If I'm not mistaken, I read in my Vivus! CD booklet that Richard Christy had a bad cold and felt like shit during this show, so he ''rushed'' the songs. Turns out he just made the tunes even more epic by adding a couple BPMs lol
@@7th-Son-Of-A-7th-Son I actually saw them during the TSOP tour. The show I saw was also played faster than the studio version. Richard had to be an undying cold since he rushed in at least 2 shows.
@@matthewgeorgemortimer3050 I got your point but I have to disagree. I don't think about evil as a defect or as something which doesn't allow you to express geniality (Chuck's nickname was, in fact, Evil Chuck). Your answer shows how deeply Christianity has influenced the way of thinking, the moral, the concepts of western civilization. Everyone (including myself) has to carry this weight which is not a metter of belief or faith. It's cultural. You wrote evil should be reserved to things which are abhorrent and this indicates what I'm talking about. Just to be clear, I'm not placing myself in an upper position or something like that, all of us (westerns) have to face this cultural fact.
@@holyhandgrenades5529 I was talking about the sound of that scream. My comment is all about that. I wrote "the way he screams crusher" is very evil (and badass), not the message within the song.
I'm a big metalhead but only discovered Death last week (that might seem like an oxymoron, I know). I've been blown away by the intricacy and depth to their work and Spirit Crusher is just a perfect example. Holds up a big sign saying "fuck you" to the traditional formula.
No one can deny that Chuck forged his own path with passion and fervor. He was one of the most hard-working, skilled and soulful artists in the history of metal.
Richard Christy is inhuman on those drums. Probably the best ever, and I am not kidding around when I say that! Inspiring to see a musician with such refined skill 🙏
I went out of my way to find Richard Christy's email and tell him how much I loved his work on this and he actually responded and was really nice about it. Said it was awesome working with Chuck.
5:33 Richard almost ran out of time but it's fantastic how he recovers it by listening to the very precise riff of his companions and waiting for the right moment to come in and resume playing that absurd part with all its fluidity. Superhuman levels of skill!!!
I love that riff so much! Death riffs in general, they have bunch of these progressive pedal tonic riffs and hands down they're the most beautiful kind of riffs.
Blasphemy. The drums on this beginning to end are the single most well enunciated and meticulously crafted drums I've ever heard and to this day remains my biggest inspiration as a drummer. I have all of their albums and love every one, but the drums here stand alone.
I will not focus on 'what might have been', had Chuck survived his battle with cancer. I don't entertain it as a thought. In his 16 years creating music, from the raw intensity of "Reign of Terror" demo, to his final work with Control Denied, Chuck created timeless metal records that appeal to the widest possible swath of the metal underground.
Spirit Crusher is the Greatest Song Chuck ever wrote. This song is pure genius. I can't help but to marvel at its Brilliance every time I listen to it. If you listen to the Control Denied song (Breaking the Broken) it has the same words in Spirit Crusher. "The Blood that you Bled" and "Speak in Killing words the kind that crush and kill"
I challenge anyone to find me a bad Death song. It's a shame that some of their material gets forgotten, but that's only because with Death it's either "amazing" or "messianic".
their only less-than-stellar song was "Painkiller" on the same album as this. And it wasn't even their song! it was a cover of a Judas Priest song and to be honest it wasn't even that bad.
Still hard to believe we lost Chuck so young. By all accounts he was as kind as he was brilliant. Now we've lost Christy and Chuck's long time manager. Just thankful for all the good music.
I love 💕 death and chuck I always will me and my bros always used to listen to them in the car whilst smoke in ganja and drinking on the way to the pub you Will never die 🤘👿👹🎃🔥 you are a true brother of metal 👿👿👿👿👿🤘🤘🤘🤘👹👹👹👹🎃🎃🔥🔥
I forget where I heard this, but I seem to remember that Richard was sick with the flu (or maybe a hangover) when they did this show, so he was trying to get through it as fast as possible.
One of my favorite Death songs, (Symbolic has more favorites of mine in numbers, but) The Sound had some of the highest peaking moments, although fewer of them for me. Those which did peak, damn soared at times higher than any other instances.
Hey, I love Death, Hoglan, Christy, and especially Chuck's programming. But I wish they didn't have to rush the songs. They get a lot on the set list, but the mood suffers a bit. In my personal opinion.
A drummer who makes good use of cymbals on this type of drum will probably not be in the metal world. Also known as Richard Christy, the technique is a drum technique that is groundbreaking in the metal world. Best drummer RICHARD CHRISTY 🤘
amazing song, amazing chuck, amazing richard christy, but am I the only one that has trouble finding a live version where the second guitar solo doesn't sound as it is in the wrong key or something?
Given how much this song is complex in the original tempo, seeing it played WAY faster than the original one is asthonishing. His death is a major loss for the whole music history.

Yep! First I thought "no you can't make it in that tempo", well I was wrong :) What a band it was in this line up! Monsters.

The way he screams "crusher" is one of the most evil things i've ever heard.
This isn't evil, it's genius. Pure, unadulterated genius. Evil should be reserved for things that are genuinely abhorrent.

This song is so rich and variable any other band would make 10 song out of it.
That's the beauty of this band.

