Weedeater - 14 - Gimme Back My Bullets (Lynyrd Skyrnyrd cover) - Live@Metropol, Kiev [12.06.2015]

[@dekoener485]

The best Weedeater line-up.

[@xeverettx2564]

Agreed!!! I always liked this lineup! Super aggressive drummer who sets up center stage in the front, that adds so much energy to the live show!! Then ya got Shep playing his 1970’s era Les Paul Customs through multiple Marshall Plexi and JCM800 Stacks (no less than two full stacks of course)!!! Then Dixie runnin a cranked Sunn slave head and Sunn concert head on top of multiple cabs! I think he uses a Mesa 2x15 and another 2x15 or 4x15 stacked long ways on top each other the kicker is that he plays Squier P-Basses usually black on black I think! I heard he keeps the regular bass head with everything on zero except the bass and volume knobs are on 10, and the slave head is only a volume knob and that’s on 10 at all times. Truely defining low-end bass!!!

[@komafibre]

Yes! Why the F couldn’t they work it out to keep ol boy on the drums It felt snug tight & complete musically/visually

[@EvilFvckingVVizard]

​@@komafibrefr. Dudes my dad's age playing proper southern metal? Sounds perfect to me. Their newer drummer is pretty sick too

[@TheCcmarine]

Their drummer is so sick!! This band is so goddamn down to earth too \,,/,

[@MarcusMoji]

He played for Whores as well a few years back. He's pretty damn sick

[@TheCcmarine]

@@MarcusMoji oh no way I have a whores album, Gold I believe it's called.

[@killerriot22]

@@MarcusMoji The bassist/frontman Collins, also played and toured with OM and Bongzilla. I can't remember all else but... I want to go visit with my own band. We're practically in hopping distance away from their hometown. We just finished recording our debut and gig here in Bristol, TN: home of country music. But as hard as Weedeater is, you can tell it's also home to the southern hospitality and knock you out for messing with my whiskey. Or our shine.

[@gggallin8279]

[@un_loaded1331]

Best drummer in the history of the great Weedeater line up.

[@SmittyHeWasNumber1]

Gimme back my bullets is a timeless song. Real unique.

[@Liam-wf4ul]

It’s about the charts

[@Punk_Unkle_Guitars]

Easily one of the top 3 bands and performances I've ever seen live🤘

[@shannonrichardson3405]

I seen these guys live once! Never heard of these guys until I got to the show! I came out of that a huge fan! Before the show the lead singers comes out and says we really suck! Damn he was wrong on that!

[@richardjohnson474]

Wow those vocals are spot on.

[@namelessentity5851]

Never would I have reckoned that 'Southern Stoner' would play beyond the great Gates of Kiev. But there it is, that was a great crowd That is friggin' bad-ass|!!!

[@benajaminstanley8331]

Dynamics & knowing key components are essential, along with passion, the passion was there.

[@ErikArmstrong-l1l]

Cookie monster vocals...Love it

[@henrygriffen40]

WEEDEATER and DOPETHRONE are the greatest bands,they should tour together

[@p.e.4676]

So true!!!

[@lauring.4076]

Look at 0:23 this guy is giving dixie an lp, probably of his band or so. He gives it a look and takes it. They seem to be fuckn nice guys. Also the drummer is a fuckn beast, i hope i can see them live in germany soon. Listened to nothing else the last 2 weeks

[@jiesus2596]

Fun trivia, "kirai" is actually an old method of smoking tobacco in North Borneo.

[@user-ru9gf7ky2y]

Fun fact, I seen Weedeater open for Down in Fargo, ND 2009 w/ this exact song and it was the best song they performed that night. Did it beyond justice. I allowed it

[@CastleBravo62]

I love Weedeater so much!

[@robertmunro5382]

damn this is good shit

[@lukeedwards9068]

seems to be a faster tempo than what they normally play, great performance.

[@yannibjorlam536]

in my experience as a musician thats usually nerves from being in front of so many people

[@BulletmanDoom]

I hope we see a day when you will return to a peaceful sky. 💛💛💙💙

[@Liam-wf4ul]

This song is actually about the charts

[@DrMurdercock]

I never knew that until I just read this and looked it up. "This song was about regaining dominance on the music charts" Always cool to learn shit. You're a legend.

[@WeGachaMetal]

Great band!

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

Im from Georgia and the Weedeater guys look like average dudes here, it feels so at home. And they're down to earth like it too. Just hope that Dixie Dave's alcoholism doesn't destroy him, poor guy.

