Please make a Symbolic and Crystal Mountain version like this. It's sick. The world needs this right now.

[@5ub2ero]

Agreed. Especially with Symbolic. That particular song has a special meaning for me.

Still imagining all that could have been if he'd survived.

[@ritualdeathmetal]

He. You must write it with a capital beacuse Chuck is a god

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

He might not have become the absolute legend that he has if he had lived on. Life and death still have some mystery to it. Chuck leaving this world early could have been (in part) simply because he was done with this planet. After the phenomenal musical contributions he made, I would not automatically discard this possibility. This life can be hard and painful, as any metal fan ought to know. Death is not always a tragedy and is in fact the natural end of everything that is born. Death can even be spiritual, as Chuck himself sort of explored & learned during his lifetime.

[@Modeus_Moon]

He most likely wouldn’t have kept doing death metal in all honesty. He was already planning on leaving Death where it was during Symbolic, but people wanted another album, which ended up being The Sound Of Perseverance. He probably would’ve kept doing Control Denied like he was working on, but we honestly couldn’t know where it would lead from there. I’m just glad he gave us everything he did. He was a pretty poetic man, and obviously a virtuoso of his craft. Even in death, the image he left lives on in many of us. So we really are blessed tbh. Death to All! Lol

[@gb9884]

Holy shit to see Steve Digiorgio in action like this is amazing. Bobby also did a great job on Symbolic.

[@michaelr.4878]

For sure. These are the best 3 players Chuck ever had at their respective instruments, imo. If Steve had been able to do the Symbolic album and tour, that would have been their best line up ever if you ask me. I love all of their lineups from Human on...but this would have been the best if it had been able to happen, imo.

The guy of the first solo is clearly having an awesome time playing this song. Ufff so emotive such emotions in each note.

Death. Individual Thought Patterns was/is the best album I have ever heard. It just blew up my mind.

[@im3phirebird81]

Not exactly one to sing along, but the musicianship is at such a high level but my heart feels it still with its complexity.

[@ajhproductions2347]

Right now, Chuck is proudly smiling on you all. Thank you for this, it made my week! Cheers

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

How could he not? This music is just beautiful. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the talent and imagination behind this music are still seldom surpassed. Even _decades_ later. I am a fan of all kinds of music, from jazz to pop to Death. If it's got heart, imagination and talent, it will live on in people's minds and hearts for many years.

[@andresklinchovski9032]

Mientras más pasan los años, más me sorprende la buena banda que era Death.

[@hutl]

Such an amazing line up. Steve is my favorite bass player of all time in any genre. Max is one of the few people I've seen who really does Chuck's vocals justice

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Saw Death on this tour, both Steve and Gene were with the band then. Killer, legendary!

Guitar solo and it's sound is amazing.just like in the album version. So great to remember good old days, I was listening to my "Individual thought patterns" CD. Happy now that I add a small value to Chuck's art ( buying an album) when he was alive. R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner.

[@kleinlasch7795]

Thank you very much, I just enjoyed it very much :-) I ended up playing guitar because of Chuck. R.I.P I bought the CD Individual Thought Patterns immediately when the CD came out here and i freaked out with a friend^^ I will still hear the Death Records at 70 :-) Greetings from Germany

[@jamesbagguley868]

As a guy with a drum kit (not a drummer by any means) it has been liberating to watch Gene play and see his setup. For myself, his interpretation of - and approach to - music is incredibly inspirational. Gene's shedding of what might be seen as "conventions" in kit layout and playing style has been a great influence and while I am not a particularly accomplished player, using similar ideas has brought a new ability to find engaging flows and enjoyment... surely the fundamental reason to play in the first place. Many thanks to the man in question!! Also, in my humble opinion, DTA are mindblowingly true to Chucks original vision and the worthiest reprasentatives to continue his legacy.

[@drakonolus7922]

What would happened if Chuck never died, and still living till today. Just right here. And his vocals sounds really good, very acqurate, just like him.

[@colvinscorner]

If dta announces another tour after concerts reopen i will cry

[@5ub2ero]

Those were the years when I first had listened to Human and ITP albums and got intimidated by Mr DiGiorgio's extreme bass work. Up to that point, fretless bass was just an instrument to my ears used in the genre of jazz. I would really love to see Steve DiGiorgio cover a Marcus Miller song in his own style and with his own interpretation! =)

[@josezerpa8177]

Thank you guys for keeping Chuck's and Death's legacy alive! You all are fucking legends!
