Penguin was so fucking badass. The real heart break is losing the incomparable Roger Patterson. He was a dynamo on every level and it's fucking sad so few know that.
When I first heard "Mother Man" I had to ask my friend whether his cannabis might be laced with PCP. A perfectly reasonable question given the circumstances. I definitely felt an _unquestionable presence_ in the room.
ok, these aren't the 'original players' from the album, but they nailed this NOTE FOR NOTE! Amazing!! That is very hard to see bands playing something note for note by people that didn't even write/record the song.
Good point. I have no idea why anyone would be blown away by this revelation. UP came out over 30 years ago. They aren’t the Eagles. Most of the members moved on except Kelly. It was always KELLY’s band and songwriting anyway.
And how these riffs were wrote “upside down” (guitarist was left handed, used a right handed guitar) and lets not forget these kids probably weren’t even born yet The homie from Beekeeper is the current drummer. Def need to make it out to the Santa Cruz show
Ha! So you are THE Darren... I remember seeing a picture of you with the band in a French metal magazine at the time. And more recently I saw a video of Atheist playing in Montreal at the time. I enjoyed every minute of it :-)
Magnificent! Guys, please do not use too much fog or blinding lights during shows. It sucks when especially the drummer is not visible. Let us admire your musical craftmanship both with vision and sound :) . See you in Poland in february!
When I first picked up album heading out to college in ...1995? 96? I honestly just thought it was ok and not really into it... I was more into Slayer and Morbid Angel at the time... Who would've thought I'd be coming back after all these years and am TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY !! It's my favorite album this year 2020!
Awesome! Badass song by a super badass band!!! Hope to see more playthrough videos cause it would be insane if you dudes did “retribution”, “water” or “samba briza”...With Kelly on vox if possible lol 🤘🏼
You say there's freedom Within our nature Well I don't think you understand Mother Earth has fallen to Mother Man The Air, the Sea, the Grass, the Trees, The nemesis is the major, Fearless leader Mother Man. Come on take a look At what's become Of the existence that leads Or so we think That's always a popular phrase It suits the laws written By dear Mother Man, Those heavy hands. What man creates man will surely destroy The rule of thumb In the mouths of little boys Earth spins delight We kill everything in sight To serve the needs And all purple skies will bleed And a bird flies weak Against polluted skies Before it dies And nature becomes illegal According to rules Made by fools Sift through the information Everlasting hesitation To reveal all knowing vices All the compomising prices Untouched by the law binders Setting standards to remind us That the ink has dried Behind the goal We wish to achieve is gone
Thanks for sharing, thanks a lot. Where was the vocalist? Why wasnt he in the video? These guys look way too you to have recorded this in 1990. I'm trying to figure it out. Maybe they werent in the og line up
I have a critique…. It sounds like the guitarists are playing to the click instead of the drummer…. That was the beauty of the original release, there were countless “off time” moments but they were all in sync… That said, still awesome 😎
Obviously talented players but let's hope Kelly can get Rand and Steve back (and Tony would be great too) before it's too late and you're all in the Nursing Home, nobody wants to see a tribute band no matter how skilled.
@@Omnatten9 he's writing-only, i remember Kelly talking about the situation on some podcasts and i forget the specifics but some combination of health and family stuff prevents him from touring
Me gustaría escucharlos sin la pista original, ya que la pista original aporta bastante al resultado. Igual hay mérito, pero como los originales…imposible.
Most definitely. Everyone in this band (past and present) is brilliant. Be sure to sub to Rand's UA-cam channel if you haven't already. He has some great stuff on there.
I admire any drummer who even attempts to learn Steve Flynn note-for-note. The man sure loves his notes!
Penguin was so fucking badass. The real heart break is losing the incomparable Roger Patterson. He was a dynamo on every level and it's fucking sad so few know that.
Looks like they r friends with the tools drummer :D
True we used to vist them in Bradenton in the wherehouse RIP Roger!!!!.

Same here

The 'real deal' is out there - Check out the rehearsal footage on the DVD from the Unquestionable Presence reissue
Kelly Schaefer got really bad carpal tunnel and can't play like this anymore which is sad but their replacement musicians are always fantastic.
