  • fox ROX!!!

  • if people are dissin bands then.. goatwhore sucks

  • WHOA WHOA WHOA....HOLD ON PEOPLE....HAS NO ONE NOTICED THAT....HE HAS A SHIRT ON???!

  • @NikkTemplar HAHA AWESOME!

    Gotta love Matt!!

  • Matt Pike looks like a metal Chris Pontius.

  • .... i dont even consider this metal, this is sludgy heavy fucking music.

  • @7kole4 its called stoner metal 

  • @EvilRedGoose if everything has to be so codified and be required to a genre then yes, but if your not sucked into all the corporate whores. its just sludgy heavy music to everyone else.

  • @EvilRedGoose No its just metal high on fire metal dont sound stoner as sleep or kyuss or whatever even Matt says it aint stoner its metal

  • holy mountain batman! matt has a shirt on!

  • Personally, i dont like this kind of metal. However i respect their approach to music and i believe everyone is entitled to follow their own path in music making. its all beautiful,but in this case id call it a face only a mother could love lol

  • @NickM95vids then it appears you've missed the point entirely

  • @NickM95vids What the fuck?

  • hof fucking rules, always will

  • 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.

  • Matt's voice is like the cherry on top!

  • higfh on fire dont need any excuse they kick ass, better rthan mastadon!

  • @magnusv100 I would have to disagree with you there. To me, HOF is just one notch lower on my list of favorite bands, but it's still my second favorite band of all time.

  • ever since i heard these guys they have always been a good jam

  • Great FUCKING song!!!!!!! Heavy as HOF always is!!!! Get HIGH@_@Right now@_@spark that shit@_@

  • Just now discovering this band, and so far, I dig what I hear! \m/

  • So far, I hear Pantera and Motorhead influences, done well, and I can't tell what else yet. This is cool!

  • @ericp65

    ever heard a metal band that wasn't influenced by Motorhead?

  • @ericp65 Lmao Matt Pike with a "Pantera" influence?

  • Fox?!

    they are better than FUSE or MTV now if they play High on Fire. lol

  • @metalsupremicist no one gives a fuck what you think. Pike puts everyone to shame minus iommi and page.

  • @Crohny Matt Pike is indeed a genius. But you are a fool.

  • mountains collapse!!!!

  • FOX? ...what the fuck.

  • Soundman: How Do I mix bass?

  • Pike fucking wrecks that shit at 1:40! Ace!

  • hey! he has a shirt on! thats not like him! lol.

  • @dentpopcan it must have been cold there

  • dude, respect to pike and all, but why's he gotta be playin all fast these days

  • Pike and HOF are modern day metal saviours!!!!! "DESTROYER COME DOWN!"

  • Can anyone actually describe this band other than perfect? Pike's voice with the dirgy instruments and his guitar tone are the greatest combo of music i've ever heard. so unique and a three piece too! Their drummer is sick too.

  • God DAMN but that peckerwood can play the guitar. I hadn't heard of these guys until the Prosthetic promo director sent their name to me to check out (the LP is in the mail as I type). Fucking excellent. The vid/song "Rumors Of War" was excellent too. These guys remind me of Motorhead meets modern metal in a cool way. I wish the sound-guy had put at least some bass in the mix for this. FOX's sound guys should be shot (tho this was still WAY better sounding then Slayer's sound for BornToBeWild).

  • badass mthrfkrs right there !!!

  • Comment removed

  • rock that shit pike. raaaaaahhh

  • what bass is that?

  • it looks like a flying v bass

  • yeah i know, but i want to know what brand it is, coz gibson v basses arent my thing.

  • yeah, its a gibson.

    look at about 1:27 in the vid and its a good shot of the headstock

  • brutal!!!

  • you know what guys..... i try not to waste my time defending something but i was in a band called valkyrie and 2 brothers were in the band one brother named pete went on to be with the band Baroness and they are on tour with high on fire.... we went all went to high school together. You compare them to screaming death metal with YES sick gtr solos BUUUUTTTT this is Stoner/doom metal. Listen to some others bands like Spirit Caravan, Goatsnake, Earthride, Valkyrie, OM, the melvins, SLEEP

  • Valkyrie rocks !!! \m/

    Just thought it would be good to mention that... :-D

  • Except you aren't playing a better solo with your dick. If you are, you're doing it in your bedroom where no one cares. These guys have accomplished more in 6 years than you ever will in your existence.

