high on fire freaking slayed!!! 1000000 points!!

THINGS THAT HAPPENED:
1 matt pike (the frontman) is a total manic.
2 sounded exactly like the albums
3 the vocal mix was poor..which sucked, but his vocals sound exactly the same live..
4 the bass tone was so thick even without a rythem guitar when they went into solos, no momentum was lost
5 matt pike has inspirational command over the guitar
6 tons of energy for a 3 man simple band
7 matt pike was using an 8 or 9 string guitar!????? 4 normal strings...2 12 string style strings....AND STILL RIPPED IT UP LIKE A MANIAC WITH THE SOLOS...grabbing the crowd's hands DURING solos...while he just used his left hand....
8 the show started early so i missed all the openers (colloseum, panther, mono (from japan???))

yet i turn the hate inward. was it comfortably loud, or painfully loud? I've heard richards excruciatingly loud to the point of leaving. I did not enjoy that.
Something about live music pushed through club systems or some such? - Sat, 27 Oct 2007 4:15am

High on Fire was FUCKING RAD... that guit he was playing is a 9-string custom from First Act. Pretty cool, and a great way to thicken up the leads. Must be a bitch to keep in tune though!

And yeah it was pretty loud but not hurting. They don't have a lot of high end in their sound, which I'm sure helps. - Sat, 27 Oct 2007 12:03pm