[@xeverettx2564]

Fuckin right ol’ son, those boys know how to rock! After all it was southern hillbillies who invented rock n roll. These favorite sons are just carrying on that tradition of Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, Elvis, JR Cash, and Elvis! Certainly keeping that traditional southern groove alive from bands like Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and throwball dat in a blender with the first four Sabbath albums and you have Weedeater!!!!! “Theirs no place I’d rather be than right here, with my white trash, rock n rollers, and, blue ribbon beer!”

[@jansonwalker]

The guitarist is like "What the living hell? Gimme back my Ronnie!"

Can someone give me the condensed version of who these guys are minus the Google bulshit

[@peacepunksean1942]

An amazing fucking sludge band from NC

[@welfarecrusader6855]

Buncha dirty hicks

[@mikedoss9777]

These guys are one of the original southern doom metal bands. There members have been in bands like buzzoven ,bongzilla, barstul, and others. They put on a great show and are very friendly dudes. Go see them if ya have a chance you won’t regret it!

[@mikedoss9777]

This shit ,right here ,deserves respect!

[@Excremental_Discharge]

To think, every single person who attended this show is now displaced because of the war. Some might be fighting for their very freedom at this moment 🇺🇦 ✊

[@ryancurry6801]

I never got to see Pantera do this cover, I reckon this will do \m/

[@kennethfrazee2540]

Drummer's a polymath, builds hot rods and other things, really neat guy from what I've seen.

[@DrMurdercock]

A lot of them have no idea what the band is saying. BUt all still going ape shit. Love it

[@justinkline1294]

What a crowd. New meaning is an understatement. Such a shame that war.

[@guitarelectricks]

Anyone knows why Travis Owen plays his drums perpendicular to the stage?

[@kreedmoins9118]

I stand facing my drummer the whole time when we play. ie never understood a need to stand facing the crowd im not singin and dancin im just pplaying a guitar aint much to look at haha

[@sdmfanthony5649]

So they can marvel at his bad assery. Duh. Lol.

[@phantomlord91]

Travis puts a lot of awesome tricks in his drumming so it's probably to show that off some more! And he's also not in the back and being ignored as much.

[@oigen90]

1. Because he's fucking good and everybody should see him. 2. Weedeater's frontman is bassist so he should stay close to drummer (probably)

[@gagaku666]

So the audience can see his hillbilly kicks.

[@johnniecameron8829]

How about SWEET HOME KOSOVO

[@teddyfjerdingstad2901]

Bråk støy. Ikke LS, men litt morsomt.

[@sepulsteve]

@@TylerADV and before that... Miller's Tale in Atlanta

[@Bowhunt_276]

sepulsteve he’s from Martinsville where I’m at, thought Miller’s Tale was from here. Maybe I’m mistaken, either way Travis is a beast 🤙🏻

[@redeyedrednek]

He looks like Otis. From House of a 1000 corpses.

[@natrixxvision6997]

I think the drummer and bass player both look like undead professional wrestlers.

[@alcoholya]

I never understood this.. I stand still and listen when I go to concerts. I know it may seem like I'm not enjoying it, but I am. It's none of your fucking business how someone 'behaves' at a rock concert, unless they're being violent.

[@NotaFiskal]

Soul Fingers call it weedeater

[@NotaFiskal]

And i dont doubt Dixie is a son of Lemmy

[@taylorhighfill8546]

Dixie is as southern as it gets. The fact that he has foreign crowds jamming to skynyrd is incredible. I'm jealous of the crowd.

[@kaintuckrebelskynyrd6628]

Hey. I gave these guys the courtesy of listening to this effort from beginning-to-end. I'm sorry fellas, but I'd suggest dropping this tune from your set sheet permanently!!! Man-'ol-man, twas most unlikeable. Just my opinion, okay??

[@peacepunksean1942]

Skynard never sounded so good

[@dustinshort6207]

I love both versions, but to be honest this one has more emotion behind it.

[@beerman7079]

The drummer decent an cool to watch the singing and the rest sucked

[@kissklassics]

They successfully butchered Gimme Back My Bullets better than anyone ever. Congrats.

[@jacobcousins4234]

kissklassics if by butchered you mean did a great fucking job then I agree

[@LiquidSpiral]

They’re a sludge metal band, what did you honestly expect them to sound like?

[@ndzick718]

nope

[@painfulviper8968]

Fuck off you wanker

[@austinthompson9127]

I agree, sounds like sheepshit. Why would you cover that song. It wasnt enjoyable. With the wack theatrics. Like It really made it something. They Mideaswell re do hotel California, and joker. Yeah scream slash it. Nah stick to your own music.

[@Mark-of1bz]

how to ruin a classic