Saw them in 2022 - perfection.

The bassist has good taste in movies.
Those drums man. Fucking mind blowing. Still to these days, scientists struggle to understand what the fuck Steve Flynn was playing
Absolutely stellar!!!!!
Thanks dude!
LEGENDS SUPPORTING LEGENDS
All virtuoso musicians, but my god, Anthony Medaglia is busting his balls here, major chops!
The bass on this track would have Geddy Lee, Les Claypool and Cliff Burton all nod in approval.
i'm a bassist myself and just watching dude rip through this song is making my forearms hurt.
Rog enters the chat
Great job guys!!!
I played for Atheist years ago during the Unquestionably Presence tour and on the live radio show.
Great job bassist!!!
Darren
Ha! So you are THE Darren... I remember seeing a picture of you with the band in a French metal magazine at the time. And more recently I saw a video of Atheist playing in Montreal at the time. I enjoyed every minute of it :-)
It's another dimension, this music speaks to the soul. My coffee has a better taste this morning.
I also feel it in a way that moves me like not much else does. It's pure perfection, humbles me every time I hear it.
I had a huge smile the whole way through. Solid players all round, especially the bassist! 🤟🤟🤟
Bassist is killing it. Nice work, guys!
Dudes, PLEASE do Unquestionable Presence!!! And thank you for this!!!
That bass is amazing, god bass players like this and tone are why Ive finally moved to a six string
This band should have thousand and thousands of subscribers!
Oh my g...dog what a performance!
Those bird sounds though at the end 🕊️ 🎶 4:17
the song is a musical powerhouse, and about as good as it gets, you guys replicated it beautifully, well done
Everything is amazing, but man, the drummer it's something from another world.
Could someone please explain that riff at 0:45??? I cannot figure it out, but I swear I've got the notes: 0 2 3 4
These dudes know their shit
Magnificent! Guys, please do not use too much fog or blinding lights during shows. It sucks when especially the drummer is not visible. Let us admire your musical craftmanship both with vision and sound :) . See you in Poland in february!
Perfect rendition!
Where you find this drummer? Wowww
Please send 10 of these for us in South America please
Musical masterpiece
Fantastic! Everyone nails it. The rhythm section is phenomenal!
One of my favorate songs!
This is my favorite band 🤘🤘
Excelente muestra de creatividad del género musical Death Metal.
When I first picked up album heading out to college in ...1995? 96? I honestly just thought it was ok and not really into it... I was more into Slayer and Morbid Angel at the time... Who would've thought I'd be coming back after all these years and am TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY !! It's my favorite album this year 2020!
Jesus fucking christ! This is almost too perfect.
Man that bassist is roger re incantated, awesome
These guys are insane live
I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said in the comments, all I can say is that was brilliant fella's!!!
Wow !!! Really good stuff !!! Keep it up guys !!!
Outstanding. Just outstanding.
Awesome, I love it, all of you guys absolutely nailed it!! 🖤👍
Gosh great job on playing Kelly & Rand's solos
Doesnt get any better than this. Top tier progressive metal
Awesome! Badass song by a super badass band!!! Hope to see more playthrough videos cause it would be insane if you dudes did “retribution”, “water” or “samba briza”...With Kelly on vox if possible lol 🤘🏼
I'd be interested to hear Kelly on Samba Briza ;P
wooow! good one!
Phenomenal 👌
I though that Steve Flynn's drumming style is not replicable, and here we are!
Incredible performance of an amazing song.🌌🖤
I love it! Fantastic drumming. Taking on a Steve Flynn piece. Impressive.
Absolutely awesome. Seem to be back in 91!
AMAZING!!! If yall could do all of piece of time and unquestionable presence, that would be great!!! :D
Wow 👍💖❤️
You say there's freedom
Within our nature
Well I don't think you understand
Mother Earth has fallen to Mother Man
The Air, the Sea, the Grass, the Trees,
The nemesis is the major,
Fearless leader Mother Man.
Come on take a look
At what's become
Of the existence that leads
Or so we think
That's always a popular phrase
It suits the laws written
By dear Mother Man,
Those heavy hands.
