They sound so insane live bro! It blows my mind every time

Jake’s lows sounding filthy 🤘

You need to teach a class on concert recordings because for some reason NOOObody else does it like this 👏🏻 👏🏻 I’ve been screaming for YEARS for people who are at an elevated position during a show to record the pit during THE heaviest breakdowns but everyone else sucks and keeps the damn camera on the stage the entire time.

[@brunodelcarpio]

i feel you. thats one of the reasons why i decided to start filming shows. youll like some of my videos from above. i have a few

[@AutasticReviews]

the farther away from the stage the more sound has a chance to bounce, thats why you can see the crowd here but the audio sounds echoey as fuck, the best would be if you could put a recorder close to stage but capture video from balcony front row but its so hard to pull off

[@christianmartinez1]

Bro I was there. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen period.

[@jebbediah212]

This show was so good, thanks for sharing one of my favorite moments from it!

[@joey_morg]

I remember seeing ABR waaaay back in 2006 at a tiny VFW Hall just outside of Hartford Connecticut and there were more people on stage than in the crowd! That didn't bother them or me and my friend, we all went psycho anyways! Absof*ckinglutely amazing how far they've come since then! Such a great bunch of dudes 🤘🤘

[@JesseQuinn]

Wild. When their album Thrill Seeker (2005) was released, it captivated me. I followed them for years. I got a chance to share my appreciation for their intricate time signatures in I think 2007, in Portland OR at The Satyricon. They could see I was a fan, it was a cool moment. I got to talk to JB for a bit, he told me he writes all his guitar parts on MIDI, and drums, and then him and Matt learn what he programmed Lol.. I thought that was crazy, since most people do not write their music on MIDI first. JB wrote all their songs, and the band would learn them. These guys were also very different in the fact that they dressed normal, and not rugged and metal scene.

[@Baedda666]

I love this band so much ❤

[@toosickk2808]

This is top tier recording. I didn’t even realize that the guitar player did the high screams!? Is this only live? Or have I been living a lie since back burner? Lol

[@jebbediah212]

Dustin has been doing those fries for a little while now, can’t think of which album he started tbh. But he has been their bassist for the longest time, and now he just plays almost all the instruments lol. It’s super cool to see Dustin and Brent switch from guitar to bass and vise versa live.

[@toosickk2808]

My favorite band! They are very good live. Just saw them on their 20th anniversary.

[@ErikPehrsson]

I remember when that album came out. I listened to it straight for a good two weeks+. Bloodletter is my favorite!

Sic vid and awesome sound quality. Will be seeing them for the second time in OKC next week with TDWP.

If this was an episode of metalocalypse, that chandelier would have annihilated everyone….. 😂

[@TunnelJumper]

Matt’s kicks sound SO good. To anyone who knows about live sound, are they possibly gated? They sound super clean and have a very distinctly short attack.

[@Black0Electric]

I assume they're probably using drum triggers with a sample of the kick sound they want. That's what I do currently for live shows.

[@TunnelJumper]

@@Black0Electric To my knowledge, Matt’s never used triggers for kick samples. So I recently saw a video of Josh Dun’s kit where triggers are used to open microphone gates on the drums so that cymbals and stage noise don’t constantly bleed in. When a drum is not being played, the mic channel is “closed.” When the drum is struck, the trigger sends a signal to the console to briefly open the mic channel and immediately close it after each hit. Last time I saw ABR live, the kicks had dynamics so they were unmistakably miked but the attacks were so short yet so powerful that I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.

[@LouSassles]

@@TunnelJumperost metal bands use triggers for gate purposes (if they are micing the kick)

[@thefourthperspective]

Matt used triggers

[@coltonmoore9528]

I was in that crowd. I will never forget how fucking awesome that was.

[@CookingwithDave.]

looked amazing

[@amirphoenix2327]

Why there are chandeliers?

[@GimmeABReakd0wn]

I was front in center up against the rail the entire time! Out of the 50+ shows in my life, this was my favorite and I've seen ABR like 10 times before.
