Death - Symbolic

[ThyArtIsMetal]

10 years today, your contributions to music will live on forever brother R.I.P

[warmaster2006]

10 years...You are missed for sure brother!

[tinymillie]

he was a bad mother trucker singing and played guitar to a t

[themetalsky]

6 minuti di puro death metal !

[dzzz78]

Symbolic (maybe Crystal Mountain actually, heard on a local radio) was my first contact with metal. Favorite metal album since then, hands down; still waiting for a contender…

[kelter1234]

i think..... chuck was killed off because like many other people, chuck tryed to spread the truth around the world and for some reason all the people in this world who try to make a diffrence for the better end up dying before there time:(

[85Aheadstix]

@kelter1234 What?, he died of brain stem cancer, he was no anti conspiricist.

[pant3rafan8]

Death changed my life, greatest band of all time

[the666misfit666]

I think i like the albums from human to sounds of perserverance cuz chuck talks about life n shit n it really makes me think but as for scream bloody gore n leprosy those albums r fuckin sikk too!.. R.I.P. chuck!

[beckerf4n]

he had to die for playin to the gods in the parnassus.

[SuperHOOPS16]

All Hail DEATH

[rockr4ever12]

Thank god death has no vevo

[spartan1881]

Those were the days in the early 90's just kickn back on a bright summer day in a boring suburban town...jamm'n to true music...... I really miss chuck.....

[droppinplates84]

@Rawr....dude you are so right.....Death is so much better live.....I love all their shuff, but Chuck brings out the life in death

[Rawri3]

Quality is a little poor on the sound here. But man, Death are so fucking awesome live.. I prefer listening to the live tracks than the studio ones! Obviously the studio tracks are perfect but there's something to Chuck's playing when he's live, and I prefer the vocals he uses live.

One of the few bands who does not only live up to their recordings when playing live - they actually beat them.

[Rodrigoeltuco]

why did he die? we miss you and your music

why not do lady gaga and justin gayber die? we hate them

[vallerosi]

RIP

[WMajchrzak]

R.I.P. Chuck! Never forgotten music idol of my tennage years!

[carnivourlocust]

HIS VOCALS ARE TOTALLY KILLER :O

[krizzi666]

Dimarzio X2N in that guitar is so fucking awesome... btw CHUCK RULES ALL DEATH METAL \ m / !

[PPanzerr]

Im not sure when this was played but its a shame that great unknown bands like Death had to go up against shit bands like Nirvana and got fucked over for being possibly the best musicians at the time

[damonfortune2]

the quality is actually pretty good!

[soxinite]

Epic!!

[necroshyha]

Shannon Hamm is to weak to play Koelble's solos

[DiaaBelal]

RIP Chuck .. Best Vocalist & Guitarist ever .

[OathOfDruid]

i want that back drop for my room n_n

[elementskater94]

i wish they made a death trilogoy containing of albums

[droschmisch]

Best Album ever!!!!!!!!!!!

[maidenfans]

truth!!!

symbolic best album ever!!

[killerme99]

Badass!!!

[r0yce2163]

this sounds to good to be live

[LFRZ93]

Chuck Schuldiner I wish the world could have had a longer share of your life.

Everyone go check out the band he made after leaving Death, Control Denied.

[TimelessWinter89]

He didn't "leave" Death for Control Denied. Control Denied actually started before Death dissolved, but Death was under contract with Nuclear Blast to do one last album (Sound of Perseverence).

[vanillabulba]

Talk about cuntructive cryticism... Hey, fella! Can you give atleast one objective comment on why Death sucks, lircally, musically, creatively... Even if your a fuckin' troll, answer this? Loser... go do something reproductive you waste of flesh.

[OreMartin17]

true man... thats why rock and metal aren't anymore mainstream and never will be again. 90's was a step back for metal. But i must said that Death is a good band and is sad really that metal isnt mainstream anymore because now you can see bands doing everything to become mainstream (Nu Metal, Melodic Metalcore, Alt Rock). Is sad

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

90s was amazing for meta... Spiritual Healing, Human, Individual Though Patterns, Symbolic, Sound of Perseverance, and thats just death. Effigy of the Forgotten, Pierced from Within from Suffocation. I could go on for ever

[Gnomercii718]

dude agreed lol pierced from within is my fave suffocation album

[LFRZ93]

You are fucking stupid, what the fuck do you listen to?