What man creates man will surely destroy
The rule of thumb
In the mouths of little boys
Earth spins delight
We kill everything in sight
To serve the needs
And all purple skies will bleed
And a bird flies weak
Against polluted skies
Before it dies
And nature becomes illegal
According to rules
Made by fools
Sift through the information
Everlasting hesitation
To reveal all knowing vices
All the compomising prices
Untouched by the law binders
Setting standards to remind us
That the ink has dried
Behind the goal
We wish to achieve is gone
Thanks for sharing, thanks a lot. Where was the vocalist? Why wasnt he in the video? These guys look way too you to have recorded this in 1990. I'm trying to figure it out. Maybe they werent in the og line up
Ok, I see what's up
@@LukeMcGuireoides I just got this message
Kelly Shaefer
@@LukeMcGuireoides Sorry mate
its not my fault youtube is backwards
Exceptional Musicianship! Keep up the great work!😍
Talented bunch but the clear winner here is the drummer's Apollo Creed flag shorts.
no puedo creer que este tema sea tan espectacular! realmente es alucinante
Beyond epic... a trully masterpiece!
TOP
tight as hell playing??
Amazing musicianship!! Thanks a lot for uploading
MORE!!!
Weeeeeeeeeena from chile Roger Patterson the Best bassman in the stile músic
Awesome 👍
Great job, wonderful, I wish you guys would come to moncton Canada.
More video guyyss 😁😁
Sweet playing
you guys rocked it out
Bravo 👏🏻.
I have a critique….
It sounds like the guitarists are playing to the click instead of the drummer…. That was the beauty of the original release, there were countless “off time” moments but they were all in sync…
That said, still awesome 😎
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 The best muito louco o som demais
F@&$ing badass cover!
Fucking awesome!
Epic!
Well done!
My 2 year old is moshing up a storm to this. He spinning in circles to the section at 3:29
This is really good but I wish the vocals were a little higher in the mix. Rn it’s like a instrumental with some vocals in
The background.
where are kelly and steve?
I'm not sure, but I think Steve is not anymore in the band and Kelly has a sickness that does not let him play the guitar anymore.
Kelly only does vocals now. That drummer is Anthony, he's Atheist's live drummer.
My new band dear sir Cheers -Kelly
SUPERAMAZING!!!
Obviously talented players but let's hope Kelly can get Rand and Steve back (and Tony would be great too) before it's too late and you're all in the Nursing Home, nobody wants to see a tribute band no matter how skilled.
perfection.
LMAO, Can't believe I exchanged my ...and justice album for this band
WOW
drumming is fucking insane
Nostalgia! :) good job! 💪🤘
Great job guys. Are we at the point where we have no original members?
Kelly Shaefer and Steve Flynn
@@scrambisbut why isn't Flynn here?
@@Omnatten9 he's writing-only, i remember Kelly talking about the situation on some podcasts and i forget the specifics but some combination of health and family stuff prevents him from touring
holy shitballs! these guys rip! Thanks!
Mint!
Вдруг я понял, что долго ждал этого!
awesome
Love it!
FUCKING BRILLIANT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
magia ,,,,
perfect.
can we have more please?
10/10 \m/
Me gustaría escucharlos sin la pista original, ya que la pista original aporta bastante al resultado. Igual hay mérito, pero como los originales…imposible.
❤
Drummer????
Fucking mechanic fine tuning a masterpiece!!!
HOAD ON!
Are these Kelly's bandmates?
yaaaaas
Is there a version without the track in the background?
Это было ахуительно парни
Well done! Not the original players but I don't care.
I don't give a shit, Randy Burkey is a guitar genius.
Most definitely. Everyone in this band (past and present) is brilliant. Be sure to sub to Rand's UA-cam channel if you haven't already. He has some great stuff on there.
We got lit. It's awesome seeing Him play being left-handed but strung right, playing everything upside down.
Agreed. I'd kill to see that guy playing again even if it's not with Atheist.
@@Victor-oc1ly Soon...
NOPE! :o exactly back in the 1991!
