DEMANUFACTURE LIVE 2016. PRO SHOT! 

He's struggling with the vocals, and yet he carries on! I love Burton C. Bell!! One of my all time favorites!

Burton Bell is a warrior, his vocal was absolutely destroyed by the "Therapy for Pain" but he gave zero shits. I respect that very much.

I have so much respect for this band since high school in 1994 and now in 2023 I'm 49 years old and still jam to these guys! A++++++

I can't dislike burton, this band is my favorite, and probably ended :(

Burton has stood the test of time...he has had a successful career. Years from now --- generations to come -- everybody will catch on and then it will be too late. I feel sorry for them. ~Fear Factory for LIFE~

As a drummer I love Raymond Herrera (and Gene Hoglan too), but, Mike is making justice to drums on Fear Factory on all this years. Great respect!

I just can't listen to Burton sounding like this. It's tragic. His voice is fried.

It's nice to see Tony Campos gigging again after Static X.

Burton C Bell - Creates unique vocal style that's hard to replicate live and performs a classic metal album at a festival when his voice is clearly fucked but still gives it everything he's got. People give him shit.....

The drummer played his parts as identical as possible to what Raymond Herrera did on the Demanufacture record which is splendidly magnificent, it's precisely what i would have done if i was the drummer of Fear Factory.

Y pensar que los conocí con la película Mortal Kombat y se transformo una de mis bandas favoritas, grande Fear Factory CSM!!!!

Well......Dino sounded great.

Hell yeah! For those of you who haven’t listened to “Soul of a New Machine”, you need too! Shit was groundbreaking when it first dropped and still is. These guys are totally underrated!!!

I have a lot of respect for FF and this album particularly. Burton...well, he is just not good live which is sad, but hey...we can put Demanufacture at home and enjoy the beauty of it. Still, FF is a great band and they made a great impact on metal music in 90's.

A therapy for pain is a great SWANS type song, these guys were so inovative!

Takes me back to 7th grade! Skipping school, smoking too much pot, ordering Papa John's with lunch money, and playing guitar all day.

A lot of acts now a days would’ve pulled but I give burton credit ..... the show must go on and I’m sure the fans appreciated it; ff for life

Burton He completely destroyed his great voice after long years of brutal screaming...

I discovered Fear Factory in 1996 when they opened for Iron Maiden at the Birch Hill in Old Bridge NJ. FF immediately became my new favorite and I've seen them over a dozen times. FF is a closed club band. Enjoy and love it. I last saw them at the Gramancy Theatre in NY for the 20th anniversary. It was awesome. And if you waited.... You got to hear about 2 tracks from most of their albums and then the entirety of Genxuis.

When these guys do come back I hope Burton gets some decent effects for his microphone, his voice is shot, but injecting some studio magic into their live performance would actually blend in fine with their sound.

Drummer is amazing the bass drum sound is awesome. massive respect for the FEar

mike on the drums is so good.

Tony is always a beast on bass every time I’ve seen him live! It’s crazy how much attitude one bassist can have

Burton will always be the master of metal vocalists, need Raymond back tho , Raymond is the real time machine!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Tony Campos. Unsung NuMetal GOD!

One of my favorite albums of all time!!

46:08 - 😪😪😪😪 , burton must had been going through a tough time but you gotta admit that the guy is a LEGEND and he was actually one of the pivotal reasons for creating that unique Fear Factory sound along with Dino and Raymond but Mike Heller is a beast no doubt ( check out his side project MALIGNANCY, then you can see how awesome and monster of a player Mike is 🔥🔥🔥) , he did an absolute amazing job in playing out the Raymond’s parts so nicely . People might complain about Mike’s poppy snare tone but I personally love to tune my snare high too , tonality is pretty subjective , no offense guys … Cheers

FINISH HIM! ...at the start of Zero Signal. Nice one

Don't really care how shot is voice is or is not, I would rather listen to him struggle through these songs than a flawless outsider sing the songs. He is the vox of FF, period.

Sir, thank you for uploading this.

I think it would be cool to hear a well put together choir sing the clean vocals.

