Ahhh 1999 Obsolete just released, Christian, Raymond, and Dino don't all hate each other and Burt's vocal chords aren't literal swiss cheese. Miss this era
The literally perfect era for FF! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Christian's backing vocals are pretty amazing aswell, especially on resurrection.
Yeah they kicked ass here.
Burton is a real vocal monster here
Fuckyeah
Burton was killing it live during this era.
Didn’t he blow out his vocal chords during the Obsolete tour in 1998?
@@NatureandSpirit111 I don't know about that, tbh. But I don't think he ever sounded better live than on Obsolete tour.
Absolutely brutal OMG i miss them sooo much 🤘🔬⚙️📡🤘
Yea he was. It sucks what they are now.
@@NatureandSpirit111 Yeah, Burton has terrible technique. It was only a matter of time before his destroyed his vocal cords to the point of lasting damage. I just wish that he'd learnt good vocal technique, because he'd have had a much longer and more auspicious career. He fucked it.
The way Burton is still kneeling in the dark as Zero Signal ends and Self Bias Resistor begins. It's as if he's trying to compose himself still from the emotional numb ending of the previous song. He walks off stage, finds himself, and he erupts into the upbeat spunk that's required for that specific vocal delivery. Also it takes balls to put yourself vulnerable out there like that. These are amazing people that do this for us.
😂😂😂😂
Burton is a unique individual who is dedicated to his craft. You can easily tell when someone is clearly in it for the money. Burton poured his heart and soul into each song, even when he didn't have the energy or his voice was shot or when he was sick. He still persisted and maneuvered his way through these tough songs. These songs are truly hard to sing. Seriously. Burton and I have a simular Vocal pattern and speech pattern. And I sort of sound like him but my voice is a little deeper. Anyway, long story short, it's truly hard to sing Fear Factory songs. Even Replica for Crying out loud. Lol. I respect him a lot for getting through each show with all of the touring they did.
Burton with a NIN cap? Check. Christian with a SOIA tee? Check. Everyone bouncing off the fucking walls in this gig, so much so even the security detail was banging like Beavis & Butthead? CHECK!
Damn, this era was epic.
Burton is also wearing a Nothingface shirt😊
@waynetoscano7000 You know something? All these years later and I never caught that...!
I was a fan of Fear Factory in the mid-late nineties (my teen years) but was never able to see them live. From the bottom of my heart: this recording means so much to me. Whether you realize it or not, seeing this is incredibly emotional and important to some of us. Thank you very much for posting!
Raymond Herrera will always be the greatest FF drummer. He helped to create Fear Factory's unique musical identity.
💯 i wonder what he’s doing these days
The security guys being into it still makes my day.
I had the pleasure of making music with Ray back in 1990. He was already in FF, but had some down time and said he could help our band get started before going on tour. I still have a cassette recording of us jamming, even messing around with some Cure. A month into it , he said his goodbyes and wished us luck. It was a pleasure. He is a great guy and always says hi with a big hug when we do run into him.
That's badass!
Great story. It was in Los-Angeles?
Dude, release the tape?!
atmosphere, crowd, music 10/10
would teleport myself there if I had a time machine
I come back to this every now and again. More so lately knowing Burton left. I have been seeing more and more FF reaction vids online these days. I hope Burton knows how much he's influenced folks.
I can’t get enough of this live version of Scumgrief.🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
their prime, by far
I saw FF a little after this in Worcester for the release of Digimortal and every time they came back after. They were incredible back then. Raymond is one of my favorite drummers of all time live right up there with Thomas Haake.
I would doing anything to be at this show I wasn't even born until a year after this
I'm not a drummer but damm, Raymond was a razor-sharp beast!! What a f.. machine!!
Raymond is criminally underrated as a drummer. Its an absolute travesty he isn't still playing drums.
@@revivedfears Always found it interesting that Gene, who is a legend on the kit in his own right. Had trouble playing some of these songs and basically just had to give it up to Raymond.
@@DireAxis yeah, he admitted he found zero signal tough to play and complimented Ray's playing on the original track. You could tell watching him play during his time in FF that he had to seriously concentrate.
@@revivedfears zero signal is insane. Raymond really out did himself on that track. But its fear factory. Pisschrist isnt easy either.
@@DeepSouthPal84 fuck yeah, Ray was an absolute beast and has writing credits on all of their best material, the way dino and Burt tried to undermine how important he was to FF during the later years of the band pissed me off so much.
