    John is just a happy dude, he seems to not even have special preparations for his voice. It seems to come naturally. Amazing.

    There's been a million Death Metal frontmen since the early days of Obituary, but no one has yet to sound as original and as instantly recognizable as John Tardy. Van Drunen from Pestilence, Asphyx, Hail of Bullets has a similar technique, but it's easy to tell them apart

    John is the ultimate death metal vocalist. Many of these guys try too hard to be heavy, but John just does it second nature. Saw them back in the 90s and the pit was like a buzz saw. Ever since then, I have been a fan. I would describe Obituary as classic death metal. They are the god fathers of the genre

      I have seen them once live about 5 years ago. The thing that struck me about them most was that they were so into it (performing) and were not just going through the motions more so then a lot of bands I've seen. That might possibly have been because it did not seem so rehearsed (if that makes sense)

They were the highlight of the show for me, and I feel bad that I never caught on to these guys earlier. I've since been collecting their library and I really really love it. His vocal style has this punk edge to it that just feels so right for DM! The latest album IS fantastic all around. The vocals are \m/. Hope to see them again on their headlining tour this year.

    True we payed allot more attention to what we had. Sometimes you also saw others "knowing no better" stuck with a handful of albums over a year's period. Great how enthusiastic and how naturally saturated folks were back then. But i am even a little younger, and was already having a treasury of exposure, because at the library kids could rent cd's. Thankful of having had those days.

    To me JT looked like an angry little kid in videos like "I don't care" he seems far from that but I was blown away by their sound growing up in the 80s n 90s New Zealand the only way of discovering bands like Obituary really was word of mouth bootlegging tapes off of yer prized original cassette for other kids to listen to creating more fans of the genre leading us brave enough to venture deeper into the realm of the metal Gods for more beautiful music. Excellent vid cheers 🍻

    I'm glad he mentioned that they were only slated for 35 minutes on they're tour. I was disappointed that they were given so little time. But on the happy side. They'll be back for they're dying of everything tour and be the headliner! I only got to see them once back in like 1990 and never forgot that show.
    Then I was able to see them just last year in November I think it was? I think Cattle decapitation and Carcass were given too much time imo.. But I went and bought they're new cd from Greywhale and was very pleased that I found an extra cd cover inside that was signed by all the band while they were here!! I only paid like $17 or so!! So I'll make sure to see they're next concert in SLC I think in May!
