Fear Factory ~ complete set ~ 5-21-12 on ROCK HARD LIVE

[@OMONSTROBR]

Burton is a legend as Anselmo, Flynn, Cavalera, Araya . people must respect or get out. GREAT SHOW.

[@TweedleDumInk]

The drummer is smashing out an assignment on a typewriter over there

[@thomaswalton9354]

Ha ha 🤣that's hilarious 😂

[@sloedwn7509]

Yeah it’s for Double Bass Biology, it’s a tough class

[@Rhinovirus666]

I was there!!! 🥹🫡🤣

[@jonathanrandise5073]

Everyone wants to run their damn mouths about fear factory live. Burts an old man and yes its not like it used to be but it's still Fear Factory. Shut up and enjoy a band that paved way for thousands of other bands!.

[@jonathanrandise5073]

And you know what I wouldn't even be mad at him if he used backing tapes live.

[@mondosonoro1]

Jonathan Randise opino lo mismo, un hombre que lleva años haciendo su trabajo obvio que va a tener un desgaste sostenido de su voz. respeten la trayectoria y su legado.

[@jonathanrandise5073]

Nargathron666​ did I say he wasnt?

[@JMRSplatt]

+Jonathan Randise I agree with you.. this shit is fucken awesome... However... Burt should practice a bit more.. it's not excuse missing those notes in my opinion.. plenty of great older singers out there.. Granted he is screaming is voice out all the dam time.

[@malcolmrff]

The drummer must be popping popcorn...

[@andoano]

Hilarious comment

[@illuddivinus3309]

He plays to a click track with literally no feel. He’s off by milliseconds on every bass kick - which is annoying af live.

[@maxsdad666]

I saw them back in '98, during the Obsolete tour. They opened for Slayer. What a fucking show! Pretty cool all the tracks off that album they do here. Also saw them in '97 on the very first Ozzfest. Remember that? Manson doing Antichrist, Pantera tearing it up, Peter being Peter in Type O, and Fear Factory starting it out. What a trip. At the old Mile High no less. Fuck I'm getting old.

[@sticksman7819]

It's a shame they don't play more from SOANM like leechmaster,rise above oppression,flesh hold,crash test,big god/raped souls but that is my favourite album.

[@jasonpanic2971]

Burt's harsh vocals still sound as good as ever. That is hard to maintain for THAT long when you are that old. Even if Burt's voice is gone, ANYONE that goes to one of these shows knows that it's not about his voice, it's an experience.

[@m0p_t0p]

Try singing with harsh growls and clean singing in the same song, almost if not every day, for 20 years and see how your voice sounds. It's hit or miss, but in most cases he sounds fine. Burton sounded great at the Atlanta show back in May. He killed it both times i've seen them. Fear Factory will always be one of the best bands out there.

[@madammemorte]

WHAT A SET!!!!

[@mkaspecter]

Burton is one of my favorite vocalists ever. He is phenomenal in the studio, and though there is some slop in his live performances, I find it incredible how close he comes to his recordings. There's no way in Hell I could do that.

[@PJBonoVox]

Some slop? He can't hit a note to save his life. His live vocals are the reason Fear Factory never became a legendary band and are often overlooked in my opinion.

[@Foolhollow]

To be fair, there are few singers that sound EXACTLY like they do in albums. I don't think a lot of people stop to consider how much processing goes into albums...I think he sounds fucking awesome.

[@ecgodsmack86]

nice ff keep rocking waiting for next tour in san antonio

[@RockHardLive]

Our pleasure.

[@67beaumont67]

Wow...brings a tear to my eye... Fantastic... thanks! I get to seethem in 22 days thaks!

[@35057]

Starting off with the classics!!! \m/..\m/

[@Nobellend]

Fear Factory forevaaaaaaarrrrrr! :-)

[@filtinator]

I really wanted to go to this concert but I had to wait for my paycheck. Fear Factory is my favorite

[@ParalHAXX]

Edgecrusher deserve an official video clip, best FF song ever :O

[@GeraldProductions80]

FF has ALWAYS been hit or miss live especially Burton's vocals.

