Fear Factory + Hate + Other Shite Support Dublin/Belfast 5th/6th October

[Pagan Saviour]

[Western Viking]

No interest in the gig but thanks, the title made me laugh!

[Pagan Saviour]

 

Yeah no interest in it myself this time around. Seen them on the Mechanize run with Hoglan on Drums then the Demanufacture show a few years later, both in fairness pretty good. No interest in the new singer or this in general.

[Thorn]

Should be the standard template now for gig thread titles

[Carnage]

They're their own tribute band these days, I wouldn't be bothered anymore. Shame as the couple of times I saw them in the '90s they were mighty.

[Caladan]

The new singer is very good, saw them live last year at a festival in Europe. Think they're releasing a new album. Shit that it is a Monday gig but I'll wander along to it

[Necro Red]

same and I'm a huge fan. Seen them with solid lineups and just have no enthusiasm at all anymore

[Eoin McLove]

I don't understand how people can get excited about the new singer who basically just apes BCB. So uninspiring. I suppose it's better than getting a hot female generic growler.

Generic growler....

Yes, I'm fifteen   

[Emphyrio]

I suppose if Burton isn't singing for them, I'd want to hear the closest approximation. I certainly wouldn't want to hear those songs sung in any other way. That's all well and good writing new material but that style of vocals is what makes FF work.

I saw them on the Demanufacture anniversary tour and that will do me.

[Eoin McLove]

I saw them on the Demanufacture tour in the SFX. It was a good gig. Not exactly amazing for some reason, but good. I think the only way to replace someone as distinctive sounding as Bell is to find a different singer with his own distinctive voice and go for it. FF karaoke sounds abysmal to me.

[Pagan Saviour]

I'm with McLove. And whatever about having a similar voice this cunt has the same haircut and mannerisms as Burton, it's all a bit weird and Temu

[Carnage]

Exactly. If he had any personality or identity of his own it'd be one thing, but this just smacks of the Static X situation - where you have a guy dressed up as the dead singer going through the same motions onstage. All a bit pointless, really.

The fact that they've been at it for a few years now and not a note of new music has been heard shows how dead they are creatively, and by 'they' I mean Cazares. I doubt any of the hirelings would get a say in the writing, given how he rearranged and rerecorded the last album after Bell left. All that's come out are rehashed versions of old albums. Give it up, move on.

[Trev]

Saw them a good few times with Bell, might go along to this just to see what the new lad is like, might not be arsed either

I do find it funny though how Dino used to constantly go on about how they tried to mimic his style for the albums he was out of the band, and then he gets an absolute clone for a replacement singer

[Sworntothecans]

Dino also invented every riff ever and every band signed in L.A. was because of him, no one used 7 string guitars until he did and he should be getting points on their records according to him.

He's as bitter as Mustaine.

[leatherface]

New singer is close to BCB yes but he can sing, but if you want the FF 'experience' would you want someone totally different? even the drummer is new but no-one mentions that they want Raymond Herrera.

I would prefer this than, let's say Exodus who now have had three different singers and it's arguably more of a mess.