I´ve witnessed them during that tour in Cologne, Germany. BUT! Let´s not forget about John Bechdel! The guy behind the keyboard on stage has had an important role during FFs most succsessful years in the 90s. While he was not the one who created the electronic landscape on their records (like Rhys Fulber did in the studio), he was on stage triggering all the short samples, loops and playing the melodic synths live. And FF probably didn´t even play to a click track at all. Just like what he´s been doing with Ministry since over a decade now. Back then it was a common method of utilizing a "machinist" for that purpose. This got somehow lost due to click tracks, in-ear, backing tracks and automation (which is not a crime to do imho). This guy has been with bands like Killing Joke, Prong, FF and Ministry and is imho one of the underrated and least recognized musicians in the whole "industrialized" music genres. Thumbs up for the upload and thumbs up for John Bechdel. If you get the chance, stream and buy the brilliant documentary about him which is titled "Killing the Joke: The John Bechdel Story".
In case you´re curious about his machinery job: check out what he´s doing for Ministry on stage: czcams.com/video/4jOZAT5AR38/video.html
I keep wondering the same thing when I read these comments. Thank you for this. 10 thumbs up.
industrial itself can be argued to be a lesser-known genre, much less its' artists that let the genre shine through its grit.
Awesome! In my opinion this was their absolute peak, Burtons vocals were just insane! Thanks for the upload \m/
Love FF. But well he didn't hit the right notes though. Just check out Resurrection. Burtons screaming style doesn't go well with hitting the high notes afterwards. Basically he fucks up his throat too much. I know cause I've fucked up my throat the same way all the time trying to scream like Burton back when i was a kid rocking out to Arhcetype. His screaming sounds rad though. I can't stand this half-whispering like Randy Blythe etc.
Archetype era was also amazing
I agree with metfan, they've never been that good after the Obsolete tour.
Yeah, his growling technique is very inefficient, even though it sounds so brutal. Modern vocalists use techniques that are 90% as powerful but put very little pressure on the vocal chords, not much more than speaking. Devin Townsend and Tatiana from Jinjer can growl all they want then hit high notes no problem, the trick is that they aren't asspounding their vocal chords.
Burton's style is more like Pantera vocals, but Phil didn't need to sing afterwards :P
@@AutoRiff
tbf, Townsend couldn't hit notes for shit either during the SYL era. His improvements during the last decade is pretty incredible tho. Not being on drugs all the time might've helped as well.
I want to go back in time..
Fear Factory + 90s = Awesomeness !
10:12 prepare for pure badassery. They played Zero Signal and Self Bias Resistor like a devastation streak. What a war machine FF was these days, the sound was so powerful.
Come back to this periodically. Over the years since I discovered Fear Factory, I’ve kinda settled on Pisschrist probably being my favourite track of theirs. Really great song, awesome performance here
I agree. It’s everything you could want from FF. Heavy as hell, yet impossibly melodic, and anthemic
WHERE IS YOUR SAVIOR NOW!!!? Bad ass song indeed.
Also a great painting
Dude, straight up! That song absolutely KILLS. I blew my brother away one day when he came down to the basement and heard me practicing the main riff. Said it sounded just like the cd. Put a smile on face 🤘💀🤘
Its great. The melodic part is great.
As much as I love FF and as much as it pains me to say this, they'll never be the same or this good live again. Burton's cleans were spot-on, and him and Dino were much more energetic onstage.
I was too young to see them live in this era, but I've seen videos of them live before and not long after this concert. Honestly, this is by far the best performance by them I've seen/heard
cooliovasquez Fear Factory were unstoppable in the late 90's, this gig is particularly great though. Would love to see a pro shot official DVD release of a show from this era, there must be some awesome shit in the vaults somewhere. It is sad that FF will never be what they once were, but I have to say I don't really expect them to be as energetic as back then, Dino can't be far from 50 and look at the size of him! ;p
revivedfears we have only festivals pro-shots from this era unfortunately :(
revivedfears Their were at their best from 1992 - 2001, after that they pretty died on stage, also Burton's clean voice is so fucked up now. Love this live performance wish there was an hq audio recording of it.
+Wolveon thats what happens with age
Even the security crew were into Fear Factory vibing and headbanging, especially the guy with dreadlocks was feeling it. I can't blame them, the performance was sick as hell. This lineup of the band will be irreplaceable.
Dude. DUDE. THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER FF CONCERT .
We missed most of Zero Signal outside in line, but heard it through the concrete walls. Holy fuck this is like a religious experience.
THE BUILDING WAS SWEATING. INDOORS.
You're so lucky... I'm 31, and at the time was too young to goto concerts. Fear Factory is the perfect metal.
@@thx3188 I just happened on this video, and I was sitting under the balcony while the water poured on top of us. Regardless, we were so lucky to catch them on this tour.
HELL YEAH YALL! I love seeing people find their shows!
Man they were sooooo badass back then. I saw them in '98. System of a Down opened up for them. I never heard SOAD before that show. I was 16. What a great time to be alive.
It sure was:)
One of the most powerful charismatic and tight performances in existence .
