[@hioeo]

@William Sergio You're right, no one gives a shit.

[@jeromepeters9842]

Whoever mixed this should get a raise,sounds great

[@GeoffBoydCott]

They should get them to mix their albums.

[@Jorgetime]

He's already one of the biggest producers/mixers in the genre ;)

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

Sounds better than the album...

[@mattjones6450]

@Jerome Peters it’s in the description, it’s the fucking Fit For an Autopsy guitarist lmao. That guy needs 5 raises now

[@dvaoa]

Indeedly-do

[@jasonberezowski2869]

Sebastians drum kit nearly burst into flames. Mans was killing it

[@hugorezende199]

and he is sounding great on this live set, amazing

[@Lennoxvrgt]

Everyone praises John and Gina, but Nick is the mvp I believe. Rhythm section with him and Sebastian

[@leeroden7900]

We need a baroness live album. They're 10 times better live than on record

[@irllyhatethestrokes]

They've got a live EP from the Yellow/Green album cycle, but yeah man, we definitely need a full-length live record.

[@luisfelipenicodemus2055]

Thats what I though listeting to maida vale 2. They sounds so much better than in the golden and grey record, so thats why I'm here. The guitar work is on another level

[@calwere]

Not the older stuff

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Only 10? 😁

[@prlysis]

Check out Live at Maida Vale, Live at Maida Vale Vol. II, their 2009 Roadburn performance (whole show is online, half is on the deluxe edition of Blue), and the Your Baroness Tour tracks (on the deluxe edition of Stone).

[@v4d3rm4n]

Baroness needs to keep this lineup of members in the band, they just work so well together.

[@instamarvelstv]

Couldn't agree more. With all due respect to all of their former member, this lineup is an instant classic and the best.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Facts, extremely talented group with great chemistry. Gina rules on lead and is a fantastic backup vocalist, Seb is an absolutely killer drummer, Nick is a very good quality bassist and then John is just an incredible all around musician obviously. This lineup live is glorious.

[@calwere]

@@instamarvelstv lol

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

"You are legally obligated to stay in Baroness for the next 25 years" sounds pretty chill

[@dheningt]

If only the guy who helped write the first 3 albums was still in the band, I’d agree with you

[@baMbouZ]

This is what live concerts should always look like : pure energy, real fun, smiles, excellent crowd and no f....cking phone.

[@ikemedanizu1917]

Yeah, so right.

[@kennykistler6735]

I guess you don't watch any concert videos of your favorite bands that were recorded via smartphone.

[@baMbouZ]

@@kennykistler6735 Not really :) Crapy sounds, crapy images.. What's the point...? And that doesn't take away the fact that all these smartphones are very annoying and spoil the concert. It's a very selfish and individualistic behaviour. It's the opposite of what a concert is all about. And that people should focus more on the moment.

[@jonkwape3097]

I love the little moments the drummer and the bassist have between them.

[@henrycurtis3652]

they keep falling into these little dancey but deceptively heavy grooves, it's amazing

[@jamatheo]

My God, Gina is a beast.

[@penoyer79]

I thought losing Pete would really hurt them... but Gina has added so much they didn't even miss a beat.

[@damiendelvallee7256]

They're all beasts... But they've found a mighty one in her!

[@rvfiasco]

Omg yes. Love her intently.

[@Defleshuary]

@@penoyer79 agreed, she's seemingly the missing piece we didn't even know they were missing.

[@JohnsDough1918]

@Dan Francis , as far as trolls go, you're at best a boring one.

[@wayanwiyono]

the sound of the bass is one of this band's strengths, sounds jazzy & funk yet still mingled in with the so called metal

[@ODR96]

Sebastian is such an insane drummer, I'm not sure how he's playing half the stuff he's playing some of the time

[@conz1012]

The man definitely doesn't get enough recognition

[@JohnsDough1918]

It took him some time to settle into the band, but then he became this incredibly heavy human drum and bass machine. He's the highlight of the band for me atm, which a is a lot considering Gina is also in it.

