to have many fans is pretty stupid.

    Start a band and play what you think is the best music in the world and your band will be good.

    I wish you luck ;)

  • Haha that's basically what I do. I'm fine with putting myself in a corner with a select few musicians to make badass music that we enjoy :)

    I'm still working and I'll be working on improving until the day I die.

  • this kind shit is doom metal dude not many peps know about it

  • dont you think HoF is abit too fast to be doom metal, I mean maybe some of their earlier releases have some doom tinged scapes, but coming off BBW and DITC they're far thundering and charging thrash paced than the legendary Dopesmokers droning doom

  • I beg to differ man. I love this kind of metal, and I know there are a lot of weird motherfuckers like me out there. Therefore it'd be great to start a band like this.

  • Shit you're complaining? I'm 12 years old trying to form either a stoner death or thrash metal band in philadelphia.

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 Move to DC dude, lets do this.

  • Comment removed

  • @jprenderg Haha if you mean Washington DC then I'm like an hour away.

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 Well considering that this video has over one hundred THOUSAND people have watched and enjoyed this video alone, I'm pretty sure metal has a following. Try a little harder before you get depressed.

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 lol dude if ya wanted to start a band all you would have to do is find mates who play, like i did with my brother.....its acctually really easy if you know where to look

  • Yeah I want to start a band just like this but w/ a little Sabbath and The Sword thrown into the mix. I bleed stoner rock/metal.

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 Fuck everyone, and don't copy. Start a band for yourself, not in another bands image, whatever comes out when you play, is the music you create. Too many bands nowadays just copy everyone else, come up with something new, the music scene is mundane and boring. There are very few bands who're doing something NEW and good.

  • @bloodpollution21 Fuckin' amen, brother! I've been writing and recording by myself for a few years now and I can finally take control of what I want to make and how it'll sound. I've been writing some heavy and sludgy stuff!

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 move somewhere with less democrats.

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 youd be very surprised

  • @vikingwizardeyes2121 dont let what other people think determine what music you play mang!

  • brutal ass bassist.

  • badass. <--- period

    here's another.

  • music is good but not a fan of the singing

  • F*CKIN' OUTSTANDING!

    These guys always were the real deal.

  • Awesome

  • i agree with the lotus eater. (an eater of me as he may be.) i listen to music for well music, not to to be thought of as metal. some people think im metal some dont. but i dont care im in it for the music not the style

  • He has cool teeth!

  • what style of metal would this be considered

  • stoner metal ;)

  • stoner metal

  • i would better say stoner sludge metal...

  • yeah most of their songs fall into that category. this song sounds a lot more like thrash metal then sludge metal to me though

  • yeah...maybe :P

  • metal metal

  • Why's everybody thumbs downing this poor smuck? He makes an innocent observation (and not a particularly dumb one), and everybody picks on him.

    Stay strong, ball cancer guy.

  • HIGH ON FIRE HAS REAL POWER !!!! Im happy to see that we have bands like HIGH ON FIRE and MASTODON around. these bands are the true sucessors of Slayer and Metallica (the good one). These bands are the rebirth of true american metal.

  • can't they both be good, plus aren't they both on tour together right now?

  • Y'know what is funny? I listen to Opeth, and Andromeda, Gamma Ray,  symphony x, Spiral architecht ,savatage,Meshuggah, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica. I also listen to Slayer, exodus, napalm death,I also LOVE Old school In Flames, Dark tranquillity, Death, Aborted, Emperor, Immortal and Dimmu Borgir. The point i am trying to make is that you are a douchebag elitist who probably likes things for the sake of image rather than an actual love of the music. Fuck you dude, you are not metal.

  • @TheLotusEater725 I hate fuckers like that too....I listen to music because i like it,I get tired of hearing about all the different genre's,I don't care if its speed,thrash,deathcore,death,w­hatever...I LIKE METAL,I don't need it to have a tag.

  • @TheLotusEater725

    Now why would you say a thing like that? I mean the bands you just listed are in fact awesome as hell but ROCK or let's say METAL units us all who listen to any kind of rock music!

    Metal isn't dividing people just because it has different styles.

    No offense :-)

  • @TheLotusEater725 damn i would love to meet you in person man...didn't think anyone else loved those bands like me you fucking rule! \m/

  • yeah and your one of them.......

  • Said the man who doesn't know how to spell.

