Y'all remember when High on Fire was obscure enough for even the cool kids to like? Too bad they had to get somewhat popular, thereby ruining any chance they had of appealing to kult basement dwellers everywhere. Surely they knew that everyone in the know judges bands by how few people know about them
@Maglavar high on fire obscure? lol matt pike left sleep and made HoF, so everybody knew about them. Besides, popularity shouldn't matter when deciding if a band is good or not.
@wooboy11 Please reread my comment, and this time, see if you can't detect at least a little sarcasm. I know it can sometimes be hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic through writing, but in this case, its pretty thinly veiled
@BetterTasteThanU Dude just cuz you dont like it doesnt mean you have a right to insult it. At least not on their page. If you dont like it then why didnt you just get off the page and go listen to something you like instead of wasting your time typing up an insult instead using that time listening to and enjoying music you actually like?
@nonicknamekid2010 Yeah but I think most of Youtube would agree that people hunting down videos just to insult them is getting really old, really fast.
i got such amazing footage of their show.. like atleast 15 amazing ang videos only got to upload 1 short 1 b4 my computer froze and crashed.. fuckin steamed!!!!
@ mybandishighvoltage yeah man the show was bad ass.. till i got boted outta THE SHOW HALF WAY DURRIN THEIR SET 4 RECORDING THE SHOW WITH A FLIP VIDEO CAMERA... faggot ass treamont security
well i saw them at the roseland theater for the dethklok/mastodon tour. i got to meet matt pike. it was an awesome moment for me, he was blazed as can be too. badass
i noticed the same thing! i was trying to figure out what it was or where it could be found. On the inside of Death is this communion vinyl it is the same shape with 3 pelicans...and then theres the neurosis sickle shirt..
Cannot wait for October 27th, Mastodons Crack The Skye Album was pretty much amazing, anything High On Fire does is absolutely crushing. Going to be epic
That's a killer line-up, envious!! Too bad that these bands rarely play in Europe. It's been 4 or 5 years since I saw Mastodon and I'm still anxiously waiting for HOF..
one of the greatest HOF songs ever spawned from the dark pits of metal awesomness. up among the ranks of "Rumors of War", "Deviloution" and "Speedwolf".
What he's wearing and the way he's just standing there really just don't fit with the energy of the music he's playing. Bass is definitely an important aspect of the song, and I don't deny that he's doing that much right, and I hate to be so judgemental, but he was playing in one of the heaviest bands to date, and I want my bassists of heavy bands to act like they're playing heavy music, not washing dishes, you know? Music is still very image associated and I don't mind that at all.
do u know anything about metal matt pike created sleep metal so fuck off pooples474, u must not like metal if u dont like high on fire and why r u commenting negative things on there vids just dont watch them asshole, and second id like to see u play half of the riffs he comes up with ...faggot
all the bands on gigantour suck balls these dudes and maybe megadeth were the only ones worth watching children of scrodom and unemployment for an indian both blow hahaha
I liked HOF more than all (I was front of the floor for them and Bodom) But you can't say Children of Bodom suck, because that's just a lie. I'd like to see some vids of you playing bodom shit, and failing miserably. Alexi beats the fuck out of most metal guitarists these days. Skill/talent wise, runs circles around Matt Pike. As a writer though Alexi's not very good. Lake Bodom is their best song.
can you believe these guys went on first at Gigantour? They fucking slay almost every band on the lineup, possibly even megadeth... yet they went on before fucking job for a cowboy even... fucking so gay
In flames is really no longer a metal band and Children of Bodom just arnt that good. High on Fire is Stoner/Sludge metal. Though, this guy seems to have a totally different vocal style live than on the records..
Hah... Yeah In Flames aren't good anymore, you're a crackhead if you think Children of Bodom aren't any good, because Alexi is one of the most talented metal guitarists in our lifetime. High on Fire isn't Stoner/Sludge metal, are you handicapped? They're far too agressive for that. Listen to one of Matt Pike's previous bands - SLEEP and you'll find out what stoner metal is, fool. Every band's vocals seem different live, because theyre not studio polished. BTW
Are you fucking retarded? Because I said Metal? Or because someone else said High on Fire were stoner/sludge metal, and I said they weren't because they aren't? Get your head out of your ass. Different genres exist in music, whether you like it or not.
dude I'm just telling you to stfu and just enjoy the music. I'm tired of people talking about how fucking METAL or how fucking STONER bands are, who gives a fuck...if its good, its good. "Listen to one of Matt Pike's previous bands - SLEEP and you'll find out what stoner metal is, fool" saying that made you sound fucking retarded. I don't mind genres is just when people talk about them like a fucking trend. genres are to organized music not to get these close minded conformists for each genre.
Dude, you're the only person who should shut the fuck up. That wasn't my intention. I was simply giving an example of stoner metal, because this comment perturbed me:
GothslayerEma
High on Fire is Stoner/Sludge metal.
If you were to start harassing someone in the first place, why wouldnt it be the person who made the original comment? Being a giant douchebag and pissing your pants over something I said, makes YOU sound fucking retarded.
I'm just stating this shits ridiculous, people need to just enjoy the music instead of worry about their equipment, genre, hair styles, and more trendy bullshit. your correcting someone on genres when genres shouldn't matter. modern media has ruined views of music so bad that people can't even listen to the music anymore and understand it. they just listen to it cause it fits their lifestyle of whatever trendy figure they are and use band members as someone to rip off. I'm sorry I ranted.
Fair to rant, considering I agree with you. I guess i'm sorry for freaking you out by correcting someone. I wasnt trying to imply anything about lifestyle or trendiness, i was simply making a correction where it seemed obvious.
hey I'm sorry bro. I was drunk and in a bad mood. thing with the internet its hard to interpret what people's intentions in what they are saying and I jumped to a conclusion. you got to admit there are alot of mindless people on here tho.
You're one of the people who see the pattern and the sheep doing the bull. We need less boneheads, less people who think that when they buy a guitar they need to buy what looks good, less 'I must not be emo'-losers, less 'Slayer was great in '87' and WAY less 'lulz my genre is important to my self-image so now we need to argue about abstracts'. I also laugh at that "the XXs was the best time in music"-thing. In general: weird, fucked up ideas about music. You are so right.
@gex581990 Only reason I worry about Equipment others are using is as a musician, I might want to know what a someone is using. I understand where you are coming from, bro, but i take issue with complaining about others asking or debating equipment.
i went to gigantour for the sole purpose of seeing high on fire, and by the time i got out of the line and into the building, they had already played three of five songs. The rest of the night sucked, but megadeth was good. Doesn't matter, though. There coming to WPG in september (with Opeth of all people...) and i aint missing shit.
This is absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite songs EVAR! Seriously, I'd give my larger testicle to be able to write songs this awesome. Crushinglingly heavy, totally beautiful: the perfect combination. Almost brings me to tears.
And I'll show you how to tap. It's not about the technique, it's about the actual notes. The interaction of the vocal line and the (wonderfully simple) riff, the melody during the break, etc. I can play like that no problem; it's the writing part that's hard.