Amazing!!
He dropped one of your sticks.
That is that 👍🤟
This song is one of the most brilliant metalsongs i have ever heard. What structure, surprise, buildup and power.
this is "DEATH"
The riff at 2:17 brings tears to my eyes. RIP Chuck. Amazing musician. Amazing Person. I think it's the most beautiful riff he ever wrote.
I love that riff so much!
Death riffs in general, they have bunch of these progressive pedal tonic riffs and hands down they're the most beautiful kind of riffs.
My fave is 4:48, such an incredible riff!
@@consonaadversapars Yes, eargasm in the purest state
I feel the same about this riff, by the way fav from Death, and one of my fav of all time. Chuck is a genious.
Also one of my favorite riffs ever. Chuck was so ahead of his time, this particular riff reminds me of metalcore.
Blasphemy. The drums on this beginning to end are the single most well enunciated and meticulously crafted drums I've ever heard and to this day remains my biggest inspiration as a drummer. I have all of their albums and love every one, but the drums here stand alone.
Richard Christy is a god
Hunter Vex Sadly he doesn’t get the respect he deserves because of his insane sense of humor. But he was immensely talented.
Listen to The Art Of Dying. Mario Duplantier is amazing.
Hell yes
One of the most complex and beautiful things I have heard in my entire life.
R.I.P. Chuck....such a great musician.
This one and "Scavenger of Human Sorrow" for me)
I will not focus on 'what might have been', had Chuck survived his battle with cancer. I don't entertain it as a thought.

I just discovered Death and I’m so amazed by among things the Singer’s voice. His screaming is so powerful
A morte de Chuck foi uma perda irreparável para o cenário metal... a voz dele é incomparável...
Excelente música, uma de minhas favoritas...
I miss him as if he was a family member who parted.
ThrtFkr me too man.
He was cool apparently. He was kind man.
Same
Miss you Chuck, your music continues to inspire me daily. May your memory live on forever!
The drums here are simply divine, this performance is better than the studio recording. Just awesome stuff.
Chuck you had so much to give in this music!! RIP
2020...yup, this is still beyond badass.
Most! Amazing!
there are no "metal gods", metal isnt a polytheism. there is only one metal god. Chuck.
what about Lemmy?
@@laguna2869 No doubt chuck is god but Lemmy is all father !!
Metal is polytheism now, fight me
Judas Priest would like to have a word with you
@@Andre232323232332323 shit 😂😂
That ride cymbal is so F HAUNTING! What a performance, I'm in awe and shock!
Absolutely incredible performance of this song. Drums are alien Richard Christy
Each riff in this song would be the best riff on any other band's entire album. Every song on TSOP is like that... RIP Chuck.
hard to believe how well these guys performed those songs live. i am amazed and listening all the freakin time.
4:13 Awesome shot of angry Chuck right there!!
Most Amazing!!
This is just another example of just how awesome this band was. Beyond insane.
richard christy was my faaaaaavorite druuuuuummer in deeeaaaath
Don't forget Gene Hoglan brother
Sean.
Never realized they were playing this so fast, absolute beasts!
RIP Chuck and Scott!
The best metal album I've ever heard. And one of the very best in general.
Everybody talks about what a great guitarist chuck is... but nobody talks about how fucking badass are his vocals!🤘🏻
spirit crusherrrr que cancion! pura crema. Hace 20 años cuando era estudiante de la preparatoria me gustaron los riffs de guitarra y la aprendi XD
0:49 RIP little dude
GOD of metal, proudly did shake hands with Chuck once back in 1988
Holy shit!! That scream!!!!
I came here to see how Chuck using his diaphragm so well, and his vocal really inspired me. I wish i can, but I'll try.
New into the band Death and I already love their style! RIP Chulk!
Love you Chuck!!! You are a huge inspiration to my guitar style.

Always getting goosebumps when he screams crusher. R.I.P Chuck
Thanks for this Pro shot,!.
Thank you for posting
He was fkn waaaaaaaay ahead of other bands... young as f and the music and riffs just awsome!!!
that bass in the beginning is amazing
Thank you so much for upload!
Still hard to believe we lost Chuck so young. By all accounts he was as kind as he was brilliant. Now we've lost Christy and Chuck's long time manager. Just thankful for all the good music.
Richard Christy is still alive
Pause at 1:25, THAT is a great scary shot of Chuck!
Darkened eyes, flesh of the pale plague, feast upon our souls.
That’s the true “evil Chuck”
During the first CRUSHAAAAAAAAR! Is the true form. Veins in the head like budding demon horns. That is the face of death
Amazing composition
My brain can't comprehend doing these types of complex rhythm parts and then doing syncopated vocals.
till this day those melodic dm riffs eith proggy and black metal vocals still make this song brytal as hell
нет слов.. огонь..

gorgeous machiiiines!
Uma pena nao ter-los juntos hoje, garanto que seria cada show mais lotado.. \m/
Its sad that what killed him ultimately was being an american citizen
I forget where I heard this, but I seem to remember that Richard was sick with the flu (or maybe a hangover) when they did this show, so he was trying to get through it as fast as possible.
Absolute Masterpiece.
I´ve always loved the shape of the forehead and the hair form like a 2 horns demon face of Chuck!
Özledik seni be ; hem de çok. Allah rahmet eylesin !!!

I've only just noticed the crew who get on stage and get in the way of the performance - funny!