  • thats an epic fail on your part my friend

  • Said the OTHER man who doesn't know how to spell.

  • Bitching has 1 "n" and a "g" at the end of it captain wow

  • Because popularity has everything to do with quality.

    /sarcasm

  • listen dude I dig Opeth and Baroness brilliantly talented musicians without a doubt, but dude High on Fire has their own sound the fact you bring Opeth and Baroness into this arguement is irrelevent, you cant compare bands that are in different 'pigeon holes' so to speak

  • I saw all three bands (maybe two years ago)... Baroness, High on Fire, then Opeth... I must say... High on Fire was definitely the most memorable performance that night, though Opeth is still my favorite band. Can't wait for their new album...

  • METAL!!!!!!

  • High on Motherfuckin' Fire is awesome!

  • i meant i was joking, im from another world

  • Watch the 4 minute version. It's better. The non-band images remind me of Hotel California's lyrics.

  • this is scary! D:!

  • rock on!!

    and a hard on too!!

    heheh

  • isn't this band called motorhead?

  • wow go kill yourself, lol jk dude, no its not motorhead but they sound a lot like em

  • no but one of them used to be in sleep, who used to tour with hawkwind, which was lemmy's band before motorhead

  • Heavy as fuck!

  • estan enfermos estos tipos!! k zarpada banda la verdad lo mejor de lo mejor!

  • very good :0 zajebiste

  • These guys are unfuckinbeleivable!!!

  • only preston could look bored here.

  • This is a great precursor to Rumors of War.

  • Saw them at Gigantour in Vancouver. Unbelievable show.

  • those drums are so fucking intense LIVE

  • fuck yeah, went to see them opening for Opeth with Baroness. Drums were insane.

  • Where you at the Houston show? That's where I saw them. They fun as hell.

  • Nah, was at The Monarch in Austin.

  • that would of being a hell of a gig

  • Oh man, it was. one of the best ive been to, fucking insane. The place they played at had perfect sound, it didnt sound all muffled and crap.

  • Baroness are badass, if you like them you should check out Kylesa and BlackTusk two other great Savannah bands, especially BlackTusk one of the simplest but heaviest bands out today.

  • i saw them on gigantour and they kicked major ass. best fuckin' show ever.

  • meathead

  • joke

  • dammit, when I went I meed their show by like 30 seconds

  • i discovered this band in show called ''gigantour 2008'' . It'S good !!

  • eh its good but not my style

  • Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee­eeeeee!!!!!!!!

  • These guys are opening for Opeth, and I wanted to see a little of them before I went to the show. Not bad. It's not prog metal at all, but it's not terrible.

  • Its amazing dude stoner metal lol

  • The drum intro in the full version changed my life. I think anyone who actualy takes time to watch the video should get to hear the whole thing.

  • Metal...

  • must be my favorite high on fire song...

  • VERY POWERFUL

  • Well, as far as metal goes at least

  • Rumors of war is very similar to this, but I like this song more! High on fire is fucking great. Death is this communion is one of my 10 favorite albums, probably.

  • High on Fire fans! Please check out my High on FIre video!

  • they remind me of motorhead fucking megadeth

  • fuckin eh man thats what i said!!!!!! well the motorhead part lol but i do see a little megadeth  speaking of megadeth... i saw them with high on fire and job for a cowboy and children of bodom and in flames at gigantour in toronto... it was fuckin incredible we burned a bible in the high on fire pit

  • reminds me of a band named go devil.

    and motorhead.

  • This music video really chopped the song up. Where's the beginning drum solo? Why did it end so abruptly? Incredible song though.

  • alcoholic beast

  • this shit is riff madness.

  • Oh my God, this song...pure glory.

  • High on Fire live is something else

  • this is creepy/ballin pike's a god

  • Poor Joe Preston. It's like he somehow got a good reputation but he keeps getting kicked out of bands that make actual music. He should stick to Thrones, making noise and playing the same distorted bass riff for 20 minutes or whatever he's up to these days. I wonder if they kicked him out for never taking a shower like the Melvins did?

  • he left on his own terms, he couldn't keep up with the constant partying.

  • He's in Harvey Milk now, which is a great uber-weird experimental metal band from Athens, Georgia. Their latest album (feauturing Joe Preston on bass) just came out last week. You should check it out. It's called "Life...The Best Game In Town."

  • thats cool man, I'll check them out as I love preston.