[sillystuff333]

@thricegod1288 FUCK YOU

[fallenintocrap]

I was lucky enough to catch them on tour in NJ when Gene Hoglan was drumming...very cool guys. Cynic opened up and during Deaths set, the power went out in the club and they just came off the stage and chilled for a bit...RIP Chuck

[theBlackCerimoner]

@fallenintocrap JUST LUCKY??? DEATH w HOGLAN + CYNIC!!! YOUR A FUCKIN' BLESSED GUY!! :(

[AgnostikSeven]

Finally Death gets the recognition that they deserve! Too bad its happening 9 years later,.... I loved Chuck since Sounds of Perseverance was released! Now i know that's not saying much but i was only 12 at that time! Since the first Studio album was released in 1987! Two years after i was born! haha Crazy shit man,... anyway! LOVE CHUCK, LONG LIVE THE KING OF DEATH! "Stay Strong and Hold on TIGHT!!" - C Schuldiner

[agadon1982]

Death will live forever. Long live Death. RIP Chuck Schuldiner

[XzPlayeRTwOXz]

Im sorry, I agree and all, but the irony in saying long live death is over 9000... but seriously, fuckin great band....

[00heavymetalislife00]

there is a picture of Chuck Schuldiner in the dictionary next to greatest musician ever

[Ninjaro]

This dude is starting to influence me... the more I listen to him.....

[hdrevolution123]

don't let him get to you!!!!

[Ninjaro]

It's Death Metal man. IT's IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN I FIND THE RIGHT DRUMMER.

[HerveGamerDude]

@00heavymetalislife00 what distionary?

[SJgunguy24]

I got to see Death play at One Step Beyond in Santa Clara in 1993.  Glad I got to see one of the best up close. RIP Chuck

[chauchidze]

best metal lyrics ever... CHcuk was very talented songwriter not only the BEST metal gutarist and bets DEATH METAL vocalist!!!1

[rt36crazyfists]

I don't like shannon Hamm Live, he ruins chucks beautiful songs

[ac23AQ]

There is a god. And his name is Chuck Schuldiner.

Death for Life!™

[Braindropsx]

I LOVVE this song

i also think its awesome that he just says "thank you so much" etc at the end. its refreshing cuz a shizload of bands these days say stupid shit "or say THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!" whereas chuck just says "thank you"

chuck > everyone else

=]

[thrownheat]

Its amazing how much Nergal from Behemoth looks like Chuck Shuldiner..anybody else ever notice the resemblance?

[SadisticAbductive]

no?

[Rafals1993]

nope, Nergal's hair is straight :D

[ThrashingBlackDeath]

Chuck is a genius \m/

HAIL DEATH!

HAIL CHUCK!

[iceobreakers]

death is no2 after maiden!!RIP Chuck!!

[iceobreakers]

kickass song

[JakeSnae123]

R.I.P. Chuck, your music changed lives and makes most other music look like shit.

[ATtTheGates]

Couldn't have put it better.

[ElianGonzalex]

@JakeSnae123 well said

[mikedahotguy]

damn i wish i couldve seen death live my life would be complete rip chuck

[ThisIsNotVincent]

This is the song that got me into Death. I was just so drawn into it. Everything fit perfectly together. How could something so heavy sound so beautiful?

[StaulkHolm]

i get the feeling that alot of other guitarists are going to die while these Emo fags make horrible music. cliff, Chuck And Dime, probably alot more un fortunately.

[Graveit309]

You make a good point there.

[bobert3152]

well that's being really positive (rolls eyes)

keep your head up...true metal will live on, we will crush these fags

[StaulkHolm]

i know its bullshit that the talent has to go but someone fills up the space in some way.

[StaulkHolm]

also to Quote Adam D "MY GINY HURTS BECAUSE MY FRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME, GET OVER IT YOU PUSSY EMO FAG" Cracks me up everytime

[HstfSengir]

Yeah. Beautiful idea to bathe the world in blood of lesser beings. But yet no one dared to start it.

[Bardarnok]

Check out the dripping from Chuck's left elbow around 2:05.

[ibtsv]

And around 5:35 lol

[elementskater94]

why must the good die young ?!?!?!

[GiannakarosMaiden]

only the good die young-iron maiden

but they become legends...R.i.p. Chuck

[helmetheadofdeath]

dime bags shred is not even close to chucks shred hahaha dime bag is cool dont get me wrong just not as cool or as good at guitar as chuck .

[salahfcb]

RIP Chuck !

