The Faceless ~ Full set ~ 10/1/13 on ROCK HARD LIVE

[@jacobmead7427]

somehow we managed to convince the faceless to play my hometown before crossing back into the states... it was around 2013, this lineup, this setlist.... they played to a crowd of 6 or 7 people... unreal how good and how underrated the band is

[@RBdestroyer3321]

This truly was the GOAT Faceless lineup, other then Evan missing

[@ianwashington7751]

I don't know about goat. I really liked Coopers drumming too and Steve's guitar playing was just as good as Michael and he was an OG.

[@buckfuttler2877]

switch in lyle and add Evan, and you are correct.

[@jrizzle1222]

Facts

[@rasmusolsen1945]

*Than - get your grammatics straight dude.

[@TheZombie1984]

Who's the vocalist on this lineup? Hes the one I've been idealizing in growling range my entire life.

[@Martti020]

At 15:53 Rudinger starts chattering with someone while playing a sick double bass part. This is professionalism right there!

[@t3hgir]

holy shit

[@crispy8con]

Alex Rudinger is probably the best hit-for-hit drummer. This is able to play a song exactly like it was recorded.

[@elramboxer409]

true, but something is missing live without Lyle...

[@rasmusolsen1945]

@@elramboxer409 The funny thing is though, that Michael Keene actually wrote the entire drum parts using a drum machine, which makes him the real mastermind behind it, not to take away credit from either Lyle or Rudinger for being able to actually play it live, Keene was always a fantast when writing music.

[@TheMisanthropist432]

the perfect lineup right there, i wonder if they'll ever find a vocalist like Geoffrey

[@Jaap-Relou]

and a drummer like Alex and a guitarist like Wes... This was the era were everything again was bright for them after the immense success and growth of the band when Planetary Duality hit. This line-up got them back on track after the break apart which all started around 2010...

[@KonradKavallieratos]

alex is a beast!

[@jazzerrocker]

This is the best new band I've heard in a while. Michael Keene's guitar playing is sick and his clean vocals add more to the guttural vocals.

[@ATXmw1]

So tight live. Saw them in Austin and was absolutely blown away. Rudinger is such a great fit for this band

[@BrandonofRedemption]

Wes Hauch is a beast. Never has a sour note! Glad he's in Black Crown Initiate!!!!

[@Skkitzzo86]

I love the fact that his solo blew Keens out of the water , starting at 10:16 , you can see the frustrating on Keens face as he doesnt nail the end of his solo, then Wes comes in and destroys his section, even points the crowd when he's down to almost say "fuck you keen, you aint all that". at least thats how it played out in my head while I was there watching live.

[@spoonerluv]

@@Skkitzzo86 lmao man you really reading deep into this

[@callsignscrottymcboogerballs88]

​@@Skkitzzo86😂

[@callsignscrottymcboogerballs88]

[@tomasguerrero905]

GOAT line up indeed...this vocalist man waoo and Rudi just making it tastier

[@masonrex59]

00:00 - "Create" 3:40 - "Emancipate" 11:00 - "Deconsecrate" 17:45 - "Accelerated Revolution" 22:30 - "Shape Shifters" 22:14 - "Coldly Calculated Design" 26:26 - "Ten Billion Years" 33:10 - "Xenochrist"

[@basementdweller9422]

* "Ten Billion Years" 26:56

[@MMA_Enjoyer]

lmao @ 2:28 looks like the vocalist hits the cymbal.

[@SegahHQ]

XD

[@darkflame1268]

XDDDD

[@Smartasacomputer]

happens again at 4:59 lol

[@tomsxe]

good catch lmao

[@thedavekane]

2:52 - 2:56 Very nice, Mr. Rudinger. :) 9:44 - 10:54 Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! And I really don't care the missing harmonics on 10:19 - 10:21... ;P

[@prestonmiller8485]

i FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!

[@TheConvalescent]

This band is ridiculously talented. The first time I heard them was live at the Masquerade in Atl. Fucking blew my mind. Sic fucking music, great stage presence and performance. The band is flawless.

[@riohippo5031]

I watched them live two months ago and still can't forget how good they are live

[@space78511]

the singer is like the marynard james keenan (tool) of death metal! lol

[@Ultimra]

alex is killing it as usual

[@nicholasgrijalva5842]

never getting over this

[@kevinhardman1489]

Wow this is really good!!🤘Great live show!!

[@theyngveohlin]

Underrated, underrated, out of this world

[@OsmonArtist]

This band man, this lineup omg. 🤦🏻‍♂️ unbelievable.

[@ThaBlackwolf]

LMAO Eddie at the end. "I get rock hard!" "...fuck I forgot the other word"

[@OhSoTrendyyy]

The little guy the pops up in the corner is too funny, just the way he stands lolol

[@chaotemagick3]

Theyre all so fucking good live I dont know who to watch

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@Ellienollie]

Alex rudigner is easily one of the best metal drummers of all time. God damn. Never ceases to amaze me.