[@AJ-jj1gs]

your def. right he is def. good. did you know he is up for "Best Rock Drummer of 2019"? Go vote for him and help our guy win. Here's the link www.musicradar.com/news/best-in-drums-2019?fbclid=IwAR3DCYD-i_HZ8QtogcU2EDJ97jFN_7Suldd9cO5jmJoI5UF_FWuS40VgziA

[@IlGudz]

@@conz1012 Necro-answering a year later to let you know: in an interview, Tomas Haake himself said that Sebastian is one of the drummers he really likes right now. Guess this is quite a recognition haha

[@PMTluke]

Yeah he’s one of my favorite drummers of not my favorite. Such cool grooves and unique fills and stuff. Driving rythmic force to be reckoned with behind this band. I love the bass player too!!! Holds it down for the guitar arsenal to riff the freak out 👊🏻🙌

[@Mr.Bob_Dobalina]

Everyone who does the video, audio, production, ect. for the K! Pit, deserves huge praise. No matter the band, it sounds, looks, and feels fantastic

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Seb is such an amazing drummer.

[@curtissgulash1005]

Fender combo amps and single coils, and they still sound heavier than most bands using full stacks and active pickups.

[@broman82]

You can't mask soul with gear.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

I like distortion with Tele bridge pickup. Cuts through pretty good.

[@waywardsuol]

I was thinking that the entire time.

[@skalamaz3]

Pedals play a huge part in their sound.

[@MHJezzy]

in-fuckin-deed

[@bluejeans5456]

Can't get over how awesome the rhythm section is, especially on the new tracks.

[@CheeseTaterson]

Agreed! I can definitely pick out a bit of Interpol and Cure influence on the album. Lots of clean bass too.

[@adderon]

Seb Thomson. Dude's a Paiste artist now for a very good reason

[@separatepiecesofficial2786]

I can never even begin to express how much the drummers facial expressions make him mean to me as a drummer.

[@TomsGreenMind]

Still blows my mind that they get such a big, heavy sound from small Fender combos and single coils! Forget EMGs and fulls stacks, this is how you do heavy guitar music ladies and gentleman!

[@mayamita]

Too bad it doesn’t sound heavy. Great music, but the guitars are super thin.

[@recordatron]

Interesting how many people equate single coils with "sounding thin". Realistically they're just as beefy as buckers, they just don't have the additional wooly baggage. For this sort of music it works wonders as all the lead riffs are super cutting and the rhythm is nice and crisp.

[@DwayneCreates]

@@mayamita You're just used to listening to muddy sounding bands. This is what heavy and clear sounds like. You're misconstruing gain with being the only way a band can be heavy.

[@homelessathome]

well, the venue is also pretty small as you can see

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Yeah, you just grab a combo and some Blackouts

[@atmosk9991]

March to the sea easily became my favorite song of all times. Love you Baroness!!!!

[@thecoastalcircuit5771]

Sounding heavy as hell with those single coils and Fender combo amps. Proof that you don't need high gain to sound huge.

[@square95]

It's okay now. Peter preferred Les Paul type guitars with humbuckers which made the whole mix more full. I think the setup as it is now is a little too thin for songs from older albums.

[@JMaxchill]

March To The Sea, particularly, didn't fit the Les Paul / Tele combo - the guitars are playing two notes of the same chord in the verses but when they're that tonally different it always felt off

[@Fusso]

the noise gate must be cranked up to 11

[@movimentodoscacos]

@@square95 I think it's more about their mixes now being less focused on the guitars in general... like, they used to have the guitars fully at the forefront of their sound and now they're kinda serving a diferent purpose.

[@homelessathome]

have you ever seen Unsane live?

[@igorlemes1123]

Great performance! Gina was really an amazing addition to the band, her backing vocals complement John's so well! Not to mention the kickass twin lead guitars... Do Vein in the pit someday, please?

[@WhyNotMN]

Vein in the pit would be fuckin awesome

[@KERRANGofficial]

@@WhyNotMN Good idea.

[@CharasmaticCryptic]

@@KERRANGofficial MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE!

[@thecoastalcircuit5771]

Gina rules! I was bummed when Pete left, but she kills it.

[@penoyer79]

Didn't take her long to completely take over the live shows. She's a force of nature up there. Just a monster.

[@2abug]

Love those dual guitar harmonies « à la Thin Lizzy »

[@jbasti227]

One of my favorite aspects of Baroness

[@_mnejing]

I swear, John and Gina are just trying to outdo each other, and we all win for it. Nick and Seb are fucking incredible too.

