    Last time i saw them in tulsa, marc looked directly into my soul and smiled with his concentration face in mid breakdown and i immediately found myself in the middle of the pit because i felt like he telepathically told me to. Best live show ever.

      Marc is awesome. My band opened up for Veil before and Marc let me play his guitar, this was when he still played Washburns. He plays fucking 12s, dont remember the tuning, but it feels like standard even though downtuned. Marc is a really chill dude

    This performance here really highlights why Brandon left the band, his highs were completely shot, his mids were heavily damaged, but his lows held on, and that small a range really wouldn't go along too well with their melodic leanings. I admit Lukas is basically Spencer Sotelo 2.0 and Matriarch a second rate Periphery album (but I do love Periphery), but False Idol makes me think they'll strike a balance between this sound and their new sound in time, we shall see, I have faith they will.

      _Literally_ EXACTLY the same..?? How is that even physically and sonically possible....? Their sound has been notably different since the vocalist was replaced and VOM's latest album appears to have largely been written to complement the singing; with more major harmonies and more accessible choruses.
      Also, my apologies - you better not lower your hands; because again, I disagree with your belief about their best song. *Winter Is Coming Soon* is definitely a contender, but they have a few "best" songs.
      Peace

    • @COLLINTENDO
      @COLLINTENDO 7 років тому +6

      "How is that even physically and sonically possible". lmao..
      And maybe it's an unpopular opinion but It feels as though saying 'It's Not Safe to Swim Today' is their best song is equivalent to saying 'Run to the Hills' is Iron Maiden's best song. Or that 'Master of Puppets' is Metallica's. I don't mean that they're not good songs, they're great! But those are the most played and are the most commonly known. Real fans are usually tired of hearing them by now. Recently I've actually gone back to listen to [id] because when it was released I wasn't a huge fan of it but now that I'm older and can appreciate certain things better I've realized that I simply wasn't ready at the time for that much progressive/badass/technical/rompstomping awesomeness that only Marc could create. And because I never really listened to it It's like they just released a whole new album! With the original vocals! lol

    • @j.m.339
      @j.m.339 7 років тому +11

      Their are def not the same VOM. True early fans know this shit. It will never be the same without Brandon. Their new stuff is not nearly as heavy and the clean vocals that sound similar to any other metal band is just so generic.. The Common Collapse is a composition that truly cannot be matched by any of the new style genetic clean vocal type of metal. One of the best metal albums ever. Forever burned into my brain, every song and pattern of beat. I swear it makes my mind more productive when listening to some of their old stuff.

    • @divinasi0n
      @divinasi0n 7 років тому +2

      I totally agree about the new vocals... they're so generic. What's with this trend where modern vocalists are sounding more like Broadway singers..?? Honestly their singing kinda gets on my nerves....
      For example, Erra has particularly grating generic vocals in my opinion - personally I don't listen to the band - but I listen to the odd bit of Periphery and ultimately I can't help but feel like turning it off.

      Yes, me too. I like their style back then. But the new vocalist is much more skilled than brandon.

      @@amanfromnowhere1388 he’s better at sounding like the guy from periphery. He’s boring to listen to 🤷🏾

    this was so much better than now. Their latest stuff isn't my cup of tea. Even though it's not bad music, it's so drastically different from what I loved them for. Something completely different that it makes no sense comparing it. I will forever love older stuff of theirs.

    Love Marc's comment.... "its the same feeling every time" talking about being sick and still it remains the same feeling.
    So true dude. NO matter what. It kicks in the second you hear it all together.

    You know I get splitting money with another band member would suck.. cuz I know they're not making hardly any money as it is but it would be cool to see Brandon be the screamer Lukas be the singer. Brandon just can hit those low gutters and screams I'll always love and miss when they get really heavy.
