I have never listened to Godflesh before. I had heard the name a couple of times, so I randomly decided to click on this performance today and HOLY SHIT.....I am not sure I have even the right words to describe this and how I need this band in my life now forever.
This was my christmas gift to my mom. Godflesh is one of the many bands that she has introduced me to. We were both blown away. She was so stoked to stand by the stage and to hear Streetcleaner and I Me Mine live, it made me so happy to see her that happy. I’m glad that I can connect with her through music.
i lost my mind when at the los angeles show last year i head the filtered breakbeat of "i, me, mine" it was a moment i've waited for since highschool. i felt like i'd been transported out of my body, it was absolutely surreal. i was so lucky to meet them after the show. i explained to them how that opening track of "us and them" and the entire album was the reason i bought my first drum machine. he said they hadn't played it in 20yrs til that night and i assured him they chose the best night to bring it back. my heart fucking sank when that filtered breakbeat started under the feedback dissonance. very few live show moments have ever compared to this, in fact probably none besides the very first seconds of "pinion" into "somewhat damaged" performed entirely behind the curtain showing silhouettes only, at my first nine inch nails show on the fragility 2.0 tour. i had accepted that i'd never hear "i, me, mine" live. i'm so grateful they have decided to resurrect it. it's hands down my fav track of godflesh and is to blame for my entire taste and way of thinking in my own work for years, as it prompted me to get a drum machine. it's awesome when i hear of anyone equally excited by that track or album. "us and them" + "world lit" are my two top albums, both are relatively unpopular in the godlfeshverse.
Swans was hugely important to these guys. Big Black was an influence as well, but even more so, they've been very open about how their drums and rhythms are based on 80s hip-hop, RUN DMC and Public Enemy and such. They're such a wonderful mishmash of noise
In 1989, at the record store I happened upon the Streetcleaner CD and bought it because some record store employee had put a label on it which said "This will flay the skin off your back". Thank you, record store employee. Thank you.
Bought Streetcleaner when it was released in 89. Listened countless times. My music tastes have changed now I'm 50. But listened again recently realised age is just a number. This album was and still is a masterpiece. Pure brilliance..
Bro I’m almost 48. I feel yah Remember the record stores and the clank has you moved through the stack. Stare at the inlay read every word over and over while the stereo blasts.

This sounds amazing. Excelent job but you cant imagine how this guys sounded live. Pure loudness and the bass hits you in the chest all the time. Seen Godflesh playing live its a MUST.
Действительно,это индастриал такой каким должен быть. Два человека создают нам потрясающие звуковые монументы, из которых выстроено апокалиптическое будущее Земли.
Justin and Benny in peak form this evening. Sound system sounds excellent. Can't imagine what it felt like on the floor being this ethereal in a vid. 🤘🤘
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABALLZ! OMG, the sound quality, the set, I'm not even watching the video at this point (may check it out in the future). This is a gift from heckvan
I started listening to GoDflesH in 1990. They remain the best band from old Earache roster. These vocals and the effects on them truly emphasize the sheer extremity of the emotions behind the music. Ever moving forward into that stark future envisioned in decades past.💀🎧
my heart sank when it started at the los angeles show. it's the song i blame for buying my first drum machine. met them both after, told them that. said it was first time played in 20yrs. it was surreal, out of body experience for me. transported me to some other place. it was like existing in a future memory from the past. like as if i was hearing it for the first time and imagining what it would feel like live, but actually experiencing that, in real time. i think because it mirrored exactly what i had for 20+ yrs hoped it would feel like. afterwards it was like this inertia of a rollercoaster and this inner urge to tell everyone you've ever talked to about godflesh to go ride the ride. it was better than any drug high could ever be and that is how it should be.
@@lovedeathdisco I can only fantasize about living that moment that you've described. I've never been able to experience them live at all yet. The ONE band left that I'm dying to see live. I' m so happy that Justin is playing that song live. In my own mind, I think it's a huge deal that he's accepting those songs that he so vehemently showed so much contempt for.
@@SubharmonicCity i recently heard that at some point he was like well i was being hard on myself and us and them is actually better than i gave it credit for, or something to that effect. i hope you'll catch them this tour! go sell your old clothes and get a ticket 🤘🏼
Saw Godflesh live for the first time a few months back in Dublin absolutely blew my mind it was like an out of body experience i hope they come back soon beyond amazing.
i've commented this twice in replies to comments already, but in a brief way [los angeles show last year]: the filtered amen breakbeat of "i, me, mine" began, my heart sank and i was transported out of my body. where i was taken felt like the moment i had first heard it, which prompted me to buy my first drum machine and also imagine what it would feel like to experience this track live. 20 something yrs later i had accepted i'd never hear it, so it caught me off guard. it was like being in the moment of hearing it first time, imagining what it would feel like to be in a club with them performing it, and that imagined hope being flawlessly mirrored and in that way it was like experiencing a past memory, but from the future, but in the present. timeless and priceless. met them afterwards, incredibly kind. explaining that i blame that song for buying my drum machine and they said they hadn't played it in 20yrs. which just emphasized this whole time warp feeling. it was magnificent. indeed an out of body experience.
I've been to 4 different Godflesh shows and this one was another great one. What felt special, was that Justin seemed less anxious than before and more relaxed. Well the music doesn't come from that place, but he still delivered with G.C. I also liked how the setlist was no full on crowd pleaser set. But if I get to see them another time, I wish I could hear something from song of Love and hate and/or Hymns.
This band has never left more room for mistakes and chaos than on these new albums ...as long as the bass and drum machine are razor sharp ...the noiser, more chaotic the better !
still the fucking kings! A coworker handed me a cassette of Streetcleaner in '97, and life was never the same. They are greying and in their mid-50's but playing like it's 1988.
As a long term Ministry fan, Godflesh is either the chicken or the egg, I can't be sure of which and not sure I wanna know. Either way, this is genius. Calm upheaval, a brutally elegant ride. THANKS!
Holy Santa Claus shit!!! This is gotta be my favorite concert footage of GODFLESH. Perfect capture to the crushing sounds. Childhood favorite band. Been listening since street cleaner. 🤘🏻
This is a great set, much better sound quality than at the recent London Desertfest show at the Electric Ballroom (where there is often sound distortion). Great to hear the CHE cover also, didn't play that in London.
I read an interview with Broadrick recently and he mentions how they never play stuff off Us and Them because it's his least favourite work he's ever done, finds its "cringey" apparently but seeing I, me, mine appear on recent setlists of theirs gives me hope more songs off that record will appear live, not to mention they have got the loudest best sound I've seen from a heavy band, nobody comes close to live flesh