[@TheKurbster4o8]

Raged so hard for ZenoChrist at this show! What a great set!

[@mddenis1]

Genius

[@NocturnoVision]

THE FACELESS - INCREDIBLE MUSIC! SALUTES FROM CHILE , BEERS UP!!!

[@DrummerX2010]

The Faceless have been my favorite band since the 2007 Akeldama release and I still like them and fully support the directions they take but I do truly miss their original singer and Ryan "Demon Carcass" Rydquist.still getting used to their new sing but he seems like he if fitting in just great. Rock on the Faceless!

[@TheMetalGamer66]

now that is how all fans should be

[@Wishmasters]

I don't like his gesture on stage :( otherwise I like him! I hope Alex will be able to write just as good drum parts as Lyle! I mean wow, he plays like a god, but can he also WRITE damn good drums?

[@DrummerX2010]

My thoughts exactly. Wishmaster

[@Daan7000]

I agree, his stage persona is too much for this music. The groove is pretty laid back while he looks like he'd rather trip around the whole stage. And he seems to be forcing too much and is almost screaming his lungs out instead grunting on some parts.

[@DrummerX2010]

I'm pretty sure Lyle Cooper got replaced on drums as well which sucks cause he was awesome. Brett Batdorf did drums on 7 of the 8 tracks on alkeldama and he kicked ass as well but Lyles drumming is better in my opinion.

[@Skkitzzo86]

10:19 Keene gets all butthurt because he messes up the end of his solo, then Wes comes in and absolutely nails his solo. I would feel bad for Keene but from everything you hear about his attitude its kinda great to see him not get the spotlight of the band from time to time.

[@mundodoscromos]

Wes > Keene

[@theylhompst]

I squeezed my eyes shut when he missed the harmonic, but the problem is that u right

[@bungo4519]

Eh, Wes didn't nail it but I see what you mean. 10:48 Wes kind of dicks the butt on a part. Either way, small mistakes considering the rest of it was all great.

[@Lakonthegreat]

Michael and Wes are both such fucking beasts.

[@tomasguerrero438]

The most tight lineup ever...my God, this was perfect and again, without Mr. keene's pinky finger...Not necessary!

[@ManuelMartinez-bg4sp]

Like Fantomas at the second song, exellent drummer but,,, where is the bass?

[@RockHardLive]

THX!

[@XxDavidxXPantera]

Wes Hauch is such a fuckin badass

[@Wrathofkala]

Damn Keene comes out with the Chris Broderick model Jackson on Ten Billion...that was the shit

[@psychaoticdrumma3061]

2023.... neeeed new material😅soon a.f.

[@dcti620]

Wes all day!!

[@underblade798]

Thank you so much RHL ive been waiting for these guys to show up on your chanel. Speaking of that did you film anyone on the about that life tour?

[@Xripunoff]

What cam coder was used for this capture?

[@RockHardLive]

Canon XH a1s

[@dyinglifes5298]

FUCKING AMAZING BAND theres millions of OVERRATED BANDs that can't even play like they should on a live show but The faceless does it and does it in a brutal way...!!!

[@baseball1441]

these guys are so fucking talented its nuts.

[@Daan7000]

Did you also record Between The Buried And Me? I see their backdrop so they were probably headlining ;)

[@RockHardLive]

we got a couple of songs, then they told us no filming

[@Daan7000]

Damn!

[@HEAVYxxMETAL]

+Rock Hard Live Is there a reason for that? They're usually so cool with people snapping pictures (flash or not) and recording.

[@RockHardLive]

+HerrStoneman Your guess is good as mine. I was surprised too.

[@ThePortal101]

great job on the sound quality! wish you could have filmed the Portland show I was at last night. I could barely see the band it was so packed in there.

[@felixgarstka]

just perfect

[@thethis8345]

15:57 it seems the drummer really enjoyed playing this!

[@lightspeedproject]

18:52 keene is just like "omg wes, quit that right now!"

[@Shilo83]

Very tight.

[@Oh_its_Mike]

Recently gotten into listening to these dudes. Holy fuck, they're 10x better live than recorded. I love Geoffrey, I didn't know he wasn't on Planetary Duality until the other day. They should re-record at least XenoChrist with Geoffrey...hes so FUCKING BRUTAL live. Fantastic band. For people that don't like Keens vocals, don't think of it like he's supposed to have some big, beautiful metalcore voice...think of it as his singing adding a haunting element. \m/

[@jonathanergueta]

Who cares for bass appearance. Best 3 songs to start a show!

[@GreenSmog17]

sooo good lol

[@Rohrerprod.]

Wes Hauch looks insane with a guitar hahaha!

[@tomasguerrero438]

The most tight lineup ever...my God, this was perfect and again, without Me. keene's pinky finger...Not necessary!

[@furcoat9458]

Wait is that Alex rudinger playing the drums? I thought that other guy played for the faceless? Can anyone give me an update

[@furcoat9458]

Brody Smith Thanks bro!

