9 years later and this guitar tone is rocking the house! What a massive sound!!

[@andrewwabik5125]

I just found these guys! Holy shit, what the fuck have I been missing!!?!?

[@Chuggsbigman]

A big part of it is actually the tuning, He Tunes in E flat standard, then drops the 6th string down to B flat, So power chords make a low octave. It fills out more sound and makes it bigger

[@IronFather66]

Man, that guitar tone. Some modern doom bands should take notes.

[@DetVen]

smrgn645 The tone is so thick, you could pour it into a glass and drink it, but you'd probably choke on it.

[@alansmithy2152]

I have to say that at least one of them has taken those notes; have you ever listened to a Swedish band called Monolord?

[@SolidFoxHoundSF]

Alan Smithy monolord still doesn’t have what this tone is.

[@IronFather66]

@@alansmithy2152 Yes I have. Last year I purchased their album "No Comfort." I like their sound but the songs don't click with me like those of older Pentagram.

[@teetoys76]

Buy a Big Muff . Problem solved.

[@joeveach6518]

This is probably the best live footage of Pentagram I've found on youtube \m/

[@avsky837]

Bobby was a born metal-god. the fact that he's just recently been discovered again, is akin to finding another Lemmy or Ozzy. such a cool enigmatic figure.

[@norseman3514]

It’s sad that he made a junky out of himself all those years he was in the dark.

[@angry_mouse]

Yeaahhh!

[@timprescott4634]

He is a self sabotaging junky who ruined his original band’s chance. Not cool at all…

[@hombrelunar5194]

@@norseman3514 yeah but now its ok its on music again and it is great man

[@antimaxsmacks]

I can't believe there's only one guitar, that sound is HUGE!

[@TheNewBerser]

Just finished watching Last Days Here and im almsot crying... its so touching seeing this guy being rock bottom for so fucking long and managing to pull it trought, get the recognition he deserved with his music, meeting a good woman to love, and managing to form a family!

[@chicken6944]

+Lucas Gianoli That's old news. I wonder how he's doing now? Rock on Bobby!

[@TheNewBerser]

Well... he divorsed, his parents are in the hospital and apparently he is back on drugs again -.-.... but on the bright side he is still touring. Hopefully he will get his shit together again.

[@chicken6944]

Lucas Gianoli Hopefully he has a brain cell left!

[@chicken6944]

Lucas Gianoli Sorry to hear about his parents, did you get that from the doc?

[@TheNewBerser]

From an article about him

[@madzen112]

Saw them on this tour, got proper stoned for the first time in like 10 years and was just sent to another planet!

[@bertrandouellette1843]

one of the many underground "sabbath like" bands from the early meatal era. this is real metal my friends and fanatics

[@Frehleyacedude]

The documentary was awesome! So glad that Bobby beat his demons, ended up with a beautiful family and had is dream come true! Pentagram is a great band!

Valeu brother.

[@volinnrabbah3786]

Pedrada!!!

[@ConvictionDoom]

What a fantastic, magic moment this concert was. I was there, in the crowd, totally possessed by the music. Back in the 90's no one cared about Pentagram, Saint Vitus or any old school Heavy Doom band, I was one of the very few who listened to that kind of Doom within my friends, who were more into Doom Death (if not Black Metal of course). I knew maybe 5 people in Paris who worshipped Pentagram, Saint Vitus, etc... Not many more. Back then, I thought I would never see them live, really. This gig was litterally the definition of a dream come true, I enjoyed every second of it and was carried away by the magic. Eternal respect.

[@wout808]

Beautiful! Pentagram rules!

[@isolatecorpses]

Same thing for me when I saw them in San Francisco, completely punishing!

[@hombrelunar5194]

same happens to me a few days ago a dream come true in argentina

[@patrickmohan2220]

Not entirely true mate. I'm Irish and there was always a doom following in the 90's . Maybe you were a bit young to remember Trouble, Iron Man, Electric Wizard, Eyehategod, My Dying Bride. stuff like that.

[@clausjahnel5379]

@Patrickmohan2220 Very true! And these bands and their likes toured a lot back then.

[@breslaurock]

Pioneers of Doom Metal, simply AMAZING!

[@kenparker]

At least two metal legends are on this video: Bobby Liebling (great performance!!!) and Victor Griffin (the most acomplished Tony Iommi alumni ever, good as always).

[@cz4259]

Holy shit, how have i missed this performance all these years? Gotta be one of the best Pentagram shows of all time. Heavy as hell and every member is dialed in. That guitar tone!!!

[@robviikernes7744]

Been a Pentagram fan for years, and its just awesome how the guitar sounds so fkn heavy. Bobby Leibling was metal's best kept secret

[@looneyrunestv4801]

+Rob Trevino Indeed, but the credits for this guitar sound should be given to Victor Griffin. Nobody else sounds like that, not even the guitarists substituting him in Pentagram sometimes. To be honest, I don't want to see Bobby without Griffin, as I don't want to see Ozzy without Iommi.

