![ROADIE REACTIONS: REWIND | "Fear Factory - Zero Signal" [THE FIRST METAL SONG I EVER HEARD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6-ApwCguXU4/mqdefault.jpg)
This is the band that created the mixed heavy/clean vocal trend. They changed metal forever.
Not really. They made it famous in the mainstream for sure and albums like Demanufacture are top tier
Deftones were on the scene before them
What about pantera
@@Ray_SOAD there were death metal bands doing clean vocals before the tough guy Pantera started. Before that they were just a big haired, zebra spandex wearing glam band
@@Ray_SOAD I never really considered Phil’s vocals to be full on harsh vocals like Burton of Fear Factory. If we are just talking about vocals that have a wide range there are a ton of them starting with the “Metal God” Rob Halford.
In many ways, FF were ahead of their time. Devin Townsend said there'd be no SYL without FF. That ultra-fast, machine gun kick drum attack is commonplace now, but it was virtually unheard of in 1995. Just for starters. As far as your other point is concerned, metal is about just about everything, rage, hate and rebellion no question, but also beauty, ambience, love, empathy etc etc. It reflects all of the good and bad about the world today....
I mean if Devin said it I’ll agree wholeheartedly 😊
go hawks
It wasn't unheard of in 1995. Ferociously fast double bass drumming came from thrash metal, from the 80s and then it was taken to new extremes by death metal, late 80s, early 90s. FF's twist on it was to lock it in with the guitar picking, one note/one kick, so that it sounded as mechanical as possible, "industrial", indeed.
My favorite band. It's a shame they're not as big as they deserve to be.
With the nem vocalist seems reborn
This album (Demanufacture) is among some of the best from the 1990s metal.
Thanks for watching my dude :)
The last time I saw Burton live his voice was pretty shot. On the cleans he tended to croak rather than sing melodically. I have a feeling he didn't growl in the way modern more brutal singers do. So I think you are correct about his throat being closed.
Yeah it sounds like white hot tension, so it’s not a huge surprise his voice gave up. A shame non the less 🤔
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I take it a singer can't recover from that sort of damage? As you said it is a shame. I did see them many many years ago and his clean voice was really sweet.
Oh fuck off!!! Burton is a legend…. He’s been blowing out his guts for years with no vocal training…. Show some god damn respect!
when i saw them last time, unfortunately, the audience was cleaner than burton. luckily, they played a lot of classics, then switched to the songs from soul of a new machine. it was awesome@@madjock-ig5bv
FF is criminally underrated, they were the pioneers of the style and the shot of mixing vocals so and that chunky machine gun guitar/drums sounds . Dino is a mastermind and Burton was Unique....now with Milo (new singer) they sound soooo f**** goid live. Try please the track "Resurrection"' , a masterpiece with a Burton in his best moment. Thanx 4 the reaction!!!!
Thank you for watching my dude! Ill check it out :)
Burton C. Bell was also the vocalist on G//Z/R. A bsnd made by Black Sabbath bass player Geezer Butler. Their Plastic Planet are a phenomenal album. Songs like Giving Up The Ghost, Seance Fiction and Catatonic Eclipse
Fear factory's digimortal and archetype albums are absolute gems. These guys were way ahead of their time and influential. Please Please please continue with the FF rabbit hoke. Pretty please with cherries and stuff 😊😊
The fact you mentioned Digimortal and not Demanufacture and Obsolete is wildm
@@zane4575 or concrete. They're all bangers. Those are just my favorites and ones they're well known for
Rhys Fulber was a great producer. I loved how they leaned into the whole distopian mechanised human future vision thing. This one however is more like their 'pop' single haha.
One of my favorite bands ever... the obsolete album is fire
Thanks for watching my dude :)
Fear Factory & Testament were my gateway "drug" into metal music. Fear Factory was on the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack, and just fell in love with the sound. and around that same time a friend introduced me to Testament. after that i was hooked to metal. makes me feel so old looking back that far when i was in middle school discovering this music
Fear Factory had a song in the first Mortal Kombat movie . It was during the fight scene between Johnny Cage and Scorpion.
