[@Bryan2528]

Gene Hoglan is the only drummer who can play these songs with sunglasses in a dark place... This guy rules...

[@moderusprime]

It's not hard to play the drums in the dark or even blindfolded.

[@harimisasaki-zl2bx]

@@moderusprimebtw that is actually true because I play drums many times in pitch darkness and it’s not hard if you know your drum set really good and the position of the toms of the snare and the symbols

Chuck was a genius, a master, and he accepted just genius and masters around him, musically. Every song created by them, is a masterpiece.

[@Glass_Caskets]

P R. M. Idk about genius and master but he was one talented mofo among other things...

[@FITBIKECO777]

The coolest thing about death is he evolved his music and it matured with time from the gore stuff to realistic life with control denied hes a legend up there with Dimebag and Randy Rhoads , RIP CHUCK

[@sonofsuicide3550]

He is the best no doubt

HOGLAN

[@ilialvov8142]

Gene is awesome as always. That said, I'm always kinda bummed that Bobby is so underrated in this line-up, the man has a pretty unique style.

[@tombaddict]

Gene is a god

[@pranav3848]

[@mudfightmaster4275]

@Yaroslav Guerra then its funny because usually metal noobs isnt into complex riffs and more of a catchy riffs, which means death has the ability to both gain heart from "metal noobs" and long time metal listener which i doubt opeth and gojira could, no disrespect tho, gojira and opeth is good but they didnt have the charm death has

[@mudfightmaster4275]

@Yaroslav Guerra you can say all you wants because calling names is what you could only do anyway 🤣, you are comparing a band made ages before opeth and gojira, no shit it wouldve better production, not to mention chuck use cheap gears and shit tone anyway but still gain popularity, well if you think gojira and opeth is better for global consumer then explain how they could make catchy riffs and complex at the same time 🤣 gojira and opeth didnt have the charm death have and youre gonna mad facing the truth lmao

[@mudfightmaster4275]

@Yaroslav Guerra death is still selling millions of album worldwide and their lead singer is dead 🤣 cope lost to a band that isnt even running anymore

When I first discovered this album it truly changed me for the better. Nothing compares

[@Selkirk69]

the drummer is insanely good Aquiles Priester did a cover of this that was fantastic !!

[@Surmoka]

Priester did a show-off cover where he included a lot of gratuitous fills. Yet he never achieves the elegance of Hoglan, he works the sticks as if they were shovel handles

[@jsmirnoff77]

He did the mechanic stuff. He never had Gene’s swing.

What a genius Chuck was. Fuck cancer Great live act by the way. Sounds even better than the already great Studio Version

[@hellbringer09]

legitimately one of those band who sounds better live and every show was better then the last... wish i coulda been alive to see this lineup play...

ライブでこの緊張感出せるなんて、ただただ絶句デス！ もっと、もっと聞きたかったなぁ。 最高のライブパフォーマンスありがとう！ 名曲は何年経っても色褪せません！

[@abrahamparish]

I regret never seeing Chuck live. This sounds amazing!

[@ingoledebur2059]

Have seen him live a couple of times! The last time on the last tour and in my opinion there is no band, that innovates their sound over the years! From Scream Bloody Gore to Spiritual it's getting more technical, and a few years later they added some progressive stuff! But they were always great! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy!

[@kenjiwakisaka1009]

I was in another show in Osaka same year. I am lucky I could see Chuck alive. Rip, legend.

[@fillib7885]

I'm the only one who is so impressed by the technical perfection of the whole band and in particular of that goddamm phenom called Billy Koelble? He put a fucking jazz guitar clinique in the solo of probably the most beautiful death metal song ever, obviously I'm not going to comment CHUCK'S GREATNESS for creating the entire gift to humaity called DEATH, because it's clear to everybody...

[@arkhanyc247]

Youre not alone man. Bobby made only 3 solos on that album, but well... For me hes the best lead guitarist Chuck had on his albums and i didnt even knew him. That perennial quest solo...

[@Rakkhun369]

You’re not alone. I’m primarily a guitarist but for me the cymbal work on the album blew me away. I know that sounds stupid but the drumming & especially the cymbals are something I’ve never f-ing heard in my life. The drumming is like a symphony going off all on it’s own. & yeah Bobby Koelble is phenomenal.

[@geoffreygnosis]

I got into Death at age 11 (1992 ish.) Changed my life for the better.. This album is a masterpiece.......... RIP Chuck, always sad I didn't get down to Ocala to meet you and jam! 🖤