[@TrulyStucker]

Dude, you're absolutely legend for doing this! Thanks a mill for uploading full show!!

[@slayersieg89]

3rd time watching this concert this week. Im just crazy about Fear Factory

[@djyewsten]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@Shilo83]

Never gonna regret subbing to this channel, thanks for the awesome shows.

[@laodicea100]

i just added that album (obsolete) to my ipod now i added the industrialist too. Im ready to start my day with ff!! hahaha

[@cmahammer]

I've been seeing them live since '99 and they've been painful every time. Burton's reminding me of Rob Zombie where even in his "prime" he could never really hack it live. Sad story because I love the band and music.

[@revivedfears]

Rob Halford has never used anywhere near the aggressiveness that Burton has used for 25+ years. There is no way a guy in his 60's could sing like Burton. it just wouldn't happen. His harsh vocals still sound great, he easily gives guys half his age a run of their money.

[@Rycorpse]

watched this so many times, never get enough! :)

[@tgchan]

Thank you/

[@DjJokerr]

Living in Chicago I saw FF live shit loads of times, and I do agree Burton's voice isn't as good as I remember from late 90's to early 2000's. Still I love going to FF concerts and hearing songs from my favorite album Obsolete. Too bad they can't perform songs from Archetype album which is my second favorite album following Demanufacture.

[@disabledvet420]

why cant they perfrom from that album?

[@DjJokerr]

zombies80 Because of the legal actions that might be taken against them, Archetype was done by 2 former Fear Factory members and Dino can't play the songs they wrote since he was out of the picture at the time and had nothing to do with them.

[@PuppetJacks]

DjJokerr Probably also to do with the fact that Archetype was written about Dino, after the messy departure (The infection has been removed, The soul of this machine has improved) ...etc

[@Dreadess13]

I met Dino back at Ozzfest '99 just walking around. He stood there and talked to us for a good 20 minutes, he was such a cool guy!

[@DollyBelladonna]

Linking this Gig to I

[@slayersieg89]

you should get all the main ones and witness....The Evolution of Fear Factory...its well worth it, as for all the haters bashing Archetype and Transgression it was good so see Burton do something a little different and unique, being in another state of mind...i love this band, they are my favorite they are amazing studio and live.Burton is Fear Factory, the concept the style, everything...its just good to have Dino back so he has his best bud and right hand man back. We Love Machine Gun riffs.

[@viralencore85]

I only saw this band once and that was in 04. I wish they had played a set as good as this. They played no songs from Digimortal. And only one from their first album. It was basically just Obsolete and Demanufacture which are great albums but damn.

[@carloslara3364]

amazing sound love fear factory sound since its inception

[@AU-metalhead]

Brutal set list! Awesome!. Thanks for share it!

[@Troyificus]

[@TheRockapak1]

I dont care if Burton's live singing sucks.I love him.I love Dino and the rest of the guys,current and former members.Been a die hard fan since Soul Of A New Machine way back in 92.Never ever get tired of em'.But i'm a bit dissapointed with the departure of Hoglan.Well i guess he is a LEGEND and one of the best ever and for that he can do whatever he wishes to do.And now he is with Testament.My GOD he is everywhere.Still loving him though.FF 4 LIFE...:-)

[@neeltennis93]

seeing them in 2 weeks. fuck yes

[@metalhead1237]

metal for life people i love the sound of the bass drums they kickass

[@slayersieg89]

Dino and Tim are Divine Heresy. Has Anyone seen the jam session videos? who needs that vocalist anyway.

[@yvonnegonzalez5616]

No Iron Maiden,w.out Bruce D.; No Black Sabbath, without Ozzy O.; No Queensrhyche, w.out Geoff T.; No Testement, w.out Billy C.; No FearFactory, without Burton C.Bell.

[@damnationdefied777]

Fear Factory is a great studio band.

[@ArtHazard]

They sound pretty tight to me.

