They kind of committed a suicide when they kicked out the vocalist.

[@HalfenHalf]

That’s what I’m saying.. :/ i guarantee they wouldn’t of gotten as big if wasn’t for having vocals

[@cuttrogue]

Why did they kick him?

[@VilleAlama]

@@cuttrogue Who knows, one source stated that they wanted to be an instrumental band. Lucas mann is lucas mann i guess. They have also always had inner disputes within the band.

[@LukeDjents]

@@cuttrogue using Lucas’ words they kicked him because the rest of the band was uninspired with continuing on the same rings of Saturn sound and they wanted to do something different in order to actually enjoy what they do. I respect any band for doing what they want musically but the new shit is just nowhere near as good as the old stuff imo and I’m sure many others can agree.

Kinda hard to move around that much when playing extremely hard riffs

[@IAmNotARobotPinkySwear]

@@cameronhall1656 I both agree and disagree with you. Play something long enough and you can find ways to go out of your comfort zone. I never thought I'd be able to groove out or headbang while playing fast sweeps and stuff. But that was also 10 years ago, either you get better or you stay stagnant. And these guys have been around a long time.

[@ben14326]

On the plus side it sounds like Lucas is actually playing now instead of miming to a backing track.

[@OhTheEzekiel]

I know a lot of you guys weren't fans of this performance, but the shirtless guy in the front row looks like their #1 fan, fr. He knows their song, front-to-back, even conducting their performance at times! As someone who knows the guitar parts, I know that he knows those guitar parts! I'm glad that he got his money's worth.

[@nightchairrecords8655]

I was lucky enough to see them live with Ian Bearer. Even met him after the show, super cool dude. It was so awesome!

[@wrinklesprinkles7358]

This band seriously fell the fuck off. God damn like 8 years ago you guys were untouchable, now this shit. Seen them live like 6 times at least and it was always awesome. Ian was the goat.

[@rock_SauFaCe]

Absolutely. I can’t even believe this is the same band. They still rip shit up but the feel is completely gone.

[@bultronlagore4932]

8 years ago? Dude the album Gidim was one of there best albums. It was super brutal and technical as f. Now they definitely made a HUGE mistake letting Ian go because the man was like the 🍒 on top of Savage Tech Death Sundae. I hope he comes back.

[@filipdzero8739]

Man, this is heartbreaking. I saw RoS in 2019 and 2020 (literally days before the lockdown), once with Yo+Joel+Ian and once with Lucas+Joel+Ian and the 2nd time Ian was not happy & looked annoyed the entire gig, even though the crowd was having a good time. Then less than 2 years afterwards he quit. What a shame.

[@GonnaGetYouBoi]

yep, you gotta be able to play the music you write. decent composer, though. him and the other fraud "joel". LOL. you can blatantly see pieces of their videos being sped up. shit is cringe.

[@erxan4163]

ha!

[@FusionAmoeba]

Jonny Craig and Lucas Mann should start a band called 'Lost in the Sauce'

[@Samcomply]

I can understand that the singer had so much of an impact on the band, and that people feel this band is not the same without him. I do like this band, but I don’t listen to them as much as I do other bands, so maybe I feel less impacted by this. But I love technical music, I thought this was an awesome performance, and I think this can really be appreciated by anyone who truly just loves technicality or pure instrumentation.

[@lomobster]

just staring at their fretboard the whole time, what a fun show i'm sure

[@mikesilver9476]

Lmao this is hard to watch. When do they tour with haarp machine?

[@AvrDeathMetalFan]

I wish they still had the vocalist, also k learned that there’s no bass for this song too, k always thought there was

[@BLUEGOBEATS]

I’m also surprised they got rid of the vocalist. Definitely empty without them.

[@johnnytmcq]

I think it's better this way. Instrumental Metal is fucking dope.

[@ciudadanovivanco1]

Holy shit. I don't know if the vocalist was muting the sloppiness, they were always sloppy or it was midi the whole time. I don't care anyways, what I love about this band isn't the technicality but the creativity, and they have delivered amazingly with the last instrumental album; I bought it and i think it kicks ass.

[@cerginhopereiranunes]

You should care, it is an instrumental band.

[@pavielanastazie9509]

Lmao backing tracks and in-ears and their timing's still that bad

[@tijntjeofive8219]

Great skills, cool song.

[@nervnervnervnervnerv]

Why don't they have a bassist or a vocalist now? They've basically imploded and resigned to becoming an act similar to berried alive, which has almost zero reach at this point. Shame lucas is cheap, oh well.

[@DeAdiLLuSioNz]

You must be delusional lololol

[@lex_C_88]

They haven't had a bassist in years

[@kaoko111]

This presentation is just sad. I mean, yeah, nobody will argue that the playing is amazing, but You also need someone getting the public hyped. The frontman normally does that, without it there's no difference between this and listening to the record at Home.

[@vomitsky1728]

[@manboyy5347]

god dayum bro, this is baaaaaaad. I’ve seen live videos where they actually play clean with a couple mess ups here and there but this? It sounds like they need to sit down and practice. Not a fan of the instrumental direction and especially with how that sounded, they need a vocalist.

[@MarisaDesu]

[@momentarylapseofsanity3873]

Bro, they got real sloppy, also that drummer is incredibly sloppy too. I was sad when I wasn't able to go to this exact show, I'm sad to say I'm happy I didn't go. (Also bring Ian back wtf)

[@HughManatea]

So crazy where this bands at now. I saw them at The Boardwalk in Orangevale in 2014, and got to give these dudes some nugs on the Faces imploding tour with A.G.A.T.G. What a killer show that was. Cant believe that was almost ten years ago. Not sure outside of Lucas who is even in the band now. We all figured Mann was the main guy, and it looks like he still is.

[@Ford_Transit_Qustom]

its good but would have been better with a vocalist

[@Itiswrittenkjv1611]

No vocalist? Terrible idea. I mean if they started as an instrumental band sure but this is a downgrade. Not something I'd want to see live.

[@darrenpolk2316]

As much as I liked peters vocals way more, I still think they’re not the same without Ian. Maybe for shits and giggles they can get Alex who used to do vocals for Chelsea Grin

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

Alex left music to deal with his mental health. I don't think working with RoS would be a positive in that direciton.

[@IAmNotARobotPinkySwear]

Lucas Mann being the visionary he is, decided it was the best decision.

[@AaronAceroMusic]

So what the hell is going on with this band now? I’m so out of the loop. Vocalist is gone I see. But then I see a touring video with no Mann involved and a vocalist. ??? Can someone fill me in.

[@LukeDjents]

To give you all the major details: In 2021 RoS kicked out Ian Bearer, their old vocalist, from the band because they wanted to take the band in an instrumental direction. They said they were getting burnt out of having to write the same sounding RoS songs from previous albums and they wanted to take their music in a different direction. In 2022 they released their first completely instrumental album that received a lot of negative attention from people, but there was still a group of fans that enjoyed it. Right after releasing the album they did a tour for it, and this video is from a show on that tour. Fast forward to April of this year and Joel (the other guitarist you see in this video alongside Lucas) left the band leaving only Lucas and their drummer Ryan as the remaining members. Being that Joel left fairly recently we still don’t know much as far as if RoS will end up getting another guitarist or if they’ll be playing any more shows soon, but Lucas has said that RoS plans on releasing a new album or EP between the end of this year and the start of next year.

@@cerginhopereiranunes No he’s very much so playing on this video, you can tell by how poorly he’s playing it. Which again I’ll give him credit for, but it’s clear those “proof” videos of him playing stuff flawlessly were also fake.