Yeah, Zero Signal was the song I had initially requested, and it's pretty damn awesome. But because it lacks a music video completely, I suggested Replica as an alternative. This is a visual medium after all. But I think ZS is a slightly more interesting song.
@@Razzmata77 best fight scene in that movie too in my opinion. I have a live version of Replica from Ozzfest and it's awesome!
Do Self Biased Resistor, Demanufacture, Obsolete
Adding to the list my dude! :)
All these years later, this chorus still gives me chills. Another great one from them is Resurrection if you get a chance. Burton's voice is definitely more mature in that one, and his quick switches between vocal styles are pretty cool.
I’ll check it out! Thanks :)
Resurrection is a fantastic suggestion. Shock, Securitron, or really anything else as well off the Obsolete album you can't go wrong.
Resurrection is a brilliant song. Burton also had an A tier scream, shame he didn't use it often.
Your witnessing one of the greatest metal bands ever
They have a new singer now
You are wonderful 😁 thanks for bringing smiles to my day
I love the fact that you don't stop the song every 10 seconds like some reactors. You give the song a chance to "live". Thank you.
You’re welcome Scott. I do my best to give it a good chance before I open my yapper :)
Fair play, your training has done you well. Really impressed with howyou dial in on the sub-culture of metal. One band that often gets overlooked on this period of Fear Factory is the Burmingham band, Godflesh. The clean and angry vocals of Godflesh where a big inspiration on Burton and others like Nick Cave and a lesser known band called Loop. Cheers for another great video.
You had me at Nick Cave! I will check them out 😊
Thank you for this! I haven't listened to Godflesh since high school! I know what I'm listening to today!
@@edroy2523 hope you have a great day in the land of Godflesh. Don't forget Head of David, Justins band before Godflesh, great music. Fear Factory also covered Dog Day Sunrise.
As a singer in this genre that has written songs with the heavy and clean dynamics its incredibly hard to pull off live. FF is my favorite band my band was heavily influenced by them and let me tell before i started doing it myself i used to get pissed when burton voice would crack live on the clean parts without realizing how incredibly diffcult that is to do live because your voice is going from one extreme to another. It very much humbled me because in the studio its a lot easier because you can track the clean parts first then do all the heavy and aggressive vocals after when you play live you don't have that same luxury. I was very lucky when we played songs on our set with those same type of transitions i didn't croak live because its nit easy at all. I can tell you if you want to hear his best live performances where he was in key on the clean parts there peak years were in mid late 90's up until the early 2000s is where he started to get more shacky live more specifically 01.
1995. You should check out Ressurection by Fear Factory
Will do :)
If you want to hear Burton C Bell singing clean, check out the band "Ascension of the Watchers" (in particular "Ghost Heart", and "The End is always the Beginning", Or "Residual Presence" he can sing clean. For a Fear Factory thats Recent check out "Monolith" from the Agression Continuum album.
Fear Factory is one of those bands that is/was a gateway band to the heavier deathy metal. Thank you for taking the time to them out!
I got to see them live a couple weeks back, I heard this song and was generally impressed. Not my usual listening but I appreciated seeing them live.
Oh that would have been an interesting one 😊
It was a good show! And one much needed after a hard support (shift) time. Also the chorus was done very well live, the vocals were intact.@@SoulSingerDiscovers
You gotta give Cattle Decapitation a chance, I know you glossed over them in one of your streams but I bet you would like them if you started out with the right song like Solstalgia.
I literally recorded CD last week. That one is up next Sunday :) Very Surprising!
So excited for this!
@@SoulSingerDiscovers thanks so much!
Was lucky enough to see them on the Obsolete tour in a smaller club.🤘🏻
For something 'ragey', I can recommend Suicidal Tendencies 'You Can't Bring Me Down'. Although Mike's not necessarily the most melodious singer, he makes up for it with intensity. And tempo.
Fear Factory are still going although they have a different singer and just the one original member left. This song is from 1995 and they've all spent the years inbetween, leaving, rejoining and suing each other. I saw the new line up last November in Manchester and they sounded great. Zero Signal is my favourite song of theirs.
Oh wow. The drama. I’ll need to check that one out. Thanks Richard 😊
Fear Factory? More like Drama Factory!
By all accounts Dino, the main guitarist, is a lovely guy and he's always given me that impression.
