He had tonsillitis and was told by a doctor to not perform and he did anyway, this was better than a lot of metal vocalists are live. I get this information from Misha's ask FM.
Tonsillitis?!!! That’s some really serious signs of poor health in the body. 😷 He better drink some ginger shots. But the performance was amazing 🥲 especially the song “The Bad Thing”.
UncleRob199 I remember him saying on his ask fm that between Periphery II and Juggernaut he basically retrained the way he sings so he could handle full live sets without losing his voice. It definitely made miles of difference!!
+Matt James Well yeah, his vocals on the first record were very dark sounding, and almost strained at times. Still godly singing, but his voice does sound much healthier now
@@yannickvandervelden8843 Pretty sure he was quite sick, something to do with his throat. I'd imagine it was pretty rough to get through an hour long concert lmao
They are so tight it is actually ridiculous. There are other bands in the genre who sound about this tight but spend most of their time staring at their instruments. The fact that these guys can keep up this level of playing while jumping around like this is so cool.
I love how the lead singer isn't fucking around. He's actually doing his best to match his voice to the recording and not do a half ass job singing like most people do at shows.
I can say the he is a little of key sometimes. I watched "The Bad Thing" and he just can't hit the note! That's cool I guess, maybe he was tired after a long show...
I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but the level of clarity in the guitar playing between 3 guitarists is ridiculous. Most bands, especially during technical spots, tends to mesh together and sound like a jumbled mess. However, every note sounds flawless. Mad props for that and mad props to the rest of the guys for making their music sound so amazing live.
Part of that is that a lot of bands tend to use similar gear (same style of guitar/ amp) and tons of gain. With Periphery, I think they back off the gain and they use very different guitars from each other so each note has a bit of depth, especially when they're chugging on the same riff.
What a band can do on an album doesn't necessarily mean much when you're talking about live performances. Some bands record music they can't perform live. Which is why I complimented them. Silas Neves
Well, anyone has his point of view ... On interviews, Misha explain the use of 3 guitars, because of their Progressive music. And I agree because, they are doing it well both on album and live too ...
I don't know why people are bitching about the vocals, they sound pretty fucking good to me. It has to be difficult to do the cookie monster shit and still be able to sing clean. Then to be sick on top of that?
+EyesofNeurosis Thing is that spencer has a kinda shitty technique for the higher notes that causes strain on his voice and tires him out. Even though it reduces him live it sounds cool in studio.
+Bendik Steffensen He also says right after the first song that he has been sick so that probably factors into it some as well. Rarely do singers sound as good live as studio anyway.
There will always be a hater on this world for something or another, the other day i saw someone call Corey Taylor a bitch! and Slipknot sucks! that is when i stopped caring about internet plebians
Periphery is by far the best sounding concert I have heard. It was perfect sounded just like the album. Props to the band and FOH! Lights were awesome too.
i only wish the vocal melody at 32:51 was also on the full album version, not just the radio edit. when i first heard it i got really confused wondering where this melody came from since i've had the album from day one. Spencer screams both pre-choruses on the album, and sings both on the radio edit. Its the first time ive ever heard of a radio edit containing material not on the full album version of the same song. personally, i would love a full version that has him screaming the first time, and singing over the screaming the second time (like this concert but he can't sing and scream at the same time...) i will continue to hope they decide to release it at some point.
Love these guys haha. I remember seeing them in I think '07. The PA system blew out before their set and Spencer walked off cause nobody could hear him anyway, so the band just played an instrumental set. Chatted with em and bought a shirt after the show and they tried to sell Spencer to me hahaha. Really nice dudes, funny too.
yes, yes, and more fucking YES. Finally some live Periphery with decent audio quality. One of my all time favorite bands...absolute outstanding musicianship and impeccable talent.
diazzsama Indeed, Luckly a lot of times, live this stuff doesn't translate that precisely due to all of the acoustics so it would have been a pretty damn fucking good concert anyway!:D I've seen them several times now but still their performance in Holland once was the best fucking concert i've ever been through. The energy was just sick. Also, TesseracT was insane too! Best show ever!
The technical level of these guys is just stellar and I'm surprised that it's sounding so clean and clear live, almost like in studio. Spencer is a bit short or outpitched from time to time but whose singer isn't live after a few gigs ? (ok maybe M Shadows but he's an alien)
Weird to think I used to watch nolly cover sikth songs years ago, now he plays bass for periphery. I dare say he's a better guitarist than the lot of them! haha
Good band, nice and tight...just thought I'd give these guys a listen. More aggressive riffing ala Slayer, Pantera would put them over the top. Just my opinion. At least they're not up there fucking rapping or whining about running out of tampons.
I hate it when the audience tries to clap in time... they ALWAYS speed up like its a race (about 20min)... so funny Great gig! Top Band! Sweet Riffs!!! Does the video keep going completely black for anyone else? Man I hate flash video...
oh fuck yessssss I think this was around the time I saw them for the first time! I was front row right in front of Misha, good times! The line up was Safety Fire, Jeff Loomis 1, Periphery and Protest the Hero! still have the poster on my wall!
I remember when I saw these guys when they were first getting popular back in 2011 at the Palace Theater when they opened up for Dream Theater, after that I followed these guys religiously. Great Video and show!
Man I'm sad my Father is dead. He loved MetallicA. Even Slipknot, except the lead singer (growls too much). So I would have loved to expose him to this band with all that clean vocal and utterly heavy guitars! They are a GREAT band!
Even with tonsillitis spencer sounds better here than he has every PV era show so far. His cleans have been crazy out of tune lately. The band overall has become sloppy sounding live. I hope they get together and clean it up.
This was way better In person dude.. What the fuck Is up with all of the reposts of this REbroadcast.. And what a night to see a technically "local" band with some great friends at a great local venue!! 😃 Even though Spencer was feeling a bit under the weather, he still definitely delivered as always--we were right along with him to sing In case he unbelievably fell through on that delivery. I actually have closer up footage of MAKE TOTAL DESTROY, Alpha, and Scarlet posted up on my channel--Feel free to check It out If you're gonna watch this. P.S. The crowd/pit was fucking bumping and crazy (especially during Icarus Lives!)
All those people jumping during Masamune. While I know its stupid to feel this way, it makes me really happy to see my favorite band get to play to such an awesome crowd.
I know shit has a smell, but a sound as well? Indulgent tripe. And it takes 27 dudes to make this puny sound? Remedial rock, designed for the Zulily/Proactive set. Dream Theater, Korn, and Acid Bath would like their tab books back, please.
I saw these guys at download festival in june and they were epic:) may 13th 2017 it's time for sonic unrest tour to visit stockholm sweden and finally I'm goona see them again :)
