@jasonmcf Год назад

Seen them live many times, always up front. The sheer volume that beats you in your face for over an hour.... I know some people don't get it, and that's totally alright. Just glad I do. Hopefully Matt sticks around as long as Lemmy did. One of my favorite musicians.

@UWPcustombaits Год назад

I had tickets to see them but Matt got his toe chopped off and had to cancel, finally this past year I got to see them live and it RIPPED everything I imagined it to be !

@Eliphas_Elric Год назад

I’ve seen them live more than any other band… and only once was on purpose. They kept showing up at shows for bands I wanted to see and I eventually became a fan. Love Pike, dudes a treasure.

@jasonmcf Год назад

@@Eliphas_Elric Interesting fact, Matt was engaged to a friend of mines cousin around 10 years ago. He came to Soddy Daisy Tenn and stayed with my friends parents. They had a water leak or something, and he was out there in their yard, shirt off of course, digging with a shovel helping out. Can you imagine driving through a neighborhood and seeing Matt Pike digging a trench lol. They went to Gatlinburg Tenn, and from what I was told, they couldnt get him off the Nascar go cart track. I would have killed to see this.

@resindoc Год назад

probably the loudest show I've ever seen. Loud to the extent that I actually got dizzy and my high frequency hearing was shot for the next week.

1st HOF show was them opening for Motorhead in LA house of blues, never heard of them and then BAM this sound and shirtless guy surrounded by green stacks lol , been a fan since . Was a fan of Zeke and then BAM Jeff is in HOF . Many shows later they are still the best .

@coop1311 Год назад

I like how Jeff seems to write on guitar.

@RuffisInc Год назад

A lot of writing bass players do, much easier to get ideas across at first then jump on bass when you start jamming it

@Calenrod Год назад

@jonashermes Год назад

High On Fire is criminally underrated in the overall Metal scene. Many fans of extreme stuff are missing the heaviest of the heavy shit out there.

@sethuberalles Год назад

I love that after all these years of cranking out killer riffs Jeff and Matt clearly still have such a pure joy of playing with each other. They make a good team! I would have liked to see Blessed Black Wings and Turk included on this list but I can’t complain- you really can’t go wrong with any HoF.

@robertm6312 Год назад

Arts Of Self Defence is just a crazy album. I hope they play 10.000 Years, Blood From Zion and Baghdad when I see them in Manchester next month

@erikberg8352 Год назад

Blessed Black Wings? That said, their ability to make relatively simple harmonies absolutely memorable and hard hitting by developing their style is awesome. High on Fire is an adjective for a style of riff.

@CharlieWinterTV Год назад

Outro riff from Cometh Down Hessian is the best riff ever written.

I've never met Matt but he seems as genuine and human as a guy could be. I haven't gotten a single whiff of arrogance from any interview I've ever seen with him. It's like he doesn't realize how bad ass his music really is. I hope to see them live one day

These two created the soundtrack to my late 30's & my entire 40's decade truly amazing ! Adding Des in the mix and you've got blueprint perfection for a trio with power, tastiness & unobviousness which makes them astounding live! I've been lukcky enuf to see them twice but when i first saw them with gwar in vancouver at the pne they only were given enuf time to play 3 songs....disappointing to say the least! but being a musician myself i'm aware they had like 0% input on that time arrangement. Looking forward to anything new music or a vancouver tourdate i'm down for sither. keep on keeping on! L8rsk8rs!

@saltpeter7429 Год назад

Cometh Down Hessian and The Cave. Love em. I have absolutely no complaints regarding High On Fire. My buddy that introduced them to me said he was done with them because they went too" Metal". He went on to clarify that he identified strongly with the movement/ Idea of " Stoner Rock" and Matt's work with SLEEP was where his interest ended. I find the whole labels/ unlabeled thing kind of silly, whatever. If it's good I like it. And METAL will never be a bad word in my book, I dont give a shit what is going on out in the music world. Heavy Metal covers a myriad array of style and texture, if someone brings the excitement while playing a Bavarian cheese whistle I'm all in.

@InspiretoVictory Год назад

The first time I heard Fire, Flood and Plague, it crushed my fucking mind. An absolutely earth shattering riff. It made me have this fucking Mad Max type of fucking dream where a rat rod car was getting chased by an art deco style cop car through an apocalyptic urban wasteland. There were machine guns, explosions and lots of fire. The chase went through this long ass tunnel through a fucking mountain where a big ass fucking helicopter was waiting for them with a ton of missiles at the other end. It ended with the rat rod car getting fucking annihilated in an epic firestorm of missiles.

This is amazing! Its especially great to see them jamming it out rather than Scott Ian just talking about it (nothing wrong with that). It's also interesting to learn what Jeff has written. I knew he wrote some stuff (Matt told me and my group of friends in Bloomington Jeff wrote half of Snakes For The Divine).