[@vatases]

It's the stache. Not only does he sound like Mikael, but now he also looks like him.

[@KKplaysit]

So fucking good.

[@CHEIFUMS]

A HUGE Thank You for uploading this~ Great Fucking Show \,,/ \,,/

[@TheRaven0us]

Fuck, Wes is so fucking badass lol, I wanna look like him playing guitar

[@CrownOfNails]

is evan still in the band ?

[@MultiHallo21]

micheal looks so pissed all the time xD

[@theguitarhero3]

+MultiHallo21 Not all the time. 10:21 - 10:27

[@MultiHallo21]

+Tavin Hong hahahahaahahah

[@Admiral_Bongo]

The dude's just concentrated. I have that face when I play stuff that takes some focus, too. Can't do anything about it.

[@maartenvalentin4162]

Mikael Akerfeldt is now in The Faceless?

[@omarmunozcastorena4466]

No.. he's still playing in a shitty band called... oasi.. opeth. just kidding

[@MarcoJarzombek]

Alex Rudinger is probably the best hit-for-hit drummer. This is able to play a song exactly like it was recorded. X2

[@Tool_jira_shugg]

7:40 A wild Baca appears!

[@tsconn23]

Greatness

[@lorndarken]

am i alone in thinking that michaels vocals are just awesome as fuck ?

[@Sylopeth]

They are fucking flawless ._.

[@Himihan]

Geoff's vocals are fantastic. So or Michael's.

[@Nicolas-hh5cp]

why don't play songs of Akeldama?

[@ashoridzii4738]

Awesome! \m/

[@tdogg1281]

Fuckin so talented. insane!

[@RX120D]

Michael seems to lack confidence in his cleans. His band is pulling off an insane show, but I'm distracted by his faces of displeasure. DUDE, just make it look like you know you're a fucking animal of a musician. I'm sure you know you're amazing. Make an effort to show it. It's the only thing bringing the show down (if you could even call it that, the show is amazing - DVD quality performance.). That's all dude. Really.. Amazing set by one of the best bands in recent memory.

[@nocturnusys]

Best progressive death metal band = FACELESS!!!!! \m/ (è_è) \m/

[@RockHardLive]

Most of it... yeah. Stay tuned... we have some editing to do.

[@AliothSenator]

Rudinger. RESPECT.

[@Andres-mp7ku]

nice

[@VERB65]

Where the bass track coming from?

[@thecrimsonweasel1973]

the PA system.

[@WhatzitT00ya]

LLAAAAAAME As much as I love this band, that's pretty lame.

[@VindictiveNoah]

The 4th is song is actually called ''Accelerated Evolution'' btw

[@2014andon]

Did they have no warm up band or something? The crowd in the beggining is like O_o

[@mikewilky7288]

Michael Keene is always so fucking shy with his voice on stage. has a crazy three finger technique though

[@tambian89]

He's playing with Suicidal Tendencies for a few dates in Europe and couldn't make this tour, but he hasn't left the band.

[@shawny757]

wheres the bass player or do they not have one

[@austincondict8659]

lol they're both wearing the same Contortionist shirt. maybe because The Contortionist played that night too?

[@alexandrelaurin4551]

i feel sorry for those 19 ppl who disliked because they have bad taste in music :(

[@SpartanCarver]

What happened to their bassist?

[@alienallen]

24:48 🤘 🤘 🤘

[@mondaachucho]

pretty good show, huh? pretty fucking good

[@sugadewantha]

without bass Still GG,Owning!

[@CarterMJones]

where's evan? 0_o

[@gonadiator]

Turn up that snare!

[@SApcGUY]

I think it might also have been a bit cramped in there

[@gabrielgacek9814]

1:10 trrrryty 😃😃on the d.bassdrum 🤪

[@TobyTheThrasher]

Where is Evan Brewer??

[@Nehilor]

A band without a bass is not a band, The Bassless =/

[@jed52]

idk what it is about The Faceless, but they run through bassists like used tampons. But knowing how awesome Evan is, they wouldn't just cut him out.

[@omarmunozcastorena4466]

LOL. i didn't know that. but sincerely i'm happier now, the bass player was a disrespectful piece of shit.

[@hddrummer8838]

just goes to show how useless a bassist is, haha

[@Kickstandsup83]

henry diaz Evan isnt there but they do have a bass line. Its just being played by a recording.

[@rothbardfreedom]

Inquisition is the only baseless band that can get there.

[@GilRock96]

bassist?

[@Himihan]

They just used Evan Brewer's bass track from the album. For the Planetary Duality songs, they probably used the bass tracks recorded for that album.

[@juhjermee]

Hey how about the contortionist? Get there set?

[@theomyling]

34:52 "BITE THE APPLE PIE"

[@Milbrandt001]

Where's Evan?

[@JoniAsag]

5:02 Michael Keene, the Pinkyless