    Let us know when you share a stage with Megadeth and Opeth. Until then, you're E-thuggin makes me LOL. And for the LOLs, I thank you good sir.

  • There's no need to degrade High On Fire or those of us who appreciate them simply because you don't feel the same way. I appreciate HOF's approach to metal just as I appreciate Opeth's. Trying to compare the two is pointless. They're different animals. Did you come here just to start a fight? If so, then Opeth fans like you give the band a bad name.

  • True.

  • @readmedotexe Very well put

  • @readmedotexe Can't agree more. Love both bands. Completely different sonorities. No point in comparing them. The only thing which is comparable is that their both awesome at what they do. Matt Pike is the God of riffage. Mikael is the God of progressive metal. Who doesn't like Still Life and Surrounded by Thieves? For me are Opeth's and HOF best albuns to date.

  • @joaohenriques32353

    Do you have Snakes For the Divine? If so, what do you think of it?

  • @readmedotexe It's as good as I expected, even though I must admit I liked the slower sonority of SBT better. It' s matter of personal taste. The Yeti from Surrounded by Thieves is probably my favorite music of all time.

  • @readmedotexe ur rite but i dont like opeth no offense, but high on fire has a more stoner metal side cuz of mat pike comming from sleep and alot of songs ur can hear the sleep side of it

  • @ucdeeznuts you are a grammatical idiot, and you name should be ALOT.

  • @t3nsors whats that suposed to mean?

  • @readmedotexe I would love to see Opeth and High On Fire together : )

  • @LucidDreams84 no.. HOF deserve bands like gojira not opeth

  • @readmedotexe Opeth sucks.

  • @bdubsg24 then why don't you fuckin do it, hot shot? The fact that you might be able to play better guitar solos than Matt Pike is irrelevant because he has a record deal and your lame ass does not.

  • watch?v=OmsXYwrZxV8

  • high on fire is fucking fantastic if you dont shit about this genre then dont talk about it

  • Wow. If this is honestly the worst song you've heard, you really haven't heard much.

  • Well no, they are actually somewhat respectable. Are deriative, but still have their own sound. All I think immediately when I hear them is High on Fire.

    If you honestly think high on fire is the least talented metal band around, I can honestly say you haven't heard anything. And giving metal a bad name/dumb fans? You're confusing high on fire with bring me the horizon.

  • Apparently you are not metal enough man...We are talking about High on fire...

  • one of the sickest doom/metal bands out there and rocking the matamp green cabinets too!!!!!

  • Matt Pike has a voice very similar to Lemmy, cool song

  • that drum set is quite small 1 tom a bass drum , snare drum, a ride ,and 2 crash cymbals.... its a jazz drumset hehehe

  • that guys gets alotta drum outta that little kit

  • they sped up the video!!

  • reminds me of bill ward on the records of black sabbath's concert in paris 1970...

    high on fire really kicks ass :)

    none the less sabbath does too :D

  • Haha, hey you're right, even the colour of the drumset matches!

  • very 70s

  • explain, please.

  • BEST BAND EVER!

  • holy sweet flyin fuk he reminds me of lemmy!!!! pretty damn good shit

  • High on fire has kicked ass every single time I've seen them. Must have been a crap sound man. Or the club just wasn't set up for big angry Pikes 9 string. Live shows are always a crap shoot. You have to take into account the toxicity level of the front man.

  • Must have been an off night because I've seen them five times now and they are one of the most consistent bands around. Give them another try.

  • hey mate, i can believe it. i saw them when they were touring blessed black ings in Bradford, england. they were headlining, and thy were terrible. i really anted them to be goo, bt their live performance was inaudible. unfortunatly it was the worst gig iv seen...

  • These guys were so kool to hang out with, got high with the bassist out behind the building, and Matt was screwed up on coke and alcohol, lol. Had a good visit with both, nice guys

  • this band is awesome

  • surrounded by thieves

  • that solo around 2 is rad

  • Nah, forget it. It's just that I actually met Matt Pike (guitar, vocals) that very same night and he was an extremely nice guy to me and my friend, so I feel protective of the band as well as Matt. Cheers!

