YOB - Adrift in the Ocean - Woods Stage @Pickathon 2019 S07E03

[@Landonmoto39]

I worked construction with Aaron Rieseberg’s dad in Salem Oregon and as much of a metalhead as I am, I had vaguely heard of this band until a conversation sparked up one day at work about how much I love the band Tool....His dad said “my son is in a band that opened for Tool a few times”, I almost didn’t believe it at first but it made me look up this band and I’ve loved them ever since....good music has a way of finding you....

[@trevordotto3729]

Funny, I found these guys when I saw them open for Tool. Don’t remember what year it was. They were the only opening band. Wife and I were pretty fucking high on mushrooms and I remember telling her that I need to find out who they are. Been in my top 5 fav bands ever since.

Finding out about Yob when you’re on the tools putting in work…. Wholesome as fuck. Love that shit brother….

[@MK_Ultra91]

YOB>Tool Tool just tends to remake the same song over and over. They are actually quite boring...especially live. Saw them in Portland years ago when my Gf bought tickets as a surprise BD gift. Tool fans had no clue what Fantomas were, who opened, and that in itself shows the level of "toolshed" they can become...anyone that can claim to love music, metal in this case, and boo King Buzzo and Dave Lombardo off the stage are a feckless bunch. We left 5 songs in. They all blurred together. As any quasi-pretentious Tool fans biggest go to goes: "you just don't understand" They were/are right...I don't understand the adoration or the worship, because I fully grasp music of all kinds. Sure, Danny can mash...but its wasted talent in probably the most overated act in existence and their best material was their very first EP. The rest is pretension defined because they clicked with a bunch of lazy kids who were moved by their first exposure to progressive chords, and went WHOA...when progressive bands have been around since music was being made.

This is probably the best Yob live vid I've ever seen. Fantastic tune, performance, setting, and capture -- even with the bass cutting around 10:45; but then they're all smiles. Totally flowed with it. All 3 of them were in perfect harmony here. So crushed that Travis isn't with them anymore.

@@ericp4169he was heavily anti vax when Covid came out and I think the band wanted everyone to be vaxxed during that time or something and he refused to get the vaccine.. that is the main reason he parted ways with them. very sad but I can get it on a certain level.

[@rainydayz6429]

⁠@@ericp4169It’s because he was anti vax when Covid came out. As far as I heard, the band wanted everybody to be vaccinated so they could tour and record some of their songs and Travis didn’t want to get it so it eventually led to them parting ways. I can respect his decision though, he’s doing pretty good for himself as of the last time I saw him.

Finally saw Yob live last weekend here in ATL and it was magical. I understand why people say seeing Yob live leaves you feeling healed. I had a genuine religious/mystical experience during their set when they played this song. They're the real deal. I thought I'd be in a moshpit at some point during their set. Instead I was enraptured in a transcendent moment of awe.