Brilliant band, all the better live, whenever they play live near you, fucking go dude, you will not be disappointed
Lots of excellent side projects as well
Do check out Dead World and Sonic Violence if you like this.

Best mom i'm the world. Congratulations!
As an older listener, I'm hearing elements of Big Black, early Swans and My Bloody Valentine. A great combination.
Swans was hugely important to these guys. Big Black was an influence as well, but even more so, they've been very open about how their drums and rhythms are based on 80s hip-hop, RUN DMC and Public Enemy and such. They're such a wonderful mishmash of noise
Godflesh also cited Killing Joke, early industrial like SPK, Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse. some Black Sabbath as influence
And Buddy Holly too. Can you hear it? :D
For those who didn't know: the Suicide intro might be a wink to their first ever show having been as openers for Suicide.
Wow, that is rad. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing
I realised about Suicide just as I pressed play. You sure about that first gig data? Amazed I know now about this
Yep, both members and Regis of British Murder Boys have mentioned it.
Benny being just Benny a total legend ( that Bass brings a tear to my eyes)
G.C. Green is truly an underrated Metal bassist. His bass sound and groove are killer!
GC Green is my argument (along with Bootsy Collins and "Family Man" Barrett) why you don't need more than 4 strings to be heavy
In my house he is a total legend.
He's the reason I play bass
My favourite Metal bassist
This audio is AMAZING. Gold medal to the engineer and mixer
No Shit!!
No gold medal for the cameraman though...
@@karstenstier1539 I think it looks great

Suicide as intro - chef's kiss -
Yes!
Sweetest riffs of my childhood 😮
where is that from cant find it anywhere
@@danielmoraes743It's a song called Frankie Teardrop by a band called Suicide.
Nah it’s a song called Che.
Real Industrial Metal Band!!! Gretting From Córdobda, Argentina!!!

Seen Godflesh playing live its a MUST.
The way that the guitars move into those harmonies on Spite never ceases to make the hairs on my nodding neck to stand up!
And if haven't listened to Jesu, I think you should ✨
Godflesh is one of a kind and I LOVE THEM.
I love the down-tuned 8-string guitar and distorted bass Godflesh sound. Fave album is ‘A World Lit Only by b Fire’.
Best band in the world.
UNIVERSE!!!
we are GOG in flesh! all of us! pure soul eternal dynamic energy🎉
Listening to Godflesh since 1992. Finally going to see them later this year. Great show!
you will not be disappointed. happy for you 🤘🏼

My first time listening to this band. It's a big surprise.
Thank you for the soundflash, this is mindblowing!🖤
Saw them in Soundwave 2015 in Sydney. Wish they'd come to Australia again!
saw these guys back in the early 90's they were an opener for GWAR... good times.
You know something is first class when you begin with an intro with Suicide
Nothing to see here...just a couple of GOATs at work!!!! 🤘🐐

same and same 🙌🏼
Ace! Sounds fantastic. So, so funky. So punishing. Godflesh.
Wauuuu años que no sabía de godflesh, sonido intacto, que recuerdos de principios de los 90' larga vida al noise.🤘🎸💪🇨🇱
Fantastic production and quality. Kiitos!
Oh, Ben's fuckin' crushing bass!! 1:12:37

Thank you Godflesh. Cardthartic release. Bleakly uplighting. Concrete laying bass genius.
consciousness ELEVATORR!!!❤❤❤
The best I've ever seen any band without being there, and prob 1 of the best bands I have seen live, fuckin awsome
I had no idea they were still together or touring. This makes me happy!! So much nostalgia!
Justin is a miracle! What is he touching is PURE gold! One of the finest talents of our generation!
This was one of the best live performances I've ever seen, and it makes me excited for their new future.
Kudos to Eppu Helle (live mix) 👍 Godflesh wall of sound🔥
Epic Still Amazing after all this time !!!
Long live the flesh!
Toujours aussi bon....
Also check out his God side project. Love his guitar work
Just any Broderick project is gold but God especially.
"I, me, mine" live sounds insane! And obviously the whole set is amazing. Thanks JKB for everything ♥
The Largest. True metal industrial.
Master!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I can’t die until I’ve seen these guys, and when I do, I may just find what I’m looking for