  • Sorry it was "the worst" live performance you've ever seen. I saw them just over two weeks ago and because of the gig they are now my new favorite band.

    If you didn't like these guys, why come on to a video of theirs and dis 'em? That's kind of lame.

  • You're just an Opeth fanboy. I'm sure if they sucked ass live you wouldn't say shit.

  • I'll be seeing them for the 6th time in Oct 7th in Los Angeles, they never disappoint. They are just a very different band than Opeth. More raw. I can't imagine how u had a hard time hearing the guitar, where were u standing? the guitar is the loudest thing about this band it nearly tears your head off if u are standing right in front of his stack

  • Sadly, I agree with you.  They had decent stage presence, but it was just mud as far as sound goes.

  • kinda reminds me of motorhead. this is good shit

  • matt pike is the most metal man on the planet

  • Yup. He's a hell of a nice guy too.

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

  • Your lost. HOF is kickass.

    Opeth + HOF = An excellent show.

  • wrong on so many levels. give them a chance when u see them live.

  • i thought job for a cowboy and in flames really sucked. the other three were great.

  • this band is probably the best around just now. true metal to the core, no compromise. Hail High On Fire!!!!!

  • yeah high on fire and sleep/dopesmoker is the best metal/rock around period. it is all i listen to anymore or om

  • Guys, As Fucking Much as Down owns...

    High on Fire is far more Impressive. High on Fire is the Greatest Live show i've seen yet.

    Just my Opinion, Please dont Flip me Shit...

  • I think gigantour 2008 was pretty gay, but whatever, megadeth still sounded good.

  • Saw them yesterday!!!

    They played a fucking amazing set.

    Someone from the pit threw a bible on stage, Pike tore the fucker apart and burned it lol.

  • retard, i was there too, no he did not

    he ripped it and threw it into the audience :P

  • Sorry, audience member did. Pike just tore it apart. That was a sick ass show though lol.

  • yeah yo. those were the most intense pits ever. especially when bodom came out and like half of the audience went crazy

  • Lmao I know eh dude!!!

    I just had to laugh when JFAC played.. You could totally see where the pit was.. Then for Bodom, the whole fuckin' audience just turned into more of a 'massive pit' haha.

  • yeah i went to gigantour in MI saturday night. it was intense. outside of the pavilion which has all the seats, where no moshing is normally, but our field where the moshing is is on a slant. it was fucking raining hard as fuck. people were getting thrown and shit!

  • Pike's voice sounds just like Lemmy when he sings but the sound is all High On Fire, best band on earth

  • sounds remarkably like motorhead. gotta give them credit for even attempting a 3 piece metal band nowadays though.

  • a band like this comes along only every 30years

  • i just love the part @ 1:53 of the guitar solo.

  • i only got to see them a little bit at gigantour on tuesday, i wish i saw more

  • i'm going to see them live at montreal with magadeth, children of bodom and inflames. :D

    of course in these four bands, this one is the least good. still fucking awesome

  • hellyah! im gonna c them in london at the jlc!

  • Lol you fail, children of bodom and in flames are lame since a couple of album and totally unoriginal compared to this band.

  • have you seen the new song blooddrunk? it might be my favorite song of all children of bodom, also you can't compare megadeth to high on fire, they are just superior in many ways.

    i'm not saying high on fire sucks cock, far from thet, its amazing, its just not as good as children of bodom or megadeth.

    I'd take back hat i said about inflames,

    it might be better. If not, it's pretty fucking close.

  • omg every band EXECPT FOR high on fire is good this sounds awful sadly there playing with opeth.

  • Ummm what? One of the worst sentences ever constructed in the history of the internet. Opeth are good, but were not on the Gigantour. Megadeth have sucked for 22 years. In Flames have sucked for... about 6 or so. COB about... 5. And Blowjob for A Cowboy have never been close to good.

    It's funny how you think the exact opposite... and you just happen to have the spelling of a blind retard... coincidence?

  • ummm what? this bands lead singer sounds lke hes smoked fr 20 years and is just talking. megadeth, in flames and COB are amazing compared to this. opeth did not plaaying in gigantour but on there tour this year they are playing with high on fire :(. when did i say "opeth are good"?