[@jeffersongoncalves92]

Great series of shows, Kerrang!! Mastodon’s and Baroness both nailed!!!

[@jonkwape3097]

Agreed, and I discovered Gatecreeper through that show as well.

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@jonkwape3097 gatecreeper is great, proud that those dudes are from my state. Hope they keep gaining recognition because they’re a great band.

[@Astral_Wave]

Daughters

[@DeaDBodYDecoY]

The Purple album was my introduction to them...then the back catalog had me from the beginning. From diverse lineup changes, to unlikely matches of personal genres...this band has made Gold and Grey simply hair raising to add to the finality of the color records... Great job by the K crew for this well done video! LONG LIVE BARONESS

[@Noblesavage77]

Sebastian and Nick have become a blinding force of groove devastation. A la Allen and Summer. Baroness will always be amazing

[@gustavoleitejacovelli1451]

Gotta love the energy of the crowd, specially during March to the Sea

[@darkopeth1574]

First. Time i listen them. Very beautiful band.

[@EarthRockerAdam]

The guy in the front in the white shirt with the black hat on... had the best night of his life! I wish I could feel that much joy.

[@TerratechRobotics]

Fantastic performance! I've seen these guys a few times now, but my favorite was at the Middle East with Earthless and US Christmas. Best show I've ever been to, and I've been front row center right in front of Geddy Lee.

[@cosmicgeorges]

Enormous, grandiose, marvellous, sublime and the list goes on! Best rock band on earth !!❤️‍🔥🙏

[@brentniemi961]

at 20:16 that tempo/feel change was glorious....my first time checking this band out....CRUSHING!!!

[@buckfuttler2877]

Seb and Nick are such an amazing rhythm duo. HIGHLY underrated. they fit each others style SOOO good!

[@puppetmaster8551]

Whole band is so talented, seb is amazing on drums and Nick a quality bassist, they work together perfectly and then Gina and John work perfectly, between the guitars and the vocals they are great duo, hell of a band forsure.

[@Spacemutha]

Nice to see I’m not the only one who plays metal on a strat with single coils!

[@coolhammas]

This is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard.

[@cp99music]

Saw these guys when I went to a show just to see Zeal and Ardour, but they blew me away. Definitely need to see them live again whenever I get the chance.

[@Skeimag]

Such. A. Great. Show!! Can't believe the enormous shoes Gina is filling out after Pete, and how good job she does.

[@theArchive1O]

morningstar's drum timing is insane

[@Noblesavage77]

10yrs of Baroness.... appreciate everyday

[@ColinJarrett]

Excellent band. Love these guys

[@andistrom3478]

I listened to that band years ago and lost them...but today I saw that performance....and what should I say, it is just great because i like everything about it...the energy they are spreading is hard to say with words!

[@citizennbs]

I keep coming back to this recording since the albums are all so overly compressed. This is actually the best recording of a lot of these songs, lol.

[@MartPlocky]

There is so much space in their sound that iI've gotten lost and suddenly I was in that room with them :D

[@bobsagit2683]

She is an amazing addition truly wow

[@entertherealmofchaos]

A horse called Golgotha, so good...

[@JesperRingsmose]

Gina's vocals at 9:43 are fucking awesome! John is great, but Gina's intensity and raw talent and skill really takes them new places!

[@djentspence]

I like how the pedal boards take up like half the stage haha

[@MacSalterson]

You don't need a huge pedalboard to be a good guitarist, but John and Gina certainly make amazing use of effects while being amazing guitarists.

[@basildog007]

You should see their rehearsal room... It might be a world record, I'm not sure anyone can in fact walk in there. Some jacks have disappeared under the surface years ago...

[@dearzoshka]

If I remember correctly, John and Gina became friends partially due to their love of pedals.

[@metascension]

Yo, this sounds great, especially for a live recording! This version of Seasons sounds better than the album! Gina's voice adds a lot to the older songs, too.

[@rubyredz5663]

Joe Goddard sure but no body can make their guitar cry quite as well as Pete did

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@rubyredz5663 I don’t know about nobody, I’d put Cantrell above him in that area but I definitely get your point, Pete was great. I’m lovin gina tho too.
