Neurosis - "Locust Star" Live Ozzfest 1996

[@Big253Time]

My audio teacher Dave Clark is one of the best engineers who’s ever lived. This video is a great example of that. He did FOH for neurosis for 25 years and is an amazing human being

[@lepoisson]

It really is an incredible mix - the way it breathes while maintaining the heavyness. My only gripe since I first saw this clip a decade and a half ago is that I wish Steve's vocal weren't buried, but that may be Ozzfest's fault?

[@JG-ts2ud]

That's an amazing metaphor.... it's just breathing. Such a pulse.

[@MykeyCity]

One of the most powerful bands, sonically, that I can think of.

[@LonelyBones_]

Sunn O)))

[@PoonScurvy]

Isis were self-admittedly standing on the shoulders of giants like Neurosis, but I get similar feelings listening to them too

[@stevendemara1190]

💯

[@byeson4780]

Swans

[@RoastBeefQueefSniffer]

Limp Bizkit dude

[@zozobra]

I got this VHS in junior high. Seeing Neurosis for the first time was a revelation.

[@CarlosTourinho]

Same here

[@Captain_Tool_Vicarious]

Same here. This VHS in 96' Changed 5 teens lives in Reno, Ohio and finding Pagean Terrorism Tactics at Hoffas in Athens,..Acid Bath.

[@wizewizard1840]

One of the best live performances ever. This is incredible. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[@FLOURISHFAMILYENT]

Wow 1996.. They were definitely way ahead of their time

[@dudeok5978]

Right on. The first time I heard Neurosis was in 1999 when Times of Grace came out. It was like hearing 25 years into the future - there was nothing like it at the time.

[@JCFrost]

My thoughts exactly!

[@gufv]

Speechless. This is intense. Mindblowing.

[@xTheOxx]

25 years later, it's still the same 5 guys and what they craft is still just as pure and intense.

[@yourerightiamright.3709]

Not anymore... Sadly Scott and the band are done

[@therenegadej5764]

Yeah they kicked out Scott because he abused his wife and I think the band split

[@a.lateralus5840]

Scott revealed himself to be a piece of shit so it's over

[@OzzfestVideo]

Neurosus "Locust Start" live at Ozzfest 1996

[@hk-4738]

Locust Fart

[@chrisfinster1346]

I come watch this 2 or 3 times a year and that ending....that ultra power bassface? those slides and looks he gives off??? Like or dislike the band aside this is near objectionably the heaviest live performance to ever exist to date I think. Stupid heavy.

[@Jacob1701]

Neurosis was the best show I have ever been too. Sometime in early 90's in San Antonio. TX @ Cameo Theatre. Cant remember if Noah was on keyboards then.

[@kevinmackay2663]

Can’t get much heavier than that! What a Frankenstein of a band! Noah pounding a dark sound & Dave bellowing “ that which is above is as that which is below “ Playing possessed like a bunch of f’n monsters!!

[@josefk.122]

They were possessed by ALOT of LSD too

[@ianmorton1799]

Dave is an underrated voice in the band

[@MrHiram30]

Rise - shining blank Scars burn way down It parts ways of the Serpent view - cast Stones where to stop Calling you - they all Lower me to the ground Stick him - they all Lower me to the soil Stick him Star - reign down On you You'll starve Bright star in the Dripping sun Writhe on - saints Steal from your actions Step in right on it's Function - stick him Star - reign down On you You all lower me Christ's shine blinds Your world Your belief is scars The will to power Ascension manifest That which is above Is as that which is below Thy will be done Thy kingdom come On earth as it is in heaven So mote it be.

[@Deathbybigmac420]

The tour with Panter and Biohazard still sticks with me. it changed the way I see MUSIC and visual presentation.

[@shaysavage479]

I was there masquerade Atlanta ‘97

[@twoforone241]

it was Clutch & neurosis in Dallas

[@rjsan76]

I saw that tour in San Bernardino CA . Epic show!!

[@deadmeat08]

This song was my introduction to a life-long love for Neurosis. My friend bought a copy of the OzzFest '96 VHS when we were in highschool and I watched it over and over. First time I heard Biohazard as well.

[@alexandercovalciuc1484]

Such an incredibly brutal ending 🤘🤘🤘

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

These guys are in a world of their own. Shame their name doesn't come up often when discussing the greats.

[@franklinriley7074]

I remember seeing this when I was 15 on headbangers ball and all these years later found it!

[@zakiowais6829]

Sounds like the studio version. Really tight performance.

[@colinmasterson1604]

Holy shit

[@aaronmitchell8017]

Intense

[@TheMetalAllfather]

Legendary.

[@rodoxxs6134]

Amazing performance...

[@eclipsegaleocerdo]

wow i cant believe they performed this in 1946 this is awesome

[@shaysavage479]

Saw them live with Pantera and biohazard in 1997 insane performance

[@SjAragon33]

This is fucking beautiful and beastly

[@ow5319]

so intense

[@CarlosTourinho]

This song will be played at my funeral

[@RadioControlGuitarist]

Yes

[@darthgate9724]

beyond

[@jojolewis831]

be in these guys back for #ozzfest2017

[@ShaySavage-zh1yp]

Saw them with pantera and bio hazard unbelievable performance

[@baghodler508]

Classic 2000s teenager soundtrack

[@SchnellVITALVINYLVLOG]

Best

[@princealigorna7468]

I know Steve was doing backgrounds most of the song...but are we sure his mic was even plugged in? Because he was screaming just as hard as Scott and you can barely hear him

[@SaltWaterDrums]

My thoughts exactly...

[@tarkenton3895]

I think it's an intermittent issue. There's bits in the second verse where he's the only one screaming and it comes through, but then the next moment it just cuts.

[@achoqnaobb]

shitty mix, his mic is practically inaudible... sad for such a great performance

[@txhc_kyle5274]

Screech on the guitar killing it. Son of a bitch this jam makes you wanna put a fist through a fucking head

[@JG-ts2ud]

This exact breakdown puts a lot of their peers to shame.

[@killyourface11]

Neurosis have no peers.

[@dookieshoe2905]

So fucking gud! So powerful!

[@nalaniecoronado1106]

Damn !!!! is all I can say 😜

[@prometheandemise776]

This whole performance is insane but there is something about when the bassist gets on the mic.......dude literally sounds like hes possessed by a demon

[@johnmonica]

Saw this tour when they played with Soulfly and Hatebreed -

[@hailmammonmoments7568]

There’s an alternate universe where they got the right music video/promo and became Slipknot huge.

[@therenegadej5764]

For Scott Kelly’s sake maybe it’s better they weren’t

[@OverlvrdMane2613]

The mainstream wouldnt like them anyway, people only like simple and frankly stupid compositions, not theese masterpieces

[@ZrodyApo]

Their music is too niche for it to be mainstream

[@DCMOUNTAIN86]

Canoeeeeeeeee

[@littlebeastman2792]

my couslour i have is friends with the singer

[@josefk.122]

Soundtrack for the apocalypse. As in…currently

[@zacharycopple9461]

Good…..God! There is playing aggressive music, then there is channeling aggression.

[@Lycanthropy54or]

What exactly is the locust star?

[@A_Final_Hit]

A black hole.

[@tarkenton3895]

I believe it's conceptually a star that comes down to destroy the earth

[@seve-voraz]

.

[@Jakeman90210]

what is the deal with the shitty filter
