Death To All - Flattening of Emotions w/ special guest Paul Masvidal (Live @ Brick by Brick)

[@Plagueborne]

I hope this video continues to bring everyone in the Death community together for years to come. I know if the band saw this, they'd appreciate the love and I'm so glad we could all share in this moment in one way or another! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Edit: 10k views on a video from some obscure channel like mine! Chuck's and Paul's influences are still thriving all these years later and the interaction this random video has seen is proof of that. You folks all kick ass. 2nd edit: (11/19/2023) nearly 36k for these legends. I'm looking forward to a potential 30-year celebration tour of Symbolic in 2025. How about you?

never believed in tribute bands or reunions but this is an act of justice…thanx

[@Cosmic_Code]

I cant get use to that guitar he is playing without head. It just sticks out in a odd abnormal way haha.

[@Plagueborne]

@@Cosmic_Code true haha. He's always played them though. Don't fix what ain't broke, I guess lol.

[@Olysterz]

Paul Masvidal is so underrated. What an awesome guitar player. His solos on Human are inhuman. Nobody sounds like him.

[@oleksiistri8429]

Even first Cynic album released in 1993 is a masterpiece of guitar work, so technical, rhytmical and beautiful riffs! At that times it was like nothing else.

[@CynicalSphere]

Him and Jason Gobel inspired a looooooot of progressive death metal and don't get nearly as much credit as they probably should

[@BreizhButter]

His shred work on Master's On the Seventh Day... album is his craziest in my humble opinion.

[@Hell-Awaits]

Here comes the usual "UnDeRrAtEd" comment...🤣🤣🤣

Only Gene can pull off Sean's Drum tracks so magnificently.🤘

[@Plagueborne]

He's an absolute master of his craft!

[@hazardeur]

he plays it great but look how stiff he is. he really has to work for it to make it happen. compare that to sean's take where he was 18.it looks so fluent and like he can go all day. makes me respect him as a player even more than i already do

[@vacant26]

[@hazardeur]

@@vacant26 yeah dude! not crapping on gene, he's a beast and plays this almost perfectly. i just rarely seem him working hard like this. usually he seems like he's thinking about what groceries to buy while murdering his kit with no effort

Вот это настоящий металл!!! Учился на 2-м курсе военного училища когда вышел 1995 Symbolic … высший пилотаж! Мне сейчас 47, этот альбом в автомобиле в ротации играет всегда!

[@mclovinpo]

I just saw 1991 footage of them live, Paul played his dam heart put back then, it’s so cool to see him again with Steve

[@shanegriffin2215]

I got chills watching this. And sad tears as well. Because Chuck and Sean are no longer with us. That entire album was so ahead of its time and still makes my jaw drop everytime I hear the songs.

[@nathaninostroza7655]

Best album from Death. Human was like no other album back then. It spawned the other following ones and many many bands who worshipped the land Death walked on to this day. Human s da Game changer.

[@VanJR.]

I went to the show in Austin, this past Tuesday and man did I tear up seeing this live because I waited 17 years for this. I was only 17 years old in high school when I was exposed to Death. To this day, I’m still impressed when I listen to Death

[@Plagueborne]

Not alone, brother 🤘🏻

[@pungentzeus]

I teared up twice when I saw Cynic play Focus a couple weeks ago lol

[@tomfoolery8393]

Never saw Chuck play and regret it. I can't wait to see DtA in Philly next week. Left to Die was awesome, this will be too.

[@Plagueborne]

Gonna be an absolute blast!

[@scenoptica]

Awesome to see Paul playing some Death tracks. 😊

[@dmusiclife5727]

I never thought I’d get to see Paul ever play this song live all these years later 🙌

[@darioferrari9794]

Wow...I have a lump in my throat watching this. The sheer quality of the performance (Paul nailing that solo?!) and the joy it brings these men to show honour to Chuck and his legacy, what a privelege to have this recorded!

[@Plagueborne]

Love this amount of appreciation for these legends. It's definitely a privilege to share this with all my metal siblings!

[@jakobthonen9411]

Can't stop coming back to this. Love all these guys obviously but especially Paul. Such a great human no pun intended. Also in incredible shape physically too look at his arms

[@lorenzofaglia9796]

after so many years you can still see smiles on everybody faces, enjoying play together !!! Love you guys !

[@jakobthonen9411]

I will never get tired of this video. Shoutout to all of them obviously they all deserve lots of love and respect, but especially Paul right now. His band has been through a lot the lasts few years so I'm glad to see him having fun still doing what he loves

[@Plagueborne]

I hope somehow he sees this ❤️🤘🏻

[@shanegriffin2215]

This album all these years later still takes my breath away. And that there are so many that still want to hear the incredible songs that are on it.