Never been a big fan of FF, though they were pretty electric live. Except the vocals - Burton was ROUGH that gig (i think in 2012). Not sure if it is a trend or a one off, but he was very flat whenever he was doing the melodic stuff. Didnt help the other two vocalists that night were Dan from Tesseract and Devin.
Edit: i just checked and it was actually during the time Dan wasnt in Tesseract, so it was one of the two vocalists during that period that performed then.
Ooaft! I don’t know if I would want to be on stage on that night. Yeah the general feeling is that FF were not something folk listen to a lot but enjoyed all the same.
I can imagine maintaining distortion and melody would be hard long term. It would almost certainly make it harder to hold intonation.
Thanks for watching my dude 😊💜
the most amazing thing about Fear Factory is that Burton c Bell isnt Devin Townsend
Your new video and audio quality are fantastic!
Yay, thank you Nicholas!! I’m still getting to grips with the tech and editing side but I feel like it’s heading in a good direction 😊 I appreciate your comment 💜
You are awesome as always! Love this channel! The Only One that I am a Member of! Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady! ❤❤❤
Thank you Scott! Lovely to see your name pop up in the chat. Looking forward to the next one 💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Always, My Fine Scottish Lady!
I just got the 6 month badge!
This song is awesome!!! Always been a favorite. The “LIVE” Big day out 04’ version is awesome!
I’ll check it out 😊
Not all metal's about rage. Some of it's about mutant dinosaurs from outer space! Though, come to think of it, some of those dinosaurs seem pretty grumpy...
😂 Outstanding! I need to hear this music you speak of! :)
I went through a time when I had a couple Fear Factory albums on CD (what a throwback) and was into them. They always had this type of metal going on, adding industrial + electronic elements to their arrangements. I also had a buddy at my last job who liked to listen to some of my metal discs on the clock. I would loan him artists like Dimmu Borgir + All Shall Perish, and he would hand them back as too dark or hardcore. But he was just fine with listening to Fear Factory’s music.
what the fuck is that snare roll
BRRRRAPP
BAP BRAP
BRRRRAP
BU BUH BAP
Epica do a great cover of this :)
Now that I have to look up :)
I saw them last week. As you know Burton is no more with the band since 2015 or 2016. The new singer is an italian dude and he was sounding good live. In general the sound was really awesome and the performance impeccable.
Fun fact, I saw them in 1995 opening for Iron Maiden. I hated them back then. But when I heard the album Obsolete (1999) I was blown away. Their best album in my opinion. If you return to them you should do Headchrusher or, even better, Shock that is their opener and a it's like being hit with a shovel right in tha bucket. The vocals are also super interesting and textured.
I dig Fear Factory. Although, I prefer the Industrial Metal sound more similar to early Pitch Shifter, Godflesh, and Dead World.
That vocal style was really popular in the 1990's. Phil Anselmo, Layne Staley, and Burton C Bell make up a good portion of the 90's best music and it makes a good description of the decade.
Fear factory tell a story through out there albums about machines taking over humanity, so in a lot of the songs it is that narrative they are sticking with and without that context or having listened to there whole catalogue it can sound like it is just about rage. Trust me they tell an amazing story (no doubt laced with there own feelings being sprinkled through out). So next FF you react to now knowing this you will see a different and much deeper story about machines taking over humanity and the resistance fighting them etc. Glad you enjoyed this song and hope to see you react to more
Yeah I’ll certainly be looking into their back catalogue for more. Thanks for taking the time my dude 😊
Yes, they're still touring - I saw them live in December. With the new vocalist, who was doing a superb job.
Fear Factory's sound was refined over the years, but I wouldn't really say evolved. Overall they have stuck very much to their particular sound. I think their newer albums are still very solid, but if you have listened to Demanufacture and Obsolete, you will definitely know what you can expect.
Well, with one notable exception. In between those two albums they released a remix-album called Remanufacture - not widely beloved by their fans, but easily the biggest outlier of all FF releases.
Some tracks straight up hardcore house, a bit of triphop sprinkled in, some pure industrial, and much more. It's not very consistent, but it's quite an interesting listen. And definitely a favourite for many of that small crossover group of people who are both into metal and techno.