One of the best weekends ever! I remember being in the vip bar and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw Burton standing there! I just kept repeating "oh my god it's Burton"! Then later at the signing tent after meeting Gojira and having them sign my drum head, walking out and hearing Fear Factory playing Replica! Sitting down in the kraken area and drinking liquor and watching the rest of their set. Followed by Gojira and Mastodon that night. It was amazing. I fucking love Bloodstock and suggest everyone to go to the festival!

I can,t stop singing this!

Awesome thanks for sharing! YEAH!

Mortal Kombat 1995 is what got me into FF!!! Fan ever since!! even with out Dino

I saw Fear Factory in Poughkeepsie, NY in 2015 I think and they sounded great as far as I remember.

I found FF when I watched the Mortal Kombat movie...zero signal is still one of the best songs ever!!!!

Simon Cowell has some feedback But seriously I love Fear Factor and I respect it's not easy to maintain a voice for such a genre over the decades. A real serious vocal coach might still be able to help! For me it sounds like he will have to explore new vocal techniques but it's totally possible. There's also some cutting edge surgery in Japan for repairing some types of vocal issues - RFKJ explored some and I can certainly hear an improvement - he has spasmodic dysphonia that makes any vocal activity difficult, not just some of the more advanced singing techniques.

People gotta stop giving Burton crap, dude had a bad show. Has he ever been a great clean live singer? No, but here his voice is just clearly inflamed most likely due to the long touring cycle they did for the Demanufacture anniversary. Every singer on the planet has had bad shows, off nights, blown their voice, it happens. I give him credit for not cancelling and trying to endure. You can hear him changing his screaming vocal style through the set to save his voice as much as he can, that is a professional. Going to miss his voice in FF from now on.

so many experts in the comment section that have also been in a successful band for 34 years

Banda magnífica minha favorita de todos os tempos ! É uma pena o Burton ter saído da banda... Esse baterista é bom e talentoso porém não vejo a mesma empolgação e força que o Raymond tocava !

Burton's vocal cords are dameged..I think he should rest for a while.

In fairness, Burton has never sounded as bad *in* the live show as it seems *watching video* of a live show. It is sad watching performances where he struggles and it's definitely years of improper technique. But I also think that "unique" style, not just the growl itself but the anunciation, inflection, all of it - it's what made it so great. I don't know who this new singer is but Burton is still one of a kind to me.

These vocals are hard to sing as it is and going from clean to harsh is very difficult. I think he did an admiral job and really gave it all he could all things considering. FF rules!

New Breed and Dog Day Sunrise are great here. Burton has his vocal problems, but who cares, he's still the best!

This is art, created by minimalistic, precise playing. Music can say much while using well chosen means.

божественно.....ждем в сталинграде-волгограде россия-приезжайте !!!!!!!!

-I don't want to SING that way- :(

Love the Snare!!! Awesome show!!!

Fear Factory drums usually sound awesome but the snare here sounds kinda plastic and thin (yet a bit too loud.)

Thank you~!!

Love Burton. But man this performance shows that they needed a new vocalist. Very happy they got Milo to keep the machine alive! 🤘🏻

Bodyhammer absolutely crushes.

First saw Fear Factory on the Obsolete tour (w/Slayer and Kilgore). I was warned by those who had seen them during the Demanufacture and "Soul" era that Burton's voice was usually blown out after the first few shows of any tour. Went into the show knowing that. IIRC, he didn't end up doing so well on the clean vocals at that show. The rest was fine, but I'm sure that by the end of that tour he was as spent as he sounds here. Anyways, this is normal. Everyone calm down. It's always been a thing. This is Fear Factory. Burton's voice can't sustain a tour, but yet they have to tour to make a living. Respect to him for always giving it his all, regardless of how fked it comes out.

Poor Burton , I feel for him. Its hard to sing growls all the time

In the studio versions there seems to be a lot of modulation FX on Bell's clean vocals (such as chorus) - it might improve things if he did that live too. It's a simple case of hooking the mic through a pedal or switch box.

Snare sounds like those practice pads you start with in 4th grade. FF, in the studio is still great. After seeing them in 2013 and now this, I can't. I'm still excited to hear Monolith though.

