Fear Factory - Self Bias Resistor (Live @ Big Day Out 1997) (HQ)

[@NachoCheeseDoritos-my7pq]

Burton went hard on that tour! This right here is prime before Obsolete. The Obsolete tour was the best tour Fear Factory has ever done. Period. Everyone from Burton with his extreme aggressive vocals, to Dino with his groovy and chugging riffs, Christian with his comprising basslines and staying in complete sync with Dino. Insane stage presence. Great bass player, probably my favorite bass player of all time honestly. And Raymond with the massive power with his double bass and groove on the drums. He's always had my favorite snare on each record. Excellent drummer!

[@tomwisniewski8988]

This really hits me in the feels. I saw them live back on July 15th 1995 just after Demanufacture came out and I was utterly obsessed with them.

[@prpwnage9296]

Me Too saw them jan 95 in Newcastle supporting Ozzy. Huge sabbath fan but all I was singing on the way there was hey you rise up and got there a bit late opened the doors and was lit up at the back of the hall just in time to hear hey you rise up. Crazy time

[@Good.London]

Raymond is such an amazing drummer , bring him back

[@TrulyStucker]

Raymond retired from playing drums ages ago, sorry

[@Good.London]

@@TrulyStucker aw really I did see and read he did join or start a few other bands after fear factory but they may have finished as this was a fair few years ago now, if he has then that's a shame especially letting them super fast legs and feet go to waste

[@TrulyStucker]

@@Good.London it was nearly 15 years ago man. He wasn't an active drummer for ages. They tried to put the band together in 2010 and called COW and Raymond but these guys were not interested and chose to get royalties instead of playing together, so basically that bridge is burned looooooong time ago. Raymond never liked touring also. He saw himself more as producer and as far as I know he got what he wanted

Wish i wasn't so young in the nineties! This is Perfection!

[@revivedfears]

Me too man, would have loved to have saw them in the late 90's. Truly one of the best bands on earth at the time.

[@shaneharrison8648]

They were fucking sick. I was a mad Sep fan, and they cancelled at the last minute and fear factory replaced them, I was shattered. But fuck me - it was the best I ever saw. Saw Sep after that, and they didn't even come close to that.

Me and my brother were in that pit I just turned 18 my brother was 14

The Best fear factory ever !!!!!

Adelaide 1997 .. bring back old memories, coming just by myself to this festival no company. Maybe just few Asian coming to this great fest. I was very lucky and never forget this great moment. FF was one of one of the great performer on that day 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

Button on fire here 🔥

[@TheRealOne-hg1fl]

Dino sounds awesome. Just a bad recording.

[@shaneharrison8648]

This was my favourite of all time - will never forget this.

[@RedW4rr10r]

damn... Burton's growls are soooo god damn awesome here. Thank you so much for uploading! The keyboard at the end caught me off-guard lol Also, it's somewhat funny how they speed up the songs live so much :D

[@niroshanfernando4784]

His clean vocals are Pavarotti-esque & and add a melodic gothic touch to their already industrial metal monster of a sound!

[@Matt_JR]

Thanks for this post. Amazing years.

[@Hemidog]

The FPS was not ready for FF

[@Barney_rubble983]

I had this on vhs taped of the tv. I played it over and over again

[@metfan4l]

Great quality! Thanks for the upload \m/

[@patrickquinnsucks]

Reupload

[@TrulyStucker]

​@@patrickquinnsucks not a reupload. It's my own VHS transfer and render bearing in mind all the youtube video algorithms to make it look as best as possible. Also I synced an external audio from a silver CD recording which is much superior to original that VHS had. So it's not a fucking reupload, have some respect. I never reupload stuff.

[@gonzaloezequielabeliza6383]

Raymond Herrera....bestial

[@dreadsasho]

Actually he's all over the place, some parts are barely recognizable... Yes, this style of playing was rather groundbreaking at the time, but by today's standards this is very poor drumming. I like old FF, don't get me wrong, but triggering and quantizing drums in studio is a recipe for a failure live, because you can't never achieve the same precision.

[@hisvorpalsword]

Burton was so badass

[@NachoCheeseDoritos-my7pq]

Still is

[@jeroentromp7097]

Still f@/cking amazing good, ..after all those years!!

Wish the full show was recorded for us to watch.

I'm sure it was and sitting in some MTV or whatever archives

[@Casketkrusher_]

I got this on a bootleg, not the footage though but man this is a fine set.

[@fatalexception1269]

That old 90's trope of playing your bass on the ground lol 😁

[@richevans609]

Dino was big...

[@Intermentor]

I bought this back in the days when I was doing military service. It helped me a lot. I am not fond sharing room with other men (prefer women haha) and personal freedom will always rule

[@blixasice]

Does the cameraman not like Dino? 0 close up shots

[@revivedfears]

Amazing upload Stucker love your dedication to this band. Do you by any chance know anything new about this Monolith record?

[@TrulyStucker]

Well, it's finished like 1.5 year ago, delievered to the label, can't be released so far due to lawsuit from cow/ray. I have very very low expectations about record being released any time in future despite what Burton says. As far as I know FF are bankrupts and can't pay shit to cow/ray anymore therefore can't continue as a band and release anything. The band is pretty much dead at this point.

[@dorisjohnson6104]

new single next week!!!!!! last one with burt though :( FF is in my top 3 favorite musical acts/ bands of all time but no one can replace burt

[@jasonryan6675]

For as good a drummer as Ray was....he never failed to speed songs way up live..always something that annoyed me about him.

[@adammassacre4715]

If only Burton had learned actual vocal technique and didnt just shout he wouldnt have destroyed his voice so early in his career.

[@Poser_Metal_Records]

Look it's homeboy on bass!

Dinos playing is unusually sloppy here