[menterockera87]

Hmmm..., Chuck on vocals/rythm(Death), Dimebag on Lead(Pantera) , Cliff Burton on bass(Metallica) and Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka drumms (Decapitated). This great band is making Jesus and his diciples headbang right now.

[05insomnium]

Missed Quorthorn?!?! But i geuss it would be pretty weird throwing him into the mix.

[lalberts]

coolest comment ever.

[respectwalk13]

haha well said bro!

[realone211]

One of the coolest bands if it would exist....

[orugnet]

Dimebag on lead? haha made me laugh.

[stonerface000]

maybe on rythm....Chuck is WAY more talented..no offense...but there will always be a special place in my heart for dime RIP BOTH DIME AND CHUCK!!!!

[Moorkh]

RIP Chuck... As someone said in another discussion thread "Hope you're having the most wonderful jam sessions ever in heaven with dimebag and other late godfathers of the scene.

[BandanaWedgie]

Hmmm..., Chuck on vocals/rythm, Dimebag on Lead and Cliff Burton on bass. Now though, we need a drummer.

[Deathmetalfan69]

vitek maybe????

[ledman120]

uuuuuhhhhh John Bonam from led zepplin???

[RottInPeace666]

kill lars : P

[MegaDeth13itch]

lets see if dave lombardo or nick menza dies anytime soon! xD R.I.P. CHUCK!

[aznkriss133]

he is too great but at least he has a good drummer with him lol

RIP CHUCK and VItek

i have all of Death's studio albums and when ever i listen to them. i feel kinda empty that he is not with us anymore. i only wish i had found out about death before Chuck died. at least im getting through high school by looking up to him and his amazing songs and learning from them

RIP CHUCK AND BE AT PEACE FOREVER

\m/

[05insomnium]

Well said. Yeah their later stuff was definately quite thoughtful, i love 1000 eyes off this album.

[ceoitaly]

All tears through the river...

All screams along forests...

All lights of Rome...just remember me Chuck.

Love ya!

[MetalHybrid]

Chuck deserved a longer life. I love his music and his playing. In this generation full of untalented generic trendy musicians in metal, we really could use Chuck to show these new bands what real metal is. RIP Chuck. We all love you and your music.

[ironinu113]

R.I.P Chuck

[2112dim]

It's ironic how a man who sang about death in so many songs died so early...We all miss you.R.I.P.Chuck

[Talaramama]

not only sang, his band's name as well!? ! DEATH.

[MortaniusTaijou]

Chuck Schuldnider is music, he is Metal.

[MortaniusTaijou]

He was Death my friend; Vocalist, Guitars, Composer, Lyrics, Lead Guitars.

When Man and Machine Collide - Control Denied was more than 80% done and they couldn't finish it without Chuck because they could never live up to his creative genius and those are words straight from the band.

[mightymetman]

Npt 100% accurate. From a few more recent articles i've read... album is finished and was finished before chuck died, it needs vocals and some post production work, but the music is there. It's just alot of record label bullshit, as always and has always been. Have you heard about James Murphy's Death Tribute album with TONS of contemporary people on it?

[MortaniusTaijou]

Dude! I never knew this, sorry it has been a while since I last read on the album. That is awesome news man!

And to your question, nope I had no idea! So what is the deal on that one, I would love to get my hands on it. Is it out, coming out, and who is on it?

[MortaniusTaijou]

Had no idea, cool. Doing my finals, my brain is not connecting anything except animation programs at the moment lol

[Helveteskrigeren]

@MortaniusTaijou

You forgot that he also played bass on the early albums. Truly a 360° musician.

[MortaniusTaijou]

Hahaha do forgive me. :)

[Blackenedistheway]

I got this on dvd cuz it came with my Deluxe edition of the Sound of Perseverance

[mightymetman]

ME too! GREAT buy. 15$ and you get a damn decent full bootleg and an AWESOME album.

[leifericson923]

fuck cancer,fuck pneomonia.

[MortaniusTaijou]

Fuck the American Health Care system and Insurance, i.e. FUCK HMO

That is what really killed Chuck, not letting him get his operations in time and also misdiagnosis of his conditions.

[joogalentaja]

Here in world (especially in US) money have replaced gos. Money means everything and people have became so materialistic. in Finland everybody gets healthcare no matter if you don't have money and I think it's good system (as long as it's here money probably flows from that to more "important" things soon...)

