yeah its auto-wah, he wouldnt be bouncing around like that if he had to control it himself, same effect used in that beefier bit at the start. probably one of the few examples of auto-wah not sucking really.
Fuck me! What a band, I was reading an article saying that Biffy Clyro were "everything a rock band should be" well Cog should be everything Biffly Clyro want to be and I love BC but there ain't no band like Cog!
Mixing was really bad, it was very difficult to make out the different instruments, also they pretty much only played songs from sharing space (2 or 3 from new normal, none from eps). I was really pumped to at least hear moshiach.
Love cog, never been anything but blown away by their live performances. If you haven't seen them live and you have the opportunity to do so, I would strongly recommend taking it.
Maybe it's just my tele, but its a shame more of the bass doesn't come through on this recording, its what really drives the intro to this song.
i spent 1995, at an undisclosed eastern suburbs highschool with luke, the bass player. he was an extremely funny guy, always laughing, cracking jokes & pranks. He wasn't playing much music then as far as I know & his (modest) claim to fame was his brother was in 'the hanging tree'. Well, seems the best thing to happen was him & flynn teaming up with lucius to cause havoc & throw a curse or two on the illuminati! Fuck the system. Free your mind. Good to see someone leading in that direction. Amen
I'm a Canadian Living here in Perth and if I would've heard about these guys when I was back in Canada, I wouldn't be the only one who is blown away by them. I agree with bojosoto, if they haven't gone overseas yet, they should.
these guys would blow up in North America, that's without a doubt. Great tunes! Remind me of Clutch bigtime but better...
Hear hear !! They should win an ARIA for 'best alternative', 'biggest balls' or whatever. With the good video clips they're doin these days I reckon they're gonna make it !
Without a doubt,one of Australia's finest.Agreed they have mellowed a bit with age,but their musical prowess has unwavered,& Flynn Gower's vocals have matured for the better.Cog should be a household name,but I fear they may be just a little too clever for the status quo(& the corrupt money-making machine that is ARIA).But there's nothing like the old power trio!
dude, this is spot on. cog are one of australia's best bands, and they really need to get themselves out going shows overseas cause they are puerly amazing!
try myspace. its always a great way to find stuff from bands. not sure about releases outside the US or what label. YOu might just have to fall back to iTunes ( yuk ). new album will be out soon, and I would expect a global release. these guys are just too good to keep to ourselves. Going to see them live in jsut over a month!
I still find their material interesting enough for them to be my favourite band :) But yes, to an extent I do know what you mean. I miss the winding and brutally heavy riffs, the mind bending time signatures and great experimental feel that used to be in their music. Bit I still love them.
these boys are the fucking coolest cats, you guys that have met/(and the most important part) Heard their music, Its just the undescribable. Rock's fucking finest.
Question 4 guitarists, At 3:32 when flynn is doing the hammer riff, What effect do you think he's using? at first I thought phaser but now think its an auto wha effect. Only at the end of the riff it stays real trebley like a wha fully forward, maybe he is just manually using a wha but its hard to tell in this vid. Anyone seen this song live??
Sounds like an auto wah because of how regular it sounds... and hes bouncing around while tapping so i doubt its a manual wah. But hey, I'm a bassist, what do I know :P
it is an autowah that is set to do the "wah" part and peak when the signal gets strong, i.e he picks it. this exact effect is on the BOSS gt set of effects boards. i know for sure its on the gt-8 as i own one and the gt-3.
it is the same effect used at the start. he is just using that effect and palm muting the frets at 9 and 10
WOW...my friend just showed me COG and i thought they were pretty cool. Ive always been a massive Tool fan aswell, but Cog are awsome. and im glad we have an aussie band like this ;)
They are unreal but that logic sux they are closer to being BOG as you don't need to spell it backwards and only substitute the one letter as you did. Still, they are my favourite aussie band
I saw this performance on the gig years ago and it was actually the first time I ever heard COG. I have loved them ever since although I prefer the older stuff apart from River Song. I'm blown away by how good this performance was, actually sounds tighter and more inspired than any of the shows I have ever seen, and I've seen heaps. Cheers to whoever posted it.