  • Giving praise to Megadeth, COB and In Flames only to diss High on Fire... what is this world coming to?

  • I agree, but what's funny is that YOU chastised me for having my opinion in the first place. In fact, this whole gay arguement started with you saying my opinion sucked.

  • well sorry for making it sound like that but i was just saying i didnt agree with your opinion. mine just happened to be the exact opposite of yours.

  • I don't believe that you were just trying to say we had different opinions, but whatever.  Cheers.

  • Well, the quality of this video does suck. I'm gonna go see OPETH, in AZ. i can't wait. Look up the other band that there playing with Baroness. there really good. I can't wait to see them also.

  • alright, il check em out. \,,/

  • @powermetalfreak Megadeth better better than High on Fire? Why? Because they've been around for like 30 years? I think Celtic Frost shits on CoB and Megadeth. Most metal fans only own like three Megadeth albums. Rust in Peace isn't any better than something like Blood Mountain, Death is this Communion, Agent Orange, Cause of Death or Slaughter in the Vatican. Peace sells is the only megadeth album that comes close to being as good as Ride the lighting or Master of Puppets.

  • Oops, I meant "hypnotic", lol.

  • High on Fire are the working class heroes of metal music. They aren't trying to be cool. They just fucking rock! I'm still in awe that three guys can create such a pulverizing sound! You feel like you need an exorcism when you see them live! Very hyponitic! Hails to Pike and Co.

  • bad ass...

  • holy shit, i just realized they're playing Gigantour, sssssweeeeettt, that made that already show into a godly one

  • Matt Pike is everything that is pure metal. Lyrically he writes on metal themes and musically pummels the listener with a true MC5esque rawness. Pure guitar and amp.

    If you digg HOF you should check out Scott Weinrich's bands Hidden Hand, Spirit Caravan, and The Obsessed. Pure Doom/Stoner Goodness.

  • Best. Song. Ever.

  • the old skool thrash fans needed a band like this BAD!! Vocals aren't polished or pretty, they don't look like these modern day pretty boy metal band clones, and they look cool as hell playing live. These guys are the real deal, and it's about damn time.

  • No shit!!!!!! First time I heard this album I thought "now this is what I've been waiting for" I see them every chance I get. Best power trio ever!!!! So raw and so trance-inducing. I am so high on HOF

  • exactly my thoughts too man.

  • I thought the same thing first time I heard them... "this is what I've been waiting for!!"

  • This isn't that thrashy. Especially compared to their new stuff, but I will heavily agree on metal shouldn't be "polished or pretty".

    Fuck this new metalcore shit. Dirty metal for life.

  • these guys never fail to impress me.every song is a bullet to the brain!

  • fuck yeah. drumer using a fucking 18x18 floor tom as a high tom.

  • This is some of the coolest footage I have ever seen. Perfect. Takes me back to 2002.

  • What the fuck is fox rox? Why do they have high on fire on fox anything? Arent fox a conservative station and pro bush? That last question is a YES! by the way! WHAT THE FUCK!

  • This was on an FOX affiliate (read - they buy the rights to air the Simpsons, NFL, etc.). They aren't ran by FOX

  • Matt Pike in a shirt? Probably because they were on T.V.

  • Lmfao..... I was thinking the same thing!!  Shirt or no shirt, he's still a fuckin animal!

  • wow! just wow!!!!!!!

  • george was the best, but the new guy is really growing on me

  • You can only be 100 percent gnarly with a Flying V bass.

  • but his playing isnt very good....neither his tone is...

  • go back to listening to your britney spears records desolationrowhomo

  • fuck you, you damn asshole... im a high on fire fan... and im a bass player, so i know what im talking about...

  • to play this kind of stuff, i really think they should use a picker, like joe preston. that dude ruled the bass position here.

  • Fuck I love these guys

  • Good sound. I can fuckin' hear Pike's vocals this time around.

  • George!

  • is there more of this? give us more! so far we got "cometh down hessian" and "nemesis". GIVE US MORE!

  • yeah, you're an idiot.

  • Agreed.

  • awesome, nice to see a high quality video of this great band

  • Fuck yeah, George on the 4 string!!!