[@unkatruk9932]

Mid-'90s live FF was superb. Especially in smaller venues like HOB. Let's face it, not only were they younger back then... they were way more driven. That's gone forever. Enjoy 'em while they last

[@PigJusticeYass]

Fear Factory has been one of my favorite bands for over 20 years. Having said that, they have been around for a long time. I can't believe people still don't know Burton's clean vocals sound crappy live, even on the albums they aren't that great. Still though he is an amazing vocalist in my opinion. It's not about the sound of his voice, but the emotion behind it.

[@PigJusticeYass]

If you want some one that sings as good live as in the studio, I suggest Devin Townsend.

[@biokemical]

Rick Alzamora Lamb of god would have to be the best sounding live. They sound as good live if not better than their studio albums.

[@godvandamme9921]

I mean he's a metal vocalist, not Celine Dion

[@slayersieg89]

When they came to houston @ scout bar it was Fanfuckingtastic. Love Fear Factory.

[@Idkwhtpsipto]

This was a really really good setlist!! I’ll never understand why they close with replica but whatever. Long Live FF.

[@edj8671]

Yeah I love his cleans on the albums, I wish he could reproduce them live. Oh well, I would still kill to see a show. I missed them the last time they came to town. :(

[@NeonRazer42]

I love how you put the "lol" at the end of that. lol

[@nickgreeen]

much cooller than at an open air!!! yeah

[@thommoboy666]

@badcompany dino did not write archetype so he and burton refuse to play them but i would love to hear some archetype tracks too :p

[@exoticvibes8419]

Burton Dino Herrera Christian is the solution ..Anyone agree ?

[@lucianomasotto4957]

fear factory grandissimo gruppo continuate cosi'

[@meshugeah]

What do you guys wanna hear? Perfect...

[@BricktopThrower]

This guy on drums is a machine. An evil machine.

[@mr.nervedamagegaming8050]

The problem with metal vocalists who scream (and) sing is that their "singing" voices will wear out much faster on stage. No scream/sing vocalists can go into the studio in one day and knock out all of their songs because it's too wearing on the vocal chords... they will usually do the singing and screaming separately, or they will space out the songs to x number of days to make sure the quality is good; but you don't have this option live. I've not heard many scream/sing guys sound great live.

[@LukeMay]

After watching this video I can see why Burt treats the London crowds in the UK so well. Why is everyone standing like their in a queue? When I see Fear Factory I'm screaming every verse and rocking out like it's the last hour on earth!

[@tmoney511]

So brutal. Love it.

[@olihagen]

the song called Recharger was from their latest album. =)

[@tmoney511]

I saw this concert live. Was definitely better actually being the their. Sounded better too.

[@Burningchromosome]

" Burton has a great memory to sing all those lyrics and flat out scream it out like that ! "

[@slayersieg89]

yes he is

[@CesarTrombeta]

Esse baterista é simplesmente RIDICULO!O CARA NÃO SE MEXE TOCANDO!!PARECE UM ROBÔ!

[@Edmasterz]

At least appreciate the fact that he still does this and has stick to extreme music for over 20 years now. He is 40 or something of course his voice is not the same it used to be back in 1995.+ all that screaming, growling and doing clean vocals in the same song and set fucks up your voice big time.

[@Sarcosapien]

Gene, Gene, the Drumming Machine!

[@codyholtry8571]

For those people who keep saying Burton's vocals are not any good, think about this: how you would sound singing like that at 44 years old after singing like that for over 20 years? I'm pretty sure NO ONE will sound better than Burt sounds now.

[@CyberCristo]

After Zero Signal Burton Says - FATALITY . EXCELENT BURTON FFF Fear Factory Forever

[@Marauder623]

i can agree with you, but this was probably towards the end of the tour

[@neeltennis93]

i bought three albums from FF(demanufacture, obsolete, and the industrialist) and i am fucking proud of it. others should do the same

[@andrewhopkins3960]

Sounds pretty fucking good to me!

[@MrGuido742617000027]

Well, Demanufacture, Self Bias Resistor, Zero Signal and Replica are sung perfectly so Burton can still do it.

[@GrampaDenny74]

Edgecrusher, Obsolete album, one of their best, go get it!!

