Rutan is highly highly underrated. He's like the best rhythm guitar player who ever came down the pike, but his riffs are so bizarre and repulsive(?) he never gets any credit for what he does. He plays something like heavy-assed 12-gauge strings which is unheard of for playing these kinda riffs. Hate Eternal riffs are like swallowing barbed wire. Hate Eternal are definitely my favorite band of all time. Last album was phenomenal.
NEStalGeek yup, that’s him. I didn’t know who he was but I was blown away when they were doing their sound check, let alone the actual show. He’s a machine! .. as for the venue, that’s Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale. It’s a pretty small, intimate venue but I’m not a fan of their sound set up. The guitars and vocals usually sound very muffled in there
CE2a Bolivar wow.. I just listened to Origin. If I hadn’t seen him play live, I wouldn’t be as impressed. I would’ve thought it was the magic of studio production haha. That guy is a beast.