[@roadkill2726]

+Looney Runes TV i meant to say Victor Griffin sorry lol

[@turtleonspeed6673]

great camerawork, great audio, great resolution, great show.

[@linusaslund6438]

I love the Tone of Victors guitar.

[@BSIII]

That guitar tone can slice through a bundle of iron rebar like butter.

[@quevicular]

Just like Lemmy, done speed all his life and still alive. Dont know how this is possible.

[@Genesis222777]

+ChiefJustice Middleton well...

[@quevicular]

Genesis222777 I spoke too soon didnt I

[@jacobcousins4234]

+ChiefJustice Middleton yeah lemmy died in december

[@leroyjohnson2712]

it's cuz he didn't fuck with speed, he was doing dope and coke.

[@leroyjohnson2712]

i was referring to Bobby Liebling not Lemmy from Motorhead

[@josemanuelcaballero1162]

Saw them yesterday in Oslo...fucking madness!!!

[@eden2esthar]

Tell me more

[@Siarawaszympanemjest]

I was there, through the entire set. I remember texting my mate, who was listening to something else, also on Hellfest. I wrote - "Holy shit, the guitar sounds heavy as all fuck..!"

[@scarecrow138]

i was enjoying this video until victor griffin's guitar tone made my house collapse. thanks pentagram.

[@henrygriffen40]

Yes,Victor has the baddest ass tone in the music business

[@SennepsTiger]

Victors sound this gig was/is unmatched, matt pike does not even come close

[@srenhedegaard4126]

Look into Bobby's eyes here. That is what metal is all about. Respect and love!

[@miisu]

Fuck that guitar sounds thick and good... exceptionally badass. Old school rules.

[@bergwandrer]

the guitar sound victor griffin's got nowadays is really awesome!

[@vinyldiary6664]

That guitar tone, is so fucking badass! Killer \m/

[@skipmichaels6184]

Love the vocals and guitar. If you are a true metalhead you should me rocking to this uncontrollably.

[@zedlips]

Victor Griffin is the guitar player, he is a awesome human being as well as a great musician. Victor is and has been a huge positive influence to Bobby..............and hey it doesn't hurt he can rip shit up on his guitar ;) God Bless you Victor

[@mcnowski]

Bobby Liebling cured on the steps of deaths door for decades to arise as doom's front man king.

[@sergey_engel]

Shivers. Victor just kills. The mix and performance are way better tha the original recording.

[@IronHordeMetalTalk]

Will never get enough of Pentagram, Death Row, Place of Skulls, In-Graved....Victor's heaviness is unsurpassed!!!

[@markobencetic1885]

I was kissing Bobbys boots hammered drunk in the front row two years ago...time of my life!

[@norseman3514]

Bobby IS the king of old school doom to be fair. I would’ve done the same, carry on fellow doom worshipper.

[@jnlhansonian]

Wow. That really gave me the shivers. I don't remember hearing many guitarist as heavy as Victor Griffin is here, though Matt Pike and Buzz Osborne come to mind. His guitar sound definitely reminded me of Osborne. He's really frickin heavy.

[@skyb8687]

Some one who gets it..

[@BSIII]

Matt Pikes Green Matamp tone from the early to mid 90s was some of the best. Matt and Victor are 2 top tier graduates at the University Of Iommi. Doctors of Heavy Riffage and Doomology.

[@jamiecunningham1565]

Incredible tone!!!!!! Same as Goatsnake and vive versa. Bobby is Amazing as is the whole band🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@palmerfix7831]

That tone is soul crushing.. So heavy

[@rubenangulo9305]

'you can't just enjoy the videos without one of your. Fxxxxxx advertisements ,commercials interrupting me'

[@focus04]

I need to see them next time they come around!! Bobby sounds good... Hope it stay that way. Dudes been thru a lot

[@Chuggsbigman]

My favorite part is they've stayed true to their sound! It's still pentagram start to end

[@thomasdudley4558]

The evolvement from Bobby garage band punk to metal master !

[@sleepingvillagehardrock314]

Long live Rock and Roll,...

[@medd1990]

Good production, especially I like that the sound is not too clean from the desk, but with all the audience noise, very authentic.