Tx for upload Man....respect....miss this days....Obsolete just out.....wow
The security is into it, FF were so good back then
Back in the day when I was in the Marines I did security for atreyu, all we did was was head bang. That was after suicide notes and butterfly kisses. It was deff no fear factory but damn, they were good back then.
One of the best Videos of FF I've ever seen. Burton's voice sounds so heavy. Awesome!
I love this version of Sucmgrief so much
The keyboard parts combined with Burton's cleans is just so fucking amazing I can't explain why
@@henrywalton5967 my thoughts exactly
I saw them at Ozzfest 99 in Phoenix AZ this year. They were on the second stage. Burton had his shirt off and was pretty sunburned lol. It was an awesome time and such a memory. Obsolete defines my teenager hood and I played that non stop.
Always come back to this video... and ALWAYS get absolutely blown away!
3/12/2023 still re-watching it.
This was their peak as a live band! They were never better than they were on the Obsolete tour. It was perfection for Fear Factory! So happy I went and saw them on this tour!
Damn, Burton C.Bell sounds so southern between the songs he sounds like a land owner from the 18th century lol.
Well I do declay-uh!
IIRC, he was born in Texas. That could explain it, so there. LOL
Saw them in Duluth MN in I think 1999, in the Fitgers basement, and they were absolutely fucking AMAZING. I was 16 and they totally blew me away. Maybe only 60-70 people at the show so it was incredible to be 5 feet away from them the entire time, basically screaming right in my face. Awesome memories!!!
This is such a magic performance by Fear Factory recorded to tape, amazing to see them perform at their height 🤘🏼
Saw them 2016 on the DEMANUFACTURE tour they crushed everyone .
This is the FF I would see multiple times. Still got Dinos autograph from this tour. Burton was killing it back then with his voice power. Obsolete will always be one of my favorite metal albums.
Awwww shit the golden days. Love that they're still doing it, but this is the prime. Thanks stucker.
F A T A L I T Y 🤖⚙⚒🤘🏾
Burt's vocals spot on too.
Damn straight. I've seen some more recent stuff and have just gone back to the albums as he can be painful to listen to. Shame cause I love me some FF, from NZ
Perfection
Such an awesome Scumgrief 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Herrera, Dino and Burton the best line up ever of factory.
Dude the energy the brought was crazy! They sound great here.
I remember going to this show at the paladium there are always a beast on stage. One of the most underrated bands ever.
I was at this show. Fear Factory, Static X and Dope. Palladium in Worcester. Fucked up to think almost everyone here is over 40 now.
Upon further review, this wasn't the show I was at. This was 3 months before that show. August 17, 1999.
I sincerely cant believe I came across this video. Not only was I there, I was 15. Anyways, it's so awesome to see this again so thank you so much, OH! and this was the first show i lost a shoe at in the pit...and i'm fairly certain it got thrown up on stage, so unless somebody still has a size 10 black vans with red laces...I'll just assume Burton kept it as a token of my appreciation
Long delayed, but I was here too! 18.
@@guystix man, I would have given my left bollock to have been at this gig. I was still a bit young to have seen fear factory at this time.
I got toilet water poured on me under the balcony… totally worth it!
Best covid quarantaine gig there is to watch.. every day!!
Holy fucking hell! What a show! I had already given thumbs up but forgot about this true gem. The energy the band delivers is amazing! Everything and everybody is on point. Glad to see the crowd is energized as well. Thank you so much for preserving this show!
Greatness
It is fear factory when they were kings of this KIND Of MEATAL!!! Could not be matched by any one 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾, end of story 👌🏾
I know it's frowned UPON on in METAL. But these guys need to be in the MUSIC HALL OF FAME. Some day🤘🏾🤘🏾
They will. They revolutionized the music industry.
This is still the best live Fear Factory video out there!!!
I was 16 , picked up my copy of obsolete around 15 because I heard “ replica “ on test drive 5 for PlayStation . My love for FF is fuckin eternal 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Insane performance. I should be sleeping but it is pumping me up so much.
I'm sooooo glad i saw them four time between 97 and 99 in London uk. This show sounds killer with so much energy from the band, FF to me are Burt, Dino Christian & Raymond.
Burton's voice sounds great
Great performance! One of the best of this era. Raymond is tearing it up!
Loved that Straight Outta Compton intro before Self Bias Resistor start
I must've seen FF more between 1998 and the early 2000s than I've seen any other band in my lifetime (Ministry a possible exception), and in '99 they were untouchable. Even with off key notes and heavy vocal enhancements Burton's vocals were earthshattering. "Welcome to the world of Fear Factory . . . Prepare for SHOCK" still gives me chills. Those shows erupted.
What do u mean vocal enhancements ?
Burton sounds so cool here!
I had no idea who they were when I saw them the first time in 98. Blew me away, I think they only played for 40 mins or so. Opened up for Slayer, my presumptive reason for being there. I don't listen to Slayer anymore really. Here I am. What a legend.
