only tapping is hard

Dawson is a master. That tapping on Black Flame is awesome.

Terrible vocals tbh

Moved to Las Vegas and works for Apple. He's on LinkedIn looking geeky 😂

@@IainFrame lool

Yeah he does have distinctive sound to his voice for sure but to be fair the guy singing them now did a great job and the clean sections live are sung over by the crowd so it's not too jarring it not being Jason. I think it'll be even more interesting to see how their next recorded stuff sounds.

Per the statement issued by the band, it seems Jason wasn’t too fond of the direction their music was heading.

@@skylarshadows6661 The press statement said they had been on "different paths" for some time but a) that doesn't necessarily mean musical direction, and b) press statements rarely reflect reality. I hope we see him doing something again.

@@IainFrame Supposedly he wanted to commit harder than the others. The other members have commitments in the UK like work and families, so they can't commit as much as he wanted.

@@IainFrame Of course, it's a pity that Jason left the band, I like him very much too, he is equally good as a guitarist and as a vocalist. But this is a very clever decision for the band to take two new members at once, separately a guitarist, and separately a vocalist, who also took over the functions of keyboardist/sampler. This can have a very positive effect on the further material of the band, as two more creative minds appeared in the band. Jason was limited as a live guitarist due to the fact that he also sang, and his guitar parts were written for combination with vocals. Ed is not limited by anything, and can make up a wonderful guitar duet with Kristan, and the two of them can greatly saturate and diversify the guitar parts in further material.

Agreed this was what they came out to and you'll notice you can barely hear the lyrics at the start. It picks up later but still not super loud

Not sure, it seems he comes from Brooklyn as they made reference to his accent but no idea who he is.

Yeah same, I saw them twice back in the day as wasn't expecting too much as I'm not as familiar with their later albums but they killed it with this set, which was only stuff off the first 3 albums (unless I'm mistaken)

@@rockovids9945 I saw them in 2006 at Taste of Chaos tour with Deftones and Atreyu. They were amazing, played a lot of really heavy numbers. This is when Matthew Davies had some really incredible pipes for vocals. They killed it. You are very lucky to have seen this set at Slam Dunk fest, looks like Ryan their old drummer is back.

They really haven't they were awesome and somewhat to my surprise drew a massive crowd too, very tempted to grab a ticket to one of their new shows

It's just touring members so far. Tom Prendergast and Ed Hartwell.

Ed Hartwell used to play guitar in a band called Heart In Hand

@@rotaway892 Heart In Hand! What a fucking band! ❤️

@@rotaway892 oh my lord

Sadly not, I did watch them and took some pics but their set was fairly brief and while I enjoyed it, it was over before I realised