[@mitchbuchannon1]

A lone soul at night sits and bays at the moon Though sometimes he's a man it's a Pentagram Shogun blasts as he runs with the wind But he just can't win it's the Pentagram And now don't know how but it's happening to me Got the love from above but it's happening to me Black cloud hangs and it just won't leave though he wants to believe it's a Pentagram Hard to conceive and he tries to perceive but he's destined to grieve it's the Pentagram Now don't know but it's happening to me Got the love from above but it's happening to me I can't turn back now Stories unfold but they've all been told When he sold his soul to the Pentagram And to end his life though the silver is old He will reach his goal by the Pentagram And now don't know how but it's happening to me Got the love from above but it's happening to me Tell me one more time It's alright I can't turn back now Cause it's the sign of the wolf

[@banjohead66]

That initial tone reminds me of 'Look Behind You' by St. Vitus with Wino on vocals.

[@jakewilcken6602]

thank you for this hellfest

[@TheLordGoat]

This is the craziest Victors tone ever sounded, geez.

[@Itsyrm8]

By listening n watching all those f great bands getting the sound they always deserved just makes my doomed face smile! Death rows intro always sounded like a bloody grinder doing its thing. Always wanted to say that btw

[@jorgeantoniobargascarrillo2306]

hell yeah!

[@BradleyAnderson513]

Glad to see Bobby finally got himself cleaned up. They sound fucking awesome!

[@khushalbhadra]

[@BSIII]

That tone is just ridiculous. Doom legends

[@die99ote]

ITS THE PENTAGRAAAAMM!!

[@mnmountainman9343]

All I can say is EPIC

[@youme4904]

“You can never win, pay for all your sins” Bobby must have grown-up in a Catholic household.

[@heartsthekitteh6239]

Jewish actually lol

[@edwardkowalski8125]

Victors sound is unmatched

[@doomedandstonedlatam]

thanks !!

[@DrCharlesEdward]

Bobby's stare at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="619">10:19</a>, soul piercing!!!

[@renanrafmir]

Fuck! It's so heavy... Gods of doom!

[@juanjoseramoscortes8689]

Bobby is crazy man, psicothic and metal Father

[@clintcarpenter2489]

I fucking love this band!

[@lukemorgantattooartist4214]

Great to see artists come back from hardship in their lives. Truly inspirational to me. Not only to my visual art but also to the fact I’ve been on a musical hiatus for too long as well and as I’m getting more into playing my guitar and singing again Pentagram just so happens to be just the right push needed for me. Nothing has made me happier than to see this band come back. Truly amazing for rock and for metal and for punk rock as well. And what an amazing comeback. Truly the story of the century in my eyes for rock n roll. I can’t even just say metal cause rock covers it all. And yes, agreed that doom metal forefathers they are.

[@lukemorgantattooartist4214]

Bobby you rawk!

[@MrDoomlink]

... Timelessly wonderful Piece of traditional heavy doomed music from Mr.Bobby Liebling and his Horde. ;) Thank You Hellfest. So, glad that Bob is in such great Condition. Doom on Guys! Thank you for all you´ve done to me in all past years. Stay healthy.

[@tombpolish4445]

Legend

[@stonerdrums]

My god I haven't heard a guitar tone like that since Goatsnake.

Awesome. Heavy as lead great sound!

[@uncleremus5046]

Great mix!!🤘

[@spudeism]

Vic really knows his way around the guitar.

[@jacobduncan5072]

That second song!!! How Heavy!!!! Why didn't I know about these guys till yesterday... My favorite sport in high school was bong hits and I could have really used some Pentagram records. My bad.

[@extendedpinky]

i love he has come back and let us know what this group is

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

Bobby Fucking Liebling!!!

So nice to see this clip! I was there!

brutaaalllllll

[@renerodrigues1343]

Sensacional som demolidor metal doom.

[@indiopeltier9758]

So good

[@tomaskey6844]

Dude makes me happy.

[@drillthrallable]

What is it about that unique Pentagram guitar sound that makes it, well, unique? Can't put my finger on it but I dig it. Also, Liebling is yet again proof that to be successful in metal as a singer you need two things: an original sounding voice...he's got that for sure...and the ability to sing in tune...check. You don't need power pipes...those can be cool too...or a huge range. Just a unique voice like Liebling's will do. His style is made for the music he brewed up back in the 70s.

[@michaelcochran7177]

This is good metal!

[@iamraydle]

wow what a doc , this Is amazing congrats Bobby, Totally respectfully to you ,

[@alexbalam6120]

[@MasterMindManipulator999]

keep on rocking Bob,

[@gustavoautran]

wonderful

[@Sveinjk]

In Bobbys head this sounds perfectly fine :D

[@norseman3514]

And he thinks he’s still in his 20’s doing that tongue thing to the presumably lady’s in the crowd.

[@bizchazlien]

1 word to describe this,.. P O W E R ! ! !

[@W4RD1N8ER]

I don't know too much about Bobbys past but I hope he rocks out now and for the rest of his days I still think the original boys should be playing together not that there is anything wrong with the new Pentagram I just love the original sounding Pentagram either way I love them.