[@DeEzriel]

I've always thought the same thing... I realize that it's easier to hear yourself at certain venues and especially in a studio... but the fact that he can rarely stay in key live makes me wonder.... then again with this band and many others.. it's as much about seeing them live (being a few feet from one of your favorite bands) as it is about the actual performance quality... it's always a bonus when it's a mix of both though, ; ).

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

They really need Raymond Herrera back.

[@coryanthony5134]

AJ the Marauder wtf happened to Raymond anyways?? Dino left too..but returned. Where Raymond at?? Lol all tho gene was a excellent choice to have play with them.

[@Flaheat]

How so? He nailed the song Powershifter perfectly.

[@MetalDeprival]

Yes of course harsh vocals are harder on vocal cords, but don't underestimate very high "clean" screams and high vocals. I know Rob has nothing to do with Burt but you know i had the chance to praise Halford and i exploited the situation lol

[@RDdaNINJA]

I wanna see them play some more stuff from "Soul Of A New Machine", such as Scapegoat, Leechamster, Lifeblind, Scumgrief, and Big God - Raped Souls.

[@fratellopawuk]

YES!!!!!! Raymond is best!

[@judemisura4323]

He is in Arkaea with Christian Olde Wolbers......they quit when Dino came back

[@Tamadrummer1981]

Dino messed up the beginning of Demanufacture, not the drummer, he was with the sample track and obviously with the click, Dino came in on the 2 instead of the 1, Dino need to wear in ears and have the click as well.

[@fratus8228]

i love the first song named slave labor ..... A big like from me !!!!!!!!!

[@MetalDeprival]

I agree with you about the damage, but it breaks my heart to see how much Bell has to struggle to sing those high notes... I should see them live to judge though

[@scottwilks]

I GOT TO GET AWAY!

[@Exigne_Corner]

They won't play songs from Archetype or Transgression because those are albums without Dino involved. Because of that Dino doesn't feel comfortable playing them.

[@goronstyle]

Dat drums!

[@dorkclock]

He sings much more in his other projects. They are not metal related. He is still a very nice guy. Touring has def affected his voice, and the fact that he is like 40. It's always been a bit shaky live anyway, I don't care.

[@Lakihart1]

Best fear factory show was with rob zombie and monster magnet fear factory opened...first time I ever heard obsolete live...and the last...FEAR FUCKIN FACTORY!!!!

[@taosan]

Dino's guitar tone.....god DAMN!

[@hammerheart14]

Great live show, HOWEVER, they REALLY need to get the computer effects into their live setting.

[@larz28]

I thought it sounded pretty good overall. The drummer skipped a beat on the Demanufacture intro but Dino caught it before the pause. He's just using triggers on the bass drums but Raymond used those as well..

[@FullFrontalLobotomy]

love it yeeeoowww

[@Mvcleemp]

You are right! But overall a great job of the drummer!

[@revivedfears]

Oh, I wasn't putting Halford down, Painkiller era priest is very tough to sing. I was just saying they use different styles so the vocal damage can't really be compared.

[@Sarcosapien]

first time listening to Fear Factory?

[@Crossa]

The drummer's face is priceless XD

[@Koolkid40]

whats the name of the second song with the parental warning? sounds sick!

[@boblatt3288]

Should of saw them on the first 2 albums. saw them on both they sounded incredible. I saw them headline a huge show with Overkill, Propain , bio hazard , Misfits, Downset all at in Asbury park NJ . they sounded better then everyone on the bill. They are perfectionists. They just aren't as funded, as back then. Like Machine Head they still are good but watch their classic live videos. They were amazing, top dollar sound.

[@olihagen]

thats really awesome that they played Martyr, do they do that often?

[@benzesp]

Gene... Where were ya?

[@ryanvincentjaeger]

I saw Gene play with them, and then I saw them with the new guy, and while the new guy played well, it just wasn't the same as Gene. By far the best drummer they've had...

[@bucksatanII]

Raymond was FFs best drummer.

[@ryanvincentjaeger]

@@bucksatanII I never got to see them with him unfortunately.