His voice not great anymore. But he is legend!

he is soo awesome but you can't deny he is struggling with the not so high high notes quite a lot which is a shame BUT He think he sounds pretty much like the cds which is PAWSOME :D

Everyday I feel anonymous hate!....he said it ...Y’all all some haters lol, sure he a lil raspy in the upper registers but he sound str8 and they did the whole record! Now thats metal! FF raised me in the 90s...I rather have the original singer...im nostalgic like dat. Fuk it

This show is the answer to the people who are mad about the fact that Burton left. With all the respect to him but he really cant perform live anymore without losing the voice. I mean the guy cant do this forever, otherwise he could lose his voice forever. He even talks with a raspy voice nowadays. It is a good example if you are a throaty singer and you push always the maximum out of your vocal cords, they simply cant handle such strain. Another example is Corey Taylor, after 2006 he pretty much changed his vocal technique for good, using more of the false cords, yes it does not sound the same as before, but he can nail a 2 hour setlist every show.

Damn... his voice is done. I love this band, but Burton should have retired already, or at least get a vocal coach. He is going to get permanent damage. He reminds me of what happened to Matt Heafy

Mike Heller played these songs perfectly on drums.

31:26 GOD HELP! :D:D:D:D:D

Barton's vocal cords are damaged... He needs rest and treatment.

Yellow Pages snare drum! Matching drum sticks!

30:40 wtf are these vocals??! lol

I guess you can look at it one of two ways: Burton’s voice sucks or you are a fan and don’t care. I love Fear Factory live, am a diehard fan, and can thus overlook “bad vocals.” Dave Mustaine’s vocals are mostly gone too and he still tours.

Iconic record, but really the cleans play a huge role in this song and we all know Burton busted his vocal chords a long, long time ago. Other than that, tight performance.

I fkn love/want that guitar!! 😬

bloody hell, this body hammer performance is so sad

Fear Factoryの楽曲表現するのは素人が信じられない位とても大変です バートンの喉は人間のレベルを越えていると思います。

That snare is so fucking poppy. Poor Burton's voice. FF forever!

Top demaissss

my band exhumation headlined the New Blood Stage this year! good set... i just remember the kick drum being so loud haha

I give a shit if Burton sounds a little weak here. These songs are classic and whoever still gets the vibes just needs to stick to the cd afterwards. It´s like a time warp. Love it!

Burton should do some treatment for his voice.. Anyways saw them in Barcelona with this tour and they sounded great

BUena miauuuuri!!! no sabia que te cabia Fear Factory!

4:15 burton doing his jello impression

El alma de Fear Factory es Dino Cazares, así que Burton tranquilamente puede ser remplazado, no da para mas su voz lastimosamente.

Burt just needs to stop, his vocals are broken, tired, done. Hearing him on Replica at this show hurt. I feel bad for him, I'm not dissing him, Burts work on FF records are amazing but everyone has their limits.

Listening to this makes me think that Burton simply can't handle heavy touring anymore. I saw them in London in December 2015 on the 20 Year Anniversary Demanufacture tour and he sounded pretty good vocally, including the clean vocals. This is 8 months later and the heavy touring has completely fried his voice. Even the aggressive vocals are terrible :(

Tony Campos was a good edition to live Fear factory. Although the Edsel dope static x he did was good but not static x

50 % Fear +50% Factory

Is the drummer hitting a wood block for snare?

😂😂😂 This is comedy gold. Poor Burton though. It sounds agonising! He should get some sort of digital voicebox and lean-in to the corrupt SD card / industrial accident vibe.

Campos gets around 😈

I dont give a fuck the coments against burton voice, Fear factory is a epic band, they are just old, but they still got it, Therapy for pain is one of my favorite song!!

Burton really needs to do something about those clean vocals... even if it's just to stop singing them. They sound awesome on the album and his screams are still great live... but listening to him try to sing is just embarrassing.

I'd like to see the original lineup reunite.

That’s the bass player from static x.

man burton destroyed his fucking voice dude. he still gave it his all.

Still to this day no one has figured out where burtons and Slipknot's S came from.

53:07 Dino is like “Burt…see me in my office please”.

Is that Tony Campos on bass?

y'all are haters burton sounds brutal as fuck here

16:31 Whoops Burt!

10:17

2:37 he knew he was going to leave the band. He was bankrupt (so am I all my life, specially when dedicated to metal). So he let some steam out. 50% for the audience 50% for Dino Saurus who was suing him. And used the bankrupcy to regain Fear Factory .
