Bill Leeb and Rjys Fulber baby, woohoo. First got introduced to these blokes in '95 when the movie 'Hideaway' came out along with FLA's 'Surface Patterns'. What a surprise to hear all of their different shades of music by way of their side projects.
I saw them when I was young too, and now I am older. by the way that means you are older now too. I will say this though, that sounded great I think Bill Leeb is a Genius and is only getting better with age, like an aged dry red wine.
Saw these guys back in the day with Spahn Ranch in El Paso, Tx. Great Show! Awesome Showmanship! A+++ I just love their stage presence and Bill Leeb's performance and he's a natural at what he does. Bad A$$ to the bone let me tell you. : )
Funny a year later I find the same video that I commented on a year ago. Well it's a great band and a great song. I remember seeing them live circa 1995 and getting into the mosh pit. It was brutal I fell down and someone saved me by dragging me out by pulling my arm. Needless to say I enjoyed the rest of the show at the comfort of the bar. But it's strange I have seen Slayer live once and that mosh pit was actually sad. The point I am trying to make is if you are ever at a live Frontline Assembly concert be very sure before you leap into the mosh pit. Also I knew about Skinny Puppy before I knew about Frontline Assembly but I like Frontline Assembly better. Still I saw Skinny Puppy live with Duanne Rudolph Goetell, and that was amazing I miss him. If you're not familiar with any of his side projects you should check them out. Download is a great place to start.
I seen them in Milwaukee cause a buddy of mine had free tickets and couldn't find anybody to give them to. I love FLA but usually don't bother going to see EBM / Electro-Industrial bands live cause most they shows be boring as hell (how enough people buy tickets to justify entire tours for bands like VNV Nation is beyond my comprehension) what with a couple guys with synths and a bored looking dude singing the few lines in each song.They impressed me though. They had a guitar and acoustic and electric drums so they played quite a few from Milleniun and Hard Wired and threw a generic riff or two on top of songs that didn't originally have guitar. Added a lot to the energy of the performance. And gotta hand it to them, especially Bill... They did not let the fact that there were like 20 people in the audience dull their energy.
You know what I notice now? Painful production, when I saw them live twenty years ago the production was much, much better! They sound like they are playing under mud! Mmh.
Not my favorite song but decent. My favorite song on that album is final impact. Too many jetsons sounds going on in the background of the recorded version