  • He's in Harvey Milk now, which is a great uber-weird experimental metal band from Athens, Georgia. Their latest album (feauturing Joe Preston on bass) just came out last week. You should check it out. It's called "Life...The Best Game In Town."

  • dude doesnt anyone here think that pike sounds like lemmy from motorhead?

  • He totally does. I thought I was the only one who noticed that...

  • If Lemmy were able to inhale car exhaust for a week straight without dying (which he could, because as we all know, his mole gives him superhuman abilities), this is what he would sound like.

  • he sure does

  • Lol, read almost every comment. I only have one thing to say. All these bands are better than 50 cent and green day. And thats all I care about (Love all metal and rock, stop being stupid people).

  • at 1:42 it becomes super awesome! love that riff.

  • 1) everyone IS entitled to there own opion so stop arguing

    2) don't like Megadeth for the simple fact that Mustaine is a self-centered asshole who treats his FANS (people who got him as far as he is) like shit. BUT Megadeth is one of the first thrash bands.

    3) This is a High on Fire video you guys should be talking about how much of a killer drummer Des Kensel is. Not how famous Megadeth is.

  • Elegy0660 :ey faggot,megadeth is a master of thrash!!! fuck you!!!

  • master of trash maybe... most defiantely not master of thrash!

  • megadeth rulesssss,,,,,

  • I saw all those band live on Gigantour (as I'm sure many of the people on here may have as well) and they all performed good live, but I really think Megadeth and COB are the best ones on that tour. No band are ripping off other bands, are you kidding me? So what, Alexi was sitting in the studio saying,

    "You know what guys, let's rip off another band!" I don't think so somehow...

    JFAC sucks. Period.

    In Flames is alright.

    High On Fire needs to stop.

    Their songs ALL sounded the same live.

  • I think that everyone is entitled to there own opinion.

    Mine is the following.

    JFAC is cool

    In Flames is kickass

    High on fire is ehh alright.

    Megadeath sucks.

    And you are a douch.

  • Alright... ?

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion than accept mine too dude, it's not demeaning to you or anybody else... Who cares if I don't like the same shit you do? You obviously don't like the same as me...

    Everybody needs to stop saying people are fucking stupid because they don't like the same bands as somebody else... It's music...

    Who cares?

  • You could at least spell Megadeth right, even though you obviously haven't listened to them. JFAC Sucks, the others you mentioned are fucking awesome.

  • more like blowjob for a cowboy, am i right?

  • Most "cowboys" are gays who eat pudding (except Pantera the rock!).

  • Thats right, everyone IS entitled to their own opinions.

    Calling him a doosh just because he doesn't like one or two bands you do is total Hypocracy.

    Not to offend, but its true.

  • this song makes my thrash metal cock hard. These guys have a purity to them that almost every current metal band lacks. They're all abunch of fake bands created by MTV or some cliche bullshit. But High on Fire seems genuine. I wanna see them live to find out for sure. I also wanna take my harley out and wreck people's yards to this song.

  • megadeth it's the best , don't compare son of a bich

  • i wasnt comparing high on fire and megadeth. if you watch any videos of interviews of mustaine or tried to meet him like i have you'd know what the fuck you're trying to talk about as far as how much of an asshole he is. he's a fucking snot with his nose so high in the air its ridiculous, fuck him and fuck you.

  • megadeth fucking rock

  • False, get metallica's cock outta ur ears lol

  • Dave Mustaine is a fucking gingerhead pussy. He if someone, is overrated.

    Inflames,JFAC,COB and high on fire would do just fine without megadeth. Megadeth doesn't fit on the bill

  • Oh quit you bitching

  • High On Fire and Megadeth are the only good bands on that tour. Luckily there both great bands or else it would be a complete waste of money and time.

    Job For a Cowboy are a disgrace to metal. Children of Bodom needs to stop ripping off At The Gates. In Flames needs to just stop making music, they were ok before now it's just terrrible.

  • Do you have an unidentified brain tumor or something? You can't possibly say Megadeth is good... That's ridiculous dude.

    Megadeth is a disgrace to the whole music world end of discussion

  • hahaha they suck so much that they've sold 20 million records, are pioneers of thrash, have seven Grammy nominations and have been around for 25 years. Whether you like it or not, they rule...period.

    You listen to Devildriver, Lamb of God, Trivium and As I Lay Dying..which means you fail at life and metal.
