Kelly you should start doing these again, this is really cool. Two absolute legends
I second this!
This is an awesome interview, lots of passion, great questions, honest chat....thank you!
Fucking killer interview Kelly, I can feel the passion and depth of your friendship with Paul and vice versa !! You two are really special human beings !!
yeah
And here we are now and they ARE touring together, can't wait to see them in a week and a half! Love Cynic and recently became a fan of Atheist to prepare myself for seeing them live
Me and some friends got to meet the guys from Cynic after a show back in 2010. The energy was electrifying and they were all humble, down to earth dudes. Paul was so awesome, he signed our tickets and answered our questions candidly. Beautiful experience.
I love you guys, I really love you. Thank you for all the heart you put into your music, both of you.
2 REAL gentlemen.
2 days ago, you and I spoke outside Montreal's Fairmount Theatre after the beyond amazing concert you guys gave us.
I did tell you Kelly, that what stood out the most, besides your stellar & amazing performance, was your Beautiful, Fantastic & Authentic Energy. You hugged me tight and said that meant the world to you.
Well this 2h mafnificent interview emantes the exact same Wonderful energy.
Love & Light to you both always ❤
Great conversation between 2 legends.
Kelly, I can tell you're highly enthusiastic with a head bursting with amazing stories, I hate to criticize but please let your guest speak, please don't bulldoze them.
Just seen the tour pass through Milwaukee on a Monday night. Amazing show! Two great humans right here. Paul literally shook hands with everyone as they went to the exit.
Amazing conversation. I'm a huge Atheist and Cynic fan. Human is my favorite Death album. Thank you Kelly and Paul for doing what you do.
Too much talent for the Internet to absorb! Proud of both of you gentlemen 🖤🙏🤘
It's insane how much in common Kelly and Paul have, from pioneering and implementing the jazz fusion in death metal at its early stages to (tragically) losing two of the greatest bassists this genre graced.
tony's still alive tho
@@pungentzeus Of course and he's an amazing bassist. I was just referring to Roger Patterson.
This hang out was great you guys, funny and intereting,....i'd love to see that Roger and Doug photograph. Thanks!
Two of my favorite humans who grew up with me in my teenage years. I was there but you guys were just in my cd player lol or tape player
Looking forward two seeing these two bands on the end of June, in Michigan
It was a great show! Saw them at the Sanctuary June 30th here in Detroit/Hamtramck. It was great to see Cynic again after 10 years.
I never knew those details about Roger. How heartbreaking…😢
The guys made the tour happen. Awesome time
Paul is legend. I also credit him for introducing me to the greatest musician I’ve ever heard Allan Holdsworth. I remember reading a playlist of his favorite albums and nearly everything he put on that list was a Holdsworth album. Hearing that music opened my mind and ears to a universe I didn’t think existed. I will forever be grateful to him for that introduction…Atheist was also my introduction to prominent bass work. When I first heard Piece of Time back in the day Roger’s playing flipped my world upside down in terms of what was possible. His attack reminds me of Geddy and Doug (Watchtower). I also prefer his playing on the Unquestionable demos compared to the Tony Choy versions (no disrespect as Tony sounds amazing), that particular attack just wasn’t there. What a monumental loss for extreme music that was. I still listen to his playing to this day in complete awe and admiration, watching his live footage shows what a natural he was, just effortlessly ripping out those lines and not breaking a sweat. He may be gone but he’s not forgotten…
Absolutely get the people not actually listening making reviews being nonsense, Jupiter is a great album and held up to atheists reputation of making something new every album, same with cynic. Never the same album twice and that's even more impressive playing technical progressive stuff.
Some of my favorite releases are ones that I didn't 'get' the first listen. When I pick up a new release I'll listen to it back and forth from my commute to work for a week or two.
Two of my main influences for the last 30 years. We bought a copy of that inquestionable pre-tour practice video bootleg in the 90s. I was going to hit the thanks button but you haven't enabled it
Just subbed. Hope there will be more interviews soon.
Aeon Spoke is the only thing that kept me from committing suicide for a few years
Thanks for sticking around. Hope you're doing well.
@dpclerks09 meh. I get by. I'm gonna record an ep this winter I think but I have no plans to put it out there. I'm busy with engineering and computer science courses to pass the time. Math as a hobby. Kinda like brain metal I think Mr. Schaefer said back in the 90s.
@@jstro-hobbytech That's cool, man. One day at a time. Life is Worth Living. Being incarnated as a Human is considered a Blessing in some Traditions. Keep exploring and trying things out, and having fun. Try to lighten up and laugh more often, even just making yourself laugh helps. Keep making Music, just because it brings you Joy when you do it, no other reason. Keep the Faith, Brother🙏❤
Beautiful interview well needed
We love you!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe I get to see you guys on the 25th.
I love this podcast. Just stumbled across this on my visit to Decibel Magazine early afternoon today. Love absorbing the energy from yall. Good shit!!!
20:07 cool man
I'd love to hear you two talk more.
Last week Atheist Cynic show in (Montreal Canada) was amazing ! Atheist setlist was near perfect ! Elements is my favorite Atheist album and thoses live songs really deliver . It's been a week and i still listening to Piece of time ,Elements,Unquestionable presence ,focus and Ascension codes .
Now that was an amazing conversation! Thanks Kelly and Paul!
KELLY THX GOOD TO SEE TRUE METAL MUSIC PEOPLE TAKING OVER AGAIN!!!! DO MORE MORE MORE
Saw both bands play the other night, and they were both fuckin stellar
Saw Cynic in New Orleans a week ago or so. Masvidal is a beautiful dude inside and out. Such an artist and an inspiration.
Amazing! Thanks for this conversation. @Kelly, I was amazed to see Atheist perform without a click live in Mesa! It was a chance of a lifetime to see Both you and Cynic live! Thanks for coming by and saying hi to my friend and I in the crowd while cynic was performing. \m/
what an awesome conversation!
Hoping to see you do alot more of these... very nice to put a face to the name sir.... Pieces of Time was the first guitar track to really make me step up my game.. been very obsessive since learning it. Thank you immensely..
Run of the Mill! \m/
Loved the NYC show. Seeing my heroes on stage was a lifetime goal for me!
Got to see Cynic and Atheist last night in NYC. It was great being able to experience a part of my late teens/early 20s again.
Thank you for coming to Toronto!!! Insane live performance!!
Saw you guys Saturday in Richmond and it’s going to be hard to ever top that show. Amazing to hear you guys spitballing about the idea of it here
1:24:22 I come from the future and have great news 👽
That is so true about well crafted complex albums not being consumed and enjoyed in one sitting, that was definitely true for me with both Dimension Hatross and Nothingface by Voivod, I'm ashamed to say that I strongly disliked both when they first released.
I love and adore them now, both are in my top 10 all time favourite albums.
What an insightful interview between 2 warm hearted wonderful people.
I'm curious to know what shirt Kelly is wearing!
🤘🤘🤘
Atheist and Cynic need more coverage on their impact on Metal.
Haven't watched/listened yet, but the description says "This conversation was recorded May 2022", is that accurate, or is it a typo and it was record May 2023 (last month as opposed to last year)?
That's correct - we recorded it last year but never released it. We have one other unreleased episode that will see the light of day soon too.
@@DanielMartinezOfficial Cool thanks for giving the clarification! Are there any plans to record new episodes going forward, or will the third one be the last one?
@@PsychedelicCheeseburgers Yes it looks like we will be filming some more stuff later this summer and continue on with the podcast again.
Recorded last year, but just now airing
