Respect to this man. I actually thought FF used a drum machine the 1st time I heard them because compared to the drummers in thrash metal that I was used to listening to that just played really fast double bass, he was doing complicated patterns on the bass that I would only expect people to be able to do with their hands. I just assumed no human could do this with their feet. I wish I could just sit down and talk to him for 20 minutes or so.
I saw Fear Factory in 1993 at a small venue in Birmingham England called Edwards Number Eight (sadly now closed as far as i know) and Raymond's drumming very nearly blew me out the back of the venue lol
I'm glad this man is doing good and seems happy. It was his drums that introduced me to metal. I never heard such majestic sound coming from anything that was as beautiful is fear factory. I was sad to see him leave fear factory.
Wish raymond was still in fear factory. Too much drama in the band though. It's sad this guy is wasting away when he could be making great metal music. He is a beast on drums.
Please settle all legal issues the World needs Fear Factory I'm still a big fan. Christian and Raymond we need a reunion before it's too late. Look at the Great PanterA.
Yeah, it's not just his skill for playing, it's his skill for songwriting. I miss that fusion so much to their new albums. They sound almost like glued together. They lost some kind of realness. And also Christian obviously took a big part on that. It was a real whole Band, now it's more like a Burton+Dino-thing.
@@MoveInSilence23 Oh again? Thx for the news buddy, I'll check it out! But I feel like I don't care anyway. Without Chris and especially Ray FF never reached at least the half of their awesomeness of their early days. The albums after Archetype was pretty disapointing to me. Don't wanna blame Burton and Dino. I think both together was always about 60% of FF but unfortounately they never had a good replacement of the 40% added by Ray and Chris.
Absolutely. The way his drumming synchronized with Dino's staccato riffs made the FF sound what it was. Too bad their whole relationship was so dysfunctional in the end.
The best for me. The double bass kick drum king!, all these fucking idiots out there bitching about how "his hands ain't fast", well go listen to Replica, and he was never trying to be the fastest with his hands, because his own style focuses more on creating a chaotic machine gun kick drum syncopated hell!. That is all.
They never did, that's why they sued Burton and Dino for starting another band under the Fear Factory name when Raymond and Christian never officially left. They won the lawsuit and Dino and Burton had to pay them to continue to perform under the FF name. Which later led to a lawsuit again when Burton went bankrupt and defaulted on his payments to Raymond and Christian. It's ultimately part of what led to Burton leaving FF again. Dino now has the rights back to the FF name.
When I first got "FF" Demanufacture I thought it was fake drums,I was going to throw out the cd,,,a friend of mine said No that's RH..most Amazing thing I've ever heard,,So Philadelphia Ozzfest 98' 99' they were first band main stage,, Raymond was the Main reason I was there,,Got in first and walked almost to front of the stage and watched RH blow the Bass Heads off the front of his set beat for beat.. Awesome to see that,Made me want to up my drum game 1000%,,Thanks Raymond!!!
Worst hands. Best feet for a while. Really opened doors for me listening to Fear Factory and learning the parts as far as kicking goes. Even to this day, some of it isn't easy to play. Great drummer.
Dude. Please. Please. Get together and hash out whatever you need to with your brother's in metal. 30 frickin years. So many depend on your music together.
He’s got great taste in music, it really makes me sad that he’s not even playing drums anymore. He developed the band’s drum style. I’d be pissed off enough to at least go on hiatus. The drums on the albums without him sound great but I can tell that it’s not him. No offense to Gene Hoglan or Mike Heller, they are both great.
The master of double kick!

The same when first heard DEMANUFACTURE....
me too, blew my mind that was a human
Such a positive gamer xD
awesome interview.
Archetype is a great record
I saw Fear Factory in 1993 at a small venue in Birmingham England called Edwards Number Eight (sadly now closed as far as i know) and Raymond's drumming very nearly blew me out the back of the venue lol
Hell yes ray great drummer man
The machine behind the machine
Great drummer !

Ray playing some blast beats at the very end... Nice !
I wish that i play bass in Fear Factory on first 4 albums!!!
Best double bass player on earth
Wish raymond was still in fear factory. Too much drama in the band though. It's sad this guy is wasting away when he could be making great metal music. He is a beast on drums.
I also wish he was still in the band... but wasting away? How would you know?
@@yak6896 He quit music. He quit drums. Christian (FF's ex bassist/guitarist) confirmed it.
@@mnemic9564 What does he do now?
@@Rensune I think he might be doing video games now. He always did do those
@@mnemic9564 Yeah last I knew that's what he continued after music. What a loss to the metal community. 😞
Man up and settle your differences with Dino already and rejoin Fear Factory dammit!
Fr I miss the old line up
Original line up legends Fear Factory, Metallica, Pantera and Slayer are my big 4.
Easy for you to say. No one wants to work with him...
@@ecgodsmack86 replace Metallica with megadeth
@@norseczar27 No.
Please settle all legal issues the World needs Fear Factory I'm still a big fan. Christian and Raymond we need a reunion before it's too late. Look at the Great PanterA.
Agree
I’m with u on that my brother
@@daxid6763 I’m a Christian now , hope they all find peace and the Lord!
@@ecgodsmack86 amen to that my brother
@@daxid6763 Thank you my friend. Stay Blessed! Keep God 1st. Love your family and remember. Live Blameless and Show Mercy!
Great interview. I believe it was done around 2006.

Now Burt walked away...

Thank you
When was this recorded?
Raymond needs to come back to Fear Factory!!
Good interview

Just curious, why did Raymond and Christian leave this incredible band?
They never did, that's why they sued Burton and Dino for starting another band under the Fear Factory name when Raymond and Christian never officially left.

Ammunition!! Thats the track you hear at the start. Unreleased take from Transgression.
Is that a Cocaine energy drink t-shirt? This has to be 2007, 2008.
Damn those 07-08 t shirts would sell like hot cakes today
Neighborhood kid...in was younger but he stood out. We thought he was a stoner..He was cool guy though

Last I liked fear factory was archetype. Last seen them live touring with lamb of God 2004
that record player is very precariously placed!
Lol wanna start a band Raymond ???
Videogames have made raymond derail from fear factory. Their new material kicks ass unlike those 2 albums without Dino.
What do you mean?
Making more $$$ making music for video games. Then dealing with band practices, writing process, touring for the record etc.
Archetype is one of their best albums.
Archetype is a really good album. Slave labour , Corporate cloning and Drones are undeniably great fear factory songs.