[@Plagueborne]

You're absolutely right about that sentiment. Just bought it on vinyl (again) last weekend, too.

[@AsphyxGr]

Love Masvidal, embraces the soft abstract flows as well as the hard and chopy ones.

[@da5e]

Those lads are having the BEST time.

[@Plagueborne]

Right? Still loving what they do!

[@AncientNecropsy]

Amazing guitar solo from the master Paul Masvidal!

[@Joelweech]

What absolutely incredible musicianship.

[@AEON1911]

My dream dream was for this crossover to happen in Brazil at least once. I hope they come back again, the last time they came I didn't have the means($$) to go to the show. Death and Cynic participated in an important time in my life.

[@Plagueborne]

@@AEON1911 I chatted with Gene after their most recent show in San Diego and he said that he's excited to keep the legend alive with all the other guys. I really hope you get to experience your dream soon in Brazil!!!

So appreciate the post! Long time fan of everyone Chuck brought into the fold. All are top caliber musicians, he saw it in them back then! I sometimes wonder what Chuck would have brought us these days!? Horns up brother, horns up!!

[@zeusm11]

Such a great video, and the quality is spectacular. This is beautiful to watch, the joy in Paul’s face, even during the solo says it all. Thank you for capturing this and uploading it. P.S. Flattening, to me is the most aggressive Death song, every riff is more aggressive than the last, perfect opener for a perfect album.

[@Plagueborne]

Right there with you! Perfect choice to bring Paul into the mix. Pixel 6 Pro did the heavy lifting 🤘🏻

[@johnercalisanga5300]

Miss the Saune's . The supper drummer was among the finest of the elite . He said i always made him laugh . My Space could do that haha . Met Paul in Melbourne when they were the undercard for EdGuy . No im not making that up . They played the entire Traced In Air for an adoring crowd who duly left after the undercard was done . One of the most amazing performances I ever saw and ive seen em all . The Ancient Metal Guy reminiscence's from gigs can be gold .

[@mcpdrum]

Hoglan is a beast, but Sean's type of feel was unique.

[@markslade6744]

Yep, it really was. There's a Drumtalk special which was made when Sean Reinert passed away, & Gene Hoglan said on it that Sean's parts needed to be treated like Neil Peart's in Rush - you play them exactly as they played them because they were perfect. Can't argue with that.

[@hazardeur]

@@markslade6744 jep. also, never saw gene having to concentrate and focus as much as he does here. sean was something else man

[@joshschutz7731]

That’s his signature strandberg

[@maynardhero]

What are the metal balls on Paul's right hand?

[@Plagueborne]

No idea. Didn't notice until you pointed them out. Maybe something to do with his Buddhism? Shot in the dark lol.

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

It's just a ring linked to his Buddhism beliefs. He has been into it before even recording Human, hence "The Philosopher".

[@mrmanju6989]

Is Masvidal the guy that Chuck wrote the Philosopher about? I thought they didnt get along in the end or something

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

Sean had no beef with Chuck, it was Chuck's thing because both Seans refused to join Death as permanent members to Focus on Cynic.

[@AncientEvil80]

So the legend says... something to do with someone (Tony Choy?) messing up with Chuck's girlfriend and Paul going "Eh, it's all karma dude", which made Chuck rather furious...

When you look at Masvidal's guitar play, I would bet he was influenced by Allan Holdsworth.

[@blppt]

Paul slays his solo---but it sounds like his guitar is not quite in tune. Anybody else agree?

[@BigMuff75]

Sounds like someone has a flanger going the whole song. Not pretty. But great performance.

[@marcosgr549]

oh boy these headless guitars suck so much. great performance though

[@kelner7663]

Chuck Schuldiner w grobie się przewraca. Nawet jeśli dobrze grają. W jakim celu funkcjonuje ten zdumiewający cover band? Było, minęło. Życie poszło do przodu. Tamto to prehistoria zapisana na płytach. Szacunek dla głównego lidera i twórcy tej muzyki. No ale Chopina, Bacha czy Mozarta też odgrywają kilkaset lat po ich śmierci. A swoją drogą, Chuck Schuldiner to taki Mozart tylko, że death metalu. Nawet tyle samo lat przeżył. Mogę słuchać oryginału z plyt, tylko nie żeby nie oglądać współczesnych wersji z koncertów. Ze smutkiem to powtórzę. Goście na żywo wyglądają kiepsko.Tyle.

Hate Masvidal’s guitars