That’s pretty cool I’ll need to look at more of their catalogue because I know I can hear some of the influences but I’m struggling to place them. A really nice little after I had for sure 😊 thanks for the request 💜💜
Yes. I saw them in Bristol in November with their new vocalist, Milo, who is brilliant....and i recommend linchpin (probably their biggest song)
I’ll need to check out the new vox 😊
He has done nothing on record yet, only the tour so you may be able to find live stuff. New album is anticipated soon
I now want a Fear Factory cover done by you where you're replacing the lyrics with the "RAWR RAWR RAWRRAWR"
I could do that :P
Yoo, reaction to Fear Factory? okay. Now i like this channel. The lyrics of this band are really into essentialism , Please give it a listen to the album "Digimortal" and u will see why.
And love the reaction and the feedback of the song
and i love your accent i love Scottish accent sounds to cool!
i was never the biggest Fear Factory or Machine Head fan in high school, but i sure do remember everyone assuming i would be into them 😉 and yeah, it turns out, i was
Im interested to hear how their music has evolved over the years as I know they are still gigging :)
Stopped in For the FF reaction but stayed for the Staley Layne😂 The remake of Gary Newman's Cars was something of interest if you ever get the chance 🍻
Oh wow I haven’t heard that version I’ll need to give it a listen. Thanks for watching my dude 😊
Yes
I went to a Rob Zombie concert for Halloween back in '99 and came out a massive Fear Factory fan haha. They were amazing and damn near stole the show as the opening act. Anything from the Obsolete album is just pure gold. They are so underrated especially for there part in the development in 90's metal, that sort of band like Mushroom Head that kind of skirted making it "Big" but never really crossed the line into the "Big Leagues". See the real magic is listening to Demanufacture, Obsolete and Digimortal together as they are intended to be a trilogy of concept albums all related as one big story.
Burton C Bell is one of the crowd in Nirvana's 'Smells like Teen Spirit' video - he's a self-professed grunge guy, so your AiC comparison is probably spot-on
Ah! Good to know Im not completely insane :) Thanks for watching my dude! :)
Oh wow another high school flashback…
I had Fear Factory on cassette tape with blown out car speakers 😂
💃❤️
Outstanding 😊💪
Love this song for nostalgic reasons but it pales in comparison to Kim Kitsuragi! :D Great shirt!
YASSSSS!!! You are literally the first person to point out my shirt and I’ve had it for like two years, and I am very happy about it. 30% of my personality is Disco Elysium characters 😊💜
Button's cleans always reminded me of Depeche mode
one eyed gerbil's and jazz hands, what more can you ask for to start off a show? :) love you woman! coughchildintimecough
Next up is linchpin, edge crusher, dark bodies, what will become, cyberwaste(a song you may enjoy as it's targeted at haters and keyboard warriors 😊)
"Staley Layne"
Im dying
As a fan of AiC, I fully approve of "Staley Layne"
Aw my bad!! 😂
Burton C Burton had me laughing for a bit.
Then you hit me with Staley lane.
Superb.
Thank you Ray! And thank you so much for watching :)
i think it'd be interesting to react to more modern songs from the band as well, the sound has changed some here and there. especially with the latest album, the last one to have burton C bell as vocalist, not that it's *that* different, but still. something to think about at least.
Yeah I think this is so early that a comparison with newer performance would be fascinating. Thanks for watching my dude 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers yea, only recently got into them from the Aggression Continuum album.
As far as I know… every ff album is a continuation of a story about ai machines integrating in to the world
That’s cool af 💪
Great fun as always! Although, I must admit...I was hoping for the one-eyed gerbil. :D Also, couldn't agree with you more about censorship in Art-there's no place for it.
october 31st 1990, not 1989. im one year older than the band
Album names demanufacture obsolete etc
Rob Zombie once stated that 'Metal is an outsider's genre,' which is very true. As such, it's dealt with personal/interpersonal/societal/political, and, yes, rage. Rage does feature heavily in Thrash Metal (Metallica's "Dyer's Eve" is a great example of rage derived from familial strife arising from parental expectations that their child conform to societal norms/expectations). Being a Metalhead in the 80s was much different than being one know, because, back then, there was a lot of societal scrutiny, because of what was deemed to be its controversial content (and while I can appreciate where that concern came from, the response was often wrongly applied and too heavy handed).