I have no clue how I have never seen this. This was my first concert. I was so pumped to see FF live. Too bad the audio quality sucks because it was phenomenal.
52:30 "This song goes out to everybody who has lost faith, this is Resurrection." Every time I hear that I get chills!
I was in Milwaukee when I saw them first time at the now shutdown modjeska theater. Their tour support was monster magnet and static-x those could not emulate the devastating power they unleashed that night. Burton was so energetic that night it hard to believe your hero's getting old before you hell I'm getting old. Great times the obsolete tour was the best tour I saw this band.
I'll guess your about 35 or 36. I was jammin FF before anyone knew about em.
Was there! Remember the lead singer of Monster Magnet fell off the speaker and busted his shit?! That was a fun fuckin night.
Pure gold standard right here!!! the blueprint for the future to come
I think I saw them 5 times in 99. One of the best live bands back then
1:11:40 even the security guy is enjoying it hahaha
Hubiese sido genial un dvd de ésta época
If I'm not mistaken, this was at the Palladium. I was at that show. I remember how dark the venue was and after a successful crowd surf, got a chance to give Dino a knuckle high five after the guards put me down. This is a rare treat indeed, thanks for the upload!
livisdaddy2008 yeah it's the Palladium. Was at this show too. Can't believe it was 18 years ago
livisdaddy2008 i saw them last year at the Worchester Palladium with Soilwork perform Demanufacture in its entirety(plus other songs) and it. Was. Insane. I have seen so many acts(Slayer,Gojira,Slipknot,Black Sabbath,Lamb of God,KoRn,Mayhem and much more) but that Fear Factory show was one I won't forget about. Burt's vocals were so strong and the energy of the place was electric the entire time. They really do still have it.
Metalhead Lazz I was there...killer fucking show!!
@Steve Levangie no Fear Factory headlined. It was them, Static X, Hed PE & maybe another band
@@bucksatanII are you sure? I was there as well and I swear (Hed)pe wasn’t there. I think it was Soilwork and Static X
I like to pull this up once in a while when I hear people say Burt's vocals were never good live...
Burton was the best back then. They played the Speed metal verion of Self Bias Resistor. It was even quicker than me in bed!
Lmao! 😂 😂
God his voice is so fucking good here.
*wow they sound amazing, I would pay anything to have seen Fear Factory and Slipknot live in 1999, pure insanity.*
Same!
I did, and it was!!!
I thought I saw every live FF performance on YT, but this was just recommended to me by the almighty algorithm. This was incredible to watch.
Whatever happens to FF, we'll always have the albums from this era. 💙
What a classic show....one of the very best
For all the recent talk of Burton being "bad live" he is absolute incredible here throughout. Except maybe "Replica" which the new guy also seems to struggle with. Something about that song must be very difficult to sing.
All these people spitting on Burton now that he's gone are just pitiful hypocrites. Pretty usual in this kind of situation in fact.
This gig is just amazing...
Heard Zerosignal while watching Mortal Kombat many years ago. 25 years later, and at the age of 53, I still love old school FF!
Think I've listened to this 50 more times since my post. Easily one of the best shows in the history of metal!
some awesome lighting on this show especially during smasher devourer and securitron really enhances the feel of the music.
A Blast this FF Show! Saw them in 2006 in Rock al Parque, Bogotá, Colombia. Cheers!
Killer show man, thanks for uploading this! Burton's voice was great in that time
I love FF and I love Burton. Thank you for all the great work. My 3 year old son is your biggest fan today. He calls you "the robots".
One of the best live shows of theirs I've ever seen to this day. Spot on. Tons of fucking energy.
Thank you for this upload.
It's a shame Burton never had a vocal coach earlier in his career. His growls here are fierce but he's definitely shredding his pipes.
Would have ihe ever sounded so good if he used a proper technique though? Because I don't think he would...
Thank you for uploading this!
Miss you so much and specially in this line up ❤️❤️❤️
I remember being there that night. On the floor left hand side mid way to stage.
I was at this show! Thanks for the upload mate!
Holy hell, is Burton wearing a Nine Inch Nails cap in this video?
what a great show, i wish i was there. I saw them in 2004 at the same venue but it wasnt quiet the same. This is one of the best live shows I've ever seen!
Fuckin great.... 90s....tx 4 all the stuff you upload TS....
This is outstanding and a joy to watch and the reunion of this tour may just happen soon I am hoping so with Ray and Christian back with burton and dino \m/
Dude, thank you for posting this. Was at this show and it's bringing me the fuck back.
Golden line-up. Good times!
❤
Wow, WHAT a rendition of Scumgrief. I'm impressed.
The studio version of Scumgrief is on Fear Is The Mindkiller, it's the Deep Dub Trauma mix :)
@@JacobG1985 the best version of Scumgrief IMO
Coming back to say how good this is!