[RHCPfan]

Finland isn't the only country to offer good healthcare. Many countries such as Canada offer a good healthcare system, but America fails to enforce their so-called "American Dream" by allowing the innocent poor to die because of their maladies but the materialistic and useless rich to live on...

[FerreBoy]

AGREED...

[PsychoMenkz]

I'm from Canada and trust me, our "free health-care system" has some fucked up areas, it isn't that great as you guys talk.

[KissMeImPunk]

He would've had a better chance.

[fua80]

FUCKING AMAZING

[paparias123]

I Think Chuck Makes better solo in that live...In La i dont like it R.I.P my friend!!!

[FutileExistence]

Fucking insane!! Better than studio version!!! R.I.P. Chuck Schildiner \m/

[CxRxAxSxH]

R.I.P Chuck. Amazing!!

[sahnestueck321]

you can see the sweat dripping from chuck´s arm

[FutileExistence]

yeah...

[VELKAN08]

SE LE VE LA PELONA A CHUCK :o

[godionysus]

go watch some indonesian dance and let deaths videos to those like it. miserable person.

[nickmeadrums]

you know i listen to metal bands from the mainstream and the not so big to the complete underground but you know how all these kids are like oh i like bands like

lamb of god,killswitch engage,slipknot. most death fans is like oh yeah i like bands like death,ihsahn,nile those are just examples but thats how it goes for me at school

[Erotomaniax]

nickmeadrums Your comment made absolutely no sense my friend :op

[Frikisiano]

Fucking destiny , the best people go first RIP chuck, see you in hell

[hell198]

i don't think that chuck went to hell

he wasn't a satanist

[xfunereal]

"God" hates rock.

He went to hell, where he is shredding with the other greats.

[MURDERED2DEATH]

im going to tell you what ive been telling all the other faggots that talk shit about chuck schuldiner they were the 1st great death metal band

[bbutrinnt]

bullshit dude. God may send to hell the satanists but not a good musician whether that is metal, rap, psy etc.

[SpeedyGreen]

...chuck was not religious in any sense, and did not condone satanism in any form. He was a lover of life, plain and simple.

Plus this really isnt the proper place to discuss religion.

RIP Chuck Schuldiner, you will be missed forever.

[23igna]

Yeah, chuck wasn't a believer of a big god controling our lifes, he was a lover of life as you say, and a very spiritual man.

He was a good person ... ;'(

[BogdanKGB]

@23igna you're right man and God doesn't control us. God isn't something that is like us we have to imagine God like something that we aren't He is everywhere and anything but is not something (like masons or hitler or politicians) who control somebody and decide what is good and what's not. religion is not the same with church and Chuck has made great music with great lirics and his lirics just speaks

[Blackenedistheway]

I heard a rumor he went Christian b4 he died but i dont no for sure

[francoff]

If it's right, that's bullshit had nt save his life.

[Talvegue]

which year was this?

[jbeatsx]

10.10.1998 it was the last time I saw chuck alive :(

[crossturneddagger6]

so badly wish i could have seen death live :(

fucking cancer.

[neckface0]

chuck=Metal GOD

[KerryFcknKing]

agree with it

[Uamen1i]

everytime i here a death song, i wonder how in the world they came up with these amazing riffs!

[BoilingHumans]

if it was up to me, Death would be in the guinnes record book as "the best band ever".....btw, fuck u cancer for taking my idol away!

[djn00nan]

i would give everything i have to be able to write a lick like that, and still sing while playing chuck is the fuking father of metal as far as im concerned

[czr7j9]

There used to be really accurate guitar tabs on a site called deathwarp for this band. Someone had gone to the effort to tab all the solos as well as rythym. Printed off this whole album and was awsome fun to learn.

[swinnythekid]

i was lucky to see this band twice

FUCKIN AWSOME .RIP Chuck.

[ChatoManthas]

Chuck you were a master.

[Chuckill]

Chuck - Icone.

[Cityundersands]

great justice!

I would have given several of my own limbs to have seen death live... I sadly never had the blessing to do so... :(

[karachi90]

i love you chuck i want to meet you after death

[matteo2007]

CHUCK FUCKING RULEZ, he is the man,Symbolic is my fav. Death album....ZERO TOLERANCE !!

[xaliiito]

esto esta de puta madre xd

[qbi01]

fucking awesome!

[strumpf666]

ich ägermich so darüber das ich sie nie live sehen durfte.Naja chuck rip beste band!!