There was, also, a great deal of humour. Bands like Anthrax wrote humours commentary as a way at hitting back at overbearing, establishment attitudes. Their song "Make Me Laugh' lampooned Televangelist Jim Baker for so piously preaching about his family values only to - of course - be caught with a prostitute.
It's too much to go into, but the whole "Satanic Panic" and the P.M.R.C. (Parent's Music Resource Centre, the lovely people responsible for the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" labels, still, present on some material) were highlights of the 80s. But, I'll leave you to discover that on your own.
Now, understanding that you're a Horror fan (and I just know you're a romantic), for V-Day, you'll want to listen to "Deathmask Divine" by the Black Dahlia Murder. It's about an, actual, couple and a love that transcended death, itself. You can read about it on Wikipedia; there's, even, a picture - of the beloved - that will freeze your Scottish blood (and I say that, because it froze mine and I'm not a guy who freezes easily).
Finally, that's a fine and shiny, new lip gloss, young miss. Things must be going well!!! :)
Oh I think I might have to create a vid on the whole topic of Satanic Panic and the resistance to more extreme genres. It’s fascinating to me that anyone could be as affronted by music as some people are.
You unfortunately know me far too well already. I love the mix of horror and romance but like real romance not just sex. I am nothing if not a boring stereotype on certain subjects (she’s JUST like the other girls)
Thanks for the recommendation and yes it is. I feel like Diana Ross in my lipgloss 😆 oceans of love 💜
Check out the band Type O Negative
Already have! Blew my mind 😊
i love your accent 😁
Last time I saw these guys live, Dino was so drunk he could barely stand, never mind play. Good times!
Aw man! I can’t imagine being drunk and gigging. I’d be heroically bad 😂
When was the last time?
Nice reaction, add new messiah with the new singer.
I’ll check it out. Thank you for watching my dude 😊
I'm one of those weirdos who only likes their one disavowed album. Archetype. Fantastic from front to back and the only one FF keeps off spotify. So much drama with this band.
Not a fan really but didn't dislike this as much as i thought i would. That driving riff got me i think, i could enjoy that in isolation. Have to say i am right with you on censorship. Nothing but nothing should be beyond discussion.
Yeah I think that riff was my favourite thing about it. Hope you’re well Adam 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers F*cking awesome thanks.
I don't think this song is about hate but more about anguish. This song is not about the person that wrote the lyrics, this is about a child that was born of rape and that everybody hates becuase hes a constant remainder of that to the people around him. This is not an interpretation, this what the band said the lyrics are about.
Have to do Resurrection as a next reaction also this song is about being born because you mother was raped and she got pregnant if you look there is clip about burton talking about it
So many people say the 90s were a bad time for metal, which I have always thought was such a ridiculous thing to say. Fear Factory were groundbreaking in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, Burtons live clean singing voice wasn't great in his last years in the band. I've even seen videos of him from around the turn of the millenium where his clean vocals were pretty poor.
Sadly, Burton really destroyed his voice over the years. He just couldn't do the clean vocals anymore, and then eventually, he could barely do the harsh ones. It was sad. But a lot of extreme vocalists are faced with that reality eventually. Like Matt Heafy from Trivium. He got to the point that his voice was being destroyed and he had to relearn how to do everything but safely.
Yeah I think after chatting with Melissa Cross and seeing all the singers so far, there’s definitely people I can hear sound like what they are doing is coming from bad place support wise so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s lost a good bit of his voice. Which is such a shame. Might have to find a way to do a video on this conversation. Thanks for commenting my dude 😊
`Fear Factory used to be excellent, but got progressively worse over the years. They pioneered Nu metal on the album Demanufacture, with the melodic choruses and harsh verses. Metal isn't so much about rage as it is about Catharsis.
I think that is the most concise explanation. Thank you my dude 😊
You're a beautiful woman. Roll tide
There going to be here in my town but i don't want to see them..that singer is not in the band
Aw okay I didn’t realise he had left. I’ll need to check out the new singer
i have my stinkface preinstalled for FF
Rightly so 😊
