Phucking Phenomenal! What a band and how wonderfully they all play together!

[TheZombieXecutioner]

Man it suck kelly had to stop playing guitar he was such a fuckin great guitarist, and Roger! what a fucking monster bassist on of the best in metal RIP!

[largesam72]

it always blows my mind to see bassists play like that. It's one thing to hear it, and another to actually see it.

RIP Roger

[redjuicemaxo]

Good stuff

[StevieHimself]

Roger had incredible speed! Looks and sounds like he studied Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton, Steve Harris, and Billy Sheehan...

[mingus911]

Finally i can watch to Roger in good footage... Thanxs

[Guitarshitnstuff]

I was at there warehouse once back in the eighties. I think i remember (Crimson Glory) practicing in the same complex.

[BlackdogScratch]

@Guitarshitnstuff

Yeah, me and Steve used to go to the end of his street (Mom's place, when we were kids), hide behind the neighbors knee wall and throw oranges at the passing cars... on Orange Avenue! How fuckin' appropriate!

[bojara666]

ATHEIST THE GREAT !!!!!!! Awesome band. Glad their back!!! Roger Patterson -Rest in Peace:(

[pavloscorpion]

great footage, i like more this version than the new.

[killerpeaches7]

Awesome. One of the greatest Metal bands ever.. and a bassist, like my other hero... Cliff Burton.... who's genius we were robbed of.  Roger Patterson was beyond amazing. Thanks for posting this.

[Jazzyak47]

what bass Roger was playing? Is it BC Rich Warlock?

[beastatlay]

@Jazzyak47

Yep, it's a Warlock. Not much later he switched to an active bass, a black Ibanez SR800 Soundgear. I believe he also used a Gallien-Kreuger head, and whatever cab was lying around at the time. That's the bass he used on his last tour just before his death. There are videos on YouTube of him playing the Ibanez live if you look around. Cheers.

[TheRippingCorpse]

Great stuff. NIce shorts Kelly!

[Megadedly]

Dude his strings are swapped upside down like Dan Swano.

[fracturedimages]

[Sarasotablonde]

Wow!! So glad I found this!! Roger was a very dear friend of mine, We grew up together. He was an AWESOME bass player!!! I was devestated (as I am sure MANY were) when he passed. The good ol warehouse days....lots of fun!! Drank my first quarts of Budweiser there and sat in front of Roger's amp and all the bass pounding made me puke foam!! LOL!! Love and Miss you ROGER!! R.I.P.

[beastatlay]

Not enough ways to thank you for putting this up. Roger Patterson is my all-time bass hero, and this is great footage of him. Jesus, man - just look at how fast and strong his playing is, and how long his fingers are! A one-of-a-kind musician and still very much missed. RIP.

PS - in case anyone didn't know, he was only 21 at the time this footage was shot...

[Soriano1994]

Is really hard to find stuff of Roger! Good work!

[jc72071]
